First Grow Red Russian XXL Auto Fem.

I feel this was a successful grow being that it was my very first grow. In the beginning, the seed germinated very quickly (within 24 hours) in water. I then put her directly into the pot she was to remain in. The Red Russian XXL was an easy plant to grow and has put up with a lot of stress from a new grower. This strain had 5 weeks of veg followed by 7 weeks of flowering. The first few weeks I was not using pH'd water, then there was the three day span when I went on a trip and the plants only were watered one time. Came home to wilted plants starving for water. This plant also reacted very well to some simple LST. This strain has a very strong smell once the buds begin to put on some serious weight. The buds were very dense, frosty, and sticky. At harvest I pulled 5 ounces wet off the plant and ended up with 1 oz dry. Probably could have been more if I didnt stress out the plant so early on. Live and learn. I had the buds drying for 4 days in my tent before placing them in amber mason jars to cure. So far they have been curing for a little over two weeks as of 12/29/2018. I would like to thank the community we have here for all your help with this grow!
