Aurora gave me a few issues, but these were easily dealt with - she grew like a trooper, no deficiencies and lots of buds. She smells bizarre - almost floral, even a weirdly sharp, skunk fragrance which is mellowing as she dries. I use a vape, and the few test popcorn I harvested weeks ago and started curing smoke nicely. It takes a few minutes to notice anything, so it makes sense of pause a moment and get in touch. Aurora requires mindful dosing - smoke without thinking about it, and you may end up utterly sideways when you don’t want it. So far, she keeps me elevated and calm during the day if I microdose, which is exactly what I’m looking for. At night, she helps control my pain but she makes my mind a little too ‘busy’ to sleep. However, I find taking the AVB at night helps with insomnia (I’m weird, I actually like the taste of it, especially mixed with chocolate). I will take more photos of how she looks in the jar once she’s all done and dried. She’s been drying now for two days, and I imagine she’ll need several more before I can start the curing process.

Aurora gave me a bit of panic at first; she didn’t flower until I flipped her lights to 12/12 - even so, she finished up relatively well and quickly, with so many stems and buds. She will provide me with more than enough medicine for the next few months - I think I’ll be able to fill two jars. Apologies to all, but I don’t care much about weights or ratios, and I don’t bother weighing. Since it’s just for my household, I’m not fussed. I don’t throw anything away when I have a plant in such good health - trim, larf, and sugar (raw and wet) all goes into a jar full of spirit to make tinctures, washed roots too. Then I add some dried flower and trim, and finally some decarbed/AVB. Anything that can create a rounded medicine, I put it into a jar of vodka, strain, and use. And this is why I’m able to walk now, and my powerchair is sitting in the corner :) Thanks for stopping in - and thank you, Aurora. You have taught me much. I will apply what I’ve learned to the next grow. Northern Lights Auto proved to be a trooper - looking at her structure, I was shocked to see the size of her main stem - and how much the staking I’ve done damaged it :((((. BUT Aurora didn’t struggle at all, and took it in stride. I will definitely pay more attention to how I train limbs in future - it was preventable, and I’m probably really lucky I didn’t end up with a diseased grow as a result. More care and attention on my part!
