Congratulations on your successful harvest! So glad to see the final stretch went well for you. That's exceptional for a first grow. A Blue Ribbon performance for sure. Give yourself a hearty and well earned pat on the back! Take Care.

Sounds like you're pretty well on track for your harvest in approximately 10 days; my Northern Lights grows usually need 7 or 8 weeks in flowering mode. Regarding drying time, that's dependent on your set-up. I use an 8' x 8' closet without a window and keep the temperature at 75F and the humidity at 50%-55%. Under those conditions, with sugar leaves removed and stems kept short, I can usually get them dried in 2 to 4 days. When the small stems crack with moderate pressure but the large stems still bend, plus you can click a small bud off easily with very slight pressure, your buds are probably at the sweet spot range to start curing. Keep a close eye on the buds in the jars; if after the first couple hours they seem moist on the outside, take them back out and spread them out on a clean, dry surface for another few hours, then try them in the jars again. When you've done this once or twice it'll seem like second nature. BTW, your Lady looks great!

@AuldKelt, that's so funny I was just reading the complete guide to growing and curing last night from the growweedeasy website. Haha thanks for the tip tho

@GrowingGracie, I should have also pointed you towards an excellent tutorial on that topic on the GrowWeedEasy website. Look for The Complete Guide to Drying & Curing; it covers the subject very well and should provide everything you need to know. I don't agree with ALL the advice the site offers, but nobody agrees all the time😊. I'd have given my eyeteeth for a resource like that when I was first growing, but computers and websites weren't even a bleak in the eye back then! Take Care.

Seems like you might be over watering. Trying drying the plant right out then watering slow to bring back the soil
