What can I say besides hell yes!!!
My first grow is in the books. I spent the end of 2023 chopping her down and snipping her up. She is now kicking it in her mesh drying rack spread out amongst the four levels. She made it to 87 days from sprout (Probably could have gone a few more without issue, but I felt it was time to wrap this one up and move on to the next one)
I made so many major mistakes, but she took em all and came through with an epic harvest. I am sure if one of you experienced growers got a shot with her, you would be hauling away something special.
She smelled great the moment she entered flower, and her earthy gasoline smell built up until harvest. At the very end, I couldn't keep up and filter the smell, so I am glad she came down! (Neighbors may have had reason to complain soon!)
I haven't gotten a chance to weigh her, or smoke her. She is currently drying/curing so I will report back with the final update in a few weeks to let you guys know how much she gave in the end, and how she smokes. Thanks for joining me on this journey!
The initial review of the plant's genetics and growing process is 10/10. She was a perfect plant for a beginning and she ended up providing a harvest that will thrill my fiance, so it has been a win-win! I can't wait to get the final numbers and give her a smoke. If you are just starting out, or want a plant with some backbone I recommend grabbing some White Widow from Royal Queen Seeds!
Final update!
Ended up with 93 grams of dried nugs, and around 15 grams of larf/popcorn for edibles.
dried for 10, cured for 14. First half ounce smoked decently, but didn't have much terps showing through. I slowly brought out 14 grams at a time, and now a month after curing started the buds are smelling great, tasting fantastic, and baking my brain just the way I wanted. I am so pleased with the product and can't believe I managed to grow something like this on my first try. Can't wait until my 2nd harvest is finished, but this first one has been a near complete success!
