New Grower My First Grow. Finally. Feedback appreciated!

[420Forever]

Well, my friends, the “grow” portion of my first grow has come to a close. My purple punch is curing in jars, my first Fastbuds Northern Lights plant is in day 5 of its dry and should be ready for jars in three or four days, and I just chopped my last girl, the other FB Northern Lights. Here she is after a bit of a wet trim, just before chop.

Not bad! I could yield close to three zips from this girl, I think.

I got them all across the finish line! Now to carefully dry and cure, clean up, and get ready to go again, this time with more knowledge and hopefully a better plan. Woohoo!

plz post final dry weight for the purple punch, so me can give u a shiny lil badge :smoking: ppp

Such a good job and I see 84 G’s dry there. Which is dead on 3 zips. That’s also a talent I have is guessing dry weights lol. Watch it’ll be within 5 gs or so

Haha, that’s awesome. I’ll take that! Will let you know for sure. And thanks!

My first Northern Lights plant is on Day 7 of its dry and it’s damn close to putting me in trim jail. Some of the bigger stems are giving me the audible pop when I break them, and some are more quiet but they’re breaking and leaving the outside membrane completely intact. I think she probably needs one more night.

I’ve pulled off two small buds and trimmed them (.69 grams) and will grind and roll into a joint to see if it stays lit. Maybe they’re too small for the joint test to do me any good, since these are probably dryer than the bigger buds I have drying and will probably burn easily.

I actually trimmed and jarred the first Northern Lights plant tonight. The buds felt right to me through the trim, so I think my timing was good. I’m pretty shocked at the yield:

96.7 grams of bud
18.96 grams of larf/trim
115.66 grams total, or 4.13 ounces

And it’s really nice! It’s not caked in trikes or anything, but I love how the buds feel, they’re a beautiful light green color and they smell great. Pretty stoked about this yield. My final plant should be ready in five days or so.

Congrats. I have a Northern Lights I'm looking forward to growing. From what I have seen, they all seam to be big plants.
