First Harvest Ever! Pics Inc

Hi guys,

Well its been along 4 and a half months but I finaly harvested my plants last night. It took me and my girlfriend 4 hours to chop and trim. Here are some pics of our effort:



The buds were alot bigger than I expected (I didnt notice the growth under the canopy haha!) and the pictures dont really do them justice. By the time I finished it was 4am and I couldn't be arsed to try and put them into perspective. My trim is in the brown paper bag and I put some popcorn buds and nuggets in the tray at the bottom of the picture. Hopefully I can smoke them soon!

It was my birthday at the time of the harvest and I was allowed to open a present for every plant I completed haha. If only I had that incentive for most things in life.

Im struggling to get my humidity below 60%, but I have plenty of airflow and ventalation so hopefully I wont get the dreaded mold.

I will update with pics when they have been manicured and put in jars for curing.

Thanks to all the people on this site who helped me get through the final part of my grow, its much appreciated.

Any comments welcome,

Take it easy,

Peace

Awsome work! Congrats to you both! What is the strain and what were they grown under?

Brother, my first harvest in 1999 was under 8 4' tube fluoro and totaled about 10 grams. The second, three months later, was about 20. People like you, harvesting like that for the first time make all the grow forums on the net worth it.

What was your final dry weight?

very nice good job

That's only a day off the plant or so. At 60% humidity, give them a week or so, lol.

Pat yourself on the back. You deserve it!

Nice. How many plants and what kind of lighting did you use for flower?
I just harvest my first as well. It was only 1 LSTd little plant in an Aerogarden 3 but I got some nuggies on there. Nothing like those though. hehe good job.

Very nice, good growing congratulations and just think soon, you'll have the pleasure of smoking your own fine product.

Thanks guys,

I grew 3 plants. 2 x Pineapple Chunk and 1 x Northern Lights x Big Bud

I grew in Bio Canna Terra soil in 10ltr airpots. I used the full Bio Canna range: Rhizo, Vega, Flora and Boost.

I vegged under one 150watt blue cfl then added another 125watt blue later. For flower I used 3 x 125watt Red CFL's.

I only harvested them 15 hrs ago so theirs no point weighing them yet. The buds are huge and theirs plenty of them I definately have atleast 2 ounces just by looking at the amount I have, but it could be alot more. I carnt believe how much I've got for my first attempt ever! I know I can do better just with 2 plants nxt time considering I fucked up so many times along the way.

Right im gonna enjoy the rest of my birthday,

Thanks for all the positive comments, keep em coming haha

Peace

I'm guessing you got a a good 6 ounces there dude, maybe even 7. Nice job for CFL's, very nice indeeed.

Nice harvest man! How did they pineapple chunk treat you? Im growing some right now

Hey guys,

The pineapple chunk was definately alot more sensative to nutes and temps compared to the NL but I still got lots of big buds from them. They suffered from minor nute burn and probably could of done with an extra week flowering, but my other strain was ripe and ready so I harvsted yesterday. Grown properly I can imagine the yeild would be massive! Its a real stinker and has a lovley earthy smell, I carnt wait to smoke it.

If I get that much I will eat my own fist haha. I said all along I would be happy with an ounce from my first grow so anything more is a bonus. Im playing it conservatively and saying 2 for now, but im secretly hoping to get around 4oz.

Peace

If that's only about 2oz or ever 4, then those are some deceiving photos.

Brilliant!

u gotta keep in mind they were freshly chopped so most of the weight right now would be water weight that would be lost during the drying and curing phases. there is a massive amt of bud there but they will shrink as they grow

i am going to guess 2 and 1/4 oz dried.

very nice CD......great harvest.....Hope you have a great time smoking those buds bro.Keep it growing.

To correct you, the pictures really do do them justice. Very nice size buds for such a claustrophobic grow.

Harvest day and B-day? Good stuff.

If you are talking about using your closet grow room as a dry room referring to the 60% humidity you are fine. I've dried bud perfectly in 50-60% humidity with temps from 70-80. Some of those bigger ones will take a good 7-10 days.

Enjoy the BUD!

"Northern Lights x Big Bud"

Was that the freebie seed with your order? I've grew a few of those out with good results.

Yeah it was a free seed from Herbies. It actually grew really well and the buds are big and compact. It doesnt stink as much as the Pineapple Chunk but grew alot better, with alot less problems.

Peace
