It's a big achievement to get these results in an outdoor environment. The ladies had a good life :) Now its your turn.
PS: You remind me how nice the SR smokes. I'll try some in the evening aswell :)

NICE work Sir :) Those are some nice looking buds. I would love to see them all trimmed up & dry. I have some that was harvested about 3 weeks ago, and I'm LOVING the smoke. You nailed it with the smoke report - exactly how mine is and down to the last detail on taste.

Thanks man! i was thinking of posting a pic of some dried bud next week ! haha im loving it too! SR really is one of my all time favorites! (so far :D i aint gonna stop growing now when i got a hang of it !) but probably gonna grow some more SR next time aswell :)

I really tried to be accurate and detailed with the smoke report so im happy to hear that :)

Wow ur buds look awesome aswell! checked ur link, ur plants look great, quite bushy which i find weird because mine weren't bushy at all, they also are bigger than mine which is explained by the indoor/outdoor aspect, the amount of soil (i only used 1gallon per plant) & the ability to control the environment when growing inside.

funny to see how different the same strain may be with two different individuals, and its also interesting to see how differently they grow inside compared to outside.

Good results man! Remember to enjoy ;)

Hey. I just realised that with 6 - 8 Weeks Nirvana is talking about flowering time. So if your plants start flowering 4 weeks after germination. They might be done 10-12 Weeks after germination :)
That sounds about right for your grow. Also note that any timescale breeders give out are under the best possible conditions.

When nirvana says flowering time, it means from seed to harvest because auto's are always in flowering stage pretty well. It just doesnt make sense for it to be 10-12 weeks. All mine were done exactly when they said. Example.. Blue mystic nirvana auto.. says 5-7 weeks, mine was done at 8 weeks. Northern Lights Nirvana auto says 7-9 weeks, mine was done in 9 weeks. Bubblicious nirvana auto says 6-8 weeks, mine were done at 8 weeks. Its never good to crop late, every day after your plants ready it looses its potency. Just going from my experience. Regular plants however is correct for flowering time.

Im just a noob on my first grow so i wouldnt know :)
Im 1 week away from harvesting and im checking the trichomes daily with a magnifier. For my grow i need to add 2 weeks to nirvanas estimates and thats about the time they needed to Veg.
Also those estimates are for Indoor where one can control the conditions. Just saying

Well for me they were more like flowering times than seed-harvest, but i think nirvana means it as from seed to harvest but thats only in ideal conditions.

Sorry for not posting anything for a while , had been busy and high :) i harvested the remaining 3plants (i thought there were only 2 left but one plant that i thought died because of the withering of almost all leaves, those gave me about 30g of bud. had little mold on the two big plants but not much, i lost maybe 4g to mold.

Gonna be posting pictures soon!

Cooler temps can bring out purple in a lot of strains. Did any of the buds turn or just the fan leaves?

Nice job on your first grow. What was the total yield? You are up in Norway right?

The buds didn't turn purple it was just the leaves. I have heard about cooler temps turning the buds purple but i didnt know the leaves would turn too.

Thanks sonar! my total yield was about 65g/2.3 oz

haha good guess but no, Finland is my place of business.
