Mt.Rainier (NL#5 x White Lotus)Autumn’19

This was an amazing experience being a complete noob to growing picking up knowledge and the gear I needed as I went with the grow, i wanted my first grow to be a tester grow with some old seed I had from a few years back so it wouldn’t be much of a loss if I botched the whole thing, i went with bare bones nutrients feeding only Alaska fish fertilizer throughout the whole veg process and switching to General Hydroponics Florabloom for flowering, i damn near drowned them around week 3 after reading about feeding from the bottom lol, i thought they were goners for a bit there but they persevered and came back strong and gave me a nice pile of top quality bud in the end. They were flushed for a week and a half and then left in pure dark for 3 days at the end before they were all cut, trimmed and hung to dry in a room with controlled humidity at 55% which took them roughly 10 days to dry enough to be jarred, day after jarring I found the bud was too damp still so i dumped all the buds into a box for an additional 2 days of drying which got them where they needed to be for curing. Cured for 3 weeks with daily burping while of course having some tester nugs weekly to see how they changed, it was never harsh smoke even days after being cut so I knew it would be really nice when cured. Still enjoying my original grow stash almost 5 months later and I must say the buds are still improving although the taste and cure was excellent around the 3 week-1 month point, been one helluva adventure and great learning experience growing this beautiful plant, For a first time grow i couldn’t be more happy and can’t wait to see what I can do with more experience and knowledge in the future. Happy Growing!!!
