Day: 92
92 days from seed, dried and ready for the cure. Final dry weight is 89.12G! Smoked a good 10G along the way so can assume total harvest would’ve been almost exactly 100G of homegrown organic cannabis! For a first time grow I’ve definitely done a reasonably good job bringing all four plants to past the finishing line, partly down to me but more than likely more so down the the solid genetics of the three northern lights express autos from Phoenix Seeds and the one pineapple glue from Advanced Seeds. Either way I’ve got a good 2 months of smoke, just need to let it cure for at least a week, hopefully two weeks or more though If I can make it that long :D. What I would do differently next time around is as follows: *Check soil and water pH from the get-go, making sure to keep it in the range of 5.8-6.8 for strong and healthy growth and to avoid nutrient deficiency and if I do spot it to tackle it early on (pretty sure this stunted these ladies in terms of growth and yield) but I know now for next time.

Left in dark for 12 hours then chopped, trimmed and now hung to dry at about 50%rh. No signs of pests or mould throughout the entire grow so looks like I’ve been quite lucky and will have some nice fruits to smoke from all four specimens.

78 - last couple days now until the chop. I’m still not seeing many cloudy or really any amber trichs so hoping they come on soon. Will chop when they’re mostly cloudy.

Day 70 from sprout. Also the last pic is a small larf nug taken from the topped northern lights, dried for three days and smoked today. Needed a day or two longer drying and definitely a cure for taste and high. Also was premature I just wanted to try it out. All in all, this is the first bud I’ve harvested and smoked from my first ever grow.

55, soils testing at about 7ph on all 3 NLs now which is good. Hopefully they pull through and start looking a little better before they’re done!

Leaving to dry out a little now as have over watered in trying to correct ph. They haven’t gotten much worse though one is getting a little yellow but still looks good. I’ve lowered the light a good 20-30cm so it’s about 18 inches from canopy as I believe they’re in to full flower now and probably have about 30 days to go. Hopes are that they’ll bulk out in the coming week or two and so on.

There is a serious deficiency, I think it might be a combo of ph issue (tested 5-5.5ph) in all plants soils in past 2-3 weeks, I should have tested ph from the get-go but I didn’t I only tested from about week 4 on as I didn’t have a digital ph meter before hand thinking I would just get away with tap water and not testing but I was definitely wrong. I added peat moss to the biobizz allmix soil which has a ph of between 3.5 and 4 (which I didn’t realise or even think of) and that combined with allmix which I’m pretty sure is slightly acidic in the first place had made my medium very on the acidic side, probably at about 5 from the beginning until now. I’ve been trying to amend with 7ph waterings, using eco thrive neutralise to eliminate Chlorine from water and ph+ from biobizz to raise ph of watering solution to 7 to (hopefully) increase soil ph. I have tested the soil in each a day after adding dolomite lime to the mix and having watered the day before with 7ph solution, and today the ph in most of them is about 6 (between 5.5 and 6) hopefully in the next week or so I can get ph up to a good 6-6.5.

Finally added some dolomite lime and gave another 7ph watering to all 4, need to leave for at least 4 days now without water as they’ve had too much recently but I need to get the ph up to acceptable levels

Still watering with nutes at full strength, they’re fully into flower now, should start bulking out in the next few weeks. Added dehumidifier to keep RH under 60% if possible.

Defoliated some affected leaves on all three NLs due to possible low soil pH (5ish) and also possibly due to lack of calcium/magnesium. Watered with biobizz grow nutes.
