First Grow Northern Lights
May 2020
On 4/29 I half germinated 3 seeds in a paper towel, transferred to pots two days later and put them in the grow tent at 24 hours of light a day. Today on 5/4/20 I put 2 more seeds in a glass filled with water I also put one of the freebie seeds directly in soil in a small container. Growing well 5/27/20 I’ve now topped 3 plants one I have completely mainlined one I mainlined but left on 2 extra grow areas and one I topped but didn’t defoliate. And one I haven’t done any manipulation to at this point

Harvest day. About 48 hours of darkness chopped down branch by branch. Took me 4 hours for the whole process. My hands hurt I’m tired I’m sweaty I’m gross but I’ve never had more fun with gardening. I love this process. And this is only the first of many.

I’m watering everyday I don’t know why they’re drying so fast and still a humidity problem. Too high. I raised the lights a good 4-6 inches. More light surface area. Flower day 15

These girls are getting huge and really showing their signs of producing flower it’s amazing. Did a good amount of trimming of lowers branches and leaves and moved the plants around in the tent so they grow more evenly. One plant is clearly smaller than the other and I have to assume it’s from the light. But now that I think of it. One of the seeds was different than the other three so that could just be the traits of the other strain. Either way this is all exciting. I am having a high humidity problem. I have a dehumidifier and I’m getting a lot of water from it. But still steady around 70%

I think today will be the last day of veg. If my dig timer works the light should shut off for the first time in 52 days. These babies will be in darkness for the first time ever. I hope I set the timer up right. I’ve been having difficulty figuring it out. Trimmed hopefully the last time. Spaced out the stems soon to be colas a little. And reorganized the plants in the tent.

Watered yesterday with nutrients

Day: 35
Still seriously training. Watered yesterday with just purified water. Went down at 7:30pm to check the girls and the one plant that just has been sick and not looking great for a while that I though I could leave unnoticed, I can no longer. It has worsen through just 8-10 hours. I researched and found very quickly that I definitely have a calcium deficiency. I’ve just been using purified water, with the occasional distilled water with nutrients without checking any PH levels. I’d say I’m about a quarter of the way through this grow. I may need to consider getting a PH tester. But for now the comag should arrive in a little under a week but honestly I don’t know if this plant will make it that long. If I have to sacrifice it and make clones from it, I will do so. This is my first grow

Did the final topping of these plants today. Fed/watered. Tied down, manifolded, and defoliate a bit. Making big progress. All that’s left to do now is be patient and let these babies mature without being dissected anymore.

A part of me is feeling like I’m doing too much to these plants. I keep breaking small leaves or branches. Also one plant closest to me on the left has intense leave curling in. I think it’s too close to the light

Smotpoker Last picture is showing a branch broke. Not all the way but majority of it. I may end up making this one like the rest with the typical mainlining technique
