Here's the northern lights fems in the little seed spa, and the clone from my last plant in the coffee can. I have 3 more northern lights fems started in those rooter plugs in the plastic tub. I'm gonna put the 3 in the seed spa and the clone in a 4 5 gal bucket configuration with 4 300 watt leds. The 3 I just started i'm gonna put in a single reservoir unit I just made with a 1000 watt led. See which way works best

Just reading through this and noticed you said you vegged them for x weeks.
Did you change light cycle? It being a lowrider hybrid it could have been an autoflower?
And did you flush it out with the last couple waters? Could be contributing to your taste problems.
Looks good though! On to the next one :D

Downside of growing "bag seeds" however it was all I had to go with. My seed source doesnt grow auto's, so that part I knew and that the lowrider was in the genetics.
I think it was really just being a week or so early and possibly some mutation due to the probable hermi source..
Buzz was just fine tho :-)

I'm pushing forward, upgraded and added another light and working out the airflow & temps...

Moscas - Rage OGK from DC Seed Exchange going now under 1 300 LED, added a second 300 but may sell it to a friend and just get a single higher power if heat is too much with 2 seperate lights.. 20180115_204651.jpg 20180116_180239.jpg

I've been trying to get my lighting upgrades worked out.. Thinking I may just go to a 600 W, tried 2 300's but a bit too warm. And my 1200W LED is too hot for the small tent.

Also wondering if just adding strips or some sort of supplimental LED's that wont create as much heat...

20180210_154104.jpg Coming along nicely here, switched over to a 600W, responding well to it..

A good ammount of stretch, on them but one seems to have slowed..

PS, ran full fox farm soil and nutes again. Grow big into week one of flower. Starting bloom big nutes next feeding.. Will probably add tiger bloom mid way through flowering

LST to try n keep a nice canopy.. Have most tops now between 10-15" from the light.

Started them on the bloom big this week.
Filling in nicely, the runt has a split stem down low and stretching past the others so had to HST a little..

The other 2 are going strong..

Discoloration on a few leaves, foliage watering with the light to close i think.
Its a couple leaves, the rest are fine so i assume its not a nute issues...

Still going here with the RAGE OGK under 600W LED
, got some nute burn unfortunately. Not sure where n when, did a flush and sticking with straight h20 for a few feedings.

Filling in and fattening up very nicely... And they are getting stinky n sticky...

Just gave them water, I let them tell me when they are thirsty so they have a little leaf droop here.

not being a smart ass its a nice grow but why did they not recover from the droop? I wonder because my thought was you intended to stop so it could feed off itself is that right because looks like its getting ready for harvest and I always have problem of when to

It recovered from the droop, they always do its just the plant needing water.

The yellow is from potassium deficiency, im feeding the best i can to keep it from getting worse.

Im about 2-3 weeks from harvest now. Had this issue before, bud comes out just fine. Just have to trim up damage..

Nice keep it up waiting till soil dry out b4 potassium boost right? hopefully it works out that should be some tasty nugget!!! Best medication in the world if not abused "grow forth and multiply"

Yes partially that, also they are starting to suck up h20 quicker. I was on a 3-4 day schedule, but its closer to 2-3 now.

I've managed to mess up plants even worse in the past and was still very happy with the buds in the end :-)

Will do a full grow/smoke report in a couple weeks.. Ran a gal through each a little over a week ago, and then one light watering after..
Let them go from there, leaves were wilting last night so I am letting them sit for 24 hour in dark and will be cutting down to start drying tonight...

Picked a couple lower buds last weekend to taste test, first J last night... There is nothing quite like the taste of fresh flower that hasnt even been cured...

This is my 4th time indoor.

Getting the hang of things, drying now, my one seemed to dry quicker than the others. It was the runt and had a split main stalk, buds were a but airy..
Just trimmed n jarred that one today to finish slow.
Still a bit soft in the middle and smells great when i squeeze them.
Smokes great too :bigjoint:

The other two are still hanging, feeling like another 36-48 hours..
