First grow - Stealth cab Led - Northern Lights

Good to see the plants have recovered and growing healthy now! Keep it up!!!

42 days - 6th day of flower.

Just a quick update, have went with a light bloom feed for now and will most likely stick with it for next 2 weeks before going a little stronger bloom. I have managed to lst a little more and now have a nice round and flat canopy.

What seed bank did there come from? Looks exactly like my vision northern lights grow i have going now! dont worry man your early in flower.......soon they will double in size some times even triple

Sub'd. the thing is huge. Good job

Came from Gorilla seedbank and it is also Vision northernlights. The whole 5 week veg it stayed really small and extremely bushy and made lst quite difficult because there wasnt enough space between nodes to grab hold for lst. It is only tied down in 2 places at the moment the rest of the canopy has just been tucked quite neatly to expose all the bush in middle to light.

45 Days - 8th day of flower

This little one really takes a bit of tucking each day, Just uploading pics nothing to add.


Home sweet home

Day 50 - 13th day of flower

No change just a little growth and is a nice height in cab for now. She really is a bush and if i was a little more experienced i would consider defoiling a little but i think i will just ride it out and see how it goes. Just been doing a little lst along with tucking to keep her down so far. No other problems that i have noticed.

Wow, my NL was nothing like that. It was pure indica looking and single cola plants finished shorter than my topped Dutch Treats (hybrid)

Well i have spent a few hours reading to defoil or not to defoil threads and i think im gonna stick with the not to defoil method. I mean no harm to the defoilers (Noticed this kind of chat causes massive arguments lol) But just gonna ride it out naturally.

Day 55 - 18th day of flower

So buds are starting to form up and i have spent the last couple of days trying to tuck my way to getting the light to them equally but i was not having much luck and just went back to basics and got alot more lst done and have opened her up pretty nicely. There have been no problems at all just watering away happily once a day at lights on. I will say that at this stage of the grow i really look forward to opening up the cab each day to see my girl. So glad to have finally joined so many of you and potted up. Anyway.........As you'll see from my new pics compared to old i have got alot more bud sites opened up to light, really pleased with how much i was able to spread her out.

Day 59 - 22nd of flower

I am curious if i should be upping my nutes but due to not having any problems or sign of any i just havent meddled with it, mostly due to the burn i gave the poor girl early on. I only mix 1 gallon of water at a time and it feeds for 3/4 days and using the GH trio of which i use.......
2ml Micro
0.5ml Gro
3ml Bloom
Ph i let jump between 6 and 6.2 and my run off is normally about 5.9. I havent grabbed a ppm meter which i really should get at some point.

But i am at the stage of just cruising now and not much happening to really report on but i always enjoyed reading journals with regular updated pics so just a pic of a bud early in life.

Any suggestions on sites to upload pics on as i seem to have been blocked from the one i was using for "Suspicious Activity" lol.

I have increased my bloom feed by 2ml to 5ml and left the micro and grow the same at 2ml and 0.5. Hopefully will not cause any harm.

Day 65 - 30th of Flower

Pretty much just a picture update againas everything is going sweet, few older fan leaves starting to die but everything else is going fine.



This is the actual top which is looking the most beefy of the sites.


And i am wondering if i should maybe strip these bud sites off at very bottom of plant or just let them go? , Are they a waste of energy which could be going to buds at top?

I would remove them. And any upper leaves that are blocking other buds.

To be honest i have been mulling over to pull leaves or not to pull and with it being a first grow there is so much debate on good and bad for it. Alot of the pics i see of defoiling the leaves at the top of the bud have been left and the way this plant is, it is those leaves that are blocking everything out below. I have done alot of reading on both methods but my confidence on a first grow to do anything major is a little low. I am quite a patient person so have not really rushed in at any point other than once at the begining and have pretty much left it be since, If anything i think i was a little slow in upping my nutes but whats done is done.

Ya I hear Ya. Then just tuck the leaves that are blocking the buds instead of cutting them. Tucking is no stress to the plant. It looked like from the top down view some buds are being shaded .

I've cut too much off before so if you do start, start slow. I also was slow to up my nutes as I burned it very early. It's all learning a curve.

Your plant does look great though!

Well most ppl thought that i should defoil a little and although not to confident i went ahead and stripped a few but not to many and yet again changed my lst in a few places. So i hope you can see the difference and hopefully get some more light to penetrate through.

That looks great!
A helpful tip with tucking stubborn leaves; if you rub the stem of the leaf it will make it more pliable for easier tucking.

Peace

I'll take you up on that, I do alot of tucking just to find a few hours later they have sneaked there way back out to soak up the light. I'll try it when its light on today and hopefully helps.
