good luck, i will be watching this until the yield is posted, and just wondering, how come you choose NL, and not Blue berry x NL? that strain seems tasty doesnt it? anyways, stay neat and stealth!

titleist, could you post a couple more pics? I'm sure they haven't probably grown much but I wanted to see mine in comparison. Not sure how long I stunted my plants when I transplanted and that would give me a good idea. I am on Day 12 and you should be pretty close... I`ll post some more of mine later tonight.

OSCARMIYA: how come NL and not the Cross of blueberry and NL?

I think you meant to ask Titleist. Personally I don't know too much about genetics yet. My first real grow I just got going using bag seed only. As far as NL Vs. Blueberry x NL... shit if I had either, I wouldn't complain. Waiting to see those pics Titleist.

Well I chose Northern Lights and not a mix because it was my first real grow and I wanted to pick a plant with genetics that are very reliable, stable, and easy to work with.
If I ever decided to breed, Northern Lights would be my base. I have more pictures, and will post them soon.

Day 10
Well first road block as I tried to setup my 600W Metal Halide and Digital Ballast. The ballast doesn't work. So I called HTG Supply and they are sending me a new one. Not such a bad thing, because now they will have a few more days to veg under the fluorescents and when we load the MH they are going to explode.
On a side note, here are updates (pictures). Temperatures have been between 77-82 with humidity being raised to approximately 55% and then letting it fall to 35% before reloading the room (takes approximately 6-8 hours). I feel this way with the change in humidity/temperatures as well as a nice breeze on the girls they won't get used to their environment quite yet.
The girls were watered yesterday, with a pH balanced mixture of PURE DISTILLED WATER and Advanced Nutrients Barricade (0.3mL per 2L). The girls exploded when watered.
As you can see, all the girls are at least one inch tall at this point, with most starting their second set of leaves. Everything looks good! Will provide more pictures later!

There you go bro, I'll add some more also to give you an idea of size. I raised my lights today again, they are adding a quarter to half inch a day in size
.As I stated a few posts earlier, this specific Northern Lights strain appealed to me for many reasons. Dr. Atomic is Canadian, this strain of Northern Lights is proven, genetically strong and resilient, and has a very powerful smoke with low odor during growth. It also is a high yielder.
I will continue to add pictures.

Plant #1 is stretching to the roof. No idea why, but that bugger grows right into the lights no matter what.
More updates to come.

were the seeds fem's? and what the idea for the flowering room?
and...
when you find a female, you gonna throw her into the room or you gonna chop her down and make some lil female babies?

make sure you try the ballast in ab unch of different outlets. And on different circuits. WHen I got my 600 it didnt turn on. but I tried it in a different rooms outlet and it worked. 2 outlets it wont work in my apartment though. dont care and im not going to research "why" but make sure to try it a few times in different outlets / rooms. I almost brought mine back till I tried. I think its something to do with the grounding. but that is important with stuff like this, meaning dont dare try 3 - 2 prong adapters, or cheap extension cords.

Okay I'll go try plugging it in and see what happens at a different location. I tried it in more then one spot but I'll go mess around some more. They are already sending me a new one, so if it doesn't flick on at this location I know its not going to work. Thanks for the advice.
Seeds were not females. I figured I'll get about 5 females at least out of these 10 seeds, and I have no ambition to clone. I am all about experimenting with different strains, so I'm fine with letting them run their cycle and that is all.
Flower room will be switched to a 600W Argomax HPS. For veg, I'm going to switch it over to a 600W Growbright Metal Halide whenever the ballast starts working!
Thanks for dropping by.
No worries for me. I'm sure she'll smarten up!
On a side note, half the plants had their 2nd set of leaves popping out when I last checked. Will have more updates tomorrow.

Tried the ballast again at a different location, none of the sockets fired the ballast on. I was just checking to see if the fan would come on.
Do I need to have the bulb/socket plugged into the ballast to test if it works or not? After it wouldn't fire up in the first two rooms I tried it in, I was just plugging in the ballast to see if it fired up.
Anyway, they sent me a new one and I'll have it Saturday.

Thanks for posting those pics. Yours are pretty much the same as mine were on Day 10. One of mine was a lot more stretched at first also but when I transplanted I buried that one a little deeper. It still got taller than my others but once I moved it a couple inches more towards the lights- she stopped getting taller and started filling in the leaves(Now about 2" maybe 3" from lights Vs 6"). I am curious to see how your plants respond to the MH once you get it up and running. I`ll be checking back- glad this grow is so close to mine. Be a good comparison.

I appreciate the comments, do you like the big pictures in the post or the attached thumbnails?
I will have my new ballast by Saturday so I will definitely put pics up when its up.

hehe thought it was really funny cuz im growing the same thing and started 3 days after you. Lol but i only have a 400W HPS but i have a air purifier,heater that has a constant 77-78degrees. Fan is a must forsure. But i am at the same stage as you are. are u planning on cloning them?

I will have the new 600W Metal Halide up for 2-3 weeks of vegetation starting Saturday.
I have no plans on making clones, I enjoy trying the exotic strains so I will order seeds.
