Northern Lights, Purple Punch, AK Autos

Well, sad night bois and lady bois, the northern lights plant was lookin rough (like, extra rough, she’s looked rough for over a month) so I chopped her and figured I’d get as many of the dead leaves off and let her dry. As I was trimming the dead leaves I found some mold in a couple of the bigger buds. I figured she wasn’t worth the effort or risk so she’s compost now. I already have the seeds for my next run germinating — we’re gonna get real fruity with a sweet mango auto and a critical banana smoothie auto, but the once those start flowering I’m gonna give Northern Lights another shot in the attic tent now that the weather is cooling off. I’ve had a few great grows with Fastbuds genetics so I still gave her 8 stars, there’s no way to get an accurate measure of how good the strain was. This one was 100% user error, the combination of the new soil, new nutrients, new light, and new tent was just too much for this plant. The fastbuds AK auto from this run is curing up nice and are some of the best looking flowers I’ve ever grown. I gave the purple punch buds a thorough examination and as far as I can tell she’s clean. I think the dead leaves on the northern lights plant hanging around in those big buds was just begging for mold. Purple punch is getting her last watering tomorrow and going in the dark on Saturday for a couple of days before chopping her. I’m gonna get the tent thoroughly cleaned up before putting the new plants in. So ends the sad saga of my fried Northern Lights. Light one up in her memory.
