Germination
3 years ago
Was always a fan or Northern Lights back in the day, hoping this has the buzz and flavor that I remember! Germinated the 1 seed by soaking for about 3 hours in a shot glass, then into paper towel. 48 hrs later and I have a 1cm tap root, planted into a 3 Gal. fabric pot w/ humidity dome. Medium is 80% FF Happy Frog soil and 20% perlite. Medium was pre-soaked with PH’d water including only Voodoo Juice.

Used paper towel method for germination, grew 1 cm taproot within 36 hrs. Planted, then sprouted after another 48 hrs. Medium is 80% FF happy frog soil, and 20% perlite. Will be only using foliar spray with cal-mag for the fist 4-6 days. Will start watering by the end of the week. Watered for the first time on day 5, with 200ml, will slowly increase volume over the next several weeks.

Beginning of week 2, and things are off to a smooth start! This will be a week of mostly root growth, but should start to see some real vegging by the end of the week. Up to watering volume of about 300ml and slowly moving up with each watering. Wait about 2-4 days in between to make sure medium is fully dry.

It’s now the beginning of week 3, and this one seems to be right around what I would expect at this point, if not just a couple days behind schedule. Hoping to top this week, but will see how much growth I get as I usually like to top autos before day 20. We’ll see how the week goes! ———————————————————————- Topped on day 19, just above the 4th node. Expecting it to bounce back soon. The next couple of weeks will be crucial.

It’s now the beginning of week 4. She took very well to topping, and bounced back quick considering I topped with the node slightly under-developed. Last watering was 750ml and will adjust up to 1L by the end of the week. Expecting a lot of growth this week, and will keep an eye out for pre-flowers! ———————————————————————— At day 27, still no signs of pre-flowers, so this one will have a nice long veg time. This actually is helpful seeing as I topped a little early. At this point just letting her bush up as much as possible before the stretch comes!

It’s now week 5 and this one is getting some nice extended veg time. Starting to form branch structure, and bushing up nicely. Still no signs of pre-flowers, but I’ll be keeping my eye out. Will be keeping nutes at their current level for now, to see how things go. I’m now watering 1L. Per watering.

Still no signs of flowering yet, but growth is picking up so I’m sure it’s right around the corner. I used some LST just on the 2 main tops, in order to even out the canopy. Once it starts the pre-flower stretch, I’ll let it do it’s thing! ———————————————————————— On day 40, I’m finally starting to see some pre-flowers. Will keep a close eye, but I expect this one to start her stretch soon!

It’s now the first week of flower, a little on the later side for autos, but not to worry. Everything is going steady, and she’s in the early flower stretch. Will be seeing decent day-by-growth now. Still holding off on bloom nutrients until the stretch slows down, will keep my eyes out for that.
