NorthernLights Windowsill Grow

JJPlantsExperimental Here we have 4 AutomaticPlants living on my windowsill. The grow is supposed to be an experiment to see how far you can get with low equipment and a small budget (€50)... For support, I'm using a 30W full-spectrum LED lamp during bad weather, as well as the starter kit from Hesi. The ladies sprouted on 19.5 (NL) and 20.5 (PB). I'm starting from week 3 since I wasn't sure if they would survive. They germinated using the tissue plate method, germination rate 100%. First, they were placed in Jiffys until they moved to their final pots in week 2; here I'm using organic potting soil from Cuxin with the specified fertilizers. Fertilizer is added every 2-3 days and hasn't caused any problems so far. The ladies get sunlight from around 6:30/7:00 AM to about 8:00/8:30 PM. In the pictures, you can see veg week 3 on 10.6. This weekend, if time allows, I will upload current photos and a report on it. Until then...

JJPlantsExperimental So....2 weeks later.... The plants have grown nicely, the Nl's have really taken off and are at 21.6, 1x 47 cm, 1x 48 cm, and 1x 35 cm tall, the PB is 36 cm tall and has entered the flowering stage since 18.6. All the plants look healthy and have no issues with pests or deficiencies/over-fertilization. The support lamp was used during the days it rained here for days and replaced a few hours of sunlight. Since 15.6 I've switched the TnT fertilizer to Phosphor Plus, Bloom Complex, and Booster, and I'm now fertilizing every 2-3 days. The smell is slowly increasing despite constant air circulation... Wooohooo :-) I'll try to upload a new report this weekend, this time with better pictures to keep you updated. Cheers, JJ

JJPlantsExperimental The ladies are growing healthy and according to the circumstances as before. I would love to report more, but right now it's a bit stressful and I hardly have any time. Until then ....

JJPlantsExperimental So after 2 weeks I've finally found some time again... A lot has happened during that time... But see for yourselves... We're now in the 9th week after germination. All the plants are doing well, except for Eva, who unfortunately got blown off the windowsill by a gust of wind and had to be partially harvested. The other plants are doing great and are full of juice and at the end of their flowering. I estimate that Mathilda (PurpleBud) will be harvested in about 4 days since her trichomes are almost all milky and I don't want her to be overripe. I'll give the others about 2 to a maximum of 3 weeks to continue blooming nicely. Now for the result of the "emergency harvest" When wet and trimmed, it was 42g still on the stem, after 6 days in the drying box it's currently 9g that have been curing in a jar for 5 days... After the first try (I just had to test if it's any good) I can say that even though it wasn't the right time to harvest, it still tastes pretty good and has a nice high, which surprised me quite a bit since I actually thought it wouldn't be very potent yet. So I wish everyone reading this a lot of fun and good growing...!
