This is growdiaries grow 13. This grow is going to consist of 4 plants grown in biobizz lite mix. Each plant will have there separate diary. The plan is to start this grow in my secret jardin ds60 under my mars hydro ts1000 light and as soon as my gorilla tent with the Viparspectra xs2000 and wilma system is empty I can move these into it and use the wilma system to auto feed eventually. They should be under the xs2000 before they finish there veg cycle.
I had chosen 3 strains at 1st for this grow. Fastbuds westcoast o.g, FBT 2205. The other 2 spots are/where from my prize a few month ago from female seeds WW*BB auto. But 3 days after the 2 fasbuds had popped up there was still no sign of the WW*BB so i dug them up and put them back into the paper towl to continue germination, I also put another 2 WW*BB seeds in paper towl to germinate to double my chances and I thought I'd put a fastbuds in as well just incase. So I picked the northern lights. Low and behold the northen lights tap root showed and I decided to use that and wait to see if any of the female seeds actual germinate.
Hopefully back in a week.
Take it easy.
Now all 4 strains have reached 7 days I will start the diaries off properly. Because WW*BB took an eternity to germinate the FBT 2205 and west coast o.g are 7 days ahead of this replacement strain.
As you can see this strain is a northen lights so should be a simple grow.
She is in the Ds60 tent under the mars hydro Ts1000 set at about 35% power. She was getting about 140 PPFD around 10 DLI this week.
She has been getting 50ml of above solution from day 1 every other day. As far as the 1st week has gone she is where I would expect her to be at.

I have started training Northern lights this week. She was still in the secret jardin ds60 tent under the mars hydro ts1000 until day 26 where the grow got moved to the gorilla grow tent under the Viparspectra Xs2000. I'm glad I went back to soil for this grow as the whole grow already looks 10 times better then my hydroton grow. She is now getting 280ppfd 20.2Dli under the Xs2000.

This Northern lights has been a real pleasure to grow but it probably needs a little bit longer then i have allocated and is now I'm going to start the final stages for harvest. The trichomes aren't quite there yet but given another week to 10 days they will be close enough.

The northern lights is going to go a little longer then I had planned, was hoping to have her down by day 90 but she will benefit from a few more days. Unfortunately my next grow has outcrowded this plant so she is back in the ds60 under the TS1000 with the white widow*big bud.
Notes.

Day 87 manually water moved to ds60
Day 88 manually watered
Day 89 nothing

This is the last weekly update for the Northern lights. She has been in the ds60 under the TS1000 but the ww*bb was blocking most the light from her. Been real pleased with this one.
Back shorty with harvest.
Take it easy.
Because my last grow was going tits up in hydroton I got this one going in a spare tent under the mars ts1000 using soil. 2 grows in a row I have struggled in hydroton so I thought go back to old dependable soil. Been a number of years since I done any indoor soil grows. Northern lights was started a little later then the others as she was thrown into the soil because a white widow cross wasn't germinating. She really grew like a champ. Nice height with a bit of training, no real problems along the way. I managed to get her in the main tent under the Viparspectra xs2000 just as she started flowering. She went from seed to harvest in 96 days. I could have left her for a little longer but needed the tent again. So glad I picked this strain as my backup strain.
Trim jail took a little longer on this one but was an easy trim. I'm looking forward to having some as its been a while since I had northern lights.
Back with a smoke report soon.
Take it easy.
@JamMAKEcan, only had a little sample and it was a bit of a creeper, didn't couch lock me but it was one of them where I thought it wasn't that strong then it hit me.
Nice job, you've got some really nice snaps there! Thanks so much for making this diary!
We really hope that you had a nice time growing our Northern Lights
Enjoy the harvest :)
