Northern Lights - Sad day :(

Just started to germinate seeds. Will update pictures and diary once seeds have sprouted. ===================================== ***Update 7/3/2018*** - The seeds have started to break soil. Should start to see true leaves pop up within the next several days.

7/9/2018 - Ahh the infamous northern lights. I have to say I’m particularly excited to grow this strain as it is a classic favorite of mine. I was a bit disappointed however when I found that out of the 3 seeds only one had germinated. Well hopefully it does well and I can take some clones from it later on.

***7/18/2018***- Looking good so far. Will be switching to larger containers in a week and putting them under 250w LED’s. There are some most interesting and unusual deformities going on with this plant. Hoping it will work itself out soon.

7/23/2018 - Plants are looking good. Finally have them under some stronger light. Transplanted them today into 1 gallon pots. Will probably take about 2 weeks before they are ready to move into 5 gallon pots. Noticed some deficiencies this week and gave them a small dose of nutrients. Learned a lot from the previous grow. Hoping to get better results from this grow!

7/28/2018 - These girls are really starting to shine! Close nodes and bushing out nicely. They had some lower leaves this week start to lighten in color hence the nutrient feeding. Thinking I’m gonna start doing a 1/4 - 1/2 dosage feeding once per week at this point. Currently they are in 1 gallon pots and loving it. Should be another week or so before they get switched to their final pots of 5 gallons! They are veging in a 4x4 tent but I purchased a larger tent for flower (4x8). Excited to see these girls really take off!

8/5/2018 - The plants have started to show their white pistils. They are starting to bush up and thicken out. I’ve been feeding them once a week now as the soil isn’t no longer providing enough nutrients to thrive. I will let them veg for about another week and then switch them to flower. I started using Terpinator this week and have noticed some fruity/floral aromas from the plants. Can’t wait to see how these gals bud.

8/9/2018 - All of these girls are doing great and have all shown their white pistils now! The branching on them has taken off and they responded to being topped really well. I’ve switched them from my 4x4 grow tent into a 4x8. I have to say it is significantly better having the extra space to be able to water, move around and for better air circulation with multiple fans. I also believe this will greatly help with light penetration inventory they bush out. I’ve been having issues keeping the daytime air temperature down due to the extream heat wave we have been experiencing. I think I have tackled this issue by running the lights at night now while the temperatures are cooler. Tomorrow is the official switch to flower and will be on a 13 hours off, 11 hours on light cycle for the next 2 days. Then on a normal 12/12 light cycle. IVE read that this can help the plants switch quicker. I’m looking forward to seeing the growth over the next few weeks!

Firstly I would like to say I am very disappointed with this seedbank. I purchased a 3 pack of 100% feminized seeds. Out of the pack that I purchased only 1 of the seeds germinated. And out of the one seed that germinated it ended up being a male plant. I tried to contact the company but that was a new headache in itself as it would not let me submit my complaint. I am not impressed at all and would not recommend this seedbank for their genetics.
