Nice and strong lady, somfar she seems to like medium. This is first time I'm using this soil. Rh around 75-80%, and temperature 27°. Next week I'll add some enzymes for better absorption. Whole this grow mostly I will go with Plagron.

Second week also without some issues. I added pure zyme to solution for faster absorption of minerals, as soil is pre-fertilized. I went for a quick start of lst just to see how plant will react.

She seems to react quite well for lst. Not stunned, started to grow from internodes right away. I keep her very low to the ground. Little drop in rh to about 70%, as some serious roots must be already produced

Everything well until day 26. During lst i broke the main stem with 5 new grow points. What a shame. I angry at myself, as i could wait few more hours for stem to soften a bit. Rh 65% temperature 27° Still only water with root agent, and enzymes. Soil is heavy in nutrients, as i can see some lock, and only root agent is present. Enzymes didn't rise ec

She's recovering after I accidentally broke get. Didn't stop in growth, but i removed 5 growth points, and now she will definitely yield less. What a shame as she was most vigorous from this grow

She is the smallest of them all, but still most healthy and vigorous. It looks like she will have just few main colas, hopefully frosty and packed. I started to add terpinator, and sugar royal for better taste and smell. Rh about 55%, temperature up to 27°C.

Week 9. Getting closer to the end, nice size of buds, and the smell is overwhelming. Colas are getting bigger, and more frosty. Easily can see, she will produce some serious amount of trichomes until the end. Discoloration of leaves is spreading, will try to drop temperature, luckily outside is getting cooler. Rh around 50%, temperature 25°C.

Week 10 welcomed with some feeding. She gets some food every Sunday now. Delicious terpenes starts to show off, definitely, pine and fruity. Hairs slowly changes colours, and she is fattening everyday now. Definitely van stand highest ec from the pack in grow together with her. Humidity around 50%, temperature 25°c during the day. Good that I have dehumidifier cause it's raining for last few days, and rh at home is around 60 %. Day 68. Autumn started, yellowing is taking place i more parts of plants. Starts to smell really strong. Scent is overwhelming when sniffed from close, packed with terpenes. Food that I give her seems to do good work for her. Trichomes present also on fan leaves. Oh can't wait to try her.

Final week! She looks stunning. Lost all the chlorophyll. Buds are fattening, and Smell like whole pine forest. Loaded with trichomes. Another time I am pleased about northern from RQS. Shame that I broke her in weg, she would be much bigger, but hey anyway looks nice and juicy.

Week 12. She is getting very close to finish. Most trichomes are milky. She smells fantastic, almost no leaves left. It will be pleasure to trim her. I'm expecting to cut her down in 2-3 days. Temperature outside is close to zero so I can manipulate a bit more, and during the night she is in 16°C, i plan to drop to 14. Humidity no more than 40%.

Just cut her down. She grew very nice despite I broke her during veg. She lost some yield. Although colas are very dense, and sticky. Smells like pine forest, very intense and everwhelming. High amount of trichomes, and not a lot of leaves. Very nice growing experience. I have already bought more seeds of this strain. So more will come.
