@eurorack, ya the Seedsman NL Auto was super easy. Grew fast and huge harvest for a single plant. It took all the nutes i gave it. Never once burnt the plant. Im sure with better light(s) this strain can pull 1 pound dry. Best of luck to ya my friend!
@Rizik86, I quite fancy growing the Seedsman strain of Northern Lights Auto sometime. Looking on Grow Diaries it looks to be one of the best growing versions. I've grown the Sensi Seeds version and it was quite a small plant.
I've got my own struggles with a Tall photo period pant in a small Tent right now.
@eurorack, TYVM bro! This was my first grow, so im extremely happy with what i came up with. I been trimming for days! Looks like final yield is gonna be over 3/4 pound. Im gonna start the next one in the next few days. Same strain and everything except im gonna probably top the plant or something as i cant really maintain a 5 footer lol. I knew autos was fast but it was done around 89 days from germination! I was expecting a 3 footer with an ounce or two.
@Seedsman, only issue i see now is im gonna need more seeds soon! Im probably gonna yield around half pound on this plant. I know i can do much better! Really im looking for a short height auto that yields good an tastes good. I didnt expect a 5+ footer and its too big for my area! I will probably always grow Seedsman NL Auto but im gonna have to top it or something to keep it smaller.
@kingaxle, Lol Ya it was my first plant so i just let it go with no training or topping. Drying and curing right now. Cant wait to see what i yield. Care to hazard a guess? Ive heard folks say 6 oz to 16 oz !!! Watching it dry. I think im gonna be under 16 for sure.
