Northern Lights is my jam!

Stinkfox Northern lights is my all time favorite strain. I have grown a few versions of it, from different seed companies. I’m always looking for a good seed company. I have their Northern Storm auto running, which looks really good, but I need to test the photoperiod too. Germinated in a cup of water and BIgfoot root stimulator 1/4tsp per gallon for two days. Planted in Happy Frog soil. Placed into a humidity dome with a heating mat underneath. Sprouted in one day. Here we go!

Stinkfox Coming along nicely. I transplanted to a bigger pot earlier in the week. I’ll be topping and transplanting soon. The leaves are pretty fat and rounded so far. Good sign.

Stinkfox Topped early this week. I’ll be transplanting before next post. Flowering in a few weeks.

Stinkfox I transplanted to a 2.5 gallon pot, with supersoil in the bottom, and Happy Frog in the top. I’ll flower in a few weeks. I removed a couple big fan leaves to open things up a bit.

Stinkfox I defoliated at the beginning of the week, and she’s bounced back completely. I’ll do it at least once more. I believe I’ll give this girl a bigger pot and let her veg couple weeks longer than the others. I’ve yet to have a Northern Lights photoperiod that stretched more than 6 inches or so after flipping to flower. So I will try to let her get as big as possible first.

Stinkfox Defoliated at the end of the week. Lather, rinse, repeat. I’ll keep doing so until I have a beast of many arms to put into the flower tent.

Stinkfox I went ahead and tossed her in the flower tent. I’ve got another one coming up a month behind, so I don’t need a huge yield. I mainly want to see if the smoke is what I want out of a NL. I’ll defoliate after 2.5 weeks of flower.

Stinkfox First week of flower down. I’ll defoliate after week 2. Just letting her stretch her little legs. I don’t anticipate much of it. Never had a NL that stretched more than 6 or 7 inches. The super soil should be about used up, being in such a small pot, so I’ll start additional nutrients this week.

Stinkfox She’s really 2.5 weeks into flower. I defoliated for the final time. Leaves became disgruntled, but I administered the proper nutrients, and all should be well. Now we just water and feed for a while.

Stinkfox Just cruising along, doing her thing. If these buds get to a decent size, I’m in for a treat. The internodal spacing is so short, there are buds everywhere. My other one is very different.

Stinkfox Cruising along. Halfway there. Can’t wait to see how this stacks up against other NL I’ve tried.

Stinkfox Packing on the frost. Pretty neutral smell. It’s the other ones that are straining the limits of my carbon filter. I have a new one coming in a day or two. Should start putting on mass now.

Stinkfox Getting bigger. Getting frostier. This one looks exactly like the 3 ILGM Northern Lights I grew last year. Very low odor. Getting closer to the end. Buds everywhere on this short, pudgy gal.

Stinkfox Buds are getting super frosty. I gave her some chaching eary this week. 2 weeks to go, perhaps. I wouldn’t mind some amber trichomes in my night time medicine. Plain water for the duration.

Stinkfox She’s bulking up pretty nicely. I’m willing to bet the dried buds will be like rocks. The branches are super short, but the buds are still weighing them down. I’m the most excited for this one. Smells just like I was hoping for. Another week or so to go. She’s just getting water.

Stinkfox Getting close. I’ll probably chop by Monday. I’ve sampled some early, and it’s awesome!

Stinkfox Harvesting any day. She’s faded out, and the buds are rock hard and dense. Trichomes are cloudy. The smell is mild and deliciously sweet. The larger buds are dragging their branches down.

Stinkfox I’ll definitely grow this one again. It’s every bit the Northern Lights I was hoping for. Good yields. Dense buds. Easy to grow. It wasn’t pretty, but that was because of the balancing act I had to play when my super soil ran out of juice, and I had to add nutrients.
