Nov. 12 - start of week 7 and it’s been busy. HAd to clip a few leaves out of er to expose some more bud sites. Been tying er back every other day and growth has really picked up. She’ll be ready to go as soon as her kush neighbour is recovered👍. All is well peeps and thanks for swingn in👊 Nov. 17 update - not much to report. ANother lst session to keep spreading her out. Looks like these girls are gonna fill up the cabinet well. Really happy with how she’s developed. NOW biding our time to the switch. Background This one is gonna be fimmed out and defo’d as a comparative to its manifolded kush sister. They’ll spend a first week or so under a cfl assembly while the last harvest dries out in the cabinet. This is our 2nd grow of an NL strain and this one should be typical of NL in terms of resilience. That said, she’s a former cup winner so we’re hopeful for supreme quality this time around. 👍 Gonna jack up the nute shed. and supplements heavy throughout the grow in the hopes of really testing the limits of my grow space (approx. 2sq/ft). With the coco medium we’re hoping for that 20% bump in yield as well. THANKS for check'n er out

10/17 UPDATE - finally! Today marks the end of prohibition in this country and the cultivation and use of cannabis is a legal right enjoyed by all who choose. Now the hard work of removing 95 years of stigma begins. TO ALL my Canuck growers - righteous! To all those still fighting for the same elsewhere - stay strong and diligent! THE REST of the world will eventually catch up to you! Happy 10/17 y’all!!! 😉👊👍😎✌️

@@TheWeedMan, lol give me like another 3ish months and I should know a whole lot more. I’m not so sure - I could see a manifold (if you have the head room) being just as effective as a scrog. Well see😎. And No one would blame you for adding another tent in the interim 😉. Lol
TheWeedMan
TheWeedMan
@TheBudWhisperer, lmao bro I’m baked as fuck too. Ate a potent homemade brownie and vaped some GSC.. I’m in a great place right now. Right there with ya 👊🏻 I enjoy autos for a quick turn around and a AAA+ Grade product from what I’ve seen with fastbuds. I’m very tempted to get some Royal Gorilla and do a SCRoG with that.. I built a 3.5’x3.5’ scrog net haven’t yet utilized it .. it’s a damn shame 😢 might need to set up another tent .. hmm lol. I think scrog is def the way to go for highest yield
TheBudWhisperer
TheBudWhisperer
@@TheWeedMan, I haven’t tried fast buds yet (super interesting though) but have done a number of auto runs in my cabinet previously. I’m now test running grow methods to see which yields more for my space and square footage. Leaning more towards photos for the flexibility and what I think is gonna be scrog as the most efficient (not really possible with autos). Honestly - we’re not exactly hard up for high quality ganja both in variety and quantity😉 so the extra time it takes really isn’t a consideration. That said, if my scrog diary places this month in DOTM - you better believe that the GSC from autoseeds is part of my next run for sure - and that’s saying a lot with the options I have right now.👍😉😎 oh that is so goddamn great to be able to say! Lol #stoned lol

Nice I also started one RQS Northern Light Automatic , my second try on autos Wish you good 🍀

@Black_Magic, taste is earthy/piney and the strain and effects are fantastic. Not necessarily “blow your socks off” like some indicas but a very relaxing and medicating high. I use it for chill out sessions and relief of minor aches and pains.👍

Very dope - looking forward to learning from your logs. Ovbiously an experienced grower - you have any baseline advice for a noobie?

@cabinriver, yeah dude that’s the natural progression and having good nutes and regulated ph is all that most people need. Good luck with it dude and I’ll keep an eye out for the next cycle😉👊👊

@TheBudWhisperer, Will do. That's about the stage I'm in right now. Looking to add to my process (ph monitoring, cannabis specific nutrient diet and all) next time.
TheBudWhisperer
TheBudWhisperer
@cabinriver, oh buddy - it’s a huge topic and you’d need to be a little more specific. I usually tell people to start simple - tune out all the other shit and plant a seed, add water, harvest plants, smoke buds👍. Not being sarcastic here either - that is the baseline. Understand how the plant grows naturally and go from there. Reach out ANY time you need input on anything else as your growing. This forum is excellent for that and I’m happy to pay it forward👍. Thanks for the kind words dude👊

Haha love the pickerel and walleye comment. Also never noticed that it’s Northern Light! That’s messing me up now! I’ve got some northern lights just starting out so I might hit you up with some questions if needed. Congrats on the harvest. Cheers!

The flowering nodes on your plants look to be absolutely amazing. You've done such an amazing job with this grow so far and I'm so excited to see how these plants finish up as well as to hear how they smoke. Best wishes my friend :D
TheBudWhisperer
TheBudWhisperer
@SensiSmellYahLater, kind words and thanks a bunch dude! It’s northern lights (an RQS cup winner too) so I can guarantee a solid indica body stone. This strain has always been super easy and resilient so I’d say it’s not so much me as it is the plant dude. Do appreciate that though, cheers!👊

TOTEM
TOTEMweek 7
I totally missed this. I love the way you’re documenting bro 🤩 very damn good job as for now! Keep rocking like this, and you’ll definitely win some prices! Just a curiosity: since she’s not growing that much, have you wondered what would happen if you increased light distance to 70, or even 80cm? Just my curiosity because she’s really short and it seems like she’s a bit lazy because she already has all the light she needs. But if you increase it a bit, maybe...... let me know! 😜💪
TheBudWhisperer
TheBudWhisperer
@TOTEM, cheers buddy. Tryn to keep it interesting! 👊 The stat is a little misleading as I measure based on her lst’d Height (which changes up and down each week based on what I want her to do). I’ll try to get a better view of the training on her main stalk - she’s kinda coiled like a snake around the side of the pot. Without training, she’s prob. 12-16 inches high. In my experience NL strains are typically pretty squat plants to begin with but it’s been planned like this to work in conjunction with her manifolded kush neighbour😉. She’s bushing the way I’d expect but took longer to recover than expected from the fimming. All told and if this goes to plan - she should double in height (assuming limited lst) over the next 2 weeks and I’m hoping to be left with a rough final height of about 24” total at the end of flower. That’s about the limit of my grow space in terms of height when you include for appropriate light spacing. Until I get the green light from the wife to turn half the basement into a grow tent - I’m stuck admiring everyone else’s! All good - we easily keep ourselves in the smoke with what we got here👍. Thanks for checkn it out bro. The feedback and input is always appreciated👊!

@Black_Magic, hey dude - musta missed this. You said u fimmed one of yours? Which plant and what week? I’ll take a look.
BeefWellingtons
BeefWellingtonsweek 3
When are you going to fim her? I'm asking cause I want to fim mine as well but she's a little behind your growth. Are you doing it when 4th node appears?
TheBudWhisperer
TheBudWhisperer
@BeefWellingtons, think so dude. I'm not waiting much past the 4th node. Once I get a little bit of Stem showing between the 3rd and 4th node and I have something to grab onto, she's gettn the pinch. Keep in mind I'll be doing this a little different than most people too. Read from @dudegrowsweed uses a less destructive method where u just crush the growth tip in your fingers and don't remove any of the growth at all. That's how im doing this one too in an effort to minimize stress to the plant as much as possible (and try something new). Hit me back if any questions and I'll keep an eye on yours as well homie😉👊

@MovingOn, well congrats! Not sure how I missed it as I usually review the monthly winners for interests sake. Nice!👌. Got me some blue dream in the lineup that I’m hoping to be similar to that (Humboldt seed co. Too👌). And I’m throwing this one for the NL in to the Feb. DOTM and leaving the kush another 10 days to next month once I have full cure details. Fields DEEP this month so doubt she’ll contend but worth a shot anyway. I’m banking on the kush though cuz I can’t put out a better explanation of a grow than that. Well see dude, thanks for the support👊

@TheBudWhisperer, that Blueberry Kush I grew is going to be a repeat for me as well, everybody here at home is like, "wow, that's some good shit." The aroma is one of a kind, even better than a standard Blueberry in my opinion. It got 6th in January's diary of the month too! 😊 Which was a complete surprise to me, they must have liked the info since I tried to be thorough. I bet you're CK journal would be a good contender for February, you do well in your descriptions throughout the grow, and I think the judges really appreciate that. I'd vote for it! That's what I hear too about the Critical Kush - that it is a strong bushy yielder, especially for the squat size they usually tend to be. I'm not surprised it wanted to crowd out your NL.
