First week on the nutrients and shes taken well to the 3.5L pot. No problems yet fingers crossed we wont run into any, was thinking about trying my hand at cloning this one in the future but i have next to no experience with taking clones but the best way to learn is to practice, any tips or tricks would be appreciated greatly. :)

running half strength nutrients now then going into full strength mid week. no troubles so far seems like i could be running a stronger nute mix earlier other than that she is growing well and is loving life. Happy Growing :)

A big thank you to everyone who is following and will keep you posted. happy growing <3

Once again a good week with no issues. Have changed over to my trusty old viparspectra as I'm thinking about flowering her in a few more weeks after I've done some clones. Everything is still fine in the nutrient department which is great because I usually have a lot of trouble with getting it right in that field. Am going to continue to trim leafs that are covering growth sites and train branches when necessary so i can get the most out of her only had one seed of this lady so want to do it well. Thanks everyone and happy growing <3

A lot of training and trimming this week. Still going strong and happy going to take some clones this week of the bottom branches hopefully all goes well, have been watching a lot of videos and it actually seems quite easy to do so fingers crossed with that. Have uped the nutrient level too was starting to notice a few leafs yellowing, so far shes liking the extra food and the node spacing is outstanding. Once she has fully recovered from cloning and bushed out a bit more i will flower her. Thanks again everyone and happy growing :)

well this week flew by and everything is doing great have uped the amount of water she gets to a liter per day I know its not much for a plant this size but i don't have a watering system so i'm trying to waste as little as possible i'm looking to build one soon I've been doing a bit of research on hydroponic and DWC systems just to make things a bit easier haven't taken clones yet but will get on to it this week. Thanks everyone and happy growing <3

Everything still happy and alive in the tent. starting to branch out a fair bit now had a flush mid week. the clones i took have all survived and have roots which I'm glad about the'll end up in a coco mix just to keep things simple. might keep the main plant as a mother I don't know yet we will see how things go, Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays and all of your plants are doing well . 👍

Still crusting along with the northern lights she is nice and healthy. the clones yellowed out a fair bit because they were only getting filtered water have started a nute cycle with them now so they should come back nice and healthy. will probably end up flowering the clones and keeping the main girl as a mother depending on how they turn out i might keep her for as long as i can. Hope everyone is having good holidays and has a happy new year to all thanks again and happy growing <3 👍

Well its decided its going to stay a mother and will be keeping her for as long as i can the clones have put their first set of new leafs out and have been potted into coco perlite and vermiculite and will flower when they are 2 or so months old i know this has been a long process but i am in no rush and am enjoying the learning that comes with it and also am happy that all four of the clones have lived. Happy new year to all and as always happy growing <3

had a bit of a problem this week some sort of bug got into the tent and laid eggs i'm thinking a moth or something and they hatched into tiny larvae and stated to eat my leafs so i've been hosing them down with fresh water once or twice a day to see if i can blast em off that way caught em early so hopefully they will be easy to control has anyone else ran into this would be interested know other than that the clones are fully established now and are absolutely loving life will top them this week to get em prepped for flower and will start a separate diary for them. once again thank you all for following along the support is greatly appreciated. Happy growing <3

@The_Projexx thanks heaps bud going top in one or two weeks time then it will bush this one out a bit. 👌
Junglepaws
Junglepawscommented6 years ago
@ValhallasGarde, personally I prefer to top my plants they seem to bounce back quicker and i can get the evenness i like to have with the tops. just keep in mind that in general they are pretty hearty plants so try new things every once and a while just to see what happens

The_Projexxcommented6 years ago
@Junglepaws, id like to try that but im scared lol

@The_Projexx fimming has some interesting results tried it on an outdoor plant of mine a few seasons ago and it shot off 4 new main branches from the site where id fimmed her, was crazy to watch!!

Looking amazing so far! Only suggestion would be 2ml or so of cal mag for those light green edges on your leafs

The_Projexxcommented6 years ago
@Junglepaws, yeah buddddy ! lol they are doing well I'm excited to see what the future holds for these young ladys
Junglepaws
Junglepawscommented6 years ago
@The_Projexx, thanks bud that's pretty much what i did for the week had my base nute strength at 550ppm then with the cal/mag it bumped it up to 600ppm so all safe levels for young plants . Your girls have taken off man great stuff!!
The_Projexx
The_Projexxcommented6 years ago
@Junglepaws, its looking good brother but i would slow up on the nuts leave them the same strength they are now and add cal mag , because when you add the CalMg its going to add ppm to your water and if you add full strength nutes depending on the water's ppm your going to go over board and cause problems , Remember bro less is more that's the way i look at it .

@The_Projexx, Thanks mate shes me healthiest plant so far n yeah she's an old girl i was trying to decide weather or not to flower her but i made the decision that shes going to be a mother and throw me some nice clones so i can keep the strain going as i only had one seed of this wonderful strain so we will see how she goes. thanks for the support bud and hope all is well in your garden too 👍

Those are some thick knuckled formed at the split. Looks like shes setting up to become huge on you 😎

@HighTV, I'm hoping so. With the right training i think shell do well the inter nodal spacing is very tight👍
