Great strain with extreme potential! If you know what you are doing this a GREAT strain to get GREAT results, one of my 3 Northern Lights became a cripple and didn't do much that's why I replaced it but the others were great, probably just a bad seed nature is nature, things happen. Smells like your classic european weed earthy and some pine, nothing special but not bad either, a classic! Had to defoliate ALOT like every day up until mid/late flower but it was worth it. Super stress tolerant strain, did topping, twisting, bending, tied it down, cropping early, defoliating all the time, the charcoal filter inline fan dropped on them once by accident, some branches snapped and the plant didn't care, I tied them up and it grew more and more never noticed stunting whatsoever it continuously grew whatever I did to it.

Reviews. Nutrient
Did or did not do something, I don't know, would not recommend or advise against it.
Reviews. Lamp
Bad light spread for a 2x4 if you place it in the middle you only have a fraction of the light on the sides, 1000ppfd to 600ppfd or so when close. The solution would be to place it higher with more intensity to spread the output BUT if you plants go big and you can't give more distance you are fucked. 2 of these in a 2x4 and then dim it down would be a good option to increase efficiency due to cooler running and better light spread overall.
Reviews. Tent
Lacks bottom ducting holes, no option to add intake filtered air with a filter box for example. Other than that a solid tent.

Harvest date 08.12.23 - Day 91 from sprout. HI! My "first" proper grow, I raised some seedlings about 10 years ago and planted them on the side of a field and in the woods, I don't really count that, you do yours :) I just want to be transparent. It went better than expected, like a lot! Thanks to Hoocho on Youtube I got into hydroponics and NFT, I love NFT :D check him out! Did some veggies like salad, pak choi, spring onions etc. they got HUGE the pak choi was ~3x the size you see in the stores and tasted delicious, so at this point it was clear to me, when I grow weed it will be NFT even though almost nobody else does it, that made it even more appealing to me because I don't like to do things the way others do it :) I want to find my own way but that doesn't mean I don't take other growers lightly I study their work and pick what works best for me, a little here a little there and here I am now. Another youtuber I like to mention is Basementganja and his VERY well documented grows, and all the people on the Discord! check him out! I still wish I hadn't grown the Orion because it basically stole the Northern Lights some potential and yield. Also next time 2 plants in a 2x4 not 3! wasn't my brightest moment :D NL#1 yielded 1980g with stem and all, 985g after wet trimming. NL#2 yielded 1788g with stem and all, 1004g after wet trimming. I am not to picky with trimming, my buds don't need to look super good, I want them to taste and smell good + a good effect. I am really satisfied with the outcome, who couldn't be? The smell is kind of earthy and pine, a classic normal european weed smell I guess, not in a bad way but nothing to special, sometimes you just want your usual right? I could have lollipoped more to have bigger top kolas but you never stop learning :) I was kind of afraid to cut to much, but I don't mind smaller airy buds, put it trough the grinder and I bet nobody knows ๐Ÿ™€ My light was dimmed to "75%" measured 208W ~44 DLI for the most part of flower, did some 100% once in a while for a couple of hours. Had to defoliate ALOT like really ALOT almost every single day from mid veg up until mid/late flower that's why I rated it hard to grow, the rest went really easy. The fertilizer ratios I used are meant as RATIOS not exact 1ml etc. when it says 1ml A 1ml B it just means 50/50 until stated EC. I mix my dry salts 1kg/4l water to create a stock solution. I really hope the dry weight will be good, might hit the #1 spot for the RQS Auto Northern Light? One can dream huh :D Leave some comments, ask many questions!

Hello my friend, you can clearly see that the growers below do not know what a NFT system is XD I use ebb and flow myself. But I would refresh my nutrient solution for a last time and lower the EC to 1.5 to prevent further nutrient burning and a faster nutrient uptake. When you do not want to change your nutrients (and I would also not do this in the last weeks) then there is not much else that you can do. And my biggest issue is always the sneaky pH rising in my system. That is why I use Canna Aqua now. Problem solved but this is always a problem to keep an eye on! Goodluck mate!

To be fair many of those growing Orion on growdiaries are first-timers like me who got their seeds for free during promotion, so I wouldn't expect F1 uniformity here :) Great job! How much were you able to harvest? ๐Ÿ™

@einamio, so far I harvested 249g after a rough wet trim, that is about 2/3 of the plant, had to leave the rest because my Northern Lights are not ready yet and they are in the same tube, don't want it to rot in there :D When I compare the Orion in size/weight with the Northern Lights I expect a wet harvest of 1kg+ each.

@Sejanus21, I sure hope so :D the Orion is probably not going to yield as much but the Northern Lights will for sure :D
