I am a newbe in growing weed and really excited about the journey I started. All 8 seeds sprouted withinvfew day and all look healthy until now. I gave them just a little tap water to keep them wet. I won’t be givon any fertiliters for the first week even though the soil is not prefertilised.
I am using Plagron’s Lightmix soil.
Have my finger crossed to for my newborn babies 😇
All 8 plants made it through the soil and are in a perfect health. It is obvious the plants in the center and nearest to the light source are developing first leaves faster. Thinking of buying a fan to provide extra air circulation
Started adding nutrients in my water solution, looking good so far😊
Plants are nicely growing and but I am changing their position every few days because I don't won't the central ones to grow faster than the others.
I also added a small oscillating fan from Secret Jardin.
Few days later brown spots appeared on leaves near to the fan so I moved the fan higher to prevent wind burn. (I found a possible reason on the internet and it proved to be right).
The plants are now in a flowering stage and small flowers started to appear.
I decided to LST them and built my own Scrog with the material I got purchased in a local gardening store. It was super cheap but looks pro
I love the plats until now:) 😇
I started LST using scrog technique for the first time. I made a screen on my own simply using a light ght wooden frame and a simple gardening wire. I am preatty satisfied with the results so far and the plants look astonishing.
It is a day one of the 6th week. I watered the plants and started adding B’cuzz Silic Boost. Also made some beautiful photos under a white light and I am really happy with the plats progress. 👍
Two days after watering and spraying with the fresh water added with vita race the plants are super gorgeous and they are growing in size acchieving 60 cm in height. Buda are getting bushier as well. 😻
I am a little worried by the fact that some of the plants tend to curl their leaves down just before the light turns off. After six hours of night plants look healthy again. Could that be connected to the distance between te lamp and the plant which is diminishing as the plants grow? Thanks for suggestions😊
It is a start of the 7th week and all eight plants are growing insanely fast, the tallest reached 80 cm in height. I made a little defoliation to let the light penetrate through the canopies for the lower buds. I started adding Green sensation to the nutrients mix and hopefully the results will be visible. Since the plant to the lower right is still smaller compared to others I bended her with plastic clamsp to get her near to the light source which is the center of the growbox.
Cannot be happier with the progress so far😇😇
Monday: It is the first day of week seven and buds are getting bushier every day.
Tuesday: I decided to make some proper photos under white light and the came out very nice. Small brown spots appeared on the top of the leaves, probably due to overfertilization so I decided to lower the nutrient value in my mix,
Thursday: Lower leaves started turning yellow and few of them fall off, probably it is Nitrogen deficiency but should be normal what I read on forums since the plants are in a deep flowering stage. New buds are appearing in the middle of stems which is wonderful! 👍
I started the week with watering the plants, new buds are developing nicely and they’ve got some mass since last week. I am a little worried for the plants at the edges of a groow room beacuse tey are still small and not as bushy as I hoped they would be.
Day two: Yesterday’s nut feed turns out to put extra fuel to the plants and buds grew in size significantly:) upper leaves got a little purplish color which looks amazing but I hope it is not some kind of deficiency 🤘
Day three: I thought centered plants were too near to the light source so I bended every plant in a way so the light would be evenly exposed to the whole growing area and I am happy with the results so far. Hopefully it will have a final effect for the harvest quantity😺💪
Day one, 10th week and a watering day filled with nutrients. Buds are nicely developing, hopefull the harvest will come in 2 week time👍
I am already thinking about my next growing project and already decided to put smaller amount of plants. Probably I'll start with 5 Royal Cheese Automatics.
I will try to utilize my ScROG better and won't leave main collas to get too high. Last but not least the tent will be upgraded with another 600 W LED light 😻 Please, let me know your thoughts.
It’s a beginning of the last week I will be addimg nutes and the plants are almost ready formthe harvest. Buds gained a lot of mass previous week and the smell from the tent is absolutely fantastic.
Do you recommend some special aditive to start flushing or would pure water with controlled Ph do the job?
Day two of the week: last nutrient feed and after that I will start watering the plants with pure water with a controlled ph for a week or so😻
Day three: I made a defoliation of lower branches leaving the energy for the buds at the top floors :) Soil is still moisty and I will wait a day or two before beginning with flushing. I finally decided to get Flawless finish and hopefully It will make a change at the very end. Some leaves already got yellowish colours and i believe it is the right time for the flushing. Looking really nice for now. ✋
Hey there @ReinDeer to put it simply you don't need anything special to flush your plant really just time and water that is PHed correctly. Flushing additives help break down the salt deposits so they flush easier and quicker. Some flushing additives such as Cannazym also break down dead plant material in the growing media. Long story short: you don't need anything special just PHed water and a week or two(two if you have a nutrient burn or lockout). Hope this helps friend! 😎
Once the buds are getting cured the smell and the aroma come to live.
The smoke is super smooth and tasty. It is not the strongest strain I’ve ever smoked but it leaves a great relaxed feeling to the body and the brain.
It was an incredible growing journey, where I gained a lot of knowledge, experience and a hard euphoric kick to grow more in the future😎. When I first saw the fully grown, mesmerizing buds, I was pleasantly surprised and without shame, proud of the harvest😊.
Here is something I came up under the influence of the beautiful plant:
,, now stored in the box,
set to cure
my jummy jummy buds,
I'm waiting for you
this said, 😆 when smoking her, I feel there is some more curing to be done, to bring the buds their full potential in taste and aroma. While enjoying it, even at this state, you can already sense her deep earthy pine flavour.
Sitting here, enjoying the fruits of my labour and swimming in ideas of how to describe what I'm feeling, I can fully assure you that the effects are stating this while stoned, AMAZING😮😸😍.
I'm relaxed yet inspired and once and for all convinced that all they say about Northern light is true.
After all this deep thinking about the tasteful strain, I would like to say I was absolutely shocked how well the automatic strain preformed. I achieved a final yield of 173 g with one 600W led light. Looking forward to start a new journey, this time more experienced and another LED light in the tent. Just to know Santa was very generous. (thanks babe since I know you're proofreading this😉000
I finally harvested my plants and I am so excited about the quality and quantity I acchieved. Now the buds are curing. However they are a little too dry, the humidity is now 53% and it is falling slowly. What would be the best solution?
hey there ReinDeer, congrats on the harvest my friend ! so one thing to remember about the cure is that it will end when the bud's humidity reaches 50%. Don't worry though, the "outside of the bud" humidity and the "inside of the bud" humidity are different actually, and the inside humidity is what is important and will be higher than the outside one. Commercial growers will break up the bud and have a special machine that can measure this precisely. What you can do if you think the humidity is too low is to burp or inspect the bud less often say every two or three days instead of every day the first two weeks, then once a week then next 3-4 weeks. Another thing you can do is the boveda packs 58 or 62 % . Some growers leave the stems in or add some fan leaves in there to keep the humidity up. I've seen some folks add orange or lemon peel in the jar aswell , but i'm too worried about contamination to do that myself ! in fact you're probably okay as it is, and boveda packs are probably your best solution, some folks say it could lead to loss of taste, but i've never had any problems at all with them ! anyway hope this helps ! 🚀

i just finished this and smoke one of the lower popcorn buds.. your 100% accurate on the taste. but the effects haha i got hit hard and fast for first 15 minutes i was hoping it would stop
hey there, hope i answered your questions, by the way the RQS blog from @james has a great curing article https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-top-tips-to-successfully-dry-and-cure-your-fresh-cannabis-buds-n682 hope this helps ! let me know if you have any more questions ! 🚀
Looking good, very curious how these girls will end up. I just germinated 1 Northern light and will share the dairy when enough pics can be shared. Great grow, thumbs up!
