still had problems got Ph meter and my tap water has a ph of 7.8 to 8, with nutes its around 7.7, runoff was around the same value. Im thinking my soil wasn't buffering ph properly and high ph caused a lockout so fed plant with 6.5 ph'd water with nutes until run off was 6.5.

After using ph'd water plants have changed alot and seem so much healthier pics are 2 days after feeding. I think that because my ph is so high the soil is not able to bring it down maybe its the nutes im not sure but cant believe the difference in a few days. Plant at the back left side is amnesia auto the rest are NL

Started feeding plain water as they seem to be getting close to harvest and want to give them a flush. The leaves seem to be yellowing quite fast now ive stoped the nutes, i defoliated some of the dead or dying leaves and the plant didnt seem to get stressed at all.

Week 10. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

Unfortunately my phone is broke so i only have 1 pic at the moment i will update when i can. Great Strain to grow for a beginner. my highest yielding plant was 98g dried the others where all around 60-70g dried but space was limited and i think this had decreased my yield, u could yield alot more with this strain. The smoke is nice and relaxing happy high. Not the best for daytime if u have much to do as its very relaxing and its perfect to smoke in the evening before bed, defiantly one of my favourite night time smokes. Nice smooth taste and smells like pine.

Thank you for your advise and checking out my grow, lack of Space in my grow room has been a bit of an issue but im going to build a new room for the next run and will be adding an intake and the extra fans. Im going to be drying in a wardrobe with a low speed computer case fan running, temps are always between 17-25c and humidity 50%-65%. Going to cure the bud for a few weeks in jars, also brought some bovida 62% humidity packs. The northern lights smell great not really a strong smelling plant but when i squeeze the the bud its sticky and smells of pine with a hint of citrus/lemon smell, i think will be a nice smoke

Hi bro they are looking sexy , one thing you might want to try on your next go is increasing the air flow inside your grow , I have found that a small fan in two corners of the room seems to stop the leaf yellowing early 👍 Pull the dark brown leaves , they seem to come off in your hands anyway , gets more airflow as well It's going to be a lovely smoke , how you drying ?
