Hello My Friends Welcome to my Bush Lights diary,
Firstly thank you to Devine Seeds for letting me take part in the competition 😊
The seed popped within 12 hours so nice and fast.
This gal will be started indoors but will then be going out to hide in the same place i used last year in a disused drain pond which gets the sun for allot of the day. I will be experimenting with a Coco and Soil mix this year both from Canna, so a bit nervous as ive never tried using Coco before.
She will be going into a 5 gallon fabric pot and will be grown using organic nutrients.
Really looking forward to trying this version of Northern Lights and lets see what we can do 😊
Thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello my Friends,
Well we've had a crackin start with this gal, i gave the seed some great white in the hole and shes really taken off from sprouting.
I thought that the seed was quite fast to pop in 12hrs but this is also probably the fastest start i've had ever which is encouraging 😊
Leaves look nice and healthy and shes on her second set already, she seems happy with the substrate mix and i'm a happy daddy 😁
Thats all from me for now, thank you for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello Friends,
Well what a great week shes had, i've given this gal a shot of feed and some great white and this gals really shot up! She looks really happy and seems to be loving the soil coco mix, DLI is currently at 16 in the tent.
Shes been topped yesterday and shes gonna be a nice bush, i did think about fiming her but decided she might be a bit easier to control topping when she goes outside.
I want to get her a bit bigger before putting her out as currently snails are having a field day with my vegtables and she needs to be able survive any possible attack!
All in all a really good week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello Friends,
My gals had another good week, she had a shot of cal mag at the beginning of the week and a feed yesterday of the alga grow.
From her topping shes recovered nice and fast and the new shoots are developing well with good growth 😊
I was gonna put her out this week but the UK weather has been shite, im hoping this isn't how our summers gonna play out. Things are meant to be brightening up next week so il put her out then and do any further training in situ.
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello my Friends,
Well i put my gal out last week in her hidey hole and in true UK style the weathers been rubbish cloudy/rainy ,apart from today which has been nice and sunny 🤣
Shes had a slight issue of yellowing leaves and i dont think i fed enough in the coco mix im trialing, so ive doubled the dose and given her a shot of boost.
The lower two branches have been pinned down and outwards just so theyre not hugging the plant and are getting sun, my plan is to top again in a week or two with this one to start bushing her out.
Apart from the feeding issue the growth rate is good and im sute this gal will do as she should and stand up to the UK weather 😊
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello Friends,
Well my lovely gal has perked up nicely this week, shes definitely looking allot happier after the increase in feed and has put a good bit of growth on.
Weve had a few nice days of sunshine here in the UK but nights are still quite cool, but shes deffo been enjoying the sun 😊
Another feed was given a few days ago and ive also topped each of the four branches agaun to start her bushing out.
A good week and happy with this gal so far 😊
Thats all from, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello Friends,
Well its been a tough week for my gal, weve had a couple of days of torrential rain and high winds in true UK summertime style, the disused area shes in was filling with water and she is currently sitting just above the waterline.
Ive also screwed up and topped to late, she had got to tall and the branches were whipping in the wind badly, therefor ive clipped her back today. She has plenty of time to recover and should be more stout when she does 😊
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello Friends,
Well this gals recovered nicely from her haircut last week, weve had a nice few days of sun and things are starting to warm up here in the day and at night 😊
Shes just had a feed yesterday but new shoots are stormin on and she'll be allot better structure now, more stout more bush with plenty of time to put on height again.
Thats all from me for now, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hey Cannafam,
Well weve had a nice few days of sun this week and my gals not only bounced back from her hair cut shes gone nuts again. I never thought id have this problem but shes getting to big for hidey hole and ive had to top another couple of branches 🤣
Shes had another feed and hopefully il be able to keep her short enough not to be noticed 😊
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello Friends,
Well weve had a cold wet week here in the UK with torrential rain and strong winds, so just your normal UK summer weather 🤣
Im glad i chopped back when i did as shes stood up just fine to to the winds and is a good structure now.
Shes not had any feed this week due to being constantly saturated and is look a bit hungry in her new growth, but overall shes looking happy and healthy. Once again shes peeking over her hidey hole but i think im just gonna have to risk it!
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello Friends,
Well its been a mixed week here in the UK, weve had mainly rain again although the past two days shes had some nice sunshine. Ive topped another couple of branches again which were getting unruly.
Believe it or not this gal has not had a watering or feed now for about 3 weeks! Due to the rain the water in the pond has come up and i realised the other day that was drinking the pond water, it must have some nutritional value as shes looking happy enough 🤣
The weathers an improving picture over the following week so i should be able to feed her proper once she dries out a bit 😊
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hey Cannafam,
Well my NLs had good growth this week, she had a feed at the beginning of the week and then its been raining solid again so shes back to drinking pond water. Hopefully we'll get summer back soon as shes deffo hungry
Its hard to tell from the photos as shes in the recess and pictures are taken from above but shes getting big just under 5ft! Ive had to top again this week as i do want to try and keep her hidden and a moderate size so shes not spotted, first world problems i know 🤣
Shes also been munched on some of the lower tiers by pests but because of her size its not really an issue, as long as they got stoned and got eaten by bigger stuff after its fine 😊
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hey Cannafam,
Well this gal has put on a stretch this week and allot of growth and is about to start flowering 😁
The days are down to 15 hrs so im a little surprised as i thought it would start at about 14hrs but heyho at least i can stop topping her now and hopefully soon vertical growth slows down so i can keep her hidden as shes now big!
Shes not been fed yet this week as she was still drinking the pond water but weve had a few days of hot sunshine so shes nearly dried out and is not sittin on water anymore, il feed her tomorrow probably and start on flowering nutes 😊
Thats all from me this week thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello Friends,
Well a mixed week here in the UK, weve had a bit of rain, some cloudy days but also a few days of lovely sunshine and its been faily warm throughout.
My gals had a bit more growth this week but has largly stopped stretching now, ive managed to get a feed in her this week and flowering has begun 😊
Shes looking happy n healthy and is lovely formed bush, really happy with her structure and can't wait to see how her flowers develop!
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hey Cannafam,
Somethings had a proper go at my girl this week and shes got loads of tiny holes on her leaves, im not sure whats been eating her but for some reason its only on the newer growth on most branches, answers on a postcard.
Shes grown a bit more this week again weve had a couple days of rain but also some nice hot ones and shes generally loving life, a feed was administered yesterday and flowering is now started proper😊
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hey Cannafam,
Well its been another mixed week here in the UK with half days rain and half Sun. As we've had another fair bit of rain my gals gone unfed again but is still doing well.
Flowers are developing nicely and internodal spacing is quite short, i can tell that she will have tight buds once developed. Im slightly concerned as my other two grows outside have suffered rot this year, but if any strain can stand up to the UK weather its this one, Cmon you Lights!!!
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello Friends,
Well the days are getting shorter and last night i felt the first cooler air of autumn on its way, tempretures are getting lower.
The week here started again with rain on mass so again no feed, but weve had a nice couple of days of sun and shes nearly dry again so should be able to give her some tommorow.
Flowering continues and shes started bulking up a bit and now the frost is slowly coming in as well 😊
This gal is still looking good and is developing nicely, to say that she is low maintenance would be an understatement!
Thats all for now, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello Friends,
Well lets start with the bad and get it out the way first, theres been more rain here this week with little sun and after some examination yesterday i started cutting out rot. Shes lost one of her lower branches and the tops from two of her colas 😑 As i type this its currently raining with a bad weather system coming in for the next couple of days.
Now for some positive i did manage to get a feed to her earlier in the week, bud development is good and the smell has increased with lovely limonine coming through, i just need some divine intervention(pun intended) to get her through!
Thats all from me for now, thanks for stopping by🤞
Hey Peeps,
Sooooo after more continous rain this week i had been cutting rot out of this gal, after trying to control it every day a new branch showed signs of problems. After further inspection today and getting down with her i discovered all branches had rot and ive chopped and chucked the lot as i dont particularly want respiratory illness and thd buds were no where near mature.
I dont think il be winning the competition with this one, but thank you to anyone who has followed commented and thank you to divine seeds for lettingme take part ✌️
