The grow is now complete!! I took out the clippers yesterday and chopped her down! What a grow!! I am so impressed with how this plant performed. Overall definitely my most successful grow in terms of outcome meeting my expectations. Everything went exactly as planned and the results look very impressive. Now the hard part of drying and curing begins. It’s going to be a challenge to keep these fat buds from molding! Weight Update: after drying for 8 days and stems removed, the harvest weights in at 193 grams, 6.9 oz. I’m very happy with that. The organic plant is about 1 oz. The grow summary: vegged for 5 weeks and flowered for 69 days! Fed with General hydro nutes along the way, adjusting the feeding schedule as needed. I have to give a huge compliment to cocoforcannabis.com, as I followed the feeding schedule and methods that Dr. Coco has formulated (I can’t take any credit) and believe this was a big part of my success as his info seems to be spot on. I’ve posted a picture of his feeding schedule. The setup: The automatic watering system was a dream for the most part. Mixed 5 gallons of nutes every 5 - 7 days, dumped it in the bucked and the pump on a timer did its job. The pump would run be the run-off would drop down into a low profile, under bed storage bin. This worked really well, I scooped out any excess water as and when I needed. It also helped keep the humidity up towards the end. The pump started to struggle at the end because I never cleaned it, so this affected the flow at the very end, luckily it didn’t cause any harm to the plant. I flushed generously for 4 days hand watering until the run-off ppm was steadily 250 - 300, then didn’t give anything 3 days before the chop. The setup: the grow tent did what it needed to, the LED lights worked great (again), and my extraction fan and simple humidifier (fogger in a bucket of water with a fan) really helped keep the ideal conditions in the tent and could be adjusted with ease as the grow progressed. The medium: I have a new appreciation for coco/perlite mix. The difference in vegging time is undeniable that coco is very forgiving and much quicker than soil/peat mixes. I would love to figure out how to do organic nutes in coco on automatic watering cycle but that’s my next challenge. The experiment: I started this grow to compare growth in soil with organic nutes vs coco with regular nutes to compare outcome. In veg the coco was a much faster grower, leading to less training on the organic. The organic was significantly smaller than the reg. due to the fact I wanted to be as hands off as possible, with not mixing nutes every time I needed to water. This led to the organic performing way worse. It’s not a fair comparison in the end as the organic got much less attention than needed but same amount as regular. Conclusion: regular nutes work great and with auto system will perform well. Organic needs more attention to perform well with regular nute mixing and more monitoring on watering schedule. The plants: the Northern Light from Royal Queen Seeds performed beautifully. Very vigorous growth, quick flowering, not very demanding and easy to train. The smell was very light, which is what I needed after a few very skunky grows. There is definitely a nice floral smell to the plant but not the tell tale MJ/skunky smell. I didn’t notice how purple the leaves were until I chopped. I was always looking while the LED lights were on which hides the colour, so this was a cool surprise. The buds are so thick and heavy, tons of crystals and some neat purple showing in the bud. The initial trimming was very easy, it wasn’t too bushy so initial trim was a breeze. Had no issues with bud rot, everything went very smoothly, I did notice a few nanners here and there but nothing to be concerned about. Also saw some foxtails starting but in the end these just made the buds fatter!! After two days of hanging, wet weight is 689 grams, estimating trimmed dry yield around 4.5 oz! I could have flowered for another week to mature more. I saw a handful of Amber tricombs but this will spend a long time curing which will make up for it. Will 100% grow this strain again! By the looks of the buds, it’ll be a heavy yield so I might not need to grow again for quite a while (or I need more friends to share with)! Thank you for following along and reading this lengthy post. Cheers! The smoke: very easy smoke. The taste is musty and very kushy. Solid body buzz, nice and chill / relaxing feeling. Not much happening in my head that’s for sure! Great night time smoke

Grow Questions

Captain_7started grow question 5 years ago
How long of a flush is recommended? I’m thinking ph’d water starting at the beg. of 9 for one or two weeks. Is the aim to reduce nutes in the media (coco/perlite) or to filter the nutes from the buds? Any suggestions / tips as this is the first time using regular chem nutes

Hi Captain, I just finished harvesting my Northern in coco/perlite with the same nutes as you and it was a very nice grow. I started flushing at end of week 8 for 1 week with the initial flush of 6 gallons of pHed RO water, went from 1400ppm down to 190 and then 2 gallons of pHed RO water every 2 days. Went from 190 down to 50ppm at the end. I should have went one more week because she was still a healthy green when I chopped. But Trichomes were milky with some ambers. Take your time my friend. Happy harvest 😎

I’m late to the finish bro. 2 things - 1: this thing just crushes my run on this plant and I can’t wait to pop the beans I have left and give er another shot. Beautiful job man, seriously. 2: re - organic nutes on an auto cycle - I’m testing out biotabs on a purple haze in coco right now and that might be a perfect organic solution to the auto water problem you mentioned😉. Can’t give u deets on how biotabs measures up as a nute regimen but I be got a full set of it so should be able to see what the results are after a few grows. I’ve heard only good things. Again dude - freakn awesome👍👌🤘💪😎👊

@Captain_7, cheers dude - ain’t much say’n on it yet and it’s a bit of a “stoner special” grow. Had to make some changes to my cycles this year so everything is an absolute cluster fuck. That said - it’s be nice if the biotabs actually do their thing - then all u gotta worry about is plain water👍😉. Get this bitch in the DOTM dude - think ya got a winner here!!!

@TheBudWhisperer, thanks man. Appreciate the genuine comments. I’m going to have to check out your purple haze and these bio tabs. Cheers!

Looking beautiful! Great job! I have 2 Northern Lights bushes in flowering right now. Just started W4. Wonder how they will grow with a 250w HPS light compared to your 1000w LED. 😎 Let us know the dry weight of these beauties 😉 By any chance do you know the content of CBD in this strain? Some sources state its "Medium" and some less than 1%.

Captain_7
@@McMorris, thanks. I’m really happy with the outcome. I’ll follow your grow as I’ve come close to getting an hps for flowering. Will probably add one when I get my room built. Still waiting for these bad boys to dry out before I can get the dry weights. I’m guessing 4.5 oz. it’s been a week since harvest but the small buds aren’t snapping off the stems yet. As for CBD count I believe it’s pretty low / non-existent. Saw some lab results measuring up to 1% but many were 0.5%.

@TheBudWhisperer, thanks man. Yeah I’m feeling very lucky with this one. The nute schedule seems to be perfect and so far so good. Just waiting / trying to help her finish up now

Interested to see how she yields out. Especially under that 1000w. IME - the nl isn’t a huge producer (at least hasn’t been for me) but it’s just too good a strain to pass up. That said, I saw one dude on here who had an absolute monster harvest so fingers crossed for ya😉🤞👍

@TheBudWhisperer, yeah I’m interested to try the smoke more than anything, but of course want a decent yield! So far they are growing well and have got to the size I was expecting. Let’s hope they bloom well! Thanks for the comments!

Nice one! Why do you decide to switch for a HPS? 1000W is not doing its job? or you are expanding? 😃
