Spring 2025 Organic BlackSabbath96

Blacksabbath96 I sprouted a Granny Candy feminized seed about a week after the NL5 because the 4th Northern Lights seed didn’t germinate. I wanted a better chance of having at least 2 female plants. Great growth early on. Just watering them occasionally with a solo cup of dechlorinated water

Blacksabbath96 Transplanted to 1 gallon. The pictures are from March 23 and 27 2025. The Northern Lights #5 babies are showing their indica lineage with broad leaves and tight node spacing, while the granny candy tries to slowly catch up. I found out that at least one of my NL5 plants is female because of preflowers with pistils appearing.

Blacksabbath96 Starting lst on the confirmed female. It was interesting that the first known female plant was also the tallest. Not much else changed

Blacksabbath96 Found female preflowers on the NL #5 in the middle. Found male preflowers on the one in the back. I started to LST the Granny Candy as well.

Blacksabbath96 Transplanted both of my female Northern Lights #5 to 15 gallon fabric pots of Coast of Maine soil from the previous runs. Had to buy soil for the Granny Candy which had to wait another week for transplant. Put up trellis for now. Unsure if I’ll take it down or keep it up. Put the plants in the taller tent

Blacksabbath96 Topped and cloned the top off of one of the NL#5 on 4/25/25. It will be a cool comparison of LST vs Topping and it is being done with the two plants of the same strain and one of a different strain. The Granny Candy and the Northern Lights on the right are untopped plants and have just been bent over using plant ties, whereas the NL5 in the middle of the tent has been topped and I will only use light lst on it such as bending the branches down manually by hand and letting them return naturally. Transplanted Granny Candy on 4/28/25

Blacksabbath96 Noticed the leaves yellowing a bit so I got right on it. I used FOOP Mist for 3 days, which is an OMRI listed foliar spray containing fish manure, fish emulsion, kelp, calcium, magnesium, and silica. The difference is actually impressive. The plants are bushier, greener, and bigger. I also have been watering with worm casting tea to ensure my soil is actively living. The Granny Candy is seemingly the slowest vegging plant I’ve ever grown, but I’m hopeful it will take off soon. I would actually flower the other two at this size but for now I don’t mind waiting for a nice even canopy. None of these plants should stretch a lot once in flower and we have lots of room to grow.
