Miketama I am pleased to present to you my Northern Light.
I would like to thank Divine Seeds for allowing me to enter the contest and giving me the opportunity to grow these fantastic strains!
Since I will be growing this plant with 6 other plants and 3 different strains, which while similar may have different vegetation and flowering stages, I decided to use the biotabs set for all plants with the minimum recommended dose and manage any deficiencies with bio bizz fertilizers.
So I mix into the soil startrex add the time-release fertilizer tablet after which I mix into the first layer of soil a tablespoon of mycotrex and plant the seedling; I water with 1 L of water mixed with 5ml of orgatrex and 1g of bactrex. In theory it will be enough to water with only water until the 3rd week of flowering, but I will go an add more substrate and mycotrex as soon as the plant has grown.

I reduced the light hours to 20/4 when the light goes out(during the hottest time of the day) I spray the leaves with water.
The plant shows slight leaf mutations on the first two nodes. The third pair showed three-leaflet leaves without other anomalies, while at the fourth node the normal five-leaflet morphology finally manifested.

Miketama Weekly Plant Care Activities:
Pest Management:
• Applied neem oil treatment for natural pest prevention and control
• Note: Neem oil application was partially premature - two plants showed slight stress/damage. However, thrips were detected and immediate intervention was necessary to prevent infestation spread. Should have diluted the solution more for young plants. On the bright side, there isn’t a single fungus gnat flying around the tent anymore - apparently went a bit overkill with the pest control!
Lighting Adjustment:
• Increased LED light intensity to 80%
Substrate Enhancement:
• Added BioBizz substrate up to stem nodes level
• Incorporated mycorrhizal fungi
• Misted the newly added substrate with rhizobacteria solution.
Fertilization:
• Applied Royal Queen Seeds BiggerFlower fertilizer at 1/4 strength dosage
• Note: Using RQS three-component system (Bigger/Thicker/Sweeter) instead of BioTabs PK 5-8 booster. While very similar in composition to the single BioTabs product, the three-part system offers the advantage of providing additional nutrients during vegetative phase and more precise control over feeding regimen.
Plant Training & Maintenance:
• Removed lower branches from first nodes for improved energy distribution
• Disinfected all pruning cuts with cinnamon powder as natural antimicrobial treatment
• Applied Low Stress Training (LST) technique to main stem.

Miketama Northern Light has successfully entered flowering stage this week.
Substrate Management:
• Cotyledons (seed leaves) dropped naturally, indicating healthy plant maturation
• Added fresh substrate to pot level, reaching first node for enhanced root development
Fertilization Program:
• Foliar spray application of BioBizz Alg-A-Mic ,Root feeding with RQS BiggerFlower
Plant Management:
• Applied selective defoliation of lower fan leaves to improve airflow and light penetration. Current LST expansion limited due to available growing space.

Miketama Weekly Summary:
• Watered once with “Thicker Flower” and “Bigger Flowers” at 1/4 dosage
• Continued leaf tucking, moving larger fan leaves and using clips to position them lower
• Light defoliation - only removed leaves that were completely shaded
Thanks for following along on this grow journey! More updates coming soon.

Miketama Hey everyone! This week i completed the final and most intensive defoliation session. From now on, it’s hands-off time to let the plant do its thing naturally.
This week’s care:
• Final defoliation completed
• Nutrition: Orgatrex 15ml + Bactrex 1g in 0.5L water
•.Increased the light intensity to 100%
————————————————————————
• Plant showing excellent bushy growth with minimal apical dominance
• Secondary branches developing beautifully alongside the main cola
• Most advanced flowering progress in the tent so far
Big thanks to everyone following along on this journey! 🙏
