Smokwiri Welcome to my Zambeza Seeds Northern Lights XL Autoflowering diary
Doing this old school strain this time, to see what kind of goodness this strain will bring us.
Popped it in the soil a couple of days ago, today it popped out of the soil. Starting indoors, in small container for germination, will move outdoor when the weather gets better.
-- Update Day 4
Transplant to normal size container was succesfull and i think the root has found its way to the new soil, the sapling is about 10cm now

Smokwiri Welcome to the second week of my XL Norhern Lights by Zambeza zeeds
transplant went good, no visible delay (i repotted 2 days after germination), first two leaves have risen, now to wait for the rest to come.
better weather is coming so perhaps when this baby gets bigger it could move outdoor where there's more light and more space.
also added a picture of Zambeza seeds seed packages, they look great when you line 'm up.
I'm using a lightmix, so i will add some mineral feeding, perhaps around week 3 of flowering.

Smokwiri Welcome to the fifth week of my zambeza Northern Lights XL diary
actually it's the beginning of week 4 now, pot is a bit bigger, and flowering didn't set yet
as we can notice, the gnats that were there in the beginning did some damage and have caused some delay
luckily the weed is a strong strain and managed to survive and is starting to look very nice.
it has some smell in it, i like it, it's the smell of dankness where it starts

Smokwiri Welcome to week 8 of my Northern Lights XL Auto diary
Did some LST, and she seems to like it very much.
Development did slow down a bit as it seems, but the plant is taking the training very well
the lower branches did grow quite a bit and are moving upwards to the light
overall performance is very good, no insects problems, also no problems with rain (yet)
Waiting for more bud development, let the plant take it's time

Smokwiri Welcome to my Northern Lights XL diary week 9 by Zambeza seeds
I think the LST has slowed down things a bit, but it responds very well
finally the buds are in normal development
a lot of tiny buds are becoming visible
good weather resistance, good bug resistance
some fanleaves getting yellow, i forgot to give the guano tea at evening so i did it during daytime. important lesson learned

Smokwiri Welcome to the last week of my Norhtern Lights XL diary by Zambeza Seeds
Almost finished, just waiting for 20-30 pistils to get brown
wow, such beautifull offspring which survived that much trouble
- update
more white pistils are showing up, trichomes are clear to milky
waiting for amber or 95% brown pistils
Real oldskool weed for the most of us. Great daytime smoke, easy on the throat, a bit uplifting and cheerfull smoke. for the connaseurs it remembers us that this was dank and still is. Growing this one was easy, there were a lot of problems in the beginning, normal auto would just finish its deadline, this one first took the time to recover. Very satisfied with the result. Superstrong genetics in terms of pest/disease resistance. When you look at the bud without smelling it, it kinda looks like silver haze. The buds are very compact for an outdoor, just like the modern kush species. Smell is a bit stealthy, mine had a sort of floral aroma and was covered with trichomes, the green is actually darker but the trichomes on top of it make it look lighter color. This might be doable to grow indoors without carbon filter.

Smokwiri Easy to grow, nature and ofcourse strong genetics helped this one recover from gnats, mites, heat stress, wind stress and so on, without those problems itgreat harvest anyway with some real dank Northern Light weed. Great genetics, Thanks Zambeza Seeds
Smokwiri End of my Northern Lights XL by Zambeza seeds diary
Leaving it to hang outside a bit, moving to tomatoe tent later tonight
looks fantastic
great floral smell
covered with trichomes
looking good dude, looks like it came back strong after the gnats. hoping to run these genetics soon myself. Will keep an eye on the diary, keep it up.
@LournieStonerHomegrown, very strong genetics as i can see so far, it was little when gnats attacked it, little spots all over the first leaves and some cold weather, the recovery is amazing, just a week delay and the leaf is very healthy and goodlooking now.
