Wet paper towel method. Seeds cracked in 48 hours. Transplanted into peet pots using fox farm soil, coco coir, earthworm castings and perlite. Growing very quickly, will transplant into 2 gal smart pots and put under 200 watt veg lights next week. Already had to add soil to pot and bury stem.

Going good 9 days from popping up. Typical 2nd week of growth. Transplanted into 2 gal smart pots. Used Mykos as directed when repotting. Also gave a good 1st feeding. Adding in worm castings and bat guano. Put all Autoflowers into there own dedicated tent with a 1,000 watt cob led. Raised light to 31" and only have on veg lights.

Stupid impressed on the growth over the past week. Have been gradually lowering light from 31" to 25, will settle on 24 in a couple days if they continue to respond so well. Gave first full feeding because they've been growing so quickly figured they can take it. Debating on fiming or lst, would like to see what they look like naturally 1st, I do have 10 more seeds left.

Lots of new budding, height, and pistils on 1 and other just started to show signs of flower. Started on new 2part line from Emerald Harvest now. I was using random nuts here and there and decided to stick with one brand because ppm was getting all jacked mixing shit. Keep it simple and stick with feeding chart. Started using drip clean every feeding and watering. Also only going to be using the cal si mag and roots gold on my water days. Plants are drinking every other day, 3 days tops before they are totally dry. Will use more coco coir next time and less perlite.

Northern Lights are both doing great. Buds are forming quicklu and plants still seem to be stretching out some now at 18-19" tall. Starting to smell really good, and just starting to develop some trichromes on the leaves right around the bud. Looking forward to next week. Will cut back cal si mag to 5 ml per gal and only use on water days.

Northern lights are doing great. Bulking up and really starting to show lots of trichromes. I skipped week of early flowering and went straight to mid flowering since they seem to be mid versus early. Cant wait to see them next week!

Both are doing great. Seriously starting to bulk up, on 2nd week of mid flowering and loving it. Impressed with height and structure, thinking weight will be on point also. Plant I fimed definitely took the nutrients better. Will be fiming everything from now on.

Plants are both ridiculously sticky and stinky. Absolutely covered in trichromes. The fimed girl is bulking up like crazy. Beyond impressed with how big and hard the buds are. The lowers look equally ridiculous with massive nugs nobody would ever think we "lowers". 2 weeks tops then done!

Started flushing with flawless finish. Plants stink to high hell and are beyond words sticky! Very large very dense buds just covered in trichromes. Blown away how amazing these autoflowers grown under a $139 LED light are. Will be harvesting in 5-7 days. Definitely suggest Northern lights AF from "I love growing marijuana".

Harvesting these ladies tonight, pulled them from tent before lights kicked on. I dry trim and hang entire plant for several days before breaking it down so I wont have an accurate wet weight imho but ill post it anyway. Obviously can't speak on taste yet, but they absolutely stink to high hell! Very fruity, piney, and nutty all in one, hard to explain. Never grown in a tent, soil, leds, or autoflowers and in my opinion they turned out great. I'm very impressed with the size and density of the buds considering I dont have C02 and my light is only 245 watts. Great customer service from I❤️GM, will absolutely be starting more autoflowers from them in the future. Once it dries and I smoke some I'll come back and edit/update taste and weights, ect. Update: hung dry for 10-12 days, been curing out for weeks now. Not much smell. 1 NL is super dense buds, other is super leafy and airy. Neither has much taste when smoked. Gets you high but nothing to write home about. Was fun growing then and they're super easy and quick, just not much kick or nose once dried.

What LED did you use for $139?

@Vangogh_Grow, Nice I'm trying to compare with what I have going right now in my 2x2 tent. Im using a Bestva 1000w (185w power draw) and I see that your light gave you very satisfying, dense looking flowers. I hope mine can do something similar. PAR value for my light at 18" is pretty good so we will see. Might end up throwing in a old mars hydro 300 during flower. Looked up your Phlizon brand with cob. def a bit better than my light. I would buy this now if I wasn't considering the new Mars hydro TSW 2000 and possibly getting a 3x3!

@NattyMeds, Old version "Phlizon" brand 1,000 watt (245 actual watts) w/ dual cree bulbs. Got it off Amazon. Very happy with them. No issue's thus far. Worked so well Im running 2 in one tent, and 1 in each of my other 3 tents. Best light for your $ in my opinion.

I just harvested my second NL from ILGM. Great nighttime smoke. I also use this strain for mixing with other strains. Good mixes are NL and Amnesia Haze or WW. This strain is also great for making oils.
the end.
