Royal Queen Seeds Auto Grow off to a great start! After 24 Hours in a shot glass of dechlorinated water there was signs of life!, I then damp paper towel in a zip bag for a further 48 hours. I came back to a seedling with a very long tap root! I had left her too long! The seedling was planted into a 5 Gal fabric pot of Biobizz light mix coco and given a humidifier/dome and a position under the Mars Hydro TS1000 for vegging. Thanks for reading guys, as always good luck with your own grows! ✌️😎🌱

Another week cruised by with good development of the northern lights, due to height restrictions I decided to go for a gentle FIM and hope that helps a more even distribution of the growth hormones for a more even canopy. (Although I’m sure this will stunt the plants growth a good week or so). I’ve upped the nutrients in her feeds and she’s taking it like a champ, bring on the next few weeks! Thanks again for reading, good luck with your own grows! As always I’m open to comments whether it be constructive or criticism ✌️🙏👍😎

A great week of growth! Managed to get the tents cool tube functioning on point with the 400watt dual spectrum Sunmaster bulb in there 😎☀️✌️ Air temps at a steady 26 degrees with plenty of circulation and negative pressure from the filter/RVK extraction upgrade 💪 I FIM’ed her, removed two large fan leaves and applied some LST. RQS are confident this is a strong gene that’ll fight back 👌👍🤞 We can se she’s in preflower now and no doubt my training and changes have stressed her so will delay the flowering stretch, hopefully I’ll benefit from a better yield with a more even canopy that’s not too close to the light! Nutes amended slightly this week too, let’s see how she gets on! Thanks again to my followers and readers! Good luck with your own grows! 👍👍👍✌️🌷😁

Some fantastic growth this week! Stem thickening up by the day, I’ve Applied some more LST and removed a few leaves. She’s drinking more and starting to stretch towards the light despite the ties! Preflower is in full swing 👍 Environment the same, nutrients adjusted with more bloom mix and the addition of Cal Mag to help with nutrient uptake. I’ve noted some nitrogen toxicity so reduced accordingly. Let’s see what she does this week 😎✌️ Thanks for reading and all the best with your own grows 👍

Another great week of growth, a seamless transition into flowering, what a plant! Some stretching here and there so LST adjustments made daily. I’ve now increased the Bloom nutrients and reduced the nitrogen dosage due to some indications of toxicity, Bud sites popping up all over the place, I’ve removed a few lower sites to influence larger main colas and retain some clear space for air flow etc 👍 Bring on the next week! I’ll be doing my best to keep her height down as I know these genetics are very keen to go up and keep going! Thanks for reading, all the best with your own grows! ✌️💪👍😎

A great week for Northern Lights! Things have really stepped up a notch now she’s in swing of flower! Stretching in all directions and bud sites appearing/swelling all over 😎 The obvious LST adjustments have been kept on top of, concerned about her stretching too much and getting light burn, let’s see how I manage this week! I’ve done some lollipopping and strategic defoliation for the obvious reasons 😁 Thanks for reading and happy growing! ✌️👊🙏💪😎

A little more of a stretch this week and lots of filling out, I’ve increased the nutrients accordingly and given some beneficial microbiology to support a little nitrogen toxicity. A lower dosage feed this next week and some a little defoliation/lollipopping 🤓 Thanks to all the followers! Good luck with your own grows! ✌️👍🙏👊😎

A great week! Pretty much no changes to structure just simple bud calyx swelling and pistles popping out in all directions! A beautiful refreshing scent, almost fruity, I’m defiantly running this strain again with a prolonged vegetative period and a larger container to support the root infrastructure growth early on 👌🤓 I raised the nutes and PPM fell in line, further more she had some healthy Doses of S13 and 2 PH 6.0 water Inga between feeds. She’s gulping it all up and expanding by the day, great genetics, what a pleasure to grow and watch mature! I’m guessing she’s 2 weeks away from the chop so plan to inspect trichomes next week and continue to feed before a week of flushing 💦 Thanks as always to my followers and those that have taken the time to view/read the updates 👌👊👍 See you next week! 😎

A great week for her! Guarded by one of my cold blooded friends while I was away! I flushed her with water (PH 6) before I left her to her last few days under the bulb 💡😎 Was pleasantly surprised to see her complete upon my return so I have placed her in darkness for 48 hours before the Chop! I really want to thank all those that have helped me along the way with this one, it’s been very simple bar some toxicity issues at the beginning (all my fault 🙃) but it just goes to show with the right attention and attitude you can turn it around! I will be for sure doing another RQS northern, next time a 10 Gal container and more microbiology attention 🤓 what an absolute beauty she is. The fragrance is a mixture of pine and fruits, it’s really refreshing, the plant itself is sticky ICKY! 😍 See you all in the next few days once she’s been cut/weighed and hung! ✌️👊👍😎

Well this was a really straight forward grow, very very pleased with the outcome and the bud isn’t completely cured 😋 5 Gal fabric pot with BioBizz light mix, some light consistent feeding, a FIM and basic LST, look at the outcome! No wonder their strain wins awards! I will 100% be growing more NL! Thank you RQS ✌️🙌👌🙏

Wow! 2 weeks and this is how big they are? Mine were 6 weeks from watering the seed before they were that big. What do you call their birthday?

NewfieFarmercommented5 years ago
@Gardener_of_Goodness, I have one that's taking off now, incidentally it didn't grow at all until nearly week 4. I'm going to need to buy a new tent just for it if it keeps going!

Gardener_of_Goodnesscommented5 years ago
@NewfieFarmer, yeah autos with good genetics are very vigorous it seems! Did you PH the water? Temps warm enough? I call their birthday the day they see the light and open their leaves (Green) 👌✌️👍😎
