Northern Delights

RdSkM I don't know much personally about the Spanish seed bank Vip Seeds, and taking advantage of the fact that these seeds were gifted to me, I wanted to try my hand at growing this little lady called Northern Delights, which according to the bank's description, promises a very interesting experience, so let's see how it goes.

RdSkM Hello everyone. So far, everything is going wonderfully with this lovely girl. She's growing very healthily, and she's super easy to cultivate. I admit that lately I've seen an improvement in my grows because I got a digital pH and EC meter, so the water for the irrigations has been prepared and regulated meticulously, and I can now say that yes, it definitely makes a difference. The Northern Delights looks very pretty. Now patience, as this girl is just starting to take shape.

RdSkM At just 21 days, this little Northern Delights looks very healthy with a nice vibrant green color, although it's shorter in height than other strains in the grow space. Let's hope it stretches out soon and develops more nodes and eventually more flowers.

RdSkM Hey folks. In the course of 1 week, this little Northern Delights has grown almost double what it was before, which reflects that I've done a good job. Big, uniform leaves and buds that promise a very interesting yield. Although this plant is an autoflowering variety with a relatively short cycle and grown in a not-so-big pot (7 liters), it's growing and developing better than many other autoflowers in previous grows. All waterings with pH adjusted between 6.2 to 6.5 and a strict diet with Top Crop.

RdSkM Northern Delights is almost the same size and growth as its sister Dulce de Leche (check out that diary). Overall, these little plants from Vip Seeds have had similar growth and development, they look very much alike, although they have a different smell. This one smells stronger than the others. I added Top Candy and Top Bud for flower fattening. There's not much left to enjoy...

RdSkM Greetings. Just like in my other diaries, I've improved my photography technique a bit (it's amazing how a black background makes a noticeable difference). Northern Delights continues to grow steadily, and every day its flowers are getting bigger. This plant hasn't required much care from me, just a partial defoliation of some large and somewhat old leaves. Everything else, it speaks for itself. Behold that beauty.

RdSkM Every week its height is greater, maintaining a good internodal distance and with a wonderful look full of flowers already fattening up and almost in the final stretch.

RdSkM I've had little time to take good photos and put together a better report, due to these somewhat difficult and strange times, but let's talk about what really matters. Look at how my Northern Delights looks... 🖖👽 Defoliation and in a week or two more... Harvest!

RdSkM Day 63. It has been an interesting experience growing this Northern Delights from Vip Seeds. A few more days and it will be processed. It smells amazing.

RdSkM I think it's the strains I would like to grow again. Vip Seeds is a highly recommended seed bank. I'll give a final comment after the curing.
