She got topped and defoliated at 17 days. Doing well so far. Probably cut the other tops in a couple days. She's getting full treatment from the shogun range so all is well and good

Steady away for her. Cut nutes down a touch getting some burn on her. Hasn't had any sumo boost either. She's doing good though, hopefully see her fatten up. Done better than I thought as it is anyway 😁

She's getting there now 😁 Packing on some weight and starting to really smell. Not a pungent smell, it's like a dull bubblegum/Hubba bubba smell. Little bit weedy but nothing taking ya nose hairs out hahaha Really happy with how this hasn't turned out so far. Solid strain from pyramid seeds big up 👌🏻

Fattening up a bit now. Buds aren't light and fluffy and she smell so amazing. She's not far off now l, few more weeks I think. Leaves look at a little heat stressed but everything else I need the room is fine, maybe getting sensitive as she ripens, not entirely sure.

Final push for this now. Gave her a nigh flush with 30 litres and started her in the dragons force with some sumo boost. Gonna try get another feed into her then start final flush. Plenty ambers now so should be loolimg goodbye by end of next week for the final round. Smells amazing. Still that bubblegum type smell but it's getting more pungent. Buds are a bit light and fluffly they might sense up a bit over the last stretch but I'm no thanks too sure Yano. Will see how it goes. All good though 👌🏻

Onto her second round of flushing now, be down by Tuesday I think. Done better than I though she would give my the training, she said tiny and I wont get much off her at all but it's all good I just wanted to Get that structure with the mainline and further topping. Took it pretty well I think. Smells amazing by the way and go to one that real nice colouring 👌🏻 Buds aren't really compact or anything and there's a load o fox tailing but again it's all good 😁 Next entry will be the harvest

The plan was to get 8 main colas through mainlining and topping again and again. Didn't think it'd do as well as it did at all. Turned out great 👌🏻 She was small and yielded very little but of course I expected that. Showed some real nice colouring in the last few weeks and although it didn't stink the room out it was still a real nice smell, fruity with a hint of a bubblegum type smell. Wasnt the quickest turnaround mind. Smoked great, I spent most of sunday "trying" this out haha didn't knock me out but it's fair to say I got nothing done 😂 Solid plant which put up with a heap of stress, could see these doing really well under less stress.

Hey! I really enjoy growing Pyramid Seeds genetics, and I am a huge fan of multiple nodal mainlining so this is an easy follow! Happy Growing UKAtuo 😀

BudKingsGrowcommented7 years ago
@UKauto, I've had success on a few Auto with Nodal mainelining like a few of my current GDs and can tell you that my experience with Pyramid genetics shows that they have strong Ladies! Wishing you the best of luck UKAuto!!

UKautocommented7 years ago
@BudKingsGrow, thanks man 😁 Interested to see how she does with it being an auto. I know she'll be small but I'm ok with that. Never mainlined an auto before but seen good results on a few fastbuds strains.

Hello, I am very interested in growing a Northern lights but I was wondering how powerful is the smell of the plant because I live in a small apartment and I do not want to bother the neighbors.
UKauto
UKautocommented7 years ago
@Alonso, I think your best bet is to get a good carbon filter set up. 5 plants will put out a noticeable smell in your apartment for sure. Can reduce it fairly well with a carbon filter and maybe set up som pots of ona gel around the place too. Not inside the tent but out in the room and hallway maybe. Depends on the intensity of smell and your neighbors sense of smell haha hope you figure something out and are able to grow some stuff man ✌️🏻
Alonso
Alonsocommented7 years ago
@UKauto, thanks a lot. apartment size: 120 m2 Room size: 20 m2 tent size: 60x60x150 plants: maybe 3-5 (everything depends on how much all the plants smell) In my country cannabis is illegal and on the first floor of my apartment lives a not very modern family and I do not want to have problems with them because of the smell, do you think it smells on the first floor?
UKauto
UKautocommented7 years ago
@Alonso, nearly all of the northern lights I've grown has been pretty stinky mate. Some more so when it's drying, could smell it down the hall with door shut on a couple times when drying it. I wasn't running any air scrubbers though, maybe get a good carbon filter. How many plants are you thinking of running and in what size tent/room?

Lost loads of water weight too, nearly bone dry after 5/6 days drying and there's 26g. Knew I wouldn't get much though it was tiny. Nice smoke though I have it a test yesterday was baked haha

@ParadiseCrew, spotted literally 2-3 ambers throughout. Normally wait til about 5% Amber then flush 😁 Considering switching to shoguns dragon force next feed then 2 week flush if I can squeeze that

Quick tip you can use @shogun from seeds bro when your going to germinate your next seeds mix 2ml of root boost I a litre of water and tip some in a cup drop seed in when it drops to bottom transfer it to tissue soak the tissue with the rootbooster water mix and watch how quick she pops her taproot out send you a picture on instagram
