I don't have a lot to compare this grow to, I've always been a social smoker and never really knew what I was consuming. Compared to the other two plants, the Northern Light Special took way more abuse (a 10 day stretch where I forgot to give her water). She took nutrients well and was generally a faster grower than the other two. All in all I'm really happy with the result, despite a being a first time grower I got a nice product. The harvest was unscheduled, pretty much all the fan leaves died out and the buds were starting to turn brown so I decided to chop early. I was worried the unscheduled harvest would kill the potency, but that was alleviated after making some infused coconut oil with 2 cups of trim and 2 cups of coconut oil. The blondies I made with half a cup of the oil was way too potent for me. Two small blondies left me with intense cotton mouth and overly paranoid. I'll try half a blondie next time. The flowers were a little over dry after hanging and are still curing. After a week or so the hay smell started going away leaving a pine / citrus scent.

Reviews. Nutrient
These are dead simple to use, which I appreciate. Since there were so many other variables and this is my first grow I can't say how much of an impact the nutes had.
Also simple to use, I had no problems with it.

Compared to the White Widow and Skunk #1 I would say Northern Light Special grew quite a bit faster. Even after accidentally breaking off 1 of 4 main colas she was almost twice the size of the other plants.

Sup Mynk, here to see how that Skunk works out for you. Best of luck on the grow! Also, not sure how white the paint is on your growspace walls, but you can pick up some cheap mylar sheets or panda film to supplement, if you find it's not as reflective as you'd like. Just a head's up! -beanbean

Thanks @beanbean! The skunk popped in 24h, really happy how well most of the seeds have started. I was looking at that panda film, but the white paint made such a huge difference I think it will be ok for now.

@BigDaddyK, yeah I need to get that under control. Currently I'm moving my plants to a sink and have been letting them drain, but the 7 gallon bags took a lot longer to drain than I expected. Thanks for checking out my grow

@OldCoolSativa, yeah I've never seen this much weed in one place before. I showed my bro the harvest and he said it looked like something Cheech would pull out of a backpack

Your White Widow looks more sativa leaning than mine, which is interesting. Nice bud action!

@OldCoolSativa, I'm looking forward to seeing how your White Widow grows. Mine is growing very differently from the other plants. Are the straight pistils a sativa trait?

Read your strain review haha. I rarely smoke. Like once or twice within 2 months and go through the same thing. I literally take 1 hit with my tolerance and get smashed with all this high thc stuff. Wifey loves it though! Keep growing man, I defiantly enjoy it and hope you keep growing. πŸ‘Š

I'm amazd you got a NL to go 12 weeks. That has to be ready by now. They all look good, though. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!!

Not sure man. I do think we'll need to arrange a joint smoke test though. :)

Clones can be funny , some strains are better than others , we found that the strawberry og was so difficult to clone and took ages to root,nearly a month , whereas the incredible bulk took two weeks. Roots are the key to growth , and we always used clonex . We kept them in a 40watt t 5 tent and had a 4 week cycle , ah those were the days 😏

Dude, you should've bought a reverse lottery ticket after you went 6/9 males. 😊 Too bad the PPP was a bust for both of us, but we both seem to be doing OK with the WW. We'll have to arrange a smoke report and comparison of soil and purple lights vs DWC and COBs! I'm encouraged to see your plants were at 5" in week 4, because that's where mine are now and I'm wondering if they've been stunted by low temps. ALso, the fact that 3 plants are filling your room so well makes me think my planned 6 might be too crowded.

The NL looked very generous! Hope the rest gives abundance too! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»
