More Fantastic Grow News! They have been still doing great and developing the flowers and buds - I am VERY happy with how everything has been turning out! When opening the tent you are immediately hit with the subtle smell of maturing, ripening ganja - Each flower has a mixture of white hairs, orange hairs and an incredible amount of frosty leaves and trichomes. I notice that my Cherry Gorilla x Sol Sonic #2 is sprouting the red hairs faster than the rest - I hope she can hold off until the rest of the girls are completely finished! The Cal-Mag seems to be working - I am noticing dark, dark green leaf color right next to the biggest buds - I am guessing that this is the Cal-Mag doing its thing. I see that the leaves that were damaged from the deficiency are slowly turning back, however I feel as it is this far along, the plants are most likely focusing on the flowers rather than the leaves - which seems to be what I wanted. The dark color next to the buds give me hope it was a good remedy. When touching each of the flowers, you are left with a VERY sticky, leftover goo than stays on your fingers. Each flower smells extremely distinct - which is somewhat unexpected. This just goes to show you the power of phenotypes! These seeds came from the same dispensary bag, and each one seems to be just a little different. You can especially see what I am talking about from the Macro shots I took this week - look at the descriptions for the full breakdown. Wish me luck! I am slowly approaching week 7 - 8 when I am going to be starting my flush process (I think?) Appreciate all the input, likes and follows!

My experience overall can be best described as an interesting enlightening process. Since it was my first time growing it was definitely a learning experience. From the height being as tall as it was to the high winds in the area making it difficult to keep them from toppling when the buds were reaching full maturity. Thinking it would have benefited from more topping than just the once. The terps that this strain has are exquisite!! I am going to miss walking by them towering over me and just breathing in their berry cream aroma, taking in the sweetness like I had just had some dessert. Really enjoyed this strain and hope to grow it again sometime. Thanks for checking out my first grow 🌼💚✌️

Northern Lights - Day 54 Harvest Report! 🌿✂️ First harvest complete! Trimmed all top colas fresh, removing parts without trichomes and selecting only useful trim. Main stem removed. The untrimmed apex alone weighs over 90g! 😍 So massive I had to split it into smaller pieces to prevent mold. Harvest stats: • Trimmed weight: 150g from this first harvest • Trim sealed in freezer bags (air removed with straw) and frozen • Now drying at perfect conditions! Second harvest coming at day 60! Thanks to everyone for checking in! 🙏 Appreciate you taking a look!

Feed and defoliation Tuesday evening, was a little bit of work but a lot of fun too. Put some music on and giver! Was careful to try not to overdo it with the scissors, I even lay down on the floor and looked up from underneath to see how it looked that way. Buds are getting dense and sticky, the trichomes are starting to frost things up a bit. I can't wait to see where these endup. Next feeding I'll increase the amount of nutes a bit, according to schedule. Fed Friday night, 5 litres of Remo week 4. Did a bit more defoliation I missed, like a dozen leaves per plant. I dunno, that could be smart, could be stupid. We just don't know. Now I'll let em boogie on down to the finish line and give em lots of light and love and tunes and tickles. Gonna give em week 5 nutes on Monday 😎 Not sure how much runoff I should be getting. Last time it wasn't more than a few spoonfuls, @ pH 5.7 which seems fine with me as it's a hassle to deal with the excess. I'm sure someone somewhere will tell me I'm wrong???

Una semana con lluvia y mucho viento. Han soportado muy bien, estoy sorprendido. El crecimiento sigue constante. A week with rain and a lot of wind. They have endured very well, I am surprised. The growth is still constant.

First of all, I let the seeds soak in water for 10 hrs and I used the paper towel method for germination.

Hello everyone hope you staying cool Cause the weather is over 100 degree and everything is drying and dying. We really need some rain! Anyone with the heat wave I trying keep this gals water up. The biggest one drink water like no tomorrow, well both of them. I give them a tea liquid compost 3.11.11 of organic fertilizers. Just to keep up with the flowering stages she using up a lot nutritions and I’m glad that I was on top of my game with these outdoors grow. Not bad for novice first timer. My family love them. I’m keep in the sun as thst will help with resins production and the bees are doing a fine job pollen them.

3/23: I let them go totally dry this time and fed them with about 3/4 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, cha ching, tiger bloom, big bloom, and humic acid. This was probably the last time the shorter one gets any nutes. She's ripening up now.😃 3/27: I watered them today with about 3/4 gallon of filtered water with sticky & sweet, terpinator, signal, cal-mag, and a little bit of cha ching. I looked them over pretty well. Soooperrunt is the furthest behind of the three plants, but her cola is gonna be massive. This was the last time that the other two get any nutes at all. I'll flush them once they are dry.

With no doubt these plants have not produced much more quantity and density of buds due to the 2 serious mistakes I've made (those who have read the weeks will know what I mean). However, I can say that I am happy with the production obtained given the mistakes made. Between the 2 plants, the one that has produced more and generated the most dense buds has been the Gorilla with the Man-lining technique applied, it has also loosed a bit less weight drying than the non man-lining one. In comparison with the Money Makers with which they have grown the result is the same. Both Gorillas have each produced more than any of the Moneys comparing them 1 to 1. Also buds are a bit dense than the moneys, but none of them is really desde at all. *****ESPAÑOL***** Sin duda estas plantas no han producido mucha mas cantidad y densidad de cogollos debido a los 2 graves errores que he cometido (quien se haya leído las semanas sabrá a que me refiero). No obstante, puedo decir que estoy contento con la producción obtenida dados los errores cometidos. Entre las 2 plantas, la que más a producido y ha generado cogollos más densos ha sido la Gorilla con la técnica de Man-lining aplicada, y también ha perdido un poquito menos de peso en el secado que la otra. En comparación con las Money Maker junto a las que han crecido el resultado es el mismo. Las Gorillas han producido cada una más que cualquiera de las Moneys comparándolas 1 a 1. Así mismo, los cogollos de las Gorillas presentan un pelín más densidad que el de las Moneys, aunque realmente ninguna de las 4 plantas ha generado cogollos densos del todo.

Starting this week there will be a Mars Hydro VG40 at the bottom to boost the lower buds, they will not be as dense but will be good for some hash that's why I leave them be. The ORP probe is not calibrated and values are to be taken with a grain of salt. Values are average of the day.

I think a beginner can grow this plant easy because of its resistance and the fact that doesn’t need much care.If you make it to the end you will get incredible result for the first time.
