Growing it was quite a journey. Since I had a lot of changes in my life, I couldn't take the time I wanted to make a good diary, but I still managed to take some pictures. I had some problems since I changed the size of my pots and didn't use LST. One plant grew so tall that it went above the LED, and other plants were too close to the LED. Using three 20L pots in a 60cm x 60cm space was too much; they didn't have enough room. For the next grow, I'll use only two pots and employ SCROG and LST

So here are a bunch of photos/vids of the first 4 weeks of flowering. This girl really took off and has filled out the 4’x4’ net on top of her nicely, and my 1000w hortilux eye HPS bulb is really kicking ass! Got her in the same tent/RDWC system as 1 other Cement Shoes and so far she’s loving it. Got a massive root system backing the 5 gal bucket and spread out beautifully. They are really drinking up the water now too, putting 2 gallons in everyday. Another 4-6 weeks to go! Cheers 💨

2 of the 6 plants in this series got left behind in veg due to lack of space in the flower tent from the auto run. Should be able to harvest those in a few days to bring the last 2 in to flower. Have had the flu this week and haven’t gave much attention or love to the ladies as I’d like. 5 gallon pots are kinda sucking too. Really wanting to do a 4x4 bed to improve everything and better compost as mine has thrips … don’t trust people on Facebook marketplace… even with there website/ company .. totally screwed my base living soil mixture up.

I cut another part of the girls, and the total is even greater than the first part! We wait another week for the final sums, but right now the flavor is unique.

End of week 4 marking around the half way point as both strains both have 8-9 week flower periods. Runtz Muffin #1 already looks like it's going to have more of a longer airy bud structure compared to the others

-18.07.2024 The fourth week of the vegetation phase begins today. The plants are showing the first "white hairs", so they are in their pre-flowering phase. A few of the lower leaves have been removed and light LST applied. From this week onwards, 1-2ml Top Max is added to the water in addition with 2-3ml Bio Grow. The lamp is 70cm above the plants and runs at 60%. the measured values with the Photone App: Ppfd = 700 DLi = 50 -19.07.2024 Visual control Soil felt dry, the plants were watered with 500 ml of water each. -20.07.2024 Visual Check Soil still felt moist -21.07.2024 Earth felt dry 3ml BioGrow and 2ml TopMax to 1 liter of water both plants were watered with 500ml water the Skywalker haze worries me a bit when you look how big Mango smile is -22.07.2024 Visual check Surprisingly the Earth felt dry after one day so both plants were watered with 500ml water -23.07.2024 Visual Check Soil still felt moist For the next watering,i will increase the amount of water per plant to 750 ml -24.07.2024 Last day of the vegetation phase / pre-flowering. The plants were watered with 500ml of water per plant. (2ml Bio Grow + 2ml Top Max per 1 liter of water)

Feb 13th: Seeds germinating in Paper towel Feb 14th: Seeds started opening Feb 15th: Seeds sprouting 👌 They all seem to be sprouting well, except the Royal Kush Feb 16th: UPDATE! All seeds worked out well except for Royal kush, which still not sprouted, I think it´s a bad seed. I´ll give it more time anyways. Just transplanted all other seeds to pots! Feb 17th: I threw royal kush away and contacted the Seed Bank got some seeds on the way, all good I´ll start it a week later it´s not a problem. Concerning the babies, (Green Gelato, Royal Gorilla, Northern Light, and Bulkberry) all of them grew out from the soil, I see some odd things but I´m hoping everything is going well Feb 18th: All of them came out, some stronger and some slower but nature seems to be doing its thing 👽

Very easy to grow in hydro, I did what I have done before, and did minimal defoliation. The plant drops some lower leaves herself as we go along anyway, as they begin to receive minimal light penetration. Northern lights had a shape that made it easy to grow with my light setup. The bigger buds were produced in the areas of the side lights, and let it also be known my harvest could have become a tad bigger if I hadn't picked off small buds and smoked them in the very end - must account for at least 30-40g or so, dunno precisely tho. The weed works like the usual homemade jazz, top notch. Top shelf. Northern lights did not disappoint, but I have pulled bigger yields of a White Rhino for example, made in the same manner. This is why it only get 8/10 stars. It simply lose two stars on yield, but the Rhino would also only have gotten eight stars, because it had deficiency problems on its own for example where this northern lights lady had zero deficiency probs - very stable plant. Recommended for both beginners and seasoned growers who are on the lookout for stable strains.

After some adjustments needed due to the heat of the lamp, I was able to stabilize my tent temperature to under 26c. I had to move the light to 2 ft away dimmer at 80% as the tips of new leaves shooting up fast and showing light burns. Mysoil PH climbed to 7.5 so I adjusted ph using big bud by advanced nutrients which drops my solution to 6. This will work for the time being. I've opened up the tent to allow air to flow more freely from the room as the outside air being pulled in had less than 400ppm after some careful measurements. This lead to drops down to 330ppm. I have since closed the vent. Opening up the tent increased co2 levels by 2-3 times. I overkilled fan department added a 16 inch oscillating fan. In the morning it has a strong smell before lights on.

Harvest in week 12. But I screwed up, I didn't have enough room to separate each variety, so I would put an average weight when everything was dry... I had done everything well, I had to mistake on the place of the drying bag Last pictures, mixed buds

This strain is LEGENDARY... and continues to amaze me every week! 😍 Never have I, in 15 years of growing in/outdoor both autos/photo periods, seen a bud "squirting" droplets of resin... have you? 😳 Sorry for the shitty mobile pics but... Gnar Gnar! 😈 Feel like they are almost ready... will start flushing and the daily trichome check until harvest day! 😋

Fourth week they have grown considerably and when they start to twist due to the sun I have put a stick tied to a rope to make them go higher, I hope for advice in the comments.( HABLO CASTELLANO ASI QUE NO TEMAIS EN ESCRIBIR LOS QUE HABLAN MI IDIOMA)

shortest plant is 50cm tallest being 95cm. They are all doing wonderfully, most of autos are budding nicely and all of the photoperiods are ready to flower. looking very promising. i am changing my light schedule to 14-10 to kick these girls into flower.. this will give the plants an extra 17% (or so) a day under the lights.rather than 12-12. i cant be fussy as i only have one grow space but if my research is correct these should grow beautifully! the autos are well ahead so shouldnt affect my harvest weight too much. like i say i cant be fussy! thanks for looking
