Grow Diaries: Happy Harvest Journal Entry – The Northern Lights Sisters * Date: August 2026 * Location: Eastern High Plains, Colorado, CO * Status: Harvested, Dried, and Curing in Jars Overview & Harvest Celebration The journey for the Northern Lights autoflower sisters (Charlotte and Michaela) has officially reached its rewarding conclusion. Following a meticulous harvest schedule—with Michaela taking the big chop on August 7th and Charlotte following closely on the morning of August 10th—the buds have been successfully trimmed, dried in the custom cardboard drying chamber equipped with a canister fan and bamboo rods, and transferred into glass mason jars for the curing process. The Marathon Timeline: A 17-Week Journey One of the most notable takeaways from this particular grow cycle is the sheer duration of their development. Combined, their entire vegetative and flowering stages stretched across a remarkable 17 weeks. While this is an unusually long timeline for autoflowers, the sisters definitely utilized every single day of that extended span. They poured all that extra time into stacking dense bud sites, heavily packing on the trichomes, and developing a robust structure that rewarded our patience. Final Yield & Quality After completing the drying phase and transitioning into jars, the final tally for the Northern Lights harvest came in at a solid 2.3 oz. Opening the jars reveals a fantastic aromatic profile, dense resin-coated structures, and top-tier flower that stands as a true testament to the dedication poured into this grow. I will do a Smoke Update as soon as it's cured. Thanks for following this grow. Check out my profile page to view my 2nd round of autos and the Durban Poison quartet. *** *** *** SMOKE REPORT 9.1.26 *** *** *** Having to get into her a few days earlier than I would like. Very light on flavor profile. But she's smooth, give me a nice head high, ready to tackle the pantry. Aroma & Profile: The dried flower is a bit light on the nose and subtle on the initial terpene punch, but it cures into a clean, smooth smoke. Smoke & Effects: * Quality of Smoke: Smooth and clean burning. * Potency & High: Solid 6 to 7 out of 10. Delivers a heavy-hitting, carefree body relaxation that wipes away the stress of a long day and leaves you completely unbothered. Overall Verdict: An incredible, gratifying reward after months of outdoor growing. Perfect for kicking back and unwinding in the evening 👍💪👌🔥

She was a dream to grow she is super frosty and the buzz is very cerebral and a fast onset and ending 4 hrs later with a good couch lock I am very pleased

Welcome 😁 to flowering cycles

The ladies gain a good size Elizabeth look ready to enter flowering This strain grow really fast😲 from now I try to push them with 24h light on😈 let's see if both start flowering this week👌 -------------------------- UPDATE DAY 25: (finally i've a decent camera so you'll see better pics from now) Got some trubble yesterday morning, Elizabeth started silcing from the topped part 😟 (probably due to excessive lst). Luckly she didn't even noticed it 😅 (i've fix it as soon as i found it out), she continue her road on flowering. While Irene probably will start in next 2-3 days. So next week we should start with flowering. P.s. already started developing a very nice smell👌 next week i'll probably start a time-lapse for flowering

Think it’s time to start flush, been a super easy one to grow

Big Fat Wedding Cake is growing good. I did a solution change on her 4 days ago. She is developing some nice colas with a good frost. She is starting to bulk and give off a aroma. Nothing else to report at the moment.

Slowly cutting back on feeding her probably just light feedings this week then 2 weeks straight with plain PH water. Bring down the ppms. I've heard people saying you dont need to flush. What I do people is I give them plain water for two weeks and sometimes I'll add and extra gallon of ice cold water to stress the plant to make more thhricomes. I used to do ice flushing all the time which is putting ice cubes around the base of the plant and then slamming it with ice cold water. I got this method from oldmanindica on Instagram and then notice many people doing it after me. Does it work who knows right? Just science But other then that beautiful fucking plant great outcome I'm sad it's coming to and end already. Dutch passion again with the great geneicts.

Hi to everyone. DAY 74 -- Happy to say I haven't had any major issues so far this year. Made a video to show the progress and the difference in how the plants look. Some are getting stretched/pulled; while others aren't. All are getting partial shade throughout the day to avoid the heat stress. Am considering full sun now that they are bigger. Count: 50/50 male/female; 6 of each basically from the 12 seedlings.

Week 3 flowering for the Green Papaya from the super sativa seeds club. All looking good at the moment, the buds are showing a nice layer of snow on the buds, very sweet and fruity, we love the Green Papaya. We did a complete defoliation already and will do some maintenance here and there.

I am ready for the great surprise, male or female. It’s looking good.

Great grow, dealt with some pests that took a few plants from me . But overall my best grow quality so far and I’m very happy with the grow!

Hello growmies, OK so we definitely flowering now yay 😁. Today I will put them on flowering amounts of food. So we can really start to them start bulking up and becoming proper nugs on me tree. Lol. Will be back to update later when light is on! Peace out 🤟🌱🍀🌿 Nutrients given: per 20litre 💧 Flora grow 15ml Flora micro 32ml Flora bloom 48ml Ph down 6.0

Day 9: Diagnosis: Slight Nutrient Burn, Growth Normal. Treatment: Feeding Cal-Mg tomorrow Day 12: 👍🏾(Looking Good!)

Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , she is well into pre flower now but the stretch has not yet started so I figured it's no or never too defoliate and tigh them down , this grill really has grown right out this week and is unrecognisable from the plant just a few days ago , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

These were amazing plants and the smoke is even better, I will admit the dry weight may be light. We have smoked a good share already! Oh the Dreamzzzzz 💚✌️

Now in the 15 liter felt pots

Buds are taking off , their joining up on the main stems , the plants are around 2.5 ft tall ,the one at the back right has a tolly different growth pattern ,and leaning more on the indica side ,the other two are show their sativa side more , all fattening up , stems too .

Beginn Woche 12 Außer abwarten ist gerade nix zu tun😇😇 Buds legen gut an Masse zu, und so langsam riecht es wirklich lecker nach Zitrus mit Papaya/Mango😍 Denke bis Ende Oktober/erste Novemberwoche dauert es noch mindestens. Tag 44 Blüte Leider gerade etwas Probleme mit Trauermücken🤬 Geht zwar noch, aber bevor die Biester Überhand nehmen heute nochmal SF Nematoden.
