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. 👍💪👌🔥

She was hiding he buds at first but they are all reaching for the sky and stacking high. Some beautiful looking cone shape tops on the colas that are fattening out all the way down the depth of the canopy. I switched the lights to turn off 30 minutes sooner at the beginning of the week to help them transition. So 11.5/12.5 schedule this week. Following week is going to be dropped another 30 minutes to 11/13. I also want to start getting the temperatures a considerable amount lower than what they have been so that I do not off-gas my terpenes and negatively affect the potency and flavor. I been battling the humidity, with the plants drinking 6-8 gallons ever 2-3 days. I'm hoping reducing the light intensity as well as the duration will get them to drink a little less, and I can keep my vdp better in check.

Her smell is super pure and fruity I love growing organically,this strain no matter if the phenotype is purple or green has a very intense and powerful mango aroma, I'll never get tired of growing this strain man! Love it! 💚

just about finished up this week. Choc mint 1 is about ready for chop. Chopped couple of main colas as i seen couple of signs of budrot. Dropped lights down to 400w each as temps are starting to rise above 30c. Choc mint 2 is looking unreal. Heaps of huge colas,think i will pull the most of this one. Will probably give till day 65.

Rocko's Terp Test – Fruitbomb Punch | Ernte an Blütetag 87 ✅✂️🌡️ Als letzte verbliebene Pflanze im Terp Test durfte die Fruitbomb Punch bis Blütetag 87 stehen. Nach den vorangegangenen Schimmelproblemen bei den anderen beiden Kandidaten war das schon fast ein kleiner Luxus. Mit 130 g Nassgewicht verabschiedete sie sich schließlich als Abschluss des Runs. Genau wie während der gesamten Blüte blieb sie ihrer Linie treu. Die Buds wuchsen lang und eher speerförmig, oben schön kompakt und fest, während sie nach unten hin deutlich lockerer wurden. Kein klassischer "Steinbud"-Strain, sondern eine Sorte mit einer eher offenen Blütenstruktur. Beim Trimmen zeigte sie sich dafür angenehm unkompliziert. Wenig Blattmasse, dadurch ging die Ernte vergleichsweise zügig über die Bühne. Das Highlight ist aber ganz klar das Aroma. Zwar steckt der Name "Fruitbomb" nicht umsonst drin, aber es ist keine reine Erdbeer-Nummer. Vielmehr erinnert sie an einen Korb voll reifer Früchte – süß, tropisch und leicht überreif, fast schon in Richtung fermentierte Frucht. Ein sehr eigener, intensiver Terpen-Mix, der sich deutlich von Strawberry AK und Chicken & Wafflez absetzt. Jetzt beginnt wie immer der spannendste Teil: die Zeit im Glas. Erst nach dem Curing wird sich zeigen, ob die Fruitbomb Punch ihr volles Potenzial auch beim Geschmack und der Wirkung ausspielen kann. Am Ende entscheidet das Glas. ✌️🌱💚

📆 Semana 9: Umbral del Solsticio La estructura se consolida y la planta entra en un punto de inflexión silencioso. 🌞 Los entrenudos marcan futuros cogollos, mientras el verde intenso continúa. Las raíces trabajan al máximo y el entorno se mantiene equilibrado. Pequeños ajustes de forma permiten optimizar la energía. ✂️ Todo se prepara sin prisa, pero con intención. Se acerca el cambio. 🌿 ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Buenas a tod@s... Otra semanita para estás nenas, como ya sabía a estás niñas lesva a faltar algo más de luz y sobre todo tiempo, para el tiempo q las tengo es verdad q ko crecieron mucho, ya q tengo bastante limitado el sol en la casa, pero ahora ya estuvieron y van a seguir algo más cerca de los focos, de momento salvarlas y ver q crezcan y no pretender tanto de ellas, serán lo q serán hasta q las vuelva a poner en indoor.. se las ve bien igual, van a su tiempo... Un saludo y buenos humos... 🏻🙌🏻💪🏻👍🏻

Begining of week 3 of veg and the Strawberry Banana fast flowering photo from @canukseeds is comming along good starting to pick up some speed an getting some hight on her under this medic grow fold 6 led Comming to the end of week 3 the Strawberry Banana from canuk seeds is doing good she is the smallest of the plants an is the only one not topped yet I mite not top this one an just let her grow her normal beautiful self

They are huge. I think I will start doing defoliation 2 times per week. PH 5,5 - 5,7 EC 2,50 - 2,75 See you next week guys!

Lost one of skittles dew to high humidity she started to show nanners and had to be removed the second one is doing great

End of week 3 of flower for some reason my phone wont take clear shots, so decided to provide a video for this week Everything seems fine, starting to smell them now All plants looking healthy

I forgot to setup the cam for week two after adjusting the height. Oh well maybe next week. Ghetto lights again, full spectrum with some FL. LED has a 2400RPM fan on a 5LBs heat-sink it gets hot AF like 400 watts all lights from the wall. Three Types of White Light-emitting Diodes on same grow warm, neutral, and cool, with 11%, 19%, and 28% blue light, respectively. Overall, the low blue light from warm white LEDs increased stem elongation and leaf expansion, whereas the high blue light from cool white LEDs resulted in more compact plants. Initial growth under cool white LEDs should promote the growth of short, sturdy hypocotyls. Subsequent transition to warm white LEDs should promote leaf expansion. Finally, after canopy closure, cool white LEDs should be used again to prevent excessive stem elongation. These effects could also be obtained by modulating the electrical current to red and blue monochromatic LEDs, achieving different blue ratios without the requirement for two sets of LEDs. Cool white LEDs may be the light source of choice because their high percentage of blue light (25%) means that they can meet the blue light requirements for normal development, even at low PPFs. Furthermore, measurements indicate that cool white LEDs are more electrically efficient than the neutral and warm white LEDs. The efficiency of LEDs is rapidly increasing and is approaching the efficiency of HPS lamps.

Hi guys. We started flowering with the first week! I am very excited! Plants seem to me to be healthy and grow. With Advanced Nutrient fertilizers it is very important to regulate and control the electrical conductivity of the solution. Next week I will give you more information. I put a net in order to divide the light and give a support in flowering. We'll see!

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Umstände.

Lil Nitrogen deficiency.

Easy Steckling... Klonkragen dran, den Rest besorgt der Sprudelstein bei richtigem Wasserstand.

01/08/18 - I fed them all 1 litre each, one of them seems to be praying up but the other two Seem a little bit droopy still. 02/08/18 - #3 is praying like usual and the other two are getting better Day by day I’m going to be giving them another feeding tomorrow, I have seen roots stretching out to the sides of the pots so I might saturate the whole pot. 04/08/18 - horrible sight today looks like rusty cracks in some leaves , not got a clue what this. 05/08/18 - browning has continued since last night and it’s all on the new leafs not the older ones. i fed them without any calmag , so I think it could be a deficiency of some sort (cal/mag).the mad thing is, it’s only two of the girls, one of them is completely fine nice green leaves not yellow marks that turn orange/brown. It definitely has nothing to do with my ph or all three girls would be showing some symptoms seeing as they all get fed with the same soloution.✌️🏻 07/08/18 - everything’s cleared up their was slight nute burn in the process but everything seems a lot better so I decided to start LST. all the new leaves are the colour they should be with no nute burns or calcium deficiency 🙏🏻

Bueno , este es el segundo cultivo que realizó del la cepa "Waka" , el anterior lo tengo igualmente documentado en otro diario . en esta ocasión cultivamos los clones que habíamos recolectado del cultivo pasado , guardando los fenotipos que nos gustaron más y los clones restantes los pasamos a floración que fueron los que se le hizo seguimiento en este diario. El crecimiento fue bastante explosivo y reaccionaron muy bien a cada trasplante realizado . pude observar que los clones de cada fenotipo seleccionado se desarrolló con mucha similitud al de sus madres . El olor en vegetación es bastante discreto y en floración se pone un más intenso El desarrollo en floración fue explosivo generando bastante resina y se vieron muy hambientras . Al fumar se puede sentir un rico toque cítrico en las N° 4 se siente un fuerte sabor a limón en algunas flores mucho mas marcado que en otras, N° 3 y 13 un agradable toque a naranjas muy rico de sentir en el paladar , La N° 8 con pizcas dulces bastante interesantes. El humo al fumar es muy suave lo que permite sentir mejor el sabor de cada fenotipo.- saludos y buenos humos😉 Al momento de cosechar se cortaron los clone y se dejo secando en oscuridad a temperatura ambiente por cerca de 16 días posterior a eso se pasó a curar en frascos
