Mine was a feminized autoflower. I'm not sure how that translates to breeding a regular male. I'm very pleased with the effects of the Northern Lights strain and it was easy to work with as far as LSTing the plant. Since it was an autoflower I never topped or fimmed it. Having said that I...

The whole thing with this plant was funky. It was stunted from the get-go. I topped it once outside and instead of branching it started flowering. 1st time I'd seen foxtailing, buds growing on top of buds. Maybe I'll get 1/2 to 3/4 Oz off of it. Strange seeing most of the cola with ripe...

Today's bounty, the JillyBean stalk.

Rik, sorry I never got back to you about my seedstock. I took them out of their packages and the only one I know was the auto-fem Northern Lights from Nirvana. Just now finished washing the JillyBean and Maui Wowie and have them hanging. Amazing the amount of dirt accumulates on outdoor...

Imma gonna harvest 4 this weekend and I'll only have 1 more that's about week 5 of flower. Quantity is gonna be small this season but I'm focusing on quality with RO water and using my pH and PPM meters more carefully. I'm also flushing more and washing the harvested buds.

I bought a lawn cart to move the pots around the yard. Protects them from rain as well as I can capture the morning and afternoon sun. Big Box store of your choice. Mine is a gorilla cart and very well made. As far as the smell I'd also like ideas. My backyard is pretty dank.

Curious to find out the dried weight of this small tree. Beautiful.

The Northern Light auto has gone thru it's life cycle quicker than normal seeds. Once they popped I put them into 5 gal pots outdoors. They started out fine but the veg cycle was faster than I expected, about 1 month. As a result they never got tall, only about 22 inches. I never topped...

Rik, I've got another Northern Lights auto, a White Widow, a Maui Wowie, a Very Berry OG and Jilly Bean. They're all pretty stunted this year for various reasons. Most should harvest in a few weeks except for the WW which is in week 4 of flower. Knock on wood but so far I've not...

I think of big leaves as big solar panels for the plant. However...... Given a choice I'll take big buds over big leaves.

Looks mostly clear to me as well. When you start seeing some brown trichs you'll be getting closer. I harvested a Northern Lights a few weeks ago and when I thought it was ready with about 20% brown trichomes, 20% clear and 60% milky.

I'm no expert. You're pistils are still white. I'd guess at least a coupla weeks. The truth is in the trichomes tho. Lots of swelling right up till harvest.

You're getting there. What strain is this?

What do the trichomes look like?

I feel for ya as I had to pull mine too early last year (my first harvest). I was leaving town and had time constraints It was still very good smoke but this year I planted early and I'm giving them time to fully mature, no matter how scrawny they look.

What I do is set the plant in a good position with room for my elbows and good light. Then I rest my elbows on the table, holding the microscope with both hands right up next to the bud to be examined. For the 60X I have to get right up with my face upon the bud. Once you're there, there's no...

Get a cheep pocket microscope from Amazon or Ebay and check for tricome change. That's how you tell for sure.

HAPPY 420 EVERYONE! I HOPE ALL CAN ENJOY A NICE HEAPING BOWL TO CELEBRATE.

Here's the thread on bud washing. Doc Bud's routine is post #12. https://www.420magazine.com/forums/harvest-preparation-and-curing/200881-bud-washing.html There's over 100 pages if you have time. Really makes sense. I used one bucket for the 'active' ingredients and two for rinsing...

Last night I chopped my Northern Lights, fem auto. It was a runt, stunted after I tipped over the 5 gal pot when it was young and dumped a coupla gallons of medium on the small seedling. It only grew about 18". Mindful this was my 2nd grow and I'm still a newbie. After the tricomes...
