Dropastones Northern Lights #5 Grow Journal

kool. you going to add any side lighting at all? or just run your 1 light.

Nah, not right at the moment. Don't really have the cash to buy the lighting right now. I let em get way bigger than I originally wanted to. Next time I'm planing on running a soil sog. I got 10 clones going right that are starting to root. I plan on taking them and putting em in 1 gallon air pots. That should control the height and width. Next time I'm looking for an even canopy that will fill the whole grow space. Hmmm, we'll see what happens.

kool cant wait to watch along

nicenesssssss

Don't tease me with the gold and blue because we could probably make that happen. Haha

Thanks for the kind words bro.

Peace.

Quick update.

Anybody got any ideas what this could be?

looking good. wish i knew what was wrong with your plant. i have the same problem.

Sup man, just found this grow after lurking the club 600 thread, those ladies are huge! Have you done this strain in regular pots to compare them to smart pots? I see a lot of people getting awesome results. The look great my friend.

What's up man, this is my second round with these smart pots and the strain, so I can't give you a comparison. I can tell you that I really like the pots though. Thanks for stopping by.

Peace.

First off, i have spent the entire morning tracking the evolution of this grow space. GOOD WORK! I noticed throughout these threads that you keep shying away from the idea of RO because you cant get the correct pressure. My outdoor container grow was on a property with a well, and that was the only water source( shit sucked). my 100GPD filter was more like a gallon per day with the pressure from the well. I then discovered pressure boosting pumps for RO systems. The one that I bought got me up to 55 psi and came with a 70 psi shutoff switch. There is a ton of waste water with RO, but the good news is that you can route the waste water back to the well, so that you don't lose it. I was able to keep 50gallons of clean water at the ready at all times. Just thought that might be able to help when you get back to hydro(if you go back). Keep it up bruh!

I'm aware of the booster pumps and I'll definitely have to get one when I go that route. Thanks for your input and stopping by.

Peace.

Tried to get a little artsy here, if that's what you want to call it. This is some of the NL#5 that's been curing since Dec 18th. It doesn't have near the crystallization that I'd like but I believe this next round is gonna be much better. I through my pipe into the mix, which I call old faithful. Many a bowls have been smoked through her.















28 day update tomorrow night.

Peace.

nice looking bud and pipe

Looks like I have some deficiency problems. I'm sure it's calcium or magnesium. I've upped the mag pro but I haven't seen much improvement. I was also wondering if it could be the light just bleaching the leaves.

There's a night and day difference between these two phenos. One has got big dense colas and the other is looking like it's a cpl of weeks behind the other with airy not so dense colas. Looks like I've found my keeper pheno.

Anyways on with the show.

wow your girls are looking nice. im about 1/2 weeks in flower behind you and my buds arent even close to the size of yours.

Yeah this strain will put out some fat colas. I had to leave one in the closet to photograph because the branches can't support the weight. Most of em are leaning against the wall. I got some bamboo stakes on the way to help support it. That 3x3 space is just to small for both those plants. I'm seriously considering setting up a third room for my 400 watter. If I can pull that off, I'll be set for a solid perpetual grow. Room 1 for seedlings, clones, mothers and Veg. Room two 400 watt flower and room three to finish em off under the 600.

sweet. you going to run your 2 flower room opposite of each other, like 1 durring the day and 1 at night. so same hours.

I'm still in the planning stages on the third room but I would probably have them on the same light schedule so when I move them from room to room they won't skip a beat.
