Puffdatchronic's White Label Northern Lights Grow Journal

Iv got two white label northern lights a few weeks from harvest. Two totally different pheno's, one I'd love to grow forever whilst the other is not a keeper. My friend has been growing white label northern for many years from cuttings and seeds. The one thing we both agree on is the pheno you want has light green almost lime green leaves, stretches a lot but is covered in crystal from week 2 of 12/12 and has hardly any fan leaves. I'm lucky to have one of those, hope you get it too. As soon as I can post a picture of the two/work out how to do it from an iphone I will. Your lady looks fine fella. I'm sub'd to this.

I think these are the right pictures.
Aww they looked great , I know it's easy to scrap plants when your feeling a bit emotional...done it myself. Btw, yes the height includes the pot and the light, 3.5 feet would be the optimum distance from the light ,though it could creep a bit further and be ok.

Being an indica, I was going to say that it wouldn't stretch nearly as much as the Cindy and to veg longer. After reading the posts from those that have run NL, I'm not sure now. I always thought that you let an indica veg a lot more before flipping. :?
Yeh ,very confusing for me. NL seems to have all these contradicting myths surrounding it. The breeders say it's compact ,but there's countless stories of it being a stretcher. If you google white label nl eu seed finder there is one report on that of a 15 cm plant flowered ending up at 130 cm.. Then there's the info about smell, some say it's THE low odour plant ,and some say it reeks, and actually even for such a young /small plant ,when you stick your nose up to it ,it's developing quite a strong scent already :cuss:

Looks good mate. Just to let you know i was weaving my NL for a few days into flower and it stretched about 6 inches when i let her go. Right now she is 16 inches from the base of the plant to the tallest stem. That being said i dont think the stretch has stopped yet
I think it will go about 4 weeks stretching man , though we can't really compare as scrogging will have a different effect on it..

Id either top it and let it grow a bit or keep growing and start training ger over now while she still has a semi pliable stem :)
This is reasonable, but I've decided I really just wanna let it go and see what it does naturally this time, next white label nl I do I'll top it and see what happens , I'll post it in this journal for comparison

Thanks for chiming in man, keep me updated on your progress. I don't think I have the pheno your talking about ,but this plant looks great so far so I have high hopes.

I think it's 3 weeks old today. Gonna stick it in flower now. It's 8 inches tall at this point ,some nice side growth and still really healthy and I have only gave it plain water so far, just going to show that a pre fertilised soil mix is plenty for a cannabis plant to live on for a good while, though I will start with 1ml/pl of grow once the stretching kicks in.Plenty of roots poking put the bottom so she is well established. This strain is absolutely beautiful

Awesome looking plant brother!! Check on the new photos I posted of mine this past Thursday. My uncut has stretched to 27 inches now. Also seems to be taking on more sativa like leaves which is surprising but the Nirvana strain is a hybrid after all. Can't wait to see what that little bushy beauty of yours ends up doing!!

Thanks mo :-P

I gave her a first feed yesterday 1 ml/pl of bio grow.. she has responded to it over night and greened up even more.. now i'm wondering should I even feed this girl every watering like the bottle says.. she's been in flowering a few days now and has stretched a lot already up to 11 inches now

Looks awesome brother! If your plant is anything like my uncut plant it has only begun to stretch. Mine stands 30 inches tall now but is finally slowing down. Fertilizing though has done wonders with bud growth so I would just keep feeding her if I was you.

Hey yanks and gd thanks dudes. Yeah I flowered her really early and it was a gamble, but I am nearly certain it will pay off with a plant that finishes at a manageable size for my closet. I will keep feeding her I think as it's organic nutrients anyway and won't burn her.

Looks very nice so far buddy. Just to let you know mine's 25 days into flower now and the smell is virtually non existant unless you agitate her :D

Pinch the main stem a few nodes from the top and it will focus on secondary growth for a few days. Should help with the stretch and when the stem heals it will be stronger.

Thanks everyone. Here she is in her natural habitat. ..up to 14 inches now and we have white hairs already... on to the smell, still stealthy with the closet closed can't smell anything ,but every time I open my closet up i'm getting hit in the face with a typical dank smell.
