Puffdatchronic's White Label Northern Lights Grow Journal

Awesome work Puff!! Can't wait to see what she produces in comparison to the ones I am growing from Nirvana Seed Company. Yours looks to be pure indica whereas mine is a hybrid (75% indica/25% sativa). Keep up the good work brother!

Thank chip and mo ,yeah the stem is pretty sturdy for a small plant, and thanks yank ,yeah I think she is full indica to. she is really working flat out to get bigger, every day the stem seems a bit bigger and the side branches seem a bit further out. shes also stretching like mad. Glad I put her in flower early. The smell is getting strong, some might say that's a good thing, but I'm getting a little worried, Lemon skunk didn't even smell this much this early. Time to get my arse down to the hydro shop and get some ona me thinks. Just thought i'd throw up another pic as I forgot to get the white hair photos yesterday.Next update will be Friday when it will be 12 days flowering.

Hey puff what's the general cost of the ona gel that you use? Wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run to hit up amazon and get a fan/ carbon filter combo? They are around $100 bucks. I just seems if your gunna grow for a while it would be worth the investment. Great grow btw ill be checkin in often!

It's about 20-30 dollars a jar that lasts about 3 weeks. Yes it would save money in the long run but there's 2 factors that prevent me. A- It would ruin my stealth, they are loud and a constant whooshing noise from my bedroom would give it away. So I really just look for low odour strains and have been lucky so far ,I took a chance with the lemon skunk and it didn't smell too bad though it wasn't really low odour. And B- My gf wouldn't allow it anyway, it would look like I was turning the place into a factory in her eyes so she would get pissed off and tell me to just grow the c99 again...

Ona gel really doesn't work unless you build an ona filter. You can sit as many tubs of it out as you want, but if the air is not being pushed over it, it doesnt work.

And an ona filter makes noise.

If you can smell the plant outside the grow area, you have a problem.

The ona does work that's why I use it.. it evaporates into the atmosphere without needing to be agitated, though agitating it with a fan helps the dispersion and makes it better ,also makes it run out faster. My set up is unique anyway, as we are talking about 1 plant ,in a non exhausted closet in a bedroom with the door closed.. whatever smell escapes from the closet then has to escape the bedroom. So I just leave the ona outside the closet door and it kills any smells that happen to linger out.

Hey man, as with most things in this hobby ya do what works for ya!

absolutely man, each to their own and all that ..here she is today.. got a little bit of an issue going on , the top couple of sets of new fan leaves came in with light green tips. It has been stable for a few days now and isn't spreading. Not really sure what it is ,but shes fine . Also she's up to 21 inches tall now usually stretch I over after 3 weeks flowering so I imagine this girl will finish stretching between 25 - 30 inches. The smell has actually got weaker , she's still stealthy in the closet and now she not giving off the strong dank odour she was before, only when you move her or mess with her then it comes back.

Very nice!!! Looking nice and full for sure!

Looks good to me! If the yellowing is only at the top, it might just be an adjustment to the light/light cycle in flower. Don't recall - do you use the same light in veg and flower? Is the light a bit too close?

Still watching. =) Looks healthy.

Oh btw, glad to hear her odor has toned down a bit. Let us know when she becomes noticeable outside your closet again. =)

indeed!! it looks beautiful!

Your girl is looking magnificent Puff, beautiful colour and really nice structure! She's going to produce some stellar buds bro

damn bro...apologies as I just found this

She looks great dude. Have you given her any ca/mg yet? Also, I'm curious how the cured Cindy is smoking? Mines coming up on three weeks in the jars.

Yeah I use a 250 watt hps light the whole way, it's duel spectrum though so it's for veg and flower and does an excellent job imo. The light isn't too close she's short enough that I can keep it at the sweet spot. I have never heard of it being a reaction to the light cycle.. interesting theory.

Thanks bro, yeah I put it down to the duel spec bulb I think..

Hi kite no need to apologise man ,there's too many threads to keep track of them all. How is your cindys doing? Btw I notice your not on my buddy list anymore.. maybe that's why you haven't seen this yet.. I don't know what's up with that, I don't recall falling out with you lol

My cured cindy is non existent i'm afraid : ( Got a few grams of cindy popcorn left and Its all gone. 2.5 ounces gone in 2 months. The smoke right now is awesome. Super smooth and still the same potency with every night usage. The high is so good. I made the mistake of smoking some and going out for a walk during the day. You only realise in that situation just how high this stuff gets you. But as an evening smoke it puts you in your own little bubble that is very enjoyable, and I sleep like a puppy on this stuff to. Got 2 more cindy beans and I can't wait to grow them, going to grow both of them untopped or trained side by side and flowered early like this nl. As for the nl, I have gave it a small dose of magnesium just at the 10 day mark and will give one more at 21 days, i'm wondering if this is the reason I haven't got any yellow leaves at all yet or not.

Lookin great Puff

I am rolling from PL-L lighting in veg to 1000W HPS in flower and I see lime green to yellow on new growth on some of my plants in the transition. I am learning that I have to ease them in by starting on the floor, out of direct light until they adjust. Then I can incrementally raise them up slowly to canopy level and into direct light. Doesn't sound like this would be an issue for you though.

well, I'm a little bored today ,so I decided to take a few more shots, lol. I think this is day 17 of 12/12 and day 10 since pre flowers. Since I flowered her so early I think I will count flowering from pre flowers showing, though i'll play it by ear.

She's 1.5 inches shy of 2 feet tall now so nearly 5 x stretch.. I'm so happy that my gamble has worked ,she will stop stretching soon and be a very very nice size for my area. I didn't just do it blindly either ,I have noticed nearly every strain I have done so far has stretched more than 2x or 3x .. it's always 4x - 6x.

2 feet is perfect for a 250 watt light so I figured flower at 5 inches and end up with the height I want, and it worked.. This is also a lesson for anyone growing in small areas. Flowering early does work, it does not reduce bud sites or mess the plant up at all.. of course growing a 6 foot tall plant will yeid better if you got the light to back it up, but if your working with less light, less height is the way to go. So hopefully 2.5 weeks veg and 60 days flower ,seed to smoke in 75 days, and auto flowers take how long?, like a week less, just do it this way.

I gave her a ml more grow today than normal (2ml/pl), I just kind of felt like she could green up a bit more, but i'll be watching closely . She also got 2ml/pl of bloom. Ps I haven't went with the bio heaven this time and absolutely no difference, if anything this plant is healthier than anything I've grown with the heaven supplement.
