Ok been looking around site and seen a post which said MH was better during veg however i read somewhere else it dosent really matter can someone put my mind to rest please in which is better during veg.
Also my tray has got too small now so for tonight i have just spaced them out on some paper just till the mornig so i can get more trays




I have aslo notice a few leafs look a bit pale in parts any ideas please ?

hey i got 9 nl girls 2 weeks in now also. Looking good in 4 inch rw cubes in an ebb and flow. Also i got 2 mazar afghans going and 1 bagseed. It is noce to see the diference in the genes. NL looks to be the bushiest. Cant wait. Good luck to you.

i have Northern Lights myself and unless you like premie buds, they wont be ready by x-mas. sorry to dissapoint. my NL takes 9 1/2 wks to flower if i dont use Bushmaster, 8 wks if i do. besides cloning, which has been a bitch, the NL does pretty well. oh yeah, i had to get a magnesium supplement cause i was gettin deficient so keep a close eye and youll catch it before it gets bad. im gonna watch this one.

eharmony, you got a journal? i wanna watch others with NL do thier cloning because ive had tons of problems cloning my NL and ive cloned TONS before successfuly.

Sorry guys made a boo boo with all the links....i think however all sorted now. Would it be better to attatch the pics or is it ok linking them?
I was so hoping they would be ready for xmas but hey never mind, im not going to harvest this crop early like my first

are you gonna be taking clones when the time comes?

Probably not, i will move on to a different strain from seed, i fancy something like blueberry maybe

WOW those are looking great!!! subscribed =D

i will start one soon I am not cloning yet, they need a couple of weeks. Bout 2 weeks in. You might be able to see I had a few complications, these are the first ever in rw i have done and my first real grow. Dont let my post #s fool you, lol. NL and Mazar afghan and 1 bag seed.

Ok so its been some time since last post, and alot has happend since then. (a bit of catch up) Its been 5 weeks from gemination (22nd nov 0 and there approxamatly 12-14 inches so i think its time to get them into flower. I decided to give 4 away to my friend as they was really getting outta hand, since then found out that 2 of the 4 i gave him was male (lucky guess i gave them to him)
Heres the four i have left.



26 November 2008

Ok its amazing how fast these are getting tall coz in the last 96 hours they must of gone up 4 inches easy, but they look a little stretched. Oh well they should be ok.



28 November 2008

The four i have left are all 100 percent females !!! RESULT been a total of nearly 7 weeks from germination to be at this point and the hard work has paid off.



3 December 2008

Heres my babys in all there glory, you can blatently see all the bud sites, they look good, the leaves look healthy and green.



6 December 2008

Ok right up to date now, these are the latest shots nearly 3 weeks into flowering. Id say they have about another 6-7 weeks to go before harvest.
What do you think ?



BudShot EXTREAME CLOSE UP !!!



More installments to come. I hope you can understand all the dates but basically since germination on the 18th of october 2008 till the 6th of december 2008 these are the results do far.

they look good man, stretched a bit like you said, but good. check out my journal for progress pics for NL, i think i have pics of the full run if you look.

Looking good, Risky. 6 or 7 weeks sounds about right.

Wow, they look really good =) my plants stretched like that the first time .

Thanks guys What would of caused the stretching do you think ? I started from seed so once they popped up i put them in heated propagator under 4 flourescent tubes and left them on 24/24 for 2 weeks. Then under 600w MH 18/24 for a further 2-3 weeks, finally went under 600w HPS 12/24, but it seemed like the stretch happend when they was under the MH

Anyway there seems to be plenty of bud sites and they seem very stable and happy atm
