Oregon legal reacreational northern lights grow first timer.

Day 60 comes to a close and all the problem i thought i had turned out to be pretty minor. Yay! Got some stakes on the way, might get heavy. Should be here thursday.

 

Good morning flower day 29. Issues in the box today are pretty simple i guess, the bag seed is a week or two behind the northern lights, they seem to have stopped stretching, she hasn't and is now the tallest plant in the box and gaining. The buds are clearly starting to fatten now and i'm seeing a yellowing on the bottom leaves, this is something i expected but not one month into flower. Thinking it might be just because i flushed them out real good to get rid of some nitro tox. not sure what i should do here because i was planning to switch to flower nutes for a couple weeks before final flush and now i'm not sure i should. These are supposed to be 8 week flowers but i've read it can be as little as 45 days or as much as 3 months depending on various factors.

 

Day 62, day 30 of flower. Thanks cap. I keep getting my days mixed up, pretty sure this is right. Fed them their first dose of flower nutes. 2t big bloom, 2tiger bloom, 1/2t calmag-plus and 1t unsulfured molasses per gallon(4 gallons) ph'd to 6.5, 800 ppm. Run offs were between 697 and 840. Removed a few dead leaves, mostly they all look real healthy. Not much else to say except i might be mistaken but i think they are not stretching much now and about the only thing growing is the buds. Starting to look fat and frosty. I keep doing a double take at these pics i just took wondering how the hell i grew that! One of the biggest is almost as long as my forearm and fist, it's going to be real nice if it gets much fatter.

 

As day 62 comes to a close i take my usual pics at lights out and holy crap i finally got a series of good bud shots instead of 5 out of 25.

 

I have been giving them a transitional nute mix the last month or so. They do look like they were getting a def though but i just assumed it was from all the flushing i've been doing. Hopefully this dose of nutes will keep em going //static.grscty.com//public/style_emoticons/default/stonedsmilie.gif. I wish i was a better photographer, i can't seem to do them justice with the camera. The box is starting to smell awesome too, it started out getting a dank musty odor like a bunch of weed sitting in an old dirty gym locker and now it's the same but with a lot less locker and a lot more weed lol. Considering blue dream and strawberry kush for my next run. Any suggestions? I'll only be doing 4 and i'm looking for good smoke that's at least decent yielding and in the easy to moderate growing ability range.

 

I'm really looking forward to the next run, there will be new problems but hopefully old mistakes won't be made again at least with any luck it will be even better on the next run.

 

Day 63 Ends uneventful, yellow is really starting to show and frost is definitely coming in. Still gnats in there, it's under control but most of the time when i open it i see one or two. I suspect they're getting through the coco croutons i lined the bottom with, next time i will use them they're great but i will also put a layer of sand in the pot above the coco croutons. Janice seems to be yellowing fast, i hope she's ok! Thanks for looking guys. //static.grscty.com//public/style_emoticons/default/stonedsmilie.gif

 

Yeah, they're working but it seems like there's almost always 1 gnat in the box, it's so annoying. i used 1/4 dunk broken up in the top of each pots soil, couple inches of perlite in the top of the pots and i watered with water that had dunk pieces in it for a couple days. The numbers are way way down.

 

Day 64, watered and got some more shots. The runoff ppm's were all around the 130 mark, plants need more food next time.

 

It makes me sad pulling this out of my box, i pull handfulls like this out two or three times a week now. hoping it's normal at this stage of the game. Barely more than 3 weeks to go!

 

3 and a half more weeks will put them at 8 weeks. I was expecting this just not this early, thought it started after the final flush.
