    Ive started up my grow again im growing northern lights auto from queen seeds in organic soil that i mixed up.
    My setup as follows

    Dr60 grow tent
    Veg for first week with 85w cfl then swap over to a 250w mh or hps in the passed ive used mh but im thinking of going straight to hps until i order a led grow light. Id like to hear what other people have done?

    4" extract fan with carbon filter
    passive intake
    2x small circulating fans
    Lightly watering with filtered water seaweed extract ph to 6.5

  4. have no idea yet!
    next soonest available space in my tent is going to be 6-8 weeks until I can think about any new seeds to start. and even than I have a god size list of strains I'm already anticipating starting.... may be a good 6 months or a year until I get to thinking about the NL. on the other hand, maybe yours will look so wonderful I'll have to push the NL up to the top of the list..... LOL who knows! :)
    my "problem" is i have over 30 strains of seeds I have yet to even try yet - I can only grow so many at a time. and each time I make and get a seed order I add to the number of strains that get backlogged to try. lol

  5. i love your avatar!!!
    i grew up on a farm with holstein cows so just seeing a black and white bovine face is making me smile!!!! :) :)
    we usually had anywhere from 500-750 head at a time so your pic kinda gives me the warms and cuddles feeling lol
     
  6. Tell you what my brother, I hate to see a guy having a "problem" so just PM for address and you can send some over here to ease your decision making choices .... I can take one for the team and help you out ....

  7. NL has to be my favorite strain.
    I myself grow NL but photos not autos. Figure one of these days my old ass would get into the times and try them anyway. There a really good strain to grow, good yeilds and the high is one of the best I've had for what I smoke for.

  8. I have the same opinion. If there was only one strain left on earth, I hope it's NL.

    This strain as an auto is on my to do list. I'll be watching the grow.

  9. Boy if you have the Ol skool NL then its really amazing. I don't think I've smoked any of that since the mid-late 90's lol.... I can't wait to see how this plant goes -I am currently fascinated by autos. In the PNW if you could have a truly good auto strain it would be awesome as our weather can really turn late season. I just cracked a few autos myself and 3 of them are reg. - I'm definitely going to pollinate a branch or two if I get a good male and see what those beans do. crossing fingers :)
     
  10. wow, i'm overwhelmed by your generous offer! I'll have to give that some thought.....

    hmmm, you know, i REALLY appreciate the willingness to take one for the team and help out but really, it wouldn't be fair for me to off-load my excess workload on someone else.
    sigh... the drudgery continues. That's ok, i'll shoulder the load and handle the burden on my own. wouldn't want to put someone else through the same problems. wouldn't be fair.
    i'll carry on bravely on my own.....

    :) :) :)

    Week 1

    1" high

    Maybe thinking of keeping it under the cfl until it gets slightly bigger looking like she is still building her root structure. 20200110_174924.jpg 20200110_174920.jpg 20200110_174929.jpg

    Does anyone think she would be better with the 250w MH. Trying to stick to to the CFL to keep electric down.

  13. Your seedling is looking good, I would use the 250w MH or both.
     
  14. I have an auto NL that sprouted Jan 2nd. Mine is a freebie. It’s been many years since I’ve tried NL. Yours is looking good. :)

  17. Black Gold organic with 25-30% perlite. I also add amendments depending on what stage. I use Dr. Earth nutes. Veg and herb for veg and flower girl during flower. I’m going to be transplanting in the next few days. Then they go under my qb96’s.
