I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice as to when I should put my lights 12/12 and get out of the 24/0 veg?

this is day 2 for the clones under a 600hps + 150hps Room has great ventilation. :D
my temps are always around 79 and my humidity is around 20-25%. is this ok for such new clones?

I spent lots a time on building the room and investing in quality product and I have great expectations.. some new friends to come along for the ride would be sweet.. I don't want to cut corners and obviously want max yields. I am open to all and every comment or suggestions from the boards community.

Thanks to all who guide me to an efficient productive grow. Id like to make the best out of my new bloom room and northern light clones. [/COLOR]:jointsmile::thumbsup:

I ended up doing 12/12 right away for a small SOG style.

Im only using half strength on nuts and with work them up to full strength.
I feed twice a week and water as needed...


Here are the pics now at day 8.

Nice grow ya got going on there:thumbsup:, but i luv the NL. I have a NL#5 flowering now. It was a clone from its mother i had re vegged outside. The mother got sick and did not get anything from it, but im sure glad i took the clone before the mother got sick. Not that i didnt have issues with the clone, but she's looking fine now and buds are growing nice for me.

Here is a pic of mine, il be watching your grow for sure:thumbsup:. I haven't tried anything as good as the NL as far as taste and pain relief. And the smell is outta this world for sure.



:rasta:

[henrybemis]

I swear I just smelled that off my computer screen...must be the new scratch n sniff technology

[sexysmoker9]

Thanks letsseeya It's def a great smoke.. I am very excited to see how both our NL grows turn out. I'll be adding more pics as the days go on. Good look on your grow, hope we both get great results!

Btw, as far as later bud development, what nutrient additives non-organic, (plant steroids) are you using? any recommendations?

[sexysmoker9]

letsseeya i forgot to ask... What is your average yield per clone??

[sexysmoker9]

LST @ one week 12/12

[sexysmoker9]

Hoping these lovely NL ladies explode..
Moving up to reg nut strength...

Just got some ooze bloom (expensive), any one have any luck with this?
I wont start using it until mid flower.

I am considering molasses as well...

do I leave them tied down the entire grow or remove ties mid way??

thanks for the help, pc

[sexysmoker9]

this was the mother of the clones, about mid summer.

[sexysmoker9]

2 weeks 12/12
the girls are getting big. what yall think??

[greg1317]

honestly i wouldnt have gone 12/12 already. Even if your doin sog you should have let the plants get bigger than that unless you have a super low ceiling. Looks like with the amount of room you have you could have let them grow a lot more. I'm growing 6 plants right now in a 33inX33inX6ft cabinet. I let them get to about 18-20in before i flowered. You can expect a plant to double or so in size from the start till end of flower. Usually with the most growth being seen in the first three weeks. I also topped my plants when they were about 4in tall (when they had 4 or 5 nodes) which gave me twice the tops. Topping isn't a good practice if your doing sog because the plants get too bushy but a real sog grow could have as many as 15 plants in an area like mine. With the amount of plants you have you could have topped them and let them get much bushier. You can take a look at my grow log and see that even after a week i'm showing significant signs of flowering. At this point my girls are 2 weeks into flower and the flowers are very visible. I will have pictures of that posted tomorrow if your interested in looking.

[greg1317]

actually i just posted new pics in my log so you can see how far along my plants are at 2 weeks.

[sexysmoker9]

Yeah greg I agree I could have waited a little longer, but I am liking what i see.
I did some Lst my first 2 weeks, so I have more than enough tops going on.
your grow is looking good man.. thanks for checking mine out.

I just picked up some
CalMag plus and Tiger Bloom to add to my nute feeds

[sexysmoker9]

best plant at 24 days 12/12

when will the buds start to fill out?

[sexysmoker9]

day 52 lookin good

[sexysmoker9]

took them on day 53 now the drying process
what a tediouse job, trimming
what do you guys think about yield.. 3-4 zips.. ?

[Cabighed]

Look like the sativa dom side of NL. You scope em? Didn't look ready in the day 50 pics. That's all water under the bridge, now, anyways. Dry it up and smoke it! Lonely now that they are gone isn't it?

[sexysmoker9]

it really is cabiged... but i got some jock horror seeds from nirvana..
round 2 will be done true SOG with 1 gal pots..

quick question if anyone knows the answer..
becuase thee buds are on the "airy" side should that cut the dry time?

[TANKJR]

Probably. If the stem snaps when you bend it 90 degrees, it's ready for a jar. How much did you spend on nutes for that grow? All you need is molasses...my last AK47 vegged 4 weeks and then I flipped it to 12/12 and the tops are as big as my two fists stacked and dense as a rock. Cost me $2 in nutes for 4 months worth of pain relief. No roots, no buds...takes a month to get roots even from cloning, not 8 days...just sayin...you spent way to much money to get those little fluffy buds.
