northern lights

[Tupamaro]

am growing northern lights and wondering if anybody else has grown them before? kind of wondering on the yield.

great plant ... potent, very forgiving, easy to grow ... should stay about 30" tall, or so ... should flower about 8 weeks, watch the trichomes ... don't overwater ... has a pretty good yield, is frequently hybridized to sativa strains to keep their height down, and add yield ... under a 400-watt sodium, and 5-gallon pots, you should pull several ounces of dried, manicured bud, plus lots of shake left over for party joints or cooking .... overall, it's the plant I recommend a lot to growers ... :smokin:

thats actually my set up and all so that works out good, thanks a lot.

I gave a couple clones of those to a buddy, who placed them on a 'false floor' in his cabinet ... he set the 'floor' at a 30-degree angle, so the lamp flooded the top and sides of the plant at all times... he would rotate the pot every couple of days ... the photo shows the resulting heavy growth on the lower branches ... it's a Northern Lights/Cinderella99 hybrid ... :D

Your yield will depend your experience, too. Here's what this beginner got from one NL plant under 400 watts hps. It went into flowering mode at 15" after 5 weeks under a 400watt halide, and reached about 31". I never weight it, but she's been giving me plenty of memorable nights, which I forget the next day.

I am pleasantly stoned right now from Northern Lights. Good body stone, heavy but not drowsing, a little munchies-inducing.

If you're in it for cash, you may want to try Northern Lights x Big Bud. I've never tried it, but I've read it can be more lucrative and have NL qualities.

I agree about the side lighting, even you only use low wattage CFLs as fill. Every bit can help below a couple of feet where 400 watts of light drops off. I'm trying it this time around and getting bushier plants. Good luck.
