2nd grow Northern Lights....mother of 4

Aww yeah. Now THAT'S what I'm talkin about. Those wash tubs are great for big trees, especially with the built in handles, when it takes 2 people to carry the damn thing around!
I'm also wondering if you had a seed mix-up. When flowering is complete, compare the dates to the expected flower time as stated by the vendor, and if there is more than a couple weeks' difference, I'd send them a note requesting seed replacement in light of the fact that that doesn't look like NL, and NL is supposed to be pretty damn quick. Which means someone at the seed vendor was schmokin on da job that day, lol!

alrighty, as for the website it says 7-10 weeks flowering and mostly indica for the NL seeds. the last one i thought was ready at 9 weeks but let it ride until ten because i didn't have a microscope.

but the treee def seems to love the extra rooom to spread its roots. wrong seeds or not, at least they ship and its pretty quick. NL was on sale so if recieved anything different it probably would have cost more anyways haha.

nothing to do now, i am pretty excited about the next order of seeds. might do ak-47, blueberry, or white rhino.....
and yes that tub is fun to move with 1 or 2 people..sike

more soon....

sorry those pics shrunk........fixed it

Lookin' good Blunt! I was gonna go with BM as an acronym but I'll stick with Blunt, you know, because of the whole poop thing. :)

Pretty sure we're not allowed to link to breeders/seed shops but I think it's all right to talk about them? (Stinky, if I'm wrong here, go ahead and delete this)

Anyway, Mandala Mike (and Jasmine) has received nothing but good reviews of hearty, potent, uniform plants throughout the line. That's where I'm off to next, probably grabbing some hashberry, satori, sadhu, and maybe some speed queen.

Also, their prices are about the same as anything from Nirvana (cheap!)

A google search will help find lots of info about Mandala Seeds.


(I'm not in any way affiliated with any seed banks/breeders, just relying on strong recommendations and amazing photos from many happy growers across the internet)

thanks simon, seems he's ill though (get well)
also any other good sites? i did see that other sites offer other breeders seeds but who to trust i don't knw.... also they must deliver to the medium sized continent immediately west of Europe.

blunt def works! you could just call me master...HAHA jk:jointsmile:

ok so how about a watering question for you pros out there. i have 2 fets that can be used during veg. and 5 for flowering. they are as follows.

fox farm grow big (veg)
fox farm big bloom (organic used during both veg. and flowering.)
fox farm tiger bloom (flowering)
fox farm open sesame(flowering)
fox farm beastie bloomz(flowering)
fox farm cha ching(flowering)

while i have been mixing these up in separate containers and using them pretty liberally, i have always keep them separate. i was wondering if i should mix them together with they water in larger batches. i.e 1 for veg. containing both grow big ang big bloom. and one for flowering containing tiger bloom big bloom and one of the other (which ever it is time for(each of the last there are for early flowering, mid, and last respectively))

starting enjoy this forum more now thanks guys:stoned:

Do you have stock in Fox Farm or what, bud? :)

That's a ton of nutes, and that's fine (although not economical for me:smokin:)

I'm sure you could mix the (half strength each) grow big and big bloom, but the question is: why?

It sounds like you've got 'em separate and you're alternating products at feeding, which is exactly what I would do. I'm sure most would say the same, but maybe not.

However, I think you'd do just as well with only one or the other. Don't take my word for it though as I've never used FF nutes, do some more searching for those doing the full FF routine.

Personally I would do mini-experiments on a couple of plants of the same strain with different nutes to see exactly what results are more preferable, or just see what other FF people do ;)

haha thanks man. i have been holding them separate since i started but i hate having like 6 jugs haha. anyways actually the hydro store i use i great they give me free shit all the time. thats how i got the nuts.

right now im mixing every feeding.

mother: gets food every other watering and is fed 3/4 grow big /water mixture 1/4 bigbloom/water mixture

clones in flowering: same (food every other watering) they are fed 4/10 water/tiger bloom/hygrozyme mixture, 4/10 water/open sesame mixture, and 2/10 big bloom organic/water mixture

the tree: same(food every other watering). also same as clones except they get 4/10 beastie bloomz instead of open sesame.

note: the clones and tree are moving up one notch in the flowering ferts. clones to beatie bloomz and the tree to cha-ching.

thats pretty much all.

couple pictures.....

one is a picture of one of the 3 flowering clones. each are pretty much identical. 2ft 8 in tall.

the other are of the grow room.
is from outside. you can see 2 of the 3 clones(flowering) on the left and the tree on the right.

the other picture is of the light, the 6in inline fan, and 6in ducting that runs from the light into the attic.

Woowwww, lookin' good! I've got a BB that's stretchin like your gal there. Are you planning on potting up yet before you get too far into flowering? I think she might benefit from a 4-5 G. Is that a 1 gallon?

edit: Yeah, that third pic makes it clear you need to get some bigger containers! The general rule of thumb is 1 gallon of container space to 1 foot of plant height.

Remember, more root mass = more buds :)
