looking good there chester - i find they start honking more when the trichs appear :) give it another week or so and you should start noticing the good stuff on the bud leaves.
Hello again.
Photo update for you all, as promised. All seems to be going well.
Week 4 of 12/12 and week 14 overall.
They are taking a lot more water/nutes now, and are starting to plump up at the top mainly, although the flowers at the bottom have started well, despite being further away from the lights.
I've noticed some yellow speckles on one of the plants, so I am going to flush with water only, next watering. I'm not majorly concerned about it, being 4 weeks into flowering, but I'll have to keep an eye on it.
Space is becoming a major concern really. Every time I'm in there and am moving things around (turning plants, watering etc), I feel like it's all very heavy handed. Leaves intertwine and are in danger of snapping branches, so I'm having to go very carefully. Clearly the more space the better. Some of the pictures on here though it looks as though people are squeezing way more than 3 plants in, in much smaller spaces, so maybe I have a lot to learn in terms of pruning, LST'ing etc, in order to get the maximum yield from the minimum space.
Anyway, enjoy the photo's. Comments, advice and suggestions all greatly welcomed. Thanks.

They're looking nice :)
Dont feel bad, I physically can't get to the whole backside of my plants at all. I wont see back there until harvest.. So you're doing well!
Thanks MisterE.
So it's ok to just leave them growing; that's good to know because I was getting worried about damaging them any more than I have done already. In an ideal situation it would be better to turn them though, yes?
Because they are potted seperately, I lift them right out of the room when watering, although I do have a tray set up underneath the pots to catch any run off. I've pretty much been flushing them every watering (in the bath!) just to eliminate any potential problems. Seems to be working.
Anyway...can't stop looking at them every day now...sniffing the flowers, staring at trichs. The whole experience, so far, has been fascinating, good fun and, with any luck, will have a really nice ending! :rastasmoke:
Cheers for the reply. Feel free to post a pic of your grow.

Oh, yeah if I could rotate my plants I'd do it every day. Mine will be very uneven at harvest with some parts ripe and some not so much. I might try to stagger the harvest if it seems possible at the time. I'm not too picky though so we'll see.
I'm sorry Chester, what was that you were saying about space concerns?:D They look terrific btw!
hey chester, the trichs look nice for 4 weeks :)
Hi. MisterE...can you explain about staggering the harvest? Won't it all "ripen" at the same time? I'm not too picky either to be honest, but if there was a way to take off the large top flowers (without killing the plant) and keep flowering the smaller buds below, which would get more light with the larger buds removed, then I'd consider it.
Yes Weedhound, only three plants but the room is full! Lol! You were right about the growth although, maybe because I'm in there every other second "checking" stuff, I haven't noticed any dramatic growth, day-to-day. A "watched pot never boils" I guess! Woah, I made a joke! :stoned:
It's actually interesting looking back through my post here, at earlier photographs, to really appreciate how much they've come on but yes, they are monsters now really!
Emmpey, do you know how long I should flower Northern Lights for? Reading posts here it seems 8-10 weeks flowering is about right, in terms of optimum strength, although I'm quite happy to have a little more quantity rather than strength. Really nice crystally looking at the top though, all three plants.
I read that I should check the trichs to see if they are going cloudy. If 50%+ are cloudy, that would be the optimum harvest time, yes? Does it really matter though? Like, after 9 weeks flowering, I could just decide to pull the plug on them and still have some pretty good grass?
Thanks again for all the advice. Slight yellow spotting appearing on one plant tonight so will probably post a panic pic tomorrow. I had thought it was only a couple of leaves but on closer inspection it apperas to be affecting the whole plant. Update to follow...
Thanks again.

As promised, my panic pics about these cream/yellow flecks which have started appearing on one of the plants. I've noticed it has gotten worse the last couple of days. Anyone know what this is?
It's not on any of the other plants, and they have all been getting the same treatment.
Also enclosed a couple of updated pics of the room.
Would appreciate some advice on what that problem might be. Thanks again.
