Northern Lights LST Grow - 7 Weeks Flowering - Pics!

Hi everyone,

I don't know if anyone will remember me but I haven't been around in a few months due to work, social life and other modern pressures :) Anyway, I thought I would share a few pics of my 2nd grow with you. You can check out my first grow from the link in my sig.

I had planned to do a whole grow log with this one but I got too lazy ;) But
the veg and early flowering stages are boring anyway so who cares.

Set-up:

Grow Tent
400w HPS w/ cooltube
Biobizz Nutes
Biobizz All Mix Soil
3 x Sensi Seeds Northern Lights (I had 10 originally but only 3 turned out to be female).
100 x bent up clothes hangars to stake the plant down in veg

That's my gear, here are the results. I took the pics as I was flushing, hence why it's in my bathroom. You can see all my gear, tent, lights etc in the other thread.

I'd be really interested to hear any of your comments or if you're noticing something I'm not. I'd expect these babies to be harvested within the next 2 weeks or so! :-) W00t!

hello mate,nice plant heads look a little blue sensiseeds are my fav and northern is my favorite bud well done dude:stoned: :thumbsup:

I think the blue colas are just down to the flash, they look normal in reality. The close-up pictures aren't blue I think :) Cheers for the comment haze :thumbsup:

hmmmm your plants look very healthy but seems rather small, how far is the plant from the glass tube?

you should be able to get within 8" or less using a cool tube from the tops, also what size are the pots as this alone plays a huge factor.

That looks like some high grade... You could enormously increase your yeild if you implement CO2. It will increase yeild by 25% to 50% and it will cut a day or two out of flowering. I use the yeast and sugarwater method and it works great. I put it in and 3 days later they were growing rediculiously fast. You could see where the buds were expanding by all the light green new growth... trust me try it out

Hey Zoidberg,

Looking good! Today is the first day I've been on here for about a month and a half. How about a 4/20 Harvest? :thumbsup:

holy crystaly green motherload! Lookin good man! Enjoy it when its done for the rest of us here:jointsmile:

Ohh nice, I'm gonna grow 6 Northern lights! wish me luck!

Gosh those are sexy, may I have sexy time with them? :rastasmoke:

Cheers for the comments folks.

Earthy - That link you posted doesn't work but I might look into C02 at some point.

Invision - Yeah, I know what you mean, they do look a little small. I think that's down to 2 factors. First, I probably could have vegged them longer because of the LST. Secondly, the pots are not as large as those I used before. To be honest, I took a much more laissez faire approach to this grow. I wasn't as obsessive as my first grow.

Still, I'm quite pleased with the results, nice and crystally :)

Jedi - 4/20 harvest? It's a possibility.

The weather is starting to get good over here and I'm nearing harvest. It's going to be a great Summer :pimp:

damnnnn look at all those colas!!! happy harvesting!:rastasmoke:

oh my I cant wait for my northern lights seeds to come in especially after seeing that.

LOL the funny-dissappointing thing that happened was that all 5 seeds popped and are showing their roots at the surface, the plants are upside down. The weird thing is it looks like the roots have cloriphyl and are recieve light

Hey folks, here's a little pictorial update on my grow.

Trichomes still look cloudy/clear. Not much amber yet. Then again, I bloody hate this bit. I find it difficult to see the trichome colouration with my 30x microscope. Either way, most of the pistils are still white so I'm thinking it will be another week at least. Shame because I could have continued to feed these plants for another week. Still, the larger fan leaves are yellowing so they're using up all their stored nutes!

This grow isn't as pungent smelling as my last one but the buds are sticky-icky and covered with crystals. One weird thing is that the plant that looks furthest along has softer, squishier buds but the other two have rock-solid indica buds. I found this a little weird, anyone had the same experience?

Anyway, here's some pics of the three plants. They might look a little sad but they just needed some water :) Anyone care to guesstimate when I'll be harvesting these babies?

Little update.....

Still producing a lot of new white hairs, trichomes appear to be clear/cloudy. Little to no amber just yet. I took a sample from a small, underdeveloped lower bud and it was pretty good. I'm going to take another small sample today and see how we're doing. They look beautiful though, sprinkled with crystals. Gotta love it!

Gimme some replies damn ye!

:thumbsup:

Edit: 62 days flowering so far.....

I bet you got atleast another week or 2 to go .
Most pistils will have gone red / orange and then start checkin trichcome colors .
Peace

Sexy plant, Zoidberg. :thumbsup:

I thought Northern Lights was an 8 week strain??? 62 days and counting? Is this a different cross?? Or is it because of the LST? Did you LST in flower?


The Fog :rastasmoke:

Well we're at 69 days (since I changed the lights so you could knock off 2 weeks for flowering time) and still mostly white pistils. This is taking forever. I'm getting a little worried now that I stopped the nutes way too early.

Actually, this entire grow has taken forever.

Greenfog, I stopped LSTing in veg. Even so, I probably could have vegged for way longer. I actually vegged for 70+ days. It's standard sensi seeds northern lights. I suppose realistically, they have only been in flowering mode for 8 weeks but still, I wanna chop 'em down before the lack of nutes has a detrimental effect. Otherwise, trichome production is still going strong and I'm pretty happy with the way its been going.

Pictures soon!

Thanks for all your comments folks.

those are some nice looking girls, man :thumbsup:
