Indoor Northern Lights Grow

Hey everyone.. This is my 2nd year grow. This is my first grow with quality seeds. The strain I chose is Northern Lights. I searched some threads on the site to find a good seed bank and found an EXCELLENT site.. So thanks guys!! Cannabis Seeds The Attitude Marijuana Seeds My order also came with 5 free Super Skunk seeds.

I ordered 5 feminized seeds and received them in 7 days. I germinated the seeds and 1 1/2 days later all five sprouted. I am verrrry pleased. Today I planted the sprouts and have them under 24/0 floros. This is going to be a soil grow and I am planning on getting Fox Farms Grow Big, Big Bloom, & Tiger Bloom for ferts. I will keep you all updated with pics throughout the grow! Any input on this strain would be appreciated!! Take is easy and keep on tokin'

I also have a few northern lights plants growing. Im on day 21, and let me tell you.. these plants are AWESOME! I have a couple bubble gum and big bud plants at well, but the NL are out growing them all. I didn't get feminized, but they sure do look like ladies (as far as i can tell without force flowering or covering a node.)

The NL that im growing seem to be able to take whatever comes their way. I had a calcium def early on, and most of the other plants started to yellow and brown but the NL kept right on pluggin away.

Happy Growing

From the Cannabible by Jason King: Northern Lights. Quite possibly the most famous marijuana strain in exisistence. NL a clone bred in the Pacific Northwest, is a highly inbred afghani. This classic indica strain was tweaked for over 20 generations before being released to the public, although it never became stable like Skunk #1. The plants grow short and compact, with a giant cola on top. While NL is highly adapted to indoor growing, fantastic outdoor batches also can be grown. Although this strain is incredibly resinous, I (author) usually find the flavor of NL to be a little lacking. The high, on the other hand, is not lacking at all. It is a typical indica high, narcotic and dreamy.

From High Times- Jose Cervantes: Rates NL5 as the third best strain he ever smoked.


NL5 from the CannaBible: NL5 is a crossing of a pure NL male with a NL (75%)/Thai (25%)female. The compact indica strain was bred for vigorous growth, high yield, and strength of high. This variety is incredibly resinous with a pungent sweetness that must be experienced to be believed. The Thai influence, as small as it is, has a wondrous effect on the NL mom. Subtle tones of flavor are noticeable with a longer cure (+3 months). The smoke is incredibly rich, especially for Amsterdam bud. These buds are extraordinary and exotic.

Hope the above info helps. Good luck.

It actually made my mouth water a little a bit...

I love the FOX FARMS LINE!!

I've heard alot of good things about Fox Farm products. Also thanks for all the info!! I've only smoked NL once and as I recall it was one of the best smokes ever. Today I checked on the Power Skunk seeds( the free ones i got with the NL order) and 3 of those sprouted!! I don't know much about this strain, but let's hope it's killer!!!

Can anyone tell me what you've yield per plantwith NL using a 1000 watt hps? Let me know veg time, soil, ferts ect.thanks!

Ketzlicka, have you tried the Search feature at the top of the page? Put in NL and I am sure you can read a LOT of threads. Are you using NL #5? If so then be sure and put that in the search box. Have fun. You can also try your Power Skunk in search too. Try going to say the indoor growing forum and look there at the stickies. Lots of good info there you want. Hope this helps out.

How is the smell? Is it stong? I've heard some people say that NL might be a good choice for a stealth grow

So far nothing.. Its still early for my grow though..

MichiganAero Let's see some photos drool...drool....I am interested in a NL5/Haze cross, sounds yummy huh? BTW, wasn't that Jose Cervantes in that new nationwide TV ad for Macy's christmas. Shows Donald trump, Martha Stewart etc. babbling on about virginia and santa claus. Then they show this mexican dude. Thought it might be Jose. LOL.

LolaGal, your wish is my command.. lol.

The first couple pics are after a few weeks...

The others are day 24... lotsa growth... the NL plant pretty much took over my garden.. That plant is bushy as HELL! I raised the light to try and get it to stretch a little so i can clone. But then again, its still pretty early for cloning.

The other plants were mostly bag seed, and im slowly moving them to my ebb and flow system to make room for the NL. I think I'm going to force flower the bag seed plants just to weed out M and F plants and get a little smoke while i wait for the mother load :)

Enjoy!

And yes, the NL5/Haze sounds delish. Unfortunately, I didn't see that commercial.. I'll see if i can find it on youtube. Thanks to the wonder that is tivo, i blur right by most commercials these days. :pimp: But then again, commercials arnt the only thing that isn't quite in focus :joint1:

michigan Aero: I am sooooo jealous. Those are some hot chicks, and I'm not even gay! Damn fine looking grow! Oh, I was stoned. Supposed to Jorge Cervantes, not Jose...haha

Thanks for the props! This is actually my first cannabis grow! Been growing fruits and veggies for a few years, thought, bud cant be much harder... Ha... not even close.. But thanks to the great advice here, its gone very well. Peace :hippy:

ohhhh man, Aero, those babies look awesome. I hope I can expect the same lush green bushes like yours!! My sprouts popped out of the soil 2 days ago and are about 1 or 2 inches tall, can't wait till they get their first true sets of leaves! How long did it take for yours to get the first sets? Lemme know!

Mine are the same size Ketlicka, Did you see that bushy rascal NL plant, prettiest gal I ever seen. Hope ours does the same thing don't u? You never did say if u got NL or NL5?

NL5/haze for me.

Be sure and save me a seed or two ya'll, hell, save me a bud or 2! :)



;)

Not long at all.. These pics are 9 days seeded in rockwool.. #'s 7 & 8 are NL5. They really started growing after that, but i erased the pics.. 2 1/2 to 3 weeks had a nice set of leaves..

cool dude i bought seeds from the same site you did and its the most legit site ive found. im 1 week from my first harvest and im SO excited for these nugs. good luck with your grow

the pictures above are of the plants @ 9 days old? after they germed?

hey jimbob, you should post some pics before u harvest! That site is frickin awesome!!! And lolagal, i ordered northern lights x skunk feminized, but when when i got them the baggy said just NOrthern lights, so I'm not sure if it's the skunk cross or original NL. But either way I'll be happy! And we should both post some pics through our grow and see if they match!! heh, well it's time to burn one later yall

sorry.. forgot to actually upload the pics...

whats goin on guys, it's been about a week and all 5 NL are looking good, about to pop out the first set of 3 bladed leaves. They are a lil tall from the flouros I think, so I moved them under my 400w hps for about 12 a day and then back to the fouros for 12. But the stems are holding the tops up firmly so Im not too worried. I'll have some pics of the little buggers soon! Later

Mine are only babies too. I got 2nodes already though....although they are microscopic!

I ordered cool device from Radio Shwag yesterday. It's a little $13 pocket microscope with light for looking at trichomes. Saw a post somewhere and decided to check it out. Looks like a bargain. Now I just need trichomes to drool over :)

Mine are a little stretchy too, may pop them under the MH like you're doing. Good idea! Got em on 24-0. Be glad when they get a little bigger so I can move them out of the bathroom. This is turning into a community thread of NL growers LOL. Glad to have met ya'll.

Just thought i would drop by and update ya on my NL progress...

Day 29.. woke up to find little white hairs on some of the lower clusters.. Pre-flower perhaps :)

I am soaking my rockwool today and am going to take some clones just to make sure tomorrow..

In the mean time, enjoy the pics!

they look really nice and healthy nl#5 is my favorite strain good job dude one thing i will say is nl likes a lot of nutes.good luck:thumbsup:

Hey all, Aero.. those look so good man. Keep up the great work! Here's a pic of my lil guys. Hopefully soon mine will take off like yours!!

Pic 1 and 2 are my NL
Pic 3 is my Power Skunk
Pic 4 is a Sativa that I didn't even know I had lol, but she's lookin decent but probley has another 4 or 5 weeks to go.

Day 8 of NLxSkunk

Ohh lil babies.. Looks just like what i had.

Here are some more pics from a lot better camera. I tried to get a picture of (what i think might be preflowering) but its hard to see in the photos.

First time cloning tomorrow.. wish me luck!

I like the last picture.. its kinda like my own mini forest..
.....time to stop sampling my own product....:stoned:

Hey ya'll what's up. MIair those pics look good. Ketzlicka..guess what.? I was SO surprised today! Plants germed in 3 inch peat pots already have little ROOTS coming out the bottoms! Day 10! Wow!

I planted in good moon sign for germing and rooting, but was shocked they have such good root systems this soon. Yippee....photos soon, not much to see yet

Edit: after posting I finally saw your pics Ketz... look good too! Mine are 4 days older!:thumbsup:

Just wanted to update.. I cloned the ladies this weekend.. and so far they look like their doing well! I'll know for sure exactly what sex they are in a few weeks.. hopefully.. :thumbsup: Untill then, just growing the mothers some more..

Hey Aero, Let me know how those clones are coming along! Post a pic. Do they have roots yet? I'm hoping they are easy to clone. My little guys are coming along pretty fast. They have 3 nodes veryyy compacted together.I'll post a pic in another week or two.

Clones are coming along great!! Such an easy process (thanks stinky :thumbsup:)!

I took a total of 12 clones from 6 plants. 3-NL#5 3-Big Bud 3-Bubble Gum and 3 from bag seed :)

1 week and still no visible roots from the rockwool, but the plants seem to be doing great. Not a hint of yellowing, wilting, or weakening of any kind.

I am sooo anxious to take some more, but i haveta sex 'em unfortunately.. I miss judged the amount of plants i planted in my DWC system.. grossly over populated the system, and the plants are hurting because of it.. So i need some fem's so i can kill the males and move on to my new and improved ebb and flow system, with separate mother/clone room.

Pics:
#1 - Clones in separate chamber
#2- Side by side with their mothers (i hope!)
#3- Top view
#4- New ebb and flow home for the clones (minus the light, its ordered)

These have been the easiest plants.. Hope they bud like they veg!

Excellent set up areo, i bet those clones will have roots in a day or two. I'm still waiting for my digital camera because I let my girlfriend borrow it but I'll have it back friday and i'll take pics of my girls. Can't wait till I can clone them!

first time grower here,got 3 nl/haze in cupboard,now in 2nd day of flowering,was going to post a picture but for some reason i cant see the icon in the reply box,i managed to post it earlier on a diff thread but now i dont have the option....anyone know why?:rastasmoke:

hey i was having the same problem!

Hello everyone!
Well, 7 of the 12 clones made it.. it was my first time, and made some pretty basic mistake.. I have another batch cookin in the dome, as i type.

They did have some kinda minor stress problems when i planted them in the hydroton, but seem to be pulling through and gaining some height..

Will post pictures when im not so hung over :stoned:

:thumbsup::rastasmoke::rasta:those girls look reallllll goooood
