My First Grow: Northern Lights

Some more

Like you said, just a little impatient, but that happens to everyone from time to time! I think your ladies look just fine for a little over half-done, and especially since you're using just a few CFLs. The 12/12 from seed guy with over an ounce per plant with ~300 watts seems a little incredible. You can't see the medium in the pic so it could be possible with a good hydro setup, but still sounds a little fishy to me.

Next time maybe some bigger containers? The plants look fine but they would definitely do better with some more dirt to work with.

Good luck and happy harvest

I think the other guys got such big buds because he flowered from the start, which has kept the plants shorter meaning his light don't have to travel so far. You've vegged yours much longer and they've got taller and cfl's don't penetrate so deep. You could still veg for the same amount of time as you've done for this grow but next time look into LST to keep the plants shorter and get more budsites at the top of your canopy. That way you'll have a lot more cola's that are closer to the light that will grow big and juicy

Good luck!

Those are nice, how long did u veg them for?

[WeedNeedy]

Those are nice, how long did u veg them for?

the small one was vegged for about 6.5 weeks, the two tall ones were vegged for 4 weeks

New pics guys, AND PROBLEMS!!!! I hope i didnt ruin this plant by waiting too long or something, she's dying, my best plant is turning almost all yellow, and shes not drinking water....she was soaking wet as if she had just been watered and the other two were bone dry....i dont know what to do, is this a sign shes ready to harvest? shes getting the same light and watering as the other two so i dont see why shes so different...im getting a scope hopefully tomorrow to check the thc maturity....please any advice or knowledge as to why my plant is dying, shes on day 47 of flower...should be very close to harvest, but i think its too early for her to be past when i should have harvested, hardly any of her hairs are even orange..am i wrong by thinking that?

On a happier note, check out the buds on these girls....4-20 is gonna be a fuckin BLAST!!:jointsmile:

Hey weedneedy, your plants are looking real good, looks like they added plenty weight. Have you flushed them lately? Maybe worth a try for the yellowing, I like to flush mine once a month to stop any locks.

[zebulon]

Hey Weedy....first of all, nice plants....:thumbsup:

You should relax, there is nothing wrong whit that plant....it's getting old, but it isn't ready for harvest yet, believe me...yellowing is a normal thing when so far in flowering, bloom ferts. contain less N than grow ferts., and this is causing the yellowing....You don't want much N in the plants when harvesting, it makes the smoke harsh and it takes more time to cure....

Other thing is that the plant is probably rootbound too...

[bluntmaster430]

Some yellowing is from lack of N (no worries) the weeping of the plant is a concern, but probably a combo of nute locks and root bound plants, I would have re potted before entering flowering. Flush with ph adj. water until runout is low 6s.....6.2. Check the stem to see if its red. If it is check to make sure your water softener isn't on. Get a PPM detector and get the readout from your water (personal experience). Good luck man hope everything works out well. Trust your instincts rather than listening to everyones solutions including this one. :thumbsup:
