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

[bluntmaster430]

2nd grow
northern lights
age: 10 weeks
currently in 3rd week of flowering
height: 5' 2" from soil
temp: 30-34 deg C (average) with light on. 26-28 deg when off.
humidity: approx. 60%
soil used: started with fox farm ocean forest, at week 5 switched to general hydroponics bio-biz all-mix (organic).
fertilizer: fox farm grow big 6-4-4 (during veg) and fox farm tiger bloom 2-8-4 (during flowering). also used fox farm organic big bloom .01-.3-.7 (during both)

this is the female monster plant! it is very healthy and at the bottom has about a 3/4" stem thickness. during vegetation it was on an 18-hr cfl and fluorescent blue spectrum light (500w) and 6 hours of red 1000w HPS. just began some low-stress training in order to spread out the lower branches and get more light to as many leaves and bud sites as possible. here are some pictures for your enjoyment. please put in some feedback/comments/recommendations! :jointsmile:

here are some pics of the clones and 1 more of the mother that didnt fit in last post. the 4 clones are approx 4 weeks old and seem to be doing great. currently under 24 hrs of 250w fluorescent light. definite new growth on all. about to add another 250w fluorescent for the clones. enjoy! :stoned:

another note: this plant has been pruned regularly. most older large leaves(almost all fan leaves before flowering) have been removed to allow for more light penetration to lower branches. this is my 1st time pruning to this extent. So in case you're wondering that is why the plant may seem low on leaves. with out pruning i can say with out a doubt it would look like one solid mass. :jointsmile:

also, if you find bluntmaster430's previous grow log,the first grow was a struggle. managed around 40 grams dry from one. but lost multiple plants to problems. I am happy to say that this grow has been different. not one health issue, no yellowing, and no spots.
I thought this plant may have been stretched because it was so tall, but the girl never looked lanky before I pruned her and the 100w HPS has never been more than 12 inches above her, nor was the 500w fluorescent ever more than 2-3 inches above. (often I would find her growing into the light she was so close.)

anyways is a 5 ft tall indica normal?

lastly the next plan is to take the best clone and veg her in the current clone closet. after flower is complete on this one and the other 3 (which i plan on flowering soon) want to take 30 clones from the mother and do a 1 light soil tray system like tranoble did in his sealed grow room post. planting all of the 6in apart and flower after only 5 days of veg. producing 30 short plant roughly 3 ft in height.

LAME does anyone actually care here?

heard of the term "size queen"? well i have determined that most people on this forum are strain queens. as soon as less common strain is posted people rush to comment. but as for on here well we can see no one has anything useful to say huh?

Nice plant man hope everything goes well and you end up with a good bit of that sweet ganja oh yeah its 420 get stoned

[bluntmaster430]

thanks Light. good to hear from someone..I'll get some more pics up this week

pictures of 3 clones in their 3rd week of flowering. Their height at cutting ranged from 5-7 inches, and were about 10 inches each when put into flowering. their veg period was only about 5 days. now each is around 20 inches tall.

1 clone is in full veg 24/0 and has been topped once on the main stem and then again on its more prominent branches. Planning on being kept as a mother.

our flowering plant has stopped getting taller and quietly sits at 6ft 1in....it's in it's 6th week of flowering. the older larger leaves have definitely begun yellowing......

That is a very tall plant for indoors. Nice

Bluntmaster, if you can get that big tree into a bigger pot, it will thank you. That is quite yellow for this far from harvest- that looks like a pure or nearly pure sat, and will probably run another month at least! You can't afford to lose those leaves yet.
The others look good. Remember, one gallon of dirt per foot of main stem!
