Amstrons grow log: Big bud x Northern lights

[amstron]

right, Ive finnaly got round to preparing my next grow. Im plantin 12 seeds, taking one female to be a mother plant. Im growing in a cheap grow tent, 1m x 1m x 1.8m. Im using a 250 m2h extractor fan (my attic is extremely well ventilated and is almost like outside so air will just come in from the room), a 400 watt MH/HPS (MH for veg, HPS flower), soil grow, liquinure veg fert, bio bloom flower fert. I will have pics up soon when I start germinating. I plan to germinate 12 seeds (2 are hollands hope). If I have a 90% germination rate or more then I will kill the hollands hope plants as they are not as strong and will be a waste of room. In general I plan to grow sog, but that is with clones and dont have enough seeds to do a sog grow yet. depending on how many females I get, I will decide on when to induce flowering, if i have 6 females or more I will induce flowering at 12 inches. less than that then it will be 15 inches. i still decidin whether to train or top them or not anything (if anyone knows how this strain reacts to topping or trainig please tell me). hope this grow goes as well as my last one. Any suggestions of improvement will be appreciated greatly and advice also.

I wouldn't kill hollands hope - sounds nice! Northern Lights isn't well known for its strength - infact proabably the opposite with its low odor.

But then again a cross between Big Bud an NL could be a nice cross - still variety is a nice option to have - i'd just kill off the 2 weakest plants rather than by the strain.

well nirvana says northern lights x big bud(according to nirvana-reliable resource) has 8% to 15% THC level, Hollands hope is 5-10%. also, its a suggested outdoor strain

Thats what I'm growing you should look at my thread to see it .."MY SET UP 1st TRY" I topped 3 one was a male, so I have 2 and they react really well to topping as for training I havent tried it. Its only my 1st grow and its almost done everything went well this strain is very tough, good for beginers like me. The odor is Yummy not strong at all but when you get close its smells somewhat fruity, I love it and I wouldnt mind growing it again... OH and the buds are HUGE LOL

I've grown NLBB and it was nice and stoney with a sweet tangy smell.

right, theres been a delay, due to my light being completely un assembled. I bought off ebay knowing this but thinking that it would be just as easy as setting up a house light, i was wrong. im not expecting it, but if any1 does know how to setup a grow light, that would be great. By the way, I dont need to make the ballast. Im trying to get friends to help me at the moment

[BukDatAss]

put more detail its not that hard

[amstron]

right, Ive done it now. The seeds have been germinating in soil for 1 day. I have the light hooked up to the tent (slightly bent but that can be fixed). I haven't bought the fan yet so I cant put that up yet, but I should have it within the next week.

oh, by the way. i know mylar is better than white, but Its all going to be enclosed so there will be very little light loss and also thats how it came. I suppose I could line all the insides with mylar, but to be honest with you I'm busy, lazy and have had trouble starting this grow so just want to get on with it

[amstron]

Right, I was going to wait for a week to update but something strange has occured that has not happened to me before. 9 seeds have sprouted so far and are under the MH with a temp of around 70 F. all is as normal apart from 1 plant, the first 1 to sprout and the biggest has grown another shoot right next to it and it appears to be growing from the same plant, I know its a weed plant and not some randomn weed. Look at the pics, Im not sure which order they go in but youl know which one it is
