oh just realized...my Northern lights looks almost exactly like "Luna" did...so much for it being indica dom./.. =-/

repotted all the new babies, growing like weeds...going to flip them in another week or two and try some smaller plants this time.
Thanks again for all of the help from RIU members..

nothing builds success like success. nice work

Thank you, friend! I ended up with about 4 lbs 9 0z on 1st grow,AND OF COURSE donated everything above my allowed 22 oz to a few diff local collectives and some patients w/no money..
Today is end of week 1 in flower for second grow...they have been borningly uneventful (I'm leavin them alone, haha)
I started them on 12/12 when the smallest was 10", max was 16", not looking to grow trees this time.I am growing medi-bud, which I guess is pretty new..beautiful, easy 2 grow heavy indica, hugee fan leaves (one is >14"!!)white widow, white rhino, pineapple jack someone gave me,I have 4-5 THC snow clones I took from early flowering last time that are just big and bushy..already were showing tiny flowers b4 I flipped to 12..
And now I am growing for my son in laws friend(everyone LOVEDDD the smoke!!), so his 15 are medi bud x3, white rhino x3, Amsterdam haze x 3,N. Lights x 3 and 3 White widows...
My plants now in flower are on floranova 1 part nutes, and I am realllly happy with it, no mixing 3 different things, and the plants are so happy I can hear them singing!! although I am using diamond nectar w/ it and every 2 weeks as a foliar...they are happy plants, made it to wk 1 flower with no problems! Seems my biggest problem in the past was changing nutes in flower, the the 1 part its easy-breezy!!!
Happy growing all!!!! Decided NOT to use the ebb&grow..everything is in sunshine advanced #4, love that stuff!! Seedlings still not getting fed as they are only up less than 10 days..when they get 3 sets of leafs I will start em on a lite 200 ppm feed(GH floraNova), titrate as tolerated..
Oh and I just had ventilation finally put into my room, 2 6" fans pulling hot air out at the top of the peak(that exit thru carbon filter), 4 screened louvered airvents put in at floor level on opposite wall..and I vented the 2 lights with air hoods..actually getting too chilly in there now...maybe I can avoid an A/C unit if the summer stays in the 40's at night!!

Today is the beginning of week 3 in flower on my 15, and my patients 15 were germinated 6-1 and are very healthy green, no nute burn or def,ranging from 9-13" they seem to realllly love GH flora Nova 1 part nute regime, I am really loving it instead of the GH 3 part series, they seem to be flowering faster, as well as it being mostly organic and chelated the plants have never had a single burn.I add worm castings tea 10 ml and nitrozyme 7 ml and diamond nectar to each gallon made and the plants are simply gorgeous this round, though they have quickly outgrown their pots, payday they all get 10 gallon pots, except of course the few I have going in my ebb & grow. They are showing yellowing of the lowest leaves at 600 PPM of just flora nova grow and diamond nectar.
Just did my first res change, thinking having my res 4" higher than the brain/buckets may be messing something up, think I will call CAP and see if that is a problem,and make changes as needed.
Thc snow clones from last grow are sooo covered in gorgeous flowers, I will tie them down tomorrow so they can get more light to all bud sites.
The are having yellowing around the bud leaves at only 3 weeks into flower, but they all 3 had a slew of flowers the last 2 weeks of veg, also...not sure if that is due to taking the clones when the mom was starting to flower or not? I only let them get about 14-18" before flipping this time and they range from 24-40", some tripled height.
Had 3 air intakes installed for fresh air and 2 up high to blow out the heat, this week I am going to buy the turbo type fans as the 2 I got were just supposed to be boosters i think, not meant to be the only ones, they are inline with the 2 air cooled lights then blow through a air filter with charcoal before it's blown into a different area of the garage, may need to change that if we actually ever start summer this year, room temps have been staying around 70 @ night and up to 78 in day, humidity is staying under 50 with 1 small dehumidifier running.
Have my eye on a portable a/c-dehumidifier with a hose to drain it if the temps get much higher, all it'll take is a few 80+ days for my temps to be way 2 high, so am going to get it just to have in case it starts getting hotter.
I also have 2 wall oscillating fans and a standing oscillating fan, dont have a temp/humidity meter in the tent that the 15 babies are in, but their light stays on 24/day and I open the tent flaps during the 7-7 hours for their added circulation.IMAG0696.jpgIMAG0674.jpgIMAG0696.jpg

OMG I am crushed...discovered my beautiful ice plant was a male (from a fem seed) too late, all of my buds on ALL 15 flowering plants are LOADED, and I do mean LOADEDDD with seeds, like one bud I clipped and dried was not even an inch long/around and had like 48 seeds!!!! That was a big bud x Ice, sooo, looks like no further bud growth since the seeds were noticeable, I am sooooo bummbed.
Lemons=lemonade, right?
The bud won't be worth shit as there was not much left of the test one after pulling all the seeds out, but ice x with medi bud, white widow, white rhino, bubblegum,big bud, and all the other strains should make for nice plants, I think Ice with any of them would be a good thing?
only one I dont think got nailed was the pineapple jack who was outdoors when this happened, and her flowers are still very small,with no seedy looking bulging. Not yet, anyway, but she was right outside the garage...hmmm, what to do, what to do?
I cut 15 clones of my vegging plants (14-22") in case I harvest early just for the seeds, doesn't seem it would take a full 8-10 weeks for seeds to mature from what I have read, some are already so big they are bulging out of those teardrop shaped thingys.
Any advice...seems I just talk to myself on here these days...
Im not sure if I should just chop em down as soon as seeds are viable, the big bud cross looked light tan but now that they've dried are more brown..just hate flushing any more $$$ down the toilet, though...I could sell these killer mix seeds at the MMJ farmers market I guess, maybe recoup some losses and just start fglowering the other 15 now....what would ya do if you were in my shoes??

no ideas, hmm?
