Fairlight C99 and Nirvana Northern Lights 400w Deep Water Cooler (DWC)

One more to knock out before Summer.

I am attempting Fairlight's C99 for the 2nd consecutive time.
Last grow, the plants just stalled and then grew really slowly.
They were a 1/3 the size of Nef's C99 and GB's Pure Gooey at Bloom time, so they were culled.
Hopefully I won't have to repeat that.
These 4 seedlings have gotten off to a good and quick start.

This is also my 1st time growing Nirvana's NL !
I've seen plenty of good reports so I'm excited at some possible dank Doh-Doh !
I've seen MOST ppl get good yields too.
Since it's mainly an Indica, I'ma let this get really amber too.
PPM = 125
PH = 5.8
Rez Temps = 64F
Ambient Temp = 79F

For those new to my set up:

HomeBox Small tent (32" x 32" x 63") using PASSIVE intake w/ 2 open flaps.
6 inch Can Fan @ 279 CFM
400w Hortilux HPS and Lumitek ballast w/ Yield Master II Hood by Sun System (6 inch)
2 - 125w Sunleaves 6500K CFL's @ 10,500 lumens each for veg
2 - 12gal Igloo Marine coolers
2 - 4 port Air Pumps rated @ 9L/min or 2.3gal/min
6 - 14 inch air stone bars ( 3 in ea. cooler)
2 - 5 inch round flat air stones
Black silicon hoses
GH Flora Micro, Bloom and Flora Nector regular; PBP Liquid Karma and Cal/Mag and NOTHING ELSE IN MY R/O WATER !!!


Nothing much to see right now.
Ask any question.
Post info about Nirvana Northen Lights IF, AND ONLY IF YOU HAVE GROWN AND HARVESTED IT.

Thanks !
I'll keep that in mind too.
I wanna try Joey Weeds NL too.

Looking forward to seeing another entry into the cooler movement. Loving the way the setup looks excited to see the results, subscribed!!

Thanks WickedSV !
Have you seen the last 2 results ? lol

Haha yeah man I did, the C99 looked insane and getting around 9 ounces was really impressive. What are you "ideally" looking to get out of this op? I hope you know just how much easier you make things for people like me who are perfectionists and scared about starting. Following your grows, seeing your results and methods really help me be prepared. Appreciate all the answered questions and the fact that you take the time to document it all.

Thanks for the appreciation, WickedSv !

I hate searching for info on something, only for it to not have enough DETAILED info or documentation.
I want AT LEAST 12 ounces this grow !!
6 ounces from each cooler is very likely too.
The last 3 grows proves my point.
I also want to SCROG this grow in order to get that yield.

Looking Nice Man...Nice Setup. I have 2 Nirvana Strains Growing right now aswell. Blackberry and Bubblelicious. Cant wait Until they're Ready for DWC

Let me know how the NL turns out Flo. Looking good as usual. I'll be following along I have a lot of trimming ahead of me

Good lookin out Cali !
I was born and raised in the 213....lmao
That's for real !
I was thinking about Bubblicious real hard, instead of another C99.
Been getting curious about Blackberry too.
Anyone have a finished and complete grow thread that you now of ?
Looking forward to seeing yours !

Weedler, what's up homie !?
I really hope I get a good Indica dom phenotype for some, " I've fallen and I can't get up ! ", type couch-lock dank ! lmfao
You have a lot to be proud of over there ! lol
You gotta cop some Cindy too !!

Hey flo how's it goin ?

Can't wait to see how much ya pull of this grow.

I took a look at hemp depot at joeys strains anyway. Think I'm going to order the apollo 11 x blueberry.

Don't know if I'm going to get the seeds I ordered from nirvana or what. They sent out the two strains a week ago so they got another week or two and I'm going to have to order from hemp depot. Over a hundred bucks down the drain. Hope hemp depot works out for me.

Flo, question for you because it is something I have noticed, my seals on the coolers are going out/ leaking have yours done this? I replaced mine easily looks like the nutrients slowly ate away at the gasket I went with a different kind from the hydro store and just cut the seal to fit the cooler

The Seals from the spout ???? Thats crazy.

Say Evo....hang in there with Nirvana.
I waited 30 days one, sent an email and had them within a week.
Never had a problem wth them.
I talking about Gypsy Nirvana's Seed Boutique though.

Weedler, I forget what Goo glue I used from Wally World.
It comes out and dries clear.
I put a bunch around my plug inside AND outside the cooler.
No probs yet, but I'll give a close inspection after this grow.
Fortunately I have the tall floor liner in my tent, a wet/dry shop vac and same-size back up coolers without drain plugs (maybe use those instead from now on).
Unless you have a set up like Professor BoomerBloomer57 and can use the drain plugs for a multi-connect grow.

I'm setting my buckets up for auto drain next round... Been able to do some add back to maintain healthy PPM. I wonder if silicone will be okay?

BH- Yeah bro from the rubber gaskets I saw on the outside near the spicket some salt residue looks like it was leaking slightly already had to put a new seal on one cooler already.

I damn near added Gen Hydro WaterFarm type drip rings to the top of my pots.
I believe the added DO will help with more root development and increased yield.
I'm also going to drain and replenish my coolers every 2 weeks to see if there's a big difference.
The last 3 grows, I only did it once or twice but definitely when I switch to Bloom.

100% germination.

Northern Lights on the left.
C99 on the right.

Notice the 3rd NL from the front.
It's stunted b/c of me and not the genetics.
I was wrestling to get that little fucker into the rapid rooter.
It kept changing position everytime I let go !
In my frustration of spending about 2 minutes with it, I accidentally broke the tip of the tap root off !!! lmao
I damn near threw that lil bitch away, but said " Fuck It ! ".
It' a 1st and therefore something to learn from b/c the rest of the tap was healthy.
So I sowed it anyway.
THIS Nirvana Northern Lights has vigour.
It drop the shell JUST before it popped out the rooter.
I had to hold the split open with a hydroton pebble !
I'm obviuosly happy it made it.
Now I hope at some point it explodes in growth and doesn't stay too far behind in case it's a female.

hope you get something worth a eff, I grew out nirvana's N.L and some free N.L seeds they sent me, the ones I bought and the ones they sent me, I threw it in the trash, I didn't want anyone to know I grew it. It was absolute crap. One had a real fruity smell and I was excited about it, but after it cured, Just crap. Not anything like the N.L I've smoked in the past. I didn't see any resemblance to N.L.
but, I wish you luck, sucks to put all that time for crap results.
