Ok guys so here we go all over again! Northern Lights VS Bagseed

Right then guys here we go all over again on grow number 3 my 2nd propper grow and this one will be a little more in depth than the last two! (gotta build ya way up or you get in too deep... lol)

Ive got exactly the same set up as last time. Same light 400watt HPS. Same room. However this time im gonna use nutes and change my grow room a little! Ionic grow and bloom any good anyone? I aint spendin a fortune on so please dont suggest anything super expensive if you are gonna suggest for me...

Im also goin to, well i have allready germed 5 seeds and ive got another 3 still in the towel which need another day. 4 of em that have hatched are bagseed from a weed i bought that was pretty nice and i could tell it hadnt been dried or cured propperly so once done propperly should be a good smoke! and the other is one of my remaining northern nights them 5 have been potted into peat pots and ive manually cracked the last 3 seeds 2 of em are NL and the other is bagseed.

Rather than raise the pots im gonna lower the lights this time so i will have a massive amount more air space and therefore more co2 and also a cooler room. it will also be cooler because the air above the light will be 20x what it was before.

Im using new soil because the last soil got really compact over the time it was in the pot im also gonna buy new pots and hopefully i should get 5 or so good plants but i rekon i will get 3. i dont have the pics of my room any more but iver tried to attach the pics from my old grow.

catch ya later guys ill post again once they break the soil!

Any comments criticisms or compliments welcome.

Pics of the room and the first 2 to break the soil...


My 3 Northern Lights


2 Of the Bagseed


As you can see today we have the first few through the soil. Hopin for at least one FEM this time lol

Oh yeah this pot is only to keep the peat pots close enough to the light untill i get my new pots and soil next friday then its goin in the bin!(ironic really cuz it is a bin hahaha)

subscribed mate! Fingers crossed for ya. Put mine onto 12/12 last night. Noticed the diff immediately this morning. They all gained height and the fan leaves really sprang to attention when I put the light bk on this morning. Got my 2 Sensi Skunk under way too. Broke the soil about 2 days ago. Will attach a couple pics to my other grow later today.

Sweet sweet... Glad to hear they're comin on good.... I goin to homebase friday to get soil and pots once all 7 have broke the surface then ive just got to order nutes what did you buy again?

Ive got one northern Lights nearly through, 2 gone in soil today, and the others are all bag seed but judging from the exepriment i did while i was flowering my last plant they are gonna grow much faster than the NL so that a bit worrying lol 2 of those are broken the soil the others are still too low too tell but the shell was cracked nd i had roots on em all so will see how we go!

Its quite mad actually the difference the dark makes i mean my last plant grew almost a foot in a matter of 2 weeks when i switched it over too 12/12 so im gonna have to do some kind of training with the plants at the rear of my closet once they get bigger because the height under the boiler is only like 3 ft and the pots will take up a foot of that! lol i rekon ill get 5 3 gallon pots in there happily so im hopin for a 50% Fem rating.

See if ya can get square pots mate. I got 5 large pots in my closet but now I've found square ones, I should be able to fit 9 !!! They're quite fuckin expensive though for square bits of plastic! Like £2.50 each. But if you are gonna spend money on any pots, you may as well spend a lil extra on the square ones. But I'm not sure Homebase has 'em. I only saw round ones there and saw the sq ones in Wyevale and Frosts garden centre.

And yeah I use the Ionic formulas mate. Got grow, bloom and boost. But as I said before, ask questions before you buy them to make sure you get the right one. the soil/coco one.

So how exactly do ya plan on "training" them mate? You gonna get em rolling j's for ya? making ya cups of tea?

Surely tho if you have got that many pots your gonna have a light issue? I mean they are gonna be that close together that all the bottom of the plant will not get any light???

Yeah im gonna go ask some questions on thursday and then pay for em on friday. and start em on it ASAP wanna find out how many Fems ive got. Hopefully ma 3 NL will be Fems. lol

Im gonna do different types of growing see what the difference is in what i get off the plants.

They are all in the same enviroment using the same lights and the same soil and nutes etc etc same temp everything... So with the northern lights im gonna FIM one TOP one and leave the other see if there is actually a difference in the way they grow and the yeilds they produce. Then with the Bagseed im gonna do the same three but LST one and Supercrop the last one again too see the differences even if i dont get more then 2 fems im still gonna see how much different it is and which method i feel will produce more yeild than others... And IF im lucky and get 5 or 6 Fems then im in for a good easter lol.....

Right guys the first few pics of my babies above ground!

Northernt lights


The smaller of the 2 didnt break the ground till 2 days after the other one

Bagseed


The bagseed seem to be comin along nicely... These are shots from yesterday, all the bagseed now has a 2nd set of leaves starting to show through. I will try and take some pics after work tomoz to show the difference!

When did they break the soil mate?

Well we had 2 of the bagseed on the 11th then the other 1 about 2 days later. Then the 2 northern lights one popped 2 days ago and one popped 4 days ago!

So what ya rekon guys?

What are the ages nibbs? Thats the fun part about journals too. And Comgratulations with continuing the NL again, for the third time. I have watched all three grows go bad and when you dropped that lights i screamed, glad they are ok. My NL is good. Month in veg, just cloned.

NL is just loving the LST. I have LST all of them inways i did not think plants could bend, I started bending over at the stem a few weeks old. Used twist ties and zip ties. Now they are zip tied to the pots and bent all over. LST is low stress, like the name implies, and you can get multiple even bud formation. I read last night that a chemical is in the main stalk to make it grow taller and when it is bent sideways lower than other bud sites it releases some of the chemical to them. SO they all become main budsites. It is fun. Highly advise.

Good Luck, reps on your third attempt!


i get square pots at a hydro store for a few dollars, try one of those?Or grow bags, easy.

Thanks Harmony mate nice too see ppl takin an interest...

Ive got to say i have learned a lot over the last 3 failed grows and the NL is defo blooming this time!

I was gutted when the light dropped but it only seems really to have affected the bagseed.... Especially number 2!

Heres a few pics of them from today.

NL1 Born officialy on the 16th Nov


NL2 Born officialy on the 18th Nov


Its mad they seem to go mad every day i come home and they have changed again! Ive actually FIM'ed NL1 today aswell so we will see if i got this one right? lol finger crossed if not we have got a TOPPEd plant anyway so im not too worried!

Bagseed 3 (for some reason it seems a little too hot in there for him not too sure why but the NL seems to be loving the temp. so i rekon these bagseeds are a little less strong than the NL)


The other Bagseed hasnt really changed so no point in takin any pics today.

And a few of the room with the light on hence the flicker


When i say born i mean broken the surface btw lol

Right guys a few pics from today....

Not bothered with all the bagseeds as they havent changed a great deal from yesterday and the northern lights 2 has but its at the back of the cabinet and i couldnt be bothered to take em all out to take a pic lol however number one is all over it... Its changin every day!

NL1 4th Dec


NL1 now FIM'ed as you can see.... lets see if it works lol


Catch ya later lads n lasses...

Harmony the square pots round here are about £3 each which dont sound a lot but when youve got to buy 8 of em plus enough soil too fill em its a bit of a mision! and an expensive one at that lol

Copy that!! Hard to get hold of the square ones. I got a couple small ones but they only do for seedlings. Let me know if you find any cheap nibbz.

Those NL are looking great now. MUCH better than before. We're at similar stages with my second and your third now. I'm gonna lose a bit of growth this weekend tho when i transplant to bigger pots. When ya gonna start nuting? I gave my first batch about a quarter strength dose of the 'grow' stuff when they were about the same size as my second batch and your third are at now. Gonna leave it another week this time tho as I don't wanna upset them after I transplant.

lol, i hear you on pots. I originally bought turbogarden pots, rhought i couldsog. They were a dollar each, now i need 9 or 7 inchers that, is a lot. Ionly got 12 immature 6 mature thing going in ebb and flo. Anyway how aboutgrow bags?

Those plants look like they could be lst'd right now. You could use zip ties, twist ties yarn or pip cleaners. I used zip ties andbent them over as far as they would go with out snapping stems. Kept going from there. I am excited i will have like 5 or 6 tops so far on most of them. I topped one,and fimmed another.

good luck.
