Simply NORTHERN LIGHTS! 350watts CFL's.

I think you were right about the moss, makes sense to me, but i have heard of epople lining the bottom like you did, you might had put a lil too much

none the less she is doin fine, hopefully not too much of a shock from the transplant

Sweet lookin Mature! I just had three NL break ground day before yesterday. Started a journal myself. I will keep checkin in!

Hey matureSmoker

Your northern lights looks great. Seeing your grow reminds me of my grow of Nirvana's Northern Lights in 2003. Keep up the good work. Here are some pic of my NL, It was grown in soil under a 150w hps, with lst.

I love the lst!

Hi SICC She seems to be fine, I'm very careful when I transplant anything but as you will know the more established the root ball, the easier it is. In future I'm going to shred the moss. I'm in about 10% moss/ 30% perlite and 60% organic compost now.

Died Evil: Thats a great NL plant, really good LST and very similar EXCEPT that yours seems to have finished in better overall health! What day did you harvest? Mine is at 6.5 weeks and finishing very fast now, couple more weeks hopefully.

Old Coot: Good luck with your NL grow, post a link here when you get started?

Ganjaluvr: Thanks for the comments I'm happy growing with CFL's, I get tired of all those negative comments, like you say we can do very well with CFL's if used correctly.

QUICK UPDATE AS WE APPROACH THE END OF WEEK 7.

Buds still filling out well. I have not replaced the LST strings in the new larger pot so shes opening up slightly but she can finish like this now.

I just started my grow using some shwag seeds, just to see how everything turns out before I buy some really good seeds. How many cfl's should I use to grow 6 plants?

At least 100w per plant when they grow up but u can start with 1 23 watt light per plant

Yummy. She's looking damn good! Great Job on the grow man.

Very sweet!!! +rep I am fixxing to start a 350w cfl grow also. I will be using one 105w cfl and 6x 42w for Flowering. Totaling 357 watts.

Thanks to everyone who replied and followed this grow so far, its made it worthwhile. I hope its showing new CFL growers that its worth persevering with these lights despite so much negativity from some growers Personally for a couple of plants, 350watts gives results as good as HPS. But for a bigger grow, more /larger plants, I'd go with the HPS. Can't be more honest than that

Messing around taking a few pics of her tonight, trying to catch the sun coming through the window onto her, different angles/ shade etc. I'm confident she has perked up again last 48 hrs since the re pot. I like the shot with the leaf refelecting in the IPod

I cant get over how good those buds look, i would be so tempted to start plucking away at her haha

I have said it once, and will say it again, so is a damn Beauty, would almost be a shame cutting her down

keep us posted as always, we are all watching with excitement

You have made my mouth water with the last picture you put up!!!!

The NL plant was grown with 2 other plants of Nirvana's Bubblegum.

The NL finished at 8-8.5 weeks with 50% amber. The bubble gum took 10 weeks.

The NL harvested 34 grams of some of the finest smoke I have came acrossed.

Love the way your plant is turning crystally white around the colas.

Maturesmoker,

Very inspiring.
I just found this thread today and subscribed right away.
Thank you so much for keeping up on your postings.
Looking forward to the next few weeks.

Ya man those nugs are looking very very good. I wouldn't go as far as to say that though, its just big yeild difference thats about it. You still have some killer looking nugs don't get me wrong, the cfls just can't compete on yeild. This is my first hid grow and I can already tell and I'm just hitting my 6th week. Keep it going though my man no hate here just speaking my high mind haha.

despite so much negativity from some growers .

Some times it's just a hobie, Other times it's therapy, but no matter how it's done, it's your baby.

greenfirekilla420 with a comment like that it almost sounded like you called someone else's baby "ugly"? If we were women you would by in trouble.

Man I didn't say nothing about his plant bro. I just said yeild was cfls can't compete I'm not talking shit I've done three successfull cfl grows so I know. I aint talking shit mane git it right. Cfls still produce fire ass nugs I can say cause I've grown with them.

Just playing with you.

I gotcha, I mean foreal don't think I was hating I love the lil stealth grows and the use of lst its crazy a plant can be twisted up and trained to less than 21" tall.

I'm trying mimik matures but with a hempy in one bucket and going to start a full hydro plant in a second.

nice nice, what strains you planning on? what nutes etc??

I'm really just starting only one month in. just bag seed, figure to work out the bugs before going to something exotic.
