Ok guys/gals I just started my new grow and this is my first journal so bare with me... I am growing 4 northern lights. got them from nirvana.

ok my setup will be a restroom ghetto and still needs the cleaning so i've been going around with dawn and hot water just cleaning off the dirty sides while the plant grows. to keep the room clean.

the light im using for seedling throughout flowering is a 600 watt HPS by xtrasunView attachment 1222932100_4449.jpg100_4448.jpg

Lol as you can tell a bit ghetto. with the blue masking tape covers the bottom of my mylar =P, but that will be fix'd way before i switch lights before 12/12.

Back to where I was. I ordered the seeds from nirvana(5 fem. Nl) took 2 weeks which arrived maybe thursday or friday? but didnt have my keys to my mailbox so i had to wait until sunday to plant them:leaf::wall:

How I always do my cycle of germ. to transplanting to hydroponic is i would pop the seeds into jiffy organic seeding mix100_4447.jpg. which I didn't have my camera to show yall when i put them into the soil.. but i just put 2 per party cup.. and poke holes on the bottom so water could drain. when seeds popped and showd green or even a good enough root system where i can transplant them without damaging the roots I did straight into the hydroponic.
100_4440.jpg100_4441.jpg100_4445.jpg100_4443.jpg picture number 3 seems to be the runt seedling but not giving up on it.. these plants seem to have no problem with the HPS and heat because. i had them under the HPS since tuesday morning. and even reached 90's from poor air flow. <-- but that is fix'd now i might reach up to max 84-85 degrees. :-P

nutrients I will be using is simple 3 set of Fox Farm which i only have 2 for right now because I found it better to wait for tiger bloom so it saves me a trip to toys r us for me. (hydroponic store) 100_4446.jpg I got a few other nutrients by technaflora route 66 and magical.

I'm looking for a quick harvest 2-21/2 months plants ideal 2ft tall. I will update this thread every new set of leaves. and if I have issues. but i've been through so many problems I think i wouldn't ask for help. but never know.:weed: so hit me up whatcha think thank you all. sorry for bad grammer and spelling. was typed fast and im pretty stoned.

Ahh i found this dead forum ok time to revive it alright guys and gals its been awhile since i updated my grow journal and my grow and bathroom had a long rearranging to do.. but lets get started.

This is day 13.(as you can see 1 plant died =(..) I was still cleaning up the areas around the floors and daily clean.. but this was also a bad day for me when i got hit hard to algae... my dumbass didnt cover the light leakage to the water... so i payed the price.

Bout to read threw everything in a min but def subbed!
TY =D

here is an ew update on a couple of pics of the 3.. only 34 days into flowering and day 55 from seedling. its starting to smell like northern lights i remember buying as a teenager when i shook the plant from tying the stems up because of the weight.. but here are some new pics they r starting to crystal over but its just clear u cant see in the pic.100_4502.jpg100_4503.jpg100_4498.jpg100_4500.jpg

1 plant seems to mature faster then the other 2.... which is well built.. she is a buity she is the third pic.. her alt nodes look just like her main stem.. which i love.. so that means more buds for =D

ill probably take pictures tonight to show the buds alot better.

whew ok i just took the scope to the plant and wow does the aroma amuse me =D smelling my fingers giving me that sour sweet smell. yumm but the trich on my young plant is still clear while the other 2 are having a little amberish tone.

and question. how much thicker will the colas get u may be think? could inchs or they will be the same.

No really telling exactly how much the buds will thicken up but the last 3 weeks are the time they do really swell and when done swelling you will know...seem to stop growing but there just getting denser. IMO
