Northern Lights #5 x Haze Nebula The Purps - 4th LED Grow

[JohnnieJC3]

Everything ticking along nicely. A good healthy base to start from. Did you go coco this time?

No it's soil, I wasn't quite prepared for Coco yet, the Roots soil does have a good amount of Coco which contributes to faster growth and drainage I'm sure(also added more perlite, the soil drains QUICK). I need to get a PH pen and TDS meter. I could do the strips, but I'll use those for backup just to make sure the meter is working correctly. Too many projects my friend!

The bad thing is I really want to do Coco and I should of been a little more patient. I'm trying to cut the time for this next grow since this one will be over 5 months complete. This is the reason I started these early, save about a months worth of time to compensate. Always next time.

Northern Lights #5 X Haze Nebula The Purps Day 18 from Seed

The two smaller mommas (NL #5 & Nebula) are starting there 4th set and the Purps is starting her 5th. These babies are growing a set of leaves about every 1.5 - 2 days on 24/7. And to clarify, the left corner is NL, right is Purp, and the bottom is Nebula Enjoy!

No need for the strips. They are crap. Just chat to your hydro shop and get a decent pH pen with some calibration fluid. If you calibrate the pen regularly, then you can rest assured that it will be accurate.

Your girls look really good.

 

[mokel]

those 3 are really nice

i'm amazed that your 3 beauties all show much more indica like leafs then my plant ... though i don't now how the 2 other nl#5 x haze seeds will turn out when their turn comes, but the first one i germinated has much thinner and more sativa like leafs

Yeah it's crazy, all three are mostly sativa, I'm sure when I flip them, it will change to a sativa style stretch. I hear I have to really watch out for the NL X Haze regarding stretch. Nothing a little training can't remedy.

I had to really train my Kosher Kush in stretch since a few of the branches wanted to spurt up to the light quicker than the others. I enjoy the entire process.

If it does, it's time to quit.

Yup, you could say that. I think I've hugged a plant or two, probably kissed a few too.

LOL! I always feel kinda sad when it's time to chop them down. I'm sentimental like that. Silly, I know...

I do to, then I throw in new plants and it brings me UP again. The cycle of life, SAD, but so REAL.

Update: I topped the Purp momma 2 days ago, and the other two yesterday(topped at 5 node, removed first nodes, so 4 nodes, two shoots per). I also transplanted all three yesterday to there final homes(5 gal smartie). I used roots organic soil, little more perlite, a little neem seed meal, alfalfa, and some Crab Shell meal(a couple table spoons worth) I had left over. I also threw in a few tablespoons of all purpose tomato tone and some glacial rock dust per pot. I'm not going the Supersoil type mix this time, just a little addition to the existing soil in very small amounts. I also added a few tablespoons of Dolomite Lime(Garden Lime). Oops, almost forgot, I also added Mykos under the rootballs. Needless to say, I won't have to feed until the first week of stretch is complete. Once the pots sink a little, I'll top them off since I have extra soil left. Enjoy!

Hey all, Sunday will be 4 weeks and looking awesome. I topped all the plants and transplanted so there adjusting nicely. I'll get some updated photos up soon. All plants have eight lateral shoots that will be trained, I haven't decided if I'm going SCROG again or not. Since the 400's are good until around a foot of penetration, SCROG may be the ticket. I did do a SCROG for the BaY 11 clones, but it was more of a structure holding the buds than a true SCROG. I definitely learned so much with that grow though and would like another shot at really filling in the gaps everywhere. Anyway, happy holidays and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
