Andrew’s Indoor Grow Journal Northern Lights Feminised 2018

15/04/2018 Day 1 :
Germinated my 3 Seeds in paper towel on a saucer which took 48 hours, I have since planted them in the 3 pots.

Soil used Levington John Ives No.1- Compost contains slightly more nutrients and is for transplanting seedlings.
With a specially balanced nutrient mix ideally matched to the needs of developing seedlings, young plants,
and newly rooted cuttings, this compost features a traditional mix of loam, peat and grit.

I prefer to plant in larger pots 20 cm, so I don’t have to transplant and stress out the plant , single oscillating fan , 200 watts florescent Grow lamp in a grow Tent.

Once the seeds show any sign of progress I will show pictures.

Hi aprosjat, and to the forum.

Keeping a journal is a great idea. It will allow others to help you should any problems occur.

with your grow.

I thought I would keep you guys up to date on the progress ... 6 days in and the leaves are spreading out and starting to look like proper little plants.

I always only do 3 plant at a time , my last 2 grows were predominantly Sativa. Took almost 6 months as I ran into a few issues with leaving my light up high and the seedlings pushing towards the light and falling over eventually , so I have now got pulleys so I can adjust the height of the lights , much much better. I think I am getting better with each grow but you are never too old to learn.

Lift off!

 

[Bonsaiweed]

They are looking like you are doing everything right.

 

[aprosjat]

11 days in and 2 are growing from strength to strength the one of the left has fallen over so have had to prop it up with a chopstick, but have the fan blowing on all three now to strengthen the stems, its a pity I didn't check it in the morning before going to work , but start at 7 am. I'm sure the stem will be OK.

I got the lighting wrong on mine at first and they were writhing around on the ground like snakes, they grew so long and straggly, but they eventually they pulled themselves together and grew strong and upright so that the weediest one is now the strongest plant; so I'm sure your floppy one will do OK in the end; mine were far more vertically challenged than that!

 

[Bilbobudkin420]

Found it. Whats cracking? Your babies are doing good.

 

[aprosjat]

It has taken 15 days from when I planted my seeds and these 3 babies are now flourishing as ever. Best a quickest strain I have seen yet ... Northern Lights you got to love em !

Cant believe that I just planted the seeds less than a month ago and they are vegging like no ones business.

 

[aprosjat]

I work on a shift pattern with some night and days and tonight is my last nights until the end of the month. I will be performing a sterilise of the tent to make sure that environment stays as sterile as possible, need to keep any pests at bay...

 

[Advocate420]

Things are moving along for you !

Flourishing like no ones business , all the new growth following the Topping 4 days ago , think I will give it another week before Topping again . It is really good being on here and the support is fantastic , more updates to follow ...

 

[Advocate420]

I’ve found the same effects from topping by bending and training down.and you don’t reduce the bud sizes by too much. Plenty top several times just ideas. Another notice is the plant grows a little faster not as much a shock. I’m a stalk pincher also
