Yeah, NL Original.
Here is the makeup from the website.

I'm really stoked about this strain. I've heard nothing but good things about it. I'm looking forward to getting to try it out.

 

[Orlando Scout]

I haven't grown NL out yet either. After how I see it grow for you I will probably give her a shot as well.

I just got done with Power Africa from seedsman, which is Durban x Skunk #1 x Haze and it came out really nice. Good luck with the grow!

Exciting stuff. Time flies when you are growing. Always something new to look at. Good luck.

It definitely does, I swear they look different every time I open the tent up.

Hey Dankzilla! Your setup sounds a lot like mine. Same tent size and soil and nutes as my first grow which just wrapped up. I used the quadline method for training to keep them short. Worked out great. Good luck man! I’ll be following along!

Like it! I've got a strain from Expert underway at the moment so I'll be tagging along to see how your one goes. Looks nice and organised in there. Good luck my friend

 

[Dutchman1990]

Nice setup dank! I’ll be following along here. There’s already some great growers here so your in good hands!

Keep it green my fiend

 

[Dankzilla40]

Update the girls are 8 days old today 2 days ago i adjusted the lights to 30 inches above the plants i originally had them at 25 inches i started to notice what looks like leaf bleaching from the lights ever so slightly on one of the girls( first pic)but i am not positive . Can anyone confirm?

 

[Dutchman1990]

Could be genetics I had one of my white widows have similar markings and grew out of it by week 3 keep an eye on it over the next few days see what the new growth is like.

 

[Dankzilla40]

Thank u Dutchman got the new grower nerves worried about everything lol

 

[Dutchman1990]

I’m just getting my first grow to the finish line myself ! I started my auto white widows end of July and they should be coming down in a few weeks!

Anything I can help with I’ll be here !

 

[Dankzilla40]

Awesome ill check out your journal. I got 2 autos lined up after this grow

Hey Dank, gonna pull me up a chair here and watch the grow. The tent looks like it's near to your heart, the bedroom! Great location. You can check them before and after sleep, and when you gotta get up to go pee.

I've been reading different things lately about that spotting you have. As mentioned it could be genetics, however on your next grow try without the humidome over the plants and see if it makes a difference. Your plants will do just fine wiothout it anyhow. I hear it may have to do with too much humidity and heat. I have not used a dome before and have not seen it, but I do have a White Widow that has genetically freaked herself out but still making good flower.
Anyhow, welcome to
You are off to a great start and already have a good backing of folks to guide you if needed.
