Hello I have same light and about to start a grow. I would love to watch

 

[Obi Wan]

Welcome Grow jr! I'm glad to have you along for the grow.

I'll be catching up this journal with information and pictures shortly. I've discovered keeping up a journal here really helps me stay organized and on top of things. Additionally, I get to interact with a lot of interesting people which is a great motivator too

I'm going to try to format this journal so that I (or anyone) can quickly locate a summary of pertinent information regarding the current state of the grow.

Comments, questions and constructive feedback are always welcome. Readers content to simply follow along for information are equally as welcome. That's how I started out.


Happy Growing,
/Obi Wan

I am starting out with a germination method similar to the one I used in my first grow. This time I am skipping the soaking in a cup of water and simply going straight to a moistened paper towel.

I like your summary header

I see that aurora Indica is Afghan x Northern Lights
Is that 10% Northern Lights?

If so, that seems a big change from the Northern Lights you grew last time.
And yet it's still Northern Lights

Hello Radogast! It's good to see you my friend. Thanks for the sub and the kind words.

Yes, I believe the Aurora Indica genetics are weighted towards the Afghan parent. Just don't ask me how they do it, lol.

I could tell as soon as the first true leaves came in that this is not the same plant from my last grow. AI is already visually different. The leaf structure is a little wider and a little darker green. Perhaps displaying more Indica type traits.

Cheers!

Sounds like a high CBD strain. I need one of those for a future grow.
