I have been extremely pleased with the King's Northern Lights Auto Fem seeds. I suffer from RA and numerous old injuries that often have me in a bad way physically! Out of many strains I have tested over the past 45 -50 years on myself, this is a real winner! Extremely vigorous growing, stout and multi branching growth. The plants produce lots of bud of excellent quality,both in size and smokability (for auto flowering types). I see only minor differences between most of the plants I have grown, with primarily, some being shorter or taller than the others. Pleasant smelling and tasting to me! The yield is better than many other Auto Fems in my experience. I grow organic compost based soil in felt 3 gallon bags for all my auto varieties. They do very well under just HO, T-5, 6-8 bulb, 48 inch fixtures, that I normally use for seedlings/vegetative state growing ( keep the bulbs close to the plants tops 4"-5" and adjust daily as needed). However, I do change the bulbs from veg to flower type bulbs when they move to the flowering stage. This lowers my electric cost and heat in the grow area as compared to using my 1000 watt HPS fixtures and leaves them (HPS) available to grow more non autos! Typically, I grow only 4-6 Northern Lights Auto Fems plants directly under a fixture and they produce quite well, with well developed buds. The resulting smoke helps me cope with my pain and nerve issues better than most or as well as any I have smoked , without leaving me couch locked! I sincerely believe, that it reduces the inflammation of tissue, and slows the progress of RA along with reducing my discomfort. I can heartily endorse the King's strain of Northern Lights after using it several times now. I have used NL seeds purchased by associates or myself from many sources, some have been very nice as well, but the King's NL Autos have met all my needs (size, quality, uniformity, yield, speed to harvest) better! The yeild has varied a bit from aprox. 2 oz. to over 5 oz each of buds, but most come in heavy! I should mention, that besides the organic compost in my soil mix, I do treat with Saltwater Farms-SeaCom-PGR, organic seaweed concentrate and Neptune's Fish Emulsion(both available from Johnny's Seeds) at about a week/10 days after starting and sometimes a week or two after the beginning of the bloom period, mixed according to directions. I use these products on all my crops grown in soil to round out my trace elements and produce good vigor, both in containers and in outdoors gardens, for pot or vegetables, for many years now. Happy Growing!
