D.A.A.S.69 Ah okay that makes sense, also I got mine from Expert Seeds, I did notice very small bits of frost on them today, not sure what it is but it looks good, you can just about see it in the pic. I will look into unsulfered molasses and yeah that’s cool look forward to 😊

rizcuny, nice man, she ain't gonna be doing nothing but getting bigger and fatter, nice.
Has she got any smell much to her ?
All my NLights, didn't even smell much, until the last 3weeks, they smelled just like pineapple.

 

[rizcuny]

D.A.A.S.69 They smell a lot to be honest I had to fit a carbon filter last week now it doesn’t stink up the room just the tent

Week 12, the girls are really growing the buds the last couple weeks. I measured how tall they are 26" and 22" from the coco, thought they would be much taller at 12 weeks but as long as the buds keep going I'll be happy.

 

[rizcuny]

They look very healthy tho. Slow and steady wins the race

 

[uncledoug]

rizcuny Healthy yes, so far haven't had any problems, Nirvana says they're bred to be short so maybe they're normal, don't know for sure.

 

[rizcuny]

Yeah mine are no taller than 3ft from the soil and that’s only a few of the colas

Week 13 - Buds are growing every day, I have used Brer Rabbit Molasses for 1 watering the last two weeks, seems to help them grow but since this is the 1st time growing NL I have nothing to compare. I figure another 3 weeks or so. I have trouble seeing the tricomes with my loupe so I'll keep looking until I see amber tricomes, they should be easier to see.
I'm going to visit my daughter and son in law in Texas at the end of the month for 8 days and have to wait and see if I have time to harvest before I leave or give them a flush while I'm away, i'm leaning towards the 8 day flush because if I harvest before I go then I have to bottle and cure with no one to burp and watch humidity. It's gonna be close.

 

[rizcuny]

They look dope, fatter than mine I believe, I’m on day 70 now beginning of week 11, hoping to harvest in 2 weeks

 

[uncledoug]

Thanks man, I;m on day 91 and the buds have just started to get fatter in the last week or so. Hope you make your harvest time.

 

[uncledoug]

End of week 14, it;s looking like the smaller plant "plant on left" will be done 1st, at least 95% of the pistils are brown and curled. Plant on right is around 70%. Buds continue to fatten. I had to put a 3rd plant "my manifolded plant" in the tent due to it outgrowing my T5 set up, this plant has a good 5 weeks left until harvest so guess I will have to feed all 3 nutes while away on vacation.

Edit = Plans are changing, check my other post "Going on vacation at harvest time".

 

[uncledoug]

End of week 15.
Almost time, most of the tricomes are cloudy and a few amber. Plan on flushing in a couple days or so, should I start flushing with ph water and molasses or should I flush 1st with water then after a day or two flush with water and molasses? Or does it really matter?

 

[uncledoug]

Well here we are at the end of 16 weeks, getting more amber tricomes. Going to harvest Tuesday then off to Texas on Wednesday. I took a sample off one bud, been drying for a few days, going to try it tonight and will report back what I think of the high.

 

[rizcuny]

Looking frosty, I’m harvesting my NLautos on Tuesday aswell

 

[uncledoug]

Hey @rizcuna, Just tried the piece of bud, came on quick, relaxing, couch lock coming on now. The first sign of CL was finding myself staring at the PC screen for 5 min. then it came to me, oh ya I was replying to rizcuna. lol Think that after cure this will be some great smoke.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Looking nice uncledoug, nice job of waiting until ripe, people that harvest early, are doing a bad thing.

 

[uncledoug]

Thank you D.A.A.S.69. It was easier waiting this time since I have a good supply of Blue Mystic . When I return from Texas I'll start the next grow, I bought 3 SFV OG Kush and recieved 3 free Blue Headwreck with my order from Paul "New 420 Guy", that was a nice surprise. I'll do the Kush first. It is a daytime smoke that won't cause anxiety according to Paul. Will be my 1st Photo grow. I will use Mega Crop, just recieved my 21 lb bag yesterday. Wish me luck.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

uncledoug, Good deal !!! Paul is a nice guy.
I'm sure that you will do a great job with your seeds.

16 plus weeks and Harvest time :big-smile:. Chopped and hung the smaller plant 22" last night and the bigger one 26" this morning. They're in the closet with a fan for circulation and plenty of ventilation "no door on closet just a darkening window blind". The house stays at about 72 DegF and 60% humidity. They will be hanging un checked for the next 10 days. Hope it goes well, no mold or not too dry.
