    First grow in my first grow tent

    It can be tough to start a seed or seedling in the middle of a larger pot, they need a lot of moisture. Ive found higher temperatures helped a lot with my germination speed/rate. I like a wet paper towel in sealed plastic cup on a seedling heat mat - then transfer to dirt at 1-2"

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    Drying went about as expected. Maybe a little quick but my vent fan only has the one speed and its what pushes the air through carbon filter (which is absolutely necessary) With the rest of the smaller branches rendered yesterday, I broke down the big cola this morning - been curious about what...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    Ill admit - the branch that I pollenated was on the smaller side, so it was (I won't say "dry") but enough to render for the seeds. And I was curious to crack open a bud and see/smell what's up so far. Still, very encouraging, super stinky - kinda Piney, skunky, spicy, little turpentine/gas...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    Wow, she's a beast! Structurally it looks a bit more like the other 2 plants from my last batch - but it is outside in the ground, so who knows how that might affect the form. I do still have one in a 3g outside myself but it was a runt from the start, so maybe not the best example. Id love to...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    Nice... Haven't grown NL in many years(20+) - so Im not sure how this will compare - or even how it is supposed to be. I have used up to 5 gallon pots in my tents before, but because of my limited space I usually run 3 gallons. Feels like 7 gallons would be something of a waste for my small...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    After drying out the pot and giving her 15 hrs darkness, pulled the trigger this morning - gave her a wet trim and cut her down. Got her hanging in the tent with the light off - Not perfect conditions but the best I can do. The tent is 55%ish humidity and slightly cooler than the house, also the...

    Whats up with this plant? Bad genetics?

    She'll probably grow out of it...Ive had some weirdos in the past and they've all ended up looking normal by the end, even when Id hoped they wouldn't.

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    Ran out of my normal flower feed - trying something a little different, maybe a little risky... I got some bags of potash(0-0-60) and triple phosphate(0-45-0) Before you panic...Im doing very small doses (1/6th tsp per gallon) and adjusting my ph before feeding it out. I know there's other...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    Progress check, I know I said weekend harvest but Im getting a little concerned. Scoped around the plant today, and despite all the remaining white pistils - a large amount of the Trichs are going amber, especially at the top. One source says that Northern Lights just retains a lot of white up...

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    (Wo)man Down!! Lost the biggest of the topped clones, the green crack. Probably best case scenario as far that goes - I still have 2 others of the same strain going out there. But still sad... Strong winds took the largest branch - which was braced to the other branches - so they all ended up...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    Nice...How many weeks is the NL? How tall? And what's your tent height? Im curious to hear how the flowering goes, my experiences have varied so far. Trying to speed up my own grows - Ive found the bottleneck happens in the flower tent, as that's like 2-3 times longer than veg. And I really...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    The oldest plant and only remaining indoors (until I can do a super duper deep clean) is at 12 weeks now. My original hopes for 4/8 - 12 week grow weren't far off, but they were off. Although a 5/7 could still be possible in the future...Always the optimist. Its definitely gonna be 13-14 weeks...

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    And 2 weeks later - seeing a number of swollen calyces, so seems like the pollination was successful (not that there's any trick to it) I don't think she'll produce much bud but the seeds should be fine. Actually, the largest and best looking seeds I made last year came from the smallest plant...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    So, an eventful couple weeks...Indoors and out. Inside the tents - I had to give up on that out of control sativa. After all that bending and everything it finally went to flower but didn't have enough structure to produce anything worth saving from the spider mites. So after a few treatments...

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    Meanwhile... Getting back to that 4th gen. clone from April that I was finally to grow out - I won't go into the genealogy now, if your curious you can scroll up a bit. She had a late start and a less than ideal location but...She's at 16 inches and developed enough pistils to get started. A...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    No end to the issues indoors (this one tent at least, the other has been great) - between the unexpected genetics and massive flower stretch, the light failure and now pests. I did a thorough cleaning/bleaching before starting the grow, and an early preventative treatment with Arber on both...

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    All monsters, all too big for their pots already (Tough keeping everybody watered and fed) Ive started my mid week 1/2 strength feeds - been using a 20-20-20, Ill have to pick up something different for flowering when the time comes but seems to working well enough for now. The really early...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    Summertime here. I think my vent fan and filter are somewhat oversized, so I don't usually have any high temperature problems. I bought a cheap digital temp/humidity controller for the fan system one time, but the thing turned out to be so impossibly complicated to program I gave up. Psyching...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    Disaster? Turns out the 300w light lost about 1/3 of her LEDs at some point. Not sure when - thought maybe it looked a little dark...Maybe a sudden drop in power might account for some of the later stretchiness? Or slow move to flower? Anyway, had to switch the light back to my A100 Aero - so...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    This fricken thing will not stop. She's been on 12/12 for a month now, she's grown like 150% and is still not showing any sign of flower. Ive bent her every which way with wire trying to keep her off the light - but she's filled the tent so its tough. Not sure what to do with her, I could trim...
