BloomBox Grow #4 - Northern Lights (Sensi Feminized)

[RickyRicardo]

Hello fellow farmers,

Here we go, I unsuccessfully attempted the first grow with a White Widow seed, but that seed did not sprout.

So I decided to undertake my next grow using three mother seeds at the same time. So far two have shown signs of life.

So I am starting my second grow report with my BloomBox.

So I decided to now give it a try with three cultivars I had one feminized seed for: Arjan's Strawberry Haze, Hawaiian Snow and Northern Lights I ordered a dozen seeds of another cultivar but it never made it as I think it was confiscated somewhere.

This means quite a bit of delay as I only have one seed of each, I will have to grow mothers (if it hopefully successfully roots etc...) and make cuttings.

Good first time experience I think!

I attach my feeding schedule, the Bloombox has a suggested feeding schedule of 8 weeks and I adjusted to 7 to accommodate this cultivar.

Constructive comments are welcomed.

So far I soaked the seed in pH 5.65 water until signs of life. Waiting for the casing to break open before I move it to the BloomBox.

Cheers

good luck on your grow what kind of light do you have in that unit.

I have a 150 Watt Power Compact on the Veg side of the unit and a 400 watts Metal Halide on the Flower side of the unit.

you should have gotten the Producer, and did a small DIY veg space for cuts:rofl

Where did you score the Northern Light seeds? 5x2 is a bomb ass strain

 

[RickyRicardo]

Donk Frog, that was a big internal dillema I had, and because of space and the fact I did not want to have anything 'patenté' I opted for the BloomBox. Beside, I don't smoke that much, I just want to avoid to get tainted stuff. Me and a few buddies around here had bad experience recently.

One got so out of his mind, he tried to commit suicide... Turns out there was something additional in the batch he got.

Looks like a great grow you got, I don't think my seed will germinate by the looks of it, you have any cuttings to share in the spring?

Cheers

Northern Lights 
[Sensi Seeds]

Indica
Origins - NL5 x NL2
Flowering - 45-50 days
Harvest - Mid October


The Northern Lights (NL) is one of the most potent and famous indica varieties. Even though there are a lot of copies circulating around with variations on the name, there are only 3 pure types from the original development of Northern Lights, which Sensi was lucky to acquire.

Historically, the NL 1, a longer, more stretchy type with a fresh scent and good bud formulation, was the basis of the NL cross that was sold as Sensi's Northern Lights. Currently, the NL 5 has taken over the most important role in the cross. Because NL 5 adds potency and reduces flowering time, but is not dominant in taste and smell, it also plays a starring role in the overall breeding plan at the Cannabis Castle. It has functioned as a test case for many crosses. The f1 generation is very predictable, giving uniform results and passing uniformly onto its hybrids it parents. The NL 2 contributes to the overall vigor of the plant and strength of the high, also lending its spider mite resistance to the cross.

Highly adapted to indoor growing, Northern Lights is a satisfying yielder that can finish in just over 6 weeks. The best results are obtained from hydro culture gardens. Small sea of green plants or bigger indoor plants will both do well, but remember that yield is directly related to the amount of light and space.

A petite plant averaging between 4 and 5 feet, NL has dense, resin-rich flowers and wide-fingered indica leaves. The aroma is pungently sweet and the taste is a flavorful mixture of sweet and spicy. The high is a potent physical experience that feels comfortably lazy and relaxing.

Nortern Lights' fame extends to the harves festivals where it claimed the overall High Times Cannabis Cup win in 1990, and the Cup's award for the pure Indica category in 1988-89.
