First Grow In Over 20 Years! Northern Lights Under 600W LED

Great pics and terrific second harvest! All amber for the third harvest should be a good knockout med :).

I'm not pH'ing my nutes now, nor am I slurry testing until I see an issue. I'll be watching your experiment closely :cool:.

Thanks Shed; I’ve had a couple of bumps in the road but I am pretty happy with the final results.

Cool that you are not pH-ing nutes either now; I think keeping a lookout for issues is the way to go. I do have a couple bottom leaves that have died and I will have to look into that and monitor it but so far is very limited and the canopy looks extremely healthy. If I have any issues I will send you a line.

Thanks, Sauga... It's not spectacular like over there at the Pinapple Palace but I am pretty happy with it. :thumb: :laugh:

Flowering plants in the best of health eat their lower leaves so I wouldn't be too concerned about that.
 
Awesome harvest homer looks like your going to have a good supply of meds st different stages! Excellent! Nice pics as well!

Well, they have only been flowering about a week so I am not sure if that is still ok but I will be posting some pics of the leaves soon.

Thanks, Dutchman. So far so good thanks to everyone's help!!
 
Another busy day in the garden today. I moved my mostly harvested old plants into the veg closet because they don’t need much space now and are almost done and set the 300 W LED light to 12/12.

And here is the next generation now under of the big 600 W light in the main budding area!

I am pretty happy with the quadlining technique and now that my branches seem pretty firmly set I removed all my tiedowns to make watering easier.

The canopy looks nice and even, I would say just as good as my last crop using a scrog but without the hassle of having a net get in the way of watering and removing overflow and such. Good system!

Unfortunately, I have a fair number of dead bottom leaves on the next generation but I am hoping it is due to either the fact that I really dried the suckers out between wanderings to promote root growth or because I had them packed too tightly in the closet without ventilation and they got a little mouldy. I did find a little bit of mould on my wall in one area so I did put a fan in there last week but I am hoping that might be it. Anyway, I am hoping it is one of those two and I will stop losing bottom leaves. Other than that everything looks good.

You did a good job leveling the canopy, I stopped using scrogs because they’re just not needed if you top and train right!

Thanks, Pennywise. The scrog did work well for me but was a constant pain to work around so I am really happy my training worked pretty well without it.

Scrogs are a pain in the butt for sure.

I have been checking out your Perpetual Playhouse Journal and have gotten to about page 75 whereabouts you collected some pollen from a male plant. Pretty interesting next level thread.

I was wondering do you mostly grow from clones or seeds and do you have a preference? I ask because I was thinking once I have a few plants I like I could just keep things going by taking cuttings for each next generation as I put that plant into flower and I wonder if there is a drawback to that as opposed to starting from seed each time. But I don’t know if I want to grow all year round anyway because in the summer it does seem like it would be hard to keep up with, with all the time it takes so I was thinking of maybe just trying to grow a lot in the winter and take summers off. But time will tell.
 
I’ve grown from seed so far but with my next grow I’ll be hunting for some keepers then I can run clones.

You must be related to Dutchie, Homer. I'm amazed at how much info both you guys can absorb and keep it. I have a hard time most mornings remembering to wake up, so my hat goes off to you and Dutchie as the biggest sponges I know.
Well done!

I appreciate the compliment Sauga but it really isn’t deserving because being retired and with not much else to do with this crappy weather I can spend an incredible amount of time researching but really it takes so much time I don’t understand how you can work full time and keep your garden growing so you really need to take some of that credit yourself.

I don’t even know if I will have time to grow in the summer when there are things to do even without working. This is my first winter home being retired and I have to admit I feel like a naughty schoolboy who gets to stay home and do whatever he wants but it is nice.

Good to hear you don’t think there is anything wrong with running clones because I just see it as a way to save money on seeds and keep my best producers. I do have a couple clones of my Northern Lights in my latest generation so I will see how they produce pretty soon.

If you have a female plant that has been feminized and you pollinate it with a male will the seeds still be feminized that it produces?
