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

lol, really good Homer! I'm glad you did that response. It's a long story, but in a nutshell it came up one day that I was waiting to use the WikiShed word, and I mentioned it to Shed. So I said to him when I did use it act surprised.
Boy did that ever sink fast, but you had me laughing really good!

I thought it was a funny and accurate name for him. Suits him well!!

That there is a nanner:

Some have pollen and some don't. When they do you better catch them early if you don't want your plant to be seeded. At this stage you wouldn't have any seeds unless it opened a while ago and you haven't found the seeds yet!

If you want really sleepy meds, keep waiting. I'd call that 10% amber. Since you have the rest harvested why not wait for 50% and see how those are!

"Shed" is fine! I don't need more than that .

 

[MrSauga]

nailed it!

Ya I agree. Let's stick to Shed.

Good post on the nanner...thanks.

Hey, @MrSauga I wondered if you have harvested anything yet? I started my autos within a day or so of you and I took a partial harvest of about a third of my plants but I know we have different strains. I have been taking clippings testing making mini batches of oil for at least a month or more every week or so and honestly I really can’t tell much of a difference from the earliest to the latest so I don’t think it is all that critical that you catch them at just the right time so I wouldn’t be that worried about when you decide to. Maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about and some may disagree but that has been my observation if that helps at all.

I did what Krip said and took a sample. Didn't like it. So, right now I was just on my way to check. I want lots of cloud, some clear, and just a bit amber.
I want the most THC and I think fast drying the buds for sampling is not my style. Taste is big to me, sample or not, so I'll just stick with the trichs so to speak.

Wow, never underestimate your brain Homer. Lots of good knowledge up there from what I've learned about you.
In this case it comes to personal choice, and everyone goes with the colors and I feel safest that way. I don't want to be second guessing later... what if I waited another day..what if I was too late. In my mind, it's what works.

Thank you WikiS… errr..I mean Shed.

I will have a look at the link thanks. Something must have pollen somewhere because I found a seed in one of my Northern Lights plants already and a nice big fat dark one which I am actually pretty happy about; beats buying more seeds. Funny thing is though the seed was on a different plant than the stamens I see so I think I had a cross-pollination between two female Northern Lights plants which again is great in my mind. I think tomorrow I will collect all the stamens I can find.

Thanks for the advice on the 50% Amber because I wasn’t really sure where I was at and what percentage will even go Amber. Like I said the only thing limiting how long I can go on that light is when I start my next generation and I have check when I did it on my previous generation to figure out when that is.

Yes taking a sample I think is a really good idea. And I forgot that you smoke and that that would make things a lot different for you. I used to smoke years back but I’m doing the oil thing now and it’s working out pretty good for me. But yes making oil I don’t have to worry about taste and that’s a big consideration.

Yup. The banana grew right out of my bud not in a sac which I had never seen before I read the link. They say you should toss plants that do that but it was so minor I wouldn't mind planting the seeds from it because it was a nice producer.

Actually, I want to make seeds but I think I want to try some different strains too because I see buds in a whole different world than mine size wise so maybe try and get some better producers before I make seeds. Or is that the trap everyone falls into?

 

[InTheShed]

Most folks buy way more seeds than they can grow!

And when they find nanners, they pluck them and keep searching for more. Some will chop early if it's becoming a big problem. Nanners are can be caused by stress or genetics, so if you find seeds created from nanner pollen it's possible the next gen will hermie as well.

I can certainly see wanting to experiment with different strains so I can see the urge to buy but my thriftiness makes me want to find one good strain and make my own seeds. Not really sure which route I will go.

My plant was under a lot of stress from my pH fiasco so I am hoping it was that and not genetics. Besides there were very few nanners so even if it was genetic I think it would be worth growing the seeds to see what I get. I might change my mind I don’t know. Pretty tempting to get some different strains like a white widow or kush.

 

[InTheShed]

I find it a lot easier to clone to keep a strain around, but I can see myself running out of room trying to keep them alive, so I reckon that's when seeds make sense!

Part of my new crop is cloned and yes it is a convenient way to keep things going. But unless I grow perpetually I will need more seeds so maybe I will end up buying some new strains and doing some cloning and also trying to make some seeds. I find they take so long to grow that it’s easy to get carried away planning ahead.

Nothing really to report other than my plants are looking healthy.
