Have you grown NL in greenhouse in Northern Europe?

[MrRudeSnowman]

Hi,


So, has anyone grown Nothern Lights (mine is from White Label aka Sensi) in Northern part of Europe?

Just trying to understand when i should expect it to be ready. Day is still 17 hours long here...

Can i start countdown when it's 12 hours long?

Thing is a beast... i need wider angle to capture the whole thing and remove camouflage.

it would be around 8-10 weeks once flowers start to form for it to be ready

But when grown outside, flowering will still trigger after light goes 12/12? I guess so...

It's different outside. At the latitude that I live (40 degrees) , they usually start blooming around late july/early august. Which is well before there is 12 hours of darkness.

 

[indica vet]

it is the reduction in daylight that triggers flowering not specifically 12/12 photoperiod

 

[MrRudeSnowman]

Ok thanks, that seems to be true in my experience. Fingers crossed it's done before frost.

Outdoor hybrids and indicas usually start flowering when light drops below 14,5 hrs a day.

 

[MrRudeSnowman]

Nice! Thanks! This kind of info is hard to come by... and sounds true in my limited experience.

Those look very sativa heavy for NL, I've grown White Label NL before, excellent strain.

10 days later... huge growth in size.

Just like last year, i have under estimated size of the plant. I should have topped out at 1,5M but i guess growing in greenhouse they never do. It's 2,80M now.

Kind of happy but more compact plant would be nice for a change.

Wow your greenhouse is huge to be able to house a 9ft tall plant with some room to spare! I'm jealous of both your greenhouse and your beautiful plant MrRudeSnowman. She might be touching the plastic by harvest time.

She already is toughing on a side, but that's where some creative usage of bending and insect-net come into play!

Have you got a journal? Would love to see what this yields.

 

[MrRudeSnowman]

Nop, no journal. I am home too little these days to document it all. I post some info under this thread.

Greetings from the green side. Yes, when look at it it seems like more sativ'ish plant that indica. I guess that's the way it sometimes goes with hybrids. As you can see by the stem... this thing is 4 real.
