You will get a harvest regardless. Feeding the plant will substantially increase that yield and potency. Using living organic soil that feeds the plant for you, dictated by the plant's needs, will take potency to new levels. Which ever works for you, choose one and run with it.

Im gonna try the LOS next grow i believe sue. I am very much intrigued by it, but at the same time, worried about pests and things. I think my ole lady would have a panic attack if she were to look at my little ones and see worms crawling through my medium lol. All the clovers and other growth on yours, those all grew naturally right or did you plant those with it? I cant really remember. Im also so interested in doing an dwc grow. never messed with hydroponics but i love the idea and the results they seem to give. So itll be a toss up.

Oh yea, I also switched the light cycle to 18/6 yesterday. I've had it on a 20/4. I raised the lights last night before bed and I swear just during the lights off cycle they grew rapidly. I woke up this morning and they were almost touching the lights again so I'll have to raise them by the end of the day most likely.

She won't ever see the worms. LOL. They hide from the light. Actually, a healthy living organic soil will fight off pests quite well. Not that we don't get pests, just that they don't do the same damage one can expect from other approaches. The soil is resilient.
The living mulch was planted at the same time I dropped the seeds. There are many types of living mulch. SoilGirl has some really sweet stuff growing on hers.

Ok got ya. I about had a panic attack myself yesterday. I though the misses was gonna make me get rid of them, but phew that didn't have to happen. I woulda been quite disappointed. Just had to put a lock on the closet door, I was keeping it open so air could go in and out. I found out real quick that with that closet door closed it gets hot and "stale" real quick. Thankfully there is a vent in the closet but it was blowing what the thermostat is set on into the closet. Boom idea. I went in the attic and changed the venting, so now that it's open all that would be stale closet air is now being vented into the attic

hello and good afternoon... (rooting for the packers who else? lol) anyways thought id give a update and pictures. When i ordered these seeds i chose northern lights because i heard the smell/odor wasnt so strong and it was quite discreet. I dont know what these people are talking about because its like a wall that hits me everytime i go into the grow room. thinking about getting a couple of those ona odor neutralizers. My last grow was ice wreck and it didnt seem to smell this strong when it was in its vegatative state. any how they seem to be doing great still. I will probably have to water again tomorrow or the next day, the pots are already feeling a bit lighter.
If im not mistaken the oldest has showed its preflower signs...
and another of the older....
The younger one is looking quite amazing as well..
and again the two together...

Upon looking at the younger of the 2 I see that it's showin its so preflowers as well. Hopefully they are both females but if not and I have a male and female I might just let its pollen spread so I will have some more northern light auto seeds. Haven't fully decided yet
I do not see any pistils in your close up photograph of your plant.
Here is the Female pre flower

Smitty, you have a nice grow going on. Recently I did a indoor grow of Northern Lights and half way through flowering the smell was so strong you would have thought I was raising a family of skunks in the house. I had two exhaust fans with carbon filters and they were just over powered by the skunk smell. Needless to say, the wife was going insane. Even now after several months of curing, when you pop open a jar the smell takes over the room. The smoke is great, but I am saving my remaining Northern Light seeds for an outdoor grow, either that, are I will have to get a new wife....hahahaha!

My auto doubled in height over one night, and then a few days later it did it again. After it got to a little over a foot it stopped and started stacking buds
