Woodsman's Northern Light #5 Grow

Update: Flowering (Day 1)
Woodsman's Northern Lights #5 Grow is officially in flower! It's 12/12 and the countdown to buds is on!


I will be answering to the wife tonight! I dropped her off with here friends and from there went right over to Lowes MJ Supply Store and went shopping.

I found the 65 watt CFL's that MC showed us earlier, but at just under $17 each, to steep for me. I found something that will be an improvement from what I had planned and wasn't so bad at just under $10 each. I got four 40w CFL's (rated equiv @ 150) and two more 26w CFL's to match the two I already have.

So my two CFL arrays (one array on either side of the 100w HPS) are set like this 40-26-26-40. Pics below.

The schedule called for a nute feed today. I didn't want to disappoint them. Gave them all a weak dose of everything, including: 1/4 strength dose of Fish Emulsion to give them a tiny shot of nitrogen (they were looking like 'where's my food')! 1/4 strength of my FF flowering nutes. I couldn't resist and gave them a very tiny dose of Molasses as a little treat! Less than two teaspoons per gal.

I took a pH reading with my cheap soil meter and got an after a nute feeding, soil pH of 6.3. After the last veg feeding I had a pH of 6.7 and 6.8

So a flowering we are! Come on girls!:cheertwo::popcorn::yahoo::tommy::theband::rocker:

:bong:

Wife just called, so I'm out for an hour to pick here up. See ya'll then.

congrats on starting flowering!:allgood::headbang::passitleft::goof:
 
If i remember, the bloom change week by week with concentration of water?
And how much days before starting flower?

:welcome:Hey Super, not sure if I'm understanding your question? I'll try answering what I think your asking. Does my nute formula change during blooming? If that's what your asking, then yeas I start off with very weak doses and work my way up, but never to full dose levels. I alternate between feedings and watering with molasses (light dose) being part of both. I use distilled water only. I flush with a water and molasses tea for the last two watering sessions. Although on my last grow I started too early and ended up feeding and flushing again! If that wasn't your question, please ask again!:smokin:

:cheertwo:Thank you Jbleez. We're 1/3 done with this grow and down hill from here! This is were it gets exciting.:cheertwo:
Gratz on getting the girls into 12/12, they are looking good bro.:yahoo:

I light the increase in lumens too, your babies will too!:bravo:

:peace: brother.
Mountain my Man:passitleft:
I can hear them singing from here. I hope that's all they're doing. There could be boys in there with them And we wouldn't know it for a few days yet! You know, they're bodies have filled out in all the right places.:allgood::tommy::headbang: Something is bound to happen:grinjoint:
 
:cool:


:welcome: to the thread Love1Fear, glad to have ya here!
At this point the only smell from these vegging NL's is when I rub or touch the leaves (very mild). Otherwise no smell at all. This is a good thing as I've assured my wife many times that Northern Lights has a reputation for very little odor while growing. I would think that it is not the NL side of your cross, but the Blueberry side. I hope!
What are you planning on growing in your upcoming grow?:peace:

Well thats a great question I do have 20 more of these NL Blueberry seeds that I got with the 4 clones that I'm currently growing.

But I also have 10 seeds that I got from my last White Rhino grow after germinating a few bud sites on 1 plant (a great first time seed making success) the seeds where twice the size of the ones I received from nirvana and currently still are in there lil ziptop mini bag.
I am leaning toward the White Rhino just b/c of smell alone.

:welcome: Hey Love1, I'd love some of that NLxBlueberry for an outdoor grow.. that stuff must be killer on the brain. Is the White Rhino a non stinker normally? I'm always curious to add more to my list of wife friendly strains:passitleft:
 
I've had no smell issues with my White Rhino (Nirvana seeds) other then brushing against plants or smelling the plant up close. I have heard other people comment on there encounters of this strain but not a one ever said there seeds where from Nirvana. Its make a very pretty purple bud and is potent.

Well my wife has a nose like a police dog so I gotta be wary (at least for indoor):bong:

She knows you are growing right? :smokin: Just a sensitive nose? Cuz if I shut myself in with my girls it can be overwhelming even for me and my wife doesn't really like the smell in here, but I do...."breathes deep the smell of STONED"RoorRip.

This spearskunk smell is wierd....:smokin: (Sweet minty wet skunk...not really sure how to feel about it.)
 
Nirvana current price for White Rhino
28.71 US dollars for 10 unfeminised seeds or 35.81 for feminised
That is a very reasonable price,but are you sure about the feminized seeds? Maybe that's for 5 seeds not 10? Still pretty cheap!:cheertwo:

Spearskunk hah? Spearmint? Sounds great to me!
 
Well I am a day late and a dollar short. Congratulations on the switch! I saw that you added some more light. How many watts total you got going now? The girls look very nice. Ill be praying for females!

:grinjoint: Hey buddy, I just sat down after putting a chicken in the oven to roast and will be rolling one right after I answer you!

Thank for the grats on the flowering. It's coming up on 'peek a boo time', looking for the girls and boys. :passitleft: Last grow with the Mazar the plants were letting me know right after going 12/12. So first thing I do after raising the lights is go hunting for sex (just like when I was younger).

I've got a total of 284w. Looks like this:

Left Side......40w-26w-26w-40w all soft white
Center.... 100wHPS
Right Side....40w-26w-26w-40w all soft white

Not sure how many lumen though. :reading420magazine:
Edit update: 26000 total lumen, Make sense? I've got about 6 square feet of grow space so that's 4300+ lumen per sq ft. I don't know much about this stuff. Just breezed through a search of minimum requirements per sq ft and found two answers? 2000 lumen and 2500 lumen per sq ft. Is it safe to say that I have maybe twice the minimum requirement. Please tell me this is so.. I'd be a very happy grower.. I had pretty much just the 100w HPS last grow and that is about 9000 lumen (found on a search) at 6 sq ft of space that's only 1500 lumen per sq ft.
Now on to rolling :passitleft::passitleft:

Woodsman, great job and congrats on flowering your girls.:bravo:

Thanks Dro, HTL. Now to see how many girls I get. Dro I won't have a choice, these our my lights for the rest of the grow. Should be plenty of light for what I'm planning. I'll be doing an upper canopy grow or a SOG, so I should have enough.

Thanks for coming by guys.
Here have a ...:passitleft:
 
Yea.. Cannabis is a light whore tho, so towards the end of flower you might have to add a couple bulbs. but like i said you look straight for a while ;)

The only lights I have to use would be the daylights that I just took out. Is it possible to use a combination?
