Nutrients: none, no commercial feeds. No commercial fertilizers or soil mixes.
Repotted with coffee grounds, rotten leaves, a half cup of urine soaked char, and raised bed filler soil from my 18 yr old raised beds nurtured with organic living soil. No commercial mixes used. Just the sunshine mix in the original 4” starter pots for seedlings.

The waterings are from aquarium water with the sponge filter squeezed out in it. Has to add nutrients because it looks like chocolate milk. Rich Axolotl and Cory cat feces. Fish chit, but the real chit,

Grower comments:
NL-2 colas are so heavy that they are falling over, being supported by the SCROG net. NL-3 colas are very large and very dense. NL-5 is still dying but will produce a respectable yield.

Just a few pistils turning red/brown. Several weeks to go.

NL-2 falling over

NL-3 is a fatty

Certainly not the prettiest plants ever but large dense buds make up for the ugly. :grin:

They are looking great at the finish. The yellowish plant is producing the same size buds as the greener plants.

I started backing off nutes and lights in the 4x4, they are getting close. These are the biggest / densest buds I have grown to date, pretty excited for harvest.

Not much happening besides waiting to chop these girls. This is ~8.5 weeks now (60days)
I think they could be ready today if I wanted but going to wait till next week(end)
Their aroma is amazing. Super berry/citrus, the gas smell has lessened.

Trichome check from almost 2 days ago, new scope isn’t in yet.

Plants are doing well. They are not too tall. They are 15-17”tall across the spread. They would each produce about 150 seeds each at this size. Happy spring and reveg. Cold January and February seedlings just stay small. Bansai small. Can’t wait till the summer sun beefs them up. Thanks for looking.


The tall skinny one infront was the lil runt i dropped on its head when I slipped in the snow. Thin buds but it grew back nicely.

5-4-25 update
number of seeds dropped 3 on 1-1-24
Number of female plants: 2, culled 1 male
Number of days from sprout 125
Number of days from flower 60
Lights on temp/rh around mid 80s with lights on, RH between 45-50%
Watering/feeding frequency is every 3 days now.
Comments: They are getting close. The bud I removed for rot was a result of the humidifier, same for the spotty leaves. The discharge tube got bumped and was too close to that plant. No bugs. Unsure about chop time. We are going out of town next week and I think I might let it go till we get back. It’ll will be only a water feed, on the timer, so I don’t have to worry about ec/ph check. I don’t really want a lot of amber but I don’t want them to over dry either. I’ll check the trichs later this week but I feel it would be a safer bet to let them keep growing unattended than to be left drying unattended. I’m not sure yet. Good luck y’all! :+1:t2::victory_hand:t2:

I am officially complete with my NL#5vx grow!:partying_face::partying_face::sign_of_the_horns::sign_of_the_horns::sign_of_the_horns:

I chopped this morning, because i tested the majority of the buds on the edge of the plant and they were ready, so i decided to just go ahead a chop. Get ready guys!




THIS IS THE MOST I HAVE EVER HARVEST FROM ONE PLANT!! :exploding_head::exploding_head::exploding_head:

Wet weight 2 lbs, 0.4oz!

Holy crap!! Thank you @Olaf.ILGM and @dbrn32 for this Is opportunity to grow along side my friends on here!! :potted_plant::rose::partying_face::partying_face::sign_of_the_horns::sign_of_the_horns:

The trichome shot i posted in last post, was from center of plant. There were only 5 buds left with white pistils still on them, and i was reading from those spots. When i checked the trichomes on the edge buds they were atleast 30% amber.
