Northern Lights - First Ever Grow

I’d love to see some of your ladies someday. I read that you are a lover of indicas…me too!! Most all of my strains are indica dominant. Trying Mango Sherbert, Cherry Pie, Pineapple Chunk, LSD , Peyote Critical, and Cookies Kush this year. 4 of them in my greenhouse and 2 in my good friends

We have witnessed several on here this year not pay attention to light hrs and started flowering. Your on point my friend, get your plant set on the hrs outside INSIDE!

How many make this error each year can’t be counted
I learned the hard way years ago when my usual sativa seeds I grew each year got replaced with some of the Indica that’s abundant today. Indica dominant strains will flower quick if there’s a reduction in the light hrs from inside to outside transplant.

I watched as my plant flowered then when 3/4 ready they started reveging, then mold turned them to dust. Hard lesson learned.

Glad to see your not one whose gonna repeat it. Good luck growing my friend your well on your way.

2nd seedling leaves are starting to twist


I’ve seen people say it’s normal, some say it’s ph, and some say calmag deficiency. Not sure what to think. It’s in ProMix organic soil with nothing added, I use RO water

Have you seen a leaf twist like that @PurpNGold74 ?
I wouldn’t worry about it @SuperBeef she looks healthy, as do the others. I’ve never heard of a seedling with a cal mag deficiency, I seriously doubt it has one.

Yup. A good few of my seeds come out like that… just weird… nothing to be alarmd about. She should straighten herself up with new growth.

Haha I think @GreenJewels tagged me cuz i always have ugly seedlings

Day 21 above ground



I transplanted into a 1.5gallon pot around 5 days ago. When should I start hardening off outside? @IslandGrown76
It’s final home will be a 25gallon fabric pot outside.

2nd seedling Day 17

Now? They are big enough to take a bit of heat. Watch that midday blaze tho. Shade recommended from noon to 4-5

Seedling 1 Day 41

Seedling 2 Day 37

Both have now been transplanted into 25 gallon fabric pots outside for about 5 days now, this will be their permanent home. They look so small in pictures now in the giant pots haha. Little bit of sun scalding during the hardening off process, but nothing too bad. Seedling 2 is definitely growing much slower compared to the first seedling, despite same conditions for both.

@IslandGrown76 Do you top your outdoor plants? I’m going back and forth on it

1 Like

Yes, several times. I usually have topped them twice before they make it outside, and then usually top another couple times. Just the central tops not all of what will become flowering tops

are you transplanting into bigger containers @SuperBeef

@IslandGrown76 They are in 25 gallon fabric pots now.

My larger plant has like 7 nodes now. I’m just afraid to cut when it has such pretty growth everyday haha.

Here is my larger plant from the side. Does it look bare in the middle?

You’ll have more tops if you top, no need to worry it’s a weed!!

No, but I would top it for sure. Top in the evening before dark so the plant can rest and follow up with some watering. I would mix up a 1/2 tablespoon of organic unsulphured molasses to a half gallon of water and give her some of that after topping. You’ll be happy you topped her, and you’ll be able to do it again before she flowers. May I see a clearer pic of the top @SuperBeef ?
