Sensi Seeds Northern Lights Feminized x3

[Budget Buds]

With plants vegged long enough to show pre-flowers you will definitely need to move at least one of them, seeing their vigor they should get pretty massive and quickly overgrow the 60x60cm space. But it's all good if you have another space ready to use in this case.
The system you've built looks exactly like the most expensive one sold by GHE, I don't remember its name but you certainly know it. A friend used the GHE system, he had some great result with it but he had to be very tidy and precise in his dosages because one mistake could have terrible consequences when plant's metabolism is pushed to its limit all the time.

I'm not 100% sure of the system you are referring to, if you could link it I'd appreciate it, I got the idea from a youtube video a long long time ago, he was growing peppers in it vertically and they were round tubes. I did square for better sq inches and originally did ebb n flo with them.

In about 2014 I was bored with the ebb n flo and wanted to try aeroponics, 70% less water & nutrients and about 100% faster growth when all the boxes are checked and the system is running in peak shape... BUT one power failure or clogged emitter and you could have a crop failure in a matter of hours...... zero room for error. Def not for most people, But I liked to see what was possible and pushed the envelope as far as I could......

As for the NL I'm hoping they show characteristics of a real NL and they do not double in size in flowering

I'll go look for a link for the system from GHE, it's the earoflo system, there is different sizes/

As you said it's the kind of system with no place for mistake, it is deadly in a few hours. My friend lost half a crop because of a malfunction he corrected after a work day only but it was enough to cull the plants impacted;

Hey @Budget Buds how is your project going?
I hope you are well

It's going ok, I've been having issues with nutrients and am currently hoping the flush and regular nutrients I am now feeding them is going to help.

I haven't forgot about the thread, Just embarrassed that I cant seem to get these fuckers figured out yet.....

If they dont work out I do have 3 clones of each of the plants and will just set my HPA system back up because I have that dialed in and never have issues like what I'm having now

 

[mr.brunch]

I see nothing to be embarrassed about mate… getting a little crowded in there though… what stage/age are they at?

 

[superx]

Hope you got over your issues and the cuttings provided back up if not..

I couldn't figure out how to dial in my environment and nutes under LED so I gave up and switched to HID. All my problems went away after I did so. Maybe you're having the same issue?

Too bad this thread didn't go to harvest, OP should have used a more forgiving system for the first grow with new plants.
It's not that hard to switch from HPS to LED, I made it in 23 after decades of HPS and got a few issues with temps and feedings but nothing major and my first harvest with LED was better than any HPS grown buds I had done so far.

It's not over, just on the back burner for now, But I dont know what you mean by a more forgiving system?? I went FROM a high pressure aeroponics to attempting to do the plants in organic soil and I couldn't get the nutrients dialed in on the soil , (I've always had problems with soil grows and dont know why) I also had a big job that required my full attention for better than a month and a half and the plants suffered. I've grown with LED lights since 2017 when I made my 1st grow light from cob leds and a meanwell driver so I'm assuming you misread ? Not 100% sure ....

Anyways I cut the plants down about a week ago and reinstalled my HPA system and all its required equipment and popped 3 sensi seeds Amnesia Jelly autos so I can do a seed run to get seeds for this summers grow.....

When sensi had a black friday sale a few weeks ago I bought another 3 pack of their NL and as soon as this current run is over I'm going to redo the NL grow in HPA and make sure it's done right In hindsight I should've just stuck with what I knew well, and thats aeroponic growing , I made too many changes (variables) and allowed my work to engulf all of my time... I had been told organic soil growing is easy but like any other soil grow indoors, I somehow mucked it up .... This next time will be different

@ReprobateMind There seems to be alot of info that contradicts each other on led growing, My experience is that when the plants are grown under leds they require a shit ton more cal-mag to keep the plants happy, if I only use the recommended amounts they'll throw deficiencies every time...

My bad, as we spoke about HPA systems I thought you used one for this run. I grow in soil and I have found some plants are more difficult to please than others. This whole year I ´ve grown some Sowahh and even after 3 runs with the same clones I didn’t find the correct level for feedings. But I have still been able to produce some very good smoke despite the imperfect feeding and terrible climate. You could have shown us what the plants looked like even if not perfect just to see the morphology of the different females.
edit to correct a few typos, the subway is very bumpy in my city

Theres a picture about 6 posts up that shows what they looked like

I meant the flowers' shapes, sizes and the different smells. I've never grown pure Northern Light, the closest I've done was Aurora Borealis NL#5 x SK#1 from The Flying Dutchmen, they were grown outdoor at lat 44 in place where wine has been done for centuries. I had half a dozen females but they were so close they could have been clones, they were very fast maturing being totally mature in the first days of October, good yielder, great sweet smell and lovely high. The AB flowers were some of the best I've grown at this place, too bad they are not available anymore. I'm curious to know if the NL from Sensi is still worth a spot in a grow.

They never made it to flower. As soon as my amnesia's are done I'll pop the NL and do a seriously detailed journal.... beginning to end
