Breeder's Description - 'Northern Lights'
|
Northern Lights is highly adapted to indoor growing. Nearly all promising modern indoor strains contain NL genes. High flower to leaf ratio, compact buds, good yields and exceptional resin production are all characteristics displayed by this wonderful plant. Northern Lights is a most lucrative plant for the indoor grower. The smoke is full bodied yet somewhat neutral in flavour.

The 3 plants on the smoke report is the smaller one that’s on the right with tape holding the stem in the middle. I liked this plant, it was very easy to grow. It liked the nutes but can burn if you're not careful. Even split the stem in the middle 3 weeks to go (my fault) and she didn't blink at all, just kept growing and filling out. She did exploded about the 4th week when I added BudBooster by Dr.Hornby's.
She was only about 3 feet tall, vegged her at 30 days and 12 inches.
Finished in 52 days and 75% Amber-25% Cloudy.
When The buds are pinched, it smells like a kerosene. Some fuel like smell but can't pinpoint it. Really danky, musky smell with a hint of pine, resins makes it all sticky and worthwhile. It's very stoney weed with couchlock that hits later like 5-10 minutes. Taking a bong hit seems to really bring out the coolness in the smoke. The stone is there alright, it’s that day later you may still be stoned! I gave it a 9 because it ranks right up there with good weed.

Used MiraceGrow potting soil with 20% vermiculate and 30% Perlite in a 2 gallon pot.
400HPS Hortilux
MG Ferts
Veg-18-18-21
Flowering 10-52-10
SuperThrive
Dr. Hornby's BigBud 0-1-4
Used the Ferts about once a week with watering every 2-3 days.
Used Mag (salt) with water about 2 times in flowering.
Used Dr.Horby's Bigbud about the 3th week and then on, increasing dosages, cut out the MG ferts about the last 2 weeks and just use Dr. Hornby's 0-1-4 to flush then clear water flushing in the last week.
I would think a little more time flushing (1 more week) would help a little with the buds and not the leaves since it's not a indica plant and they take up a lot of water and easier to flush because it goes thru the plants system faster. Since this plant was 50% indica / 50% sativa just makes it a little harder to flush.. Probably from my being inexperienced but I can flush it better. Leaves went to lime green rather then yellow but the overall taste & potency is all there.
