Hey man, haven't been here for a while. I feel for you mate, I had abnormally slow growth problems as well on this one. After 5 weeks my girl looked as if she was two weeks old. Bloody shame I'll tell you that, I tried to adress EVERYTHING. From the pH of the soil, nutes, lighting, humidity etc. Everything was close to perfect, but I fucked up with the feeding. I didn't give her any nutes for a month, but when I did she started to recover a little bit, but then returned to sluggish growth. I just believe I got unlucky and got a dodgy seed. it could be your problem as well, I never thought genetics could be THAT important.

Anyway, fingers crossed for your girl!

I have done exactly the same mate, I don't blame the genetics or anything its me whos dropped the bollock unfortunately,as much as I hate to admit it!
I've been snowed under with work of late working all over Britain, so when I have been at home I haven't taken as much care as I should have and made daft mistakes like feeding plain water for a few week! Don't know what I was thinking!
Anywho, hopefully I'm out of the shit now, and its all good from now!
How are yours doing now? And, thank you!

I just googled the definition of impatience but my internet is slow and I gave up because I was sick of waiting :-P
They are looking great, how old are they? And what set-up have you got? I will also be doing SCROG this time round, can't wait to to give it a go. I'm not expecting a massive yield from the Golden Lemons after the shitty start but fingers crossed for a quality smke.
I do believe @grapefruitmarmalade is also doing Northern Lights #5 x Haze aswell under the name of Brainstorm by Dutch Passion, be good to compare them!
Have you got a journal?

Ah I forgive you then for leavingus in the dark about that, slow internet connections are the bummer! :-P

As for my girls, actually it was only supposed to be one, but one seed looked so lonely lol
Good thing too, imagining I could have only sprouted the slow one, who incidentally is the second born, and accordingly named Dusk, whilst Dawn is trying to show her the way. Horrors! the slowness haha!
They're on day 5 of stretch after 45 of growth from sprouting. Topped twice, and gently defoliated to allow in light. They grew very bushy, made it a pain to try and LST them in prep for the scrog. Don't have a jourmnal here, but I'll be posting updates on this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/t/how-to-scrog-up-bushy-nl-5xhaze-girls.891365/

Recycled soil watered with --water! --, topdressed with neem meal (whenever a fungus gnat appears), their own leaves, and a handful of porous dead wood from a walk I went on the other day :D Basically, I'm working towards no till, and looking out at nature: stuff falls on the ground! Accordingly, it does that in my grow closet too ;)
The closet's 0.5 x 0.9 x 1.87m painted white inside with a totally oversized vent incl. carbon filter (which I have sworn to change as soon as viable) followed by 2m of tubing out and above the closet (discreetly packed in a wihite cardboard box).
They've been growing under 150W MH during veg, the last days I supplemented with 200W CFL as they were spreading. Flower is 150W HPS and 200W CFL. Why this mix? I did my 1st grow with just the HIDS and had the feeling it wasn't enough light for the space, but I wanted to keep the climate in there stable. It works, but I don't like the CFLs much, they're just so clumpy and heavy.

Yours being an indica, I'm guessing it will take a while to scrog her out - unless it is known that she stretches alot after the flip? I'm hoping for some good stretch for mine, they were so dam bushy there was no space for the side shoots to grow out. Oops I almost said the P word again haha :p

Yeah it would really be cool to compare notes on the nl5xhaze's @grapefruitmarmalade :)

And as for plants with stunted growth, it can't always be the conditions IMO, just look at mine, even growing in the same pot! I do think I will write Sensi Seeds and show them what came out of their seeds, curious to know their take on it.

Cheers! :bigjoint:

Blimey, you're a chatterbox aren't you! Haha :wink:
My favourite is Dusk, I reckon she's going to show Dawn a thing or two!
Our techniques are very similar, I topped her the other day, going to give her a week and top again. She hasn't much on her at the mo, but once she grows she's getting tied up and pinned down! I love lots of LST!!
My space now is 1.0 x 1.0 x 2.0m so I'm going to make a metre square SCROG screen, if everything goes right she should be ready to flower in 2 weeks and will have filled the screen nicely.
The DWC will ensure she fills the space quickly, unbelievable growth. Its a 60/40 mix so I think I'm going to use a 400w this time round, to get nice solid buds. Last time I used 250w but the strain was really Indica dominant and the buds were rock solid.
What's the P word?! lol
I'm going to have a look and follow your thread! :-D:weed:

LMAO I was shocked myself - gives the phrase "don't get me started' a whole new meaning doesn't it :mrgreen:
Yeah lol go ahead and rally for Dusk, she needs the support, though I do speak kindly to her and all ;)

I really look forward to seeing how your scrog develops, especially as your plant is a tad bushy herself at the mo. I'm getting the feeling it may have been better to remove more undergrowth right from the start (getting the plants to focus more on growing upwards and lenghten those internodal distances?), ah there is so much to learn!
So it'll be great to watch how you go about!
Cheers! :-P

I had the exact same thing. For the first month I must of "forgot" about her, and didn't give her any nutes which she longed for. Damn, won't be doing that mistake as well.

But only after another month of caring and setting everything right, did I realise something must be off. Maybe it was that stress I caused during the first month, or maybe it really is genetics. Hard to say, but next time I'll spend some more dosh on the seeds. Won't be stingy-ish next time. :D

I switched her to flowering not long ago, and she is stretching somewhat, so I'm happy that something is going on. We'll see how she handles her buds.

I too hope yours is going to take off now. :D

Wanted to do a bit of LST today and get some photos of the roots, I've been out and not used to my new light schedule so I've missed the chance cos shes having a kip now!
I have lights on now 21.30 while 15.30, making the most of the cold nights and the warmer temperature during the day for lights out.

Are you still growing in the same buckets Matty? And how different is it? Also what strains you doing mate, can't wait to see it underway! How long left on the Swiss Cheese?
Click to expand...
I'm going 100% coco mate as the grow shop man suggested. I pulled the small cheese last week as it was not well. The last cheese is going tonight or early next week at the latest. Here is the next gen in germ faze. Just put in ph water 2 mins ago with 1ml of root enhancer image.jpg

Like-bombs going off!
My Brainstorm (NL#5xHaze) has four shoots coming out of every node. Never seen that before but definitely a good mutation! The colour of the leaves is bright green to yellow... yet another thing that left me pleasantly astonished. Gonna post some pics tomorrow after lights on!
