Heyas lads, two oldest plants 81 in since popping, must be nearing the chop chop? Expert seeds list NL autos as 60 to 70 days from seed. I understand it aint exact so have been checking with a 30 power jewellers loupe, shag all use to my eyes so bought

Lots seem milky but only very few amber (and only on main cola) and i think they might have turned amber from handling as the heads of these amber trichs are kinda squished. This a thing?
Will post pics later and maybe ye can advise plz:)

So to the cure.... me plan is https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Indoor-Portable-Grow-Tent-Green-Room-Silver-Mylar-Lined-Hydroponics-Carbon/261683310925?hash=item3ced8a714d:m:myJoMiZQzxwXw_XrPQDShoQ
Yet another tent, jesus lol. A tidy 40 x 40 by 140.
If i was to lace some wire inside to hang the branches and put this inside...

to keep the rh under 50% and a small fan not blowing directly on the greenery am i aok?
It will have a carbon filter and exhaust fan. Small passive intake a bad idea or will i need an intake fan too?

Next plant about 70 days. Suffered at my noob hands and was flushed in early flower. Came back strong when fed fully but still bears scars.

Close up...

My biggie, again 81 days from rotal seeds NL auto. Strong one.
DSCN4173~2.JPGBelow is the star of the show, dinafem critical +2.0 auto. This was the clusterfcuk i buried the biotabs in. Near died (didnt feed as, biotabs...) but lept back into life when additionally fed. Its the fastest by a mile, open and thickening up daily. Crazy genetics and a riot to watch grow!

Close up..

In the veggie tent all bar two doin well enough. The older ones are cookie monster autos from gardens of green and seedlings are dutch seed white widow cbd.
DSCN4180.JPG
One in the midde up top only started thriving once fed some plagron enzyme and power roots. Seedling in the middle stunted badly as was transferred from smaller pot i reckon.

Still looking good. for a head high i would chop some now.
For your project another week about. Unless your humidity is high(pun intended)
I guarantee they are watching and don't care about cancer patience or if you are keeping people of the demon opiodes. Legal and readily available, bars and alcohol is legal?

No argument from me, it should be legal, at the very least medicinally. Alcoholism is still an acceptable lifestyle choice here nevermind the destruction hard and prescription drugs cause:(

Buds, i remember you mentioned organic pre harvest flush was yet another canna myth but now that I've just switched to terra bloom (no longer organic) should i flush?
Do you literally just feed as normal right up to chop?
Ps any tips for a first timers attempts at dry and cure?

Thats mad, kinda frankensteiney lol. What kimda growth can you expect and how difficult is it to do? Im guessing you can only use photo periods yeah?

Yea the regrowth is freaky as hell! Thats supposed to be normal tho. Its my first go but from what ive read (and am starting to see), the old bud sits start to put out lots of side brances. So it should end up wide and bushy, perfect for my scrog ;)
Yea only on photos, I started out with autos and had a branch snap so I said 'fuck it' and potted it up. Rooted fine and the flowers grew, but absolutely zero stretch. Think it weighed 2.5g in the end lmfao

Stop feeding one week before chop.
Lots of info on here about drying curing Get some small hygrometers on Ebay, very handy to pt into a jar.

Cheers yet again for the advice Buds
Bought a crap load of these vivarium rh and temp sensors offa ebay...
20181015_182301.jpg
They are all in a couple % of each other after settling. Smaller than a matchbox so handy for doing as you suggest.
Must buy some of those ikea mason jars for the buds too.
90's Stoner, how big will those crations grow?

Yea there the ones, buy them with the battery's included as some sell them without.
Any one have any advice on how to dispose of the used carbon filters.
Suggestions for a DIY recycle project.

Buds i know when mine is goosed I'll be cutting the end off scattering the carbon and breaking up the body of the filter before binning it. Maybe I'm being paranoid but the sight of a half meter long scrubber in the green bin is sus maybe?
For re use?
https://homedistiller.org/distill/polish/reuse
Not sure I'd trust it after that, I'd want a new one on hand incase it doesn't work.

About the smell.... my northern lights dont really smell. By that i mean if you were to open up a baggie of whatever it positively honks, but what I'm growing not so much.
When i open the tent you sure can smell it but not like stuff you'd buy.
Does the process of drying n curing increase the smell somehow and if so how!?

From reading grow diaries i believe NL is not a real honker but just worried I've grown a lot of low potency buds?
Ps: if you touch the buds your fingers are left tacky and well stinky, but as i say just not the same bang off the plants as what a bag of bought stuff might do.

Yeah those sensors are the grandest and cheap. I got lucky re the batteries, just assumed they came with. They're all within spec i have to say. I have a proper hygrometer and they're reading the same. I'll pop some into the drying rig and jars.

The youngins' in the nursery are moving along. Big one on the rhs is showing early signs defic of somethin...im thinking either cal mag or more likely N I'm guessing.
I will not allow this lot go the same way as the current crop, which all had this issue early on. Think ill give it some enzyme and grow next feed. Maybe .5 calmag too. What say ye?

NL is one of them strains you grow to hide smell. its a low odour strain when growing ut but once cured it has a nice stink to it.

Mine are metal and the size of a wheelie bin.
I refiled them but it is very messy and never as good as the factory packing.

So quick question, I topped my TD last week and potted her up yesterday. Im wondering if I took off these 2 fan leaves
IMG_20181019_192047.jpg
To expose more light to these side shoots
IMG_20181019_192153.jpg

Will the side shoots grow faster? (They'll be my clones)
