600w nirvana nl grow

[st3w1]

Hello fellow stoners. First post and second grow. hopefully im posting this in the right section as this is the first time i have used a forum lol. My first grow was bagseed and grown under a 200w cfl, I had a pretty pitiful yeild (9g lol) and so decided to up the ante and went out and got some supplies and some northern lights seeds from nirvanashop.com

ok so heres my set-up.

600w dual spec
5 northern lights feminized seeds
biobizz light soil mix
biobizz bloom and
biobizz bloom additive


so here they are... just 3 just now. say hello to bob, ang, and stewie. this is their 12th day alive.

I germed the other 2 and only 1 survived unfortunatly. put it in soil today and will be putting up pics for every week. any idea of names for my 4th baby will be appreciated and i will pick the best 1.

any feedback will be cool and just for the record i am using the dual spec all the way through because im pretty sure u can.

 

[st3w1]

oh btw. any 1 have experience with a dual spec light??? my light is 3.5foot away from my plants. is this too far away?

 

[st3w1]

ok guys. update number 2. moved the plants 2 foot closer to the lights as they were too far away and it seems like the are enjoying it (i can see smiles on their faces... literally) apart from the new seedling who was all like put me back on the floor!!! Im going to put them into flower at the end of the month and see what happens. also i will be repotting them in a few days. here we go let me know what u guys think (dont be shy)


so there u go. if u look closly at pic 4 u can see my little seedling at the bottom corner day 3 i think

 

[spencer2121]

​Did u already flower??

 

[st3w1]

no not yet man but i will be at the end of the month. just transplanted the plants into bigger pots and will post up some pics tonight when the lights go on.(they are quite a bit bigger) the nirvana website says it is a 7 to 9 week flowering plant but ill take that with a pinch of salt and just go by trichomes

 

[spencer2121]

Yea I love nirvana! But just go by tricombs myself as far as finishing flowing up is concerned, I was asking if u were still vegging because u should be! If u can I'd flower one(keep the others in veg) and then add a plant every 2 weeks so when You harvest the 1 in 8 weeks, 2 weeks later you'll harvest more and etc just a suggestion if u have the space to veg and flower at the same time

ah i c. good idea, might do it next time but i only have the 1 space and 1 light so unable to do that. looking to get a small tent for my next grow and will be looking to do a set up like that. ill post up some new pics up in a few mins.

 

[st3w1]

ok guys here it is. just 2 pics of each plant. they have been repotted but not too sure how many gallons the new pots are, they are pretty big though. what u guys think about the stem in pic 3??? hopefully this isnt going to be a proplem when the plant gets bigger, it just seemed to grow like that. ill post some new pics in a weeks time just before they go into flower and then every few days when in flower. Im also not giving them any nutes just yet but will be giving them biobizz bloom and topmax(apparently it works well with biobizz bloom as an additive) and also a little mollasses. any comments or suggestions welcome, thanks.

Nice looking man. Started my NL femenized seeds the same time as you and mine aren't nearly as big. Mine look healthy but not as big. Growing in a tent with 600 MH and will switch to 600 HPS during flower. I can't seem to keep my temps down enough at 100% light and that is why I keep it at 50-75%. Keep updating. I will check in to see the progress since your grow is very similar to mine.

 

[st3w1]

good stuff man, im sure ure plants will catch up. im subscribed to your grow. ill be updating every week or more.

 

[st3w1]

hey guys just had an idea... im going to wait a few more days and then take a few cuttings off my plants then wait for the clones to show roots, then im going to put them all in flower at the same time just for an extra bit of a yeild. not too sure about putting the clones straight into flower but what the hell i like to experiment and im sure it will give me a couple more grams for sure. let me know what y'all think.

 

[spencer2121]

As far as that bending stalk is concerned I wouldnt really cross that bridge untill I get there, however I would try to get a fan on that plant to help strengthen it as it grows. And I yes if u take clones, while ur waiting for them to root, the "mother" will get bigger and u will increase your yield most likely that way...

 

[datpifed]

im subed in for this ... but one concern is they look a little small how old are they ?

nice 1 buddy thats what i was thinking, i imagine it will be a bit of a problem during flower but nothing string and tape cant fix lol. anyway thats the clones taken and ill be posting pics up in next few days so be sure to check out the new additions to the team

hey glad ure subbed for my grow, good to have you on board. yea they might be a little small but its cool, I dont add any nutes or anything, just plain water. the nutes and stuff will all be added during flower which will be at the end of the month hopefully. I have 3 main plants that i started on the 1st, 1 seedling that was added about the 7th or 8th and 3 clones taken today but im only keeping the 2 strongest looking ones (might plant the other 1 outside somewhere).

 

[smurfyboy]

keep going mate, do you have a fan or extraction??? looking good

 

[st3w1]

yea just got a little fan blowing air into the cupboard. just a standard desk fan that rotates. dont really have the money for anything else just now. the heat isnt really an issue anyway. which is surprising as im using a 600w, temps constantly around 20 - 25.

 

[st3w1]

ok guys this is now day 29 so about time for an update. plants are looking cool but some yellowing on the lower leaves. starting flower tomorrow so hopefully have some nice buds in about 9 weeks time.

just took 3 pics of each plant then a group shot at the end

the little plant at the back is day 14 i think, dont know how its going to do in flower from that 1 but if i get a couple buds ill be fine. let me know what u think guys, thanks.

 

[smurfyboy]

so looks like we are doing exactly the same thing, only mine are 6 weeks. i am switching to flower today. even though they are from the same company mine seem to have much bigger leaves, they are about 7-8 inch long (biggest fan leaves).

ps are you in uk??
