Nirvana Northern Lights Autoflower Grow

[WeedTokerUK]

Hey guys, I'm starting a grow diary on here for my Nirvana NL, I'll be posting regular updates/pics of the grow untill harvest. I've only got a Dual-Spec 125wCFL as I'm only doing the one plant, I plan on using bio-bloom nutrients for flower and I can only have the lights on 16/8. I've uploaded some pics below... thanks

i got one northern lights auto on a patio right now .... about the same age as yours, it got a little scorched first day out but is pulling through ok .... and i've grown a few auto's under them duel spectrum CFl's i used 1 lamp per plant and i was well impressed with them

You guys are going to love this plant. I was going to do a journal. I was hearing mixed views on Nirvana, but I tried em' anyway and my first grow yielded a little over a half ounce, I was trying to ge a feel for auto grows but that half ounce was potent. The second plant is now in day 55 and it ballooned on me and got too big for my cfl area, thankfully it got to about 4 foot right in time to put it in the window.

I can only fit the main cola in the frame of my camera. Just the main cola is over 12 inches an will probably have a half ounce just on that. This is a good yeilder, just finished my 3rd flowering/molasses cycles, will be just molasses soon then flush, good luck you will enjoy!

sweet! ... i only got 3 out of 10 seeds to germ (i use the paper towel method)... never had problems with seeds before 11 out of 11 auto seeds sprouted no problems, then i started these shitty Nirvana NL-auto's... but like you say when you get them going they are a nice plant

Yeah, they seem to take about 3 weeks to get it's first set of true leaves, but if you start it in a small pot then transplant to a 3 gal. it will shoot up. It was aggrevating how long it took to get going, but I stayed patient, cause once they get to 4th node, it's go time.

good to know ... as i say i've grown a few auto's and i love them... just thought i'd have a go outside... can't hurt itsa free light hehehe

was gutted by the germ rate i got, but i know the three good ones will be knockout when matured

I usually grow outdoors too cause of the yield. This is my first go at auto's/indoors I'm 2 for 2 thus far . On germinating, I have ordered from S0S, Attitude, and Nirvana, and all orders have had seeds that didn't germ, germed weak, or not at all. It's hard to say 100% a seed will germinate so I dont get too mad at the breeder.

I had like 6 out of the 10 from Nirvana germinate, the first batch, the sprouts got ate by worms and tiny snails cause I was dumb and used outdoor soil that had too many living things in it lol.

My plant was under 6 26 watt cfl's circling around the plant for about 45 days, then it got too big for the area and I put it in the window and it's all good right now, if it wasn't so hot I would have put it outdoors, but I'm pretty sure it would shock it if I brought it from 80 degree to 104, plus the humidity and bugs.

Day 5 now since it sprouted last Sunday.. just starting another set of leaves i think.. How's it look so far?

 

[JxAxG]

It looks good, like mine did actually. Give it abot 12-16 days and it will be a go. A tip I used with success is when it got it's first leaves, I set it in the window to get that full on UV sun, it jumped started the plant even more, it worked 2 times and the time I didn't do that, the plant did not grow as good, so im sticking with it, but so far so good.

its great ... the first 3-4 weeks are going to take forever.... and you'll be worrying its not going to do much... it is and it will... keep it as close to the lamp as you can (without burning it.. so a good couple of inches will do)... keep it watered and let it almost dry out before watering again... you will check your plant daily (my first grow i rarely left it 4 hours between checks ...no lie! hahaha) once its showing pistils (day 16-20) its going to start streching so move your lamp up as often as possible it will burn the bud sites it touches and its heartbreaking ... don't use much nute at all .... autos require really weak feeds on the whole so don't ruin it by trying to beef it up .... she'll be just fine... i promise

Now a week old. I made a reflector thing with some wood I had lying around and covered it with mylar It seems to be growing a bit faster.

every new leaf set will be like another turbo battery! ... it will be TONK real soon brother ... keep trying new things ... some will work and some wont... here are a few i have found work and work real good

during the first 3 weeks of veg (right now) hang a damp towel in the grow room/box ... i used 1 small hand towel it raised my humidity by 30% at least, and my girls loved it (never had healthyer and stronger plants)

put your water in a large container (make compost tea if you like) ... but simply running air from an aquirum airstone through my water made a massive difference to my grows, yeild went right up

wow, thanks for the useful info man im gonna try that out

The leaves work like this on the NL autos. It start with a false leaf, then 1 or 2 3 point leaves, then 2 of 5 point, then 2 of 7 point, then 2 of 5, 3, then it will buff out and you are done. Really cool!

Keep up the good monitoring and DO NOT cut any fan leaves. Thats your main energy source. Give it nutes 2 weeks after it flowers, then 3 cycles of molasses and nutes, the 1 cycle of mollasses, then a light mollasses, then flush it 2 times, sit it in a dark closet for 48 hours and you are done my friend, thats how the Nirvana NL grew for me 2 times on my first 2 grows.
