this is the first time i have ran NL .. my current run is pineapple express, Norther Light, pure ak, power kush, california hash, moby dick .. thanks for the info man!!
i have always thought norther lights was sativa dom, i started a run and popped a FMS northern .. the leafs are FAT i mean like my indica's now i'm super curious on flower time. has anyone ran these before?
remember the on your CFL bulbs go by the actual wattage .. usually the 100w are only 23w actual ... try to find some 42w 6500k for veg and 2700k for flower .. they are around 10 bucks each .. keep them close a few inch's away and use alot of em .. as many as ya can honestly.
why not germ your seed the way nature designed them to be germed? plant em about a 1/2" deep and water once good and leave em be .. i have better luck that was than paper towel method, i don't like to disturb them once they start to do their thing.
i hadda g13 pineapple express that took like 3 weeks to even start to grow from sprout .. when i decided to get going it had 2 main stalks .. but 1 set of roots .. this pheno could be interesting LOL
i run miracle grow moisture control. its working great the growth is fast and its cheap. i was using FFOF and FFHF but the cheap stuff is doing as well or better. but i do run all Fox Farms nutes though. try to keep soil for your sprouts on the dry side, watch for leaf sag and then give em...
days/weeks flowering does not matter .. neither does the start time 12/12 or show .... what matters is that the buds are ripe and ready... gotta have that amber color !!
is your HID have a inline fan system to cool it? .. in that size room its gonna be a must have .. i use a 485cfm 6" inline going through my hood .. my temps run about 78 to 80 with lights on and like 70 with em off ... try to run a fan blowing right on the light at a upward angle if you're using...
i always thought ya was supposed to let it get N def. by harvest for a better tasting bud? mine started getting yellow about 8 days after the 2week flush ... they go into 3 days dark tuesday, i guess next round i'll keep em green till harvest time.
i picked up one of these for a veg/mother/clone cab .... has 2 compartments 2w x 2d x 4t and the top is 4w x2d x 2t .. works great so far .. i use a 11" intake fan and the same for exhaust, it has a 150hps and temps run about 78 to 80. just a thought...
ya want your carbon scubber/ intake in the bloom cab, in order to handle the odor it has to be in there. the order ya wanna run your gear is filter - fan - light - exhaust, you will have less velocity on the intake side of the fan so the scrubber can do a better job of odor control.
edit: what...
i have a 150hps in a 2x2x4 veg. cab .... i use 2 11" box fans for intake and exhaust, my temps stay around 80 to 84 depending on ambient temps. the intake is at floor level and the exhaust is light level ..
