Well, I think I've ruined my harvest. Before I went away for the week, I set up a fan blowing indirectly in the dry room. When I got back a week later, all my buds were very dry and rather than smelling like good weed, smelt like pine. I've put them into curing jars, but I think they may be just...

I'd start flushing now or soon, generally speaking when 50-80% of the pistles have turned brown/orange it's time to harvest (depending on what high you want) As mentioned though, you should go by the state of the trichs to determine you perfect time to harvest. Invest in a 30x jewellers loupe or...

I used (if i remember correctly) about 15ml of brewers yeast and 600g of sugar. pour into a 2 liter bottle with luke warm water, shake and watch it bubble. Have a pipe hanging over your plant from the bottle. should last a couple of weeks though not sure how much extra CO2 you get. See my setup...

thanks guys. Smoke report will be in 3 weeks after a little curing, maybe I'll cheat on the little buds though!

A few more pics

This is what she looked like when I finally untied her and let her out. All weighed down due to the buds. My girlfriend had to hold her up for the photo! haha a wonderful site

Yes, one plant - pure northern lights. Can't get any bigger harvest - this thing was almost outgrowing my cupboard and space is a premium in London. Besides, this will last me (and me alone) several months :) She will be drying for a week whilst I'm on holiday and then transfered to my curing...

Just harvested my northern lights, been growing since 1st April with Biobizz All Mix soil 1 x 200watt CFL (blue then red spectrum) + 1 x 100 watt HPS fed Biobizz veg then biobizz bloom flowering for around 11 weeks Trichs are all cloudy with about 10% amber Had to do some major LST and topped...

a good rule for lighting, If you can hold your hand on top of the plant without burning your hand - it's going to be ok for your plant too. The closer the better.

It's impossible to tell unless you look at the trichs. It also depends on the kind of high you want. Head high - harvest when most of the trichs are cloudy, body high - harvest when most of the trichs are amber. I prefer a 50/50 mix of amber/cloudy but it's entirely up to you guys.

^^ I agree, curing is only to break down the plant matter to make the smoke smoother with better flavour. The THC shouldn't increase. I may be wrong though.

the right amount of light - Metal Halide, CFL or Flo's at the appropriate wattage. What do you have?

you could maybe top your plant or LST it to make it fit the grow room better. I fitted a 200W CFL envirolite and the thing was hot man, ended up cutting a hole in the reflector and fitting a PC fan to suck the hot air away.

good job GingerBeer. My friend's growing these outside in England too (Northern Lights / skunk cross), didn't think they'd look this good!

you plants will love the extra light. You can use your red CFL whenever you decide to flower your plant ( put under 12 hours light / 12 dark) Your plant may double or more during flowering, remember that when it comes to size.

thanks, will have to see if I can find one in the UK

Hi, Just wondering if you guys use a microscope for checking out the trichs as I saw this on ebay and might buy it - :: Deluxe Microscope set 100x - 1200x ZOOM :: on eBay, also, Science Nature, Educational Toys, Toys Games (end time 26-Jul-08 15:57:28 BST)
