Hey all,
Sorry I've been super busy this past week.. The plants are doing well, I'm not sure if they're growing the at a slow pace or if its just me. Anyway The male I saved is producing pollen like crazy and I collect every morning. I plan on pollinating one of my 4 females next weekend! I'll post pics within the next few days.....

So I snapped some pictures of the females this morning. Its been some time since I posted any pics but there is not too much difference. They plants are still healthy, but I'm not sure if they should be this short! Maybe its the environment and the 12/12 grow or maybe they will get taller as they flower more? I guess only time will tell. I collected enough pollen from the strongest male so I trashed all of the dudes! I plan on pollenating this weekend but i'm thinking the plants are too small still. I don't want to miss my window for pollenation! Hopefully someone will be able to give me some good advice.
1 - They might not get alot bigger since you are using CFLs
2 - Try this out Seed Production. A Tutorial

They look nice..u usin any nutes? i dont think your gonna get huge yeilds but will be a nice smoke! check out nivarna's new northern lights autoflowers...they will take about the same amount of time but should yeild loads more!
sounds awsome. Once I get my grow going I'll be doing some seed harvests then get some good seed stocks up and mix to make the perfect plant th
at I want of 1 strain and do the same with the others and start breeding
I've read that auto flowering strains don't yeild as much as the non autoflowering strains. The huge down side of the autoflowering strains is that you can't clone them so you'll always have to start from seed again and in a way that cost more money in the short and long run then having the non auto flowering strain and cloning that and what not

id still give autoflowers a go. they will yeild more cos within 10 weeks they are getting 20 hours a light each day rather that 12. and the smoke is the same. jus a suggestion anyway buddie.

btw man, how u doin for odour? N.L is naturally pretty low scent but was wondering if the 12/12 from seed has somehow changed that...
cheers bud

Not much odor at all!!! I've read that NL has really low odor, but geez you literally have to put your nose up to the buds to smell them! But damn do they smell sweet!!!
That may be true but then your starting from seed again so you have to wait till thoes are done or you keep buying a bunch of seeds and after a while its costing you more in the short and long run then to buy non auto flowering seeds and just clone them

So I've taken shots with an actual camera instead of my phone, the quality of the pictures should be a tad better. So I've started feeding the girls molasses along with the schultz plus plant food. I can already tell the yield is going to be tiny, but I'm ok with that, I'm just livin' and learnin' I'm positive my next grow will be much better regarding yield. Anyway, I plan on pollenating one of the ladies next week to produce some seed if its not to late... Here are some pics taken this morning.

I have no clue! I'm going to see how they're doing in a month and I'll be able to get a good sense of when I'll chop'em... but from my mark of start of flowering they've been flowering for a little less than 4 weeks so I'm gonna give them at least another 5 weeks, but we'll see!
