First Grow - Northern Lights with 400w

A few shots this morning before her bedtime (sorry about the poor photo quality, was half asleep)... as of today she stands 33" and doing great. Quite a few of her lower leaves have been yellowing a little, but I'm pretty sure thats natural as she's quite a ways into the flower cycle. I've just been trimming the leaves that look like they are not getting enough light.

Any ideas on the yield I'll have? I really have no idea, but I'm hoping for at least a few ounces. I'm thinking those top two colas will be pretty massive...
only time can tell...
 
Here's some flower-porn for ya, and some newer shots of the full plant. Holler!!

also lots of major fan leaves yellowing... I'm assuming this is natural at this stage of flowering... but I'm not sure.
 
somewhat, I like to use enough N that doesn't happen, but a lot of formulas are very low on N. It's a careful line because too much N will retard bud growth, obviously not something any of us want.
 
Makes me want to grow the seeds I just got! I'm new to the forums but been lerking a while, apologies! Love the site, so much information.

I'll start a journal with my Master Kush & Lemon Skunk soon, started germinating yesterday. NL to come once they finish.
Enough of the thread jack.

Plant looks amazing, can't wait to see the buds!
 
my first grow with a 400 and ten plants i got just under 10 ozs and there was lots of issues i had to battle through cold mold and drainage .was a bit weak but then again i don t know what strain it is either was a mystery bag of 10 seeds that came with a purchase. how many plants do you have in total the less plants in the room the more penitration you will have from the light and produce bigger buds. but the average for a newb is about that an o per plant but if you have one plant it will produce more than one o .

Thanks for checking out my plant... I also have three clones in my veg cabinet, a NL, Blue Dream, and Trainwreck. Been LST training them since the cabinet is fairly small. Welcome to the forums, and let me know when you start your grow journal.
 
macrael: its just one plant in there, under the 400 and its a fairly enclosed space. I'm still waiting for most of the buds to connect and bulk up. Does this happen in the last 3 weeks usually?
 
Thanks and I most certainly will. Waiting for the germination to get a little more developed then into the pots they go. I also just upgraded from CFL's to a 400W MH/HPS. Still will be using CFL and MH for Veg and HPS to flower.

My last Kush Plant, which was my first grow turned out to be a male, so it got executed quickly. Cleaned my closet and starting everything fresh. Just ready to get going. I'll keep you updated.

Here's a pic of the man before he got whacked, just a shitty cell picture.IMG950962.jpg

Also incase anyone was wondering, I used marijuan-seeds.nl and got my seeds in less than a week, also I'm in the states.

i think you need more fresh air and yes they should be filling in or bulking up around now something else you might wanna get the bulb a bit closer the next time if it was just one plant you could have gotten one massive cola with some one the side maybe next time around you should try like a hydro farm bucket type system i think thats where you will get the weight your looking foor your buds look lanky kinda case the dont get fed as musch as in hydro or other mediums like coco but if soil treated right will blow the doors off hydro its just od gets rined on so washes crystals away some of them anyways.heres some pics of my little nls.

Shit is outta control! most of the buds are getting really sticky and trichomes are everywhere! I have to admit, this is alot more than I was expecting... although it seems like I have some stretching issues, I think I'll be a happy camper.

I'm not exactly sure when chop time will be, but I guess I'll wait and see... I assume I'll have to do a flush fairly soon though.

Oh and lastly, I picked up some bamboo branches to hold up some of the lower branches that were starting to sag...

Holla back!

Here's some close ups... I posting in a "how long until harvest" thread and got the response of about two more weeks... but open to other opinions on this matter.

when the milky white hairs start getting golden brown its almost finished , kinda similar to the way a banana goes from greenish to yellowish also the hairs tend to go squiggly like a w,instead of being straight with a curve at the end.when they start turn darker brown time to go too long is no good thats why lots recomend to check them with the microscope 52x or what ever it is i messed up a ended up cutting earily because i used too much bug bud only suppsed to use it in the second and third week of flower

yeah strangely enough there was a free microscope in the hallway of my apartment complex a few months ago... i held onto it cause i knew it might come in handy further along the line. We took a few pics at around 100x and the trichs we saw were mostly clear. Some milky I think... kinda hard to tell. I will try to take some better pics tonight and post soon.
 
thanks machnak and tcurtiss... subscribe if you're down. I'll be posting more pics, plus I have a cab of clones (1 NL, 1 Blue Dream, and 1 Train Wreck) on the way, which I will probably flower when this mama is done.
