Hi.
Quick question. I have 2 plants and my first grow which I am doing for a bit of fun and also cause I find the stuff you buy (Hydro) far to potent for a casual smoker like myself..One is Northern light. The other is unknown. Would anyone have any idea by photo what it maybe?
The Northen light also has started to bud. Im in Australia. I think it's about 3 weeks in. Will the buds get a lot bigger and how often should I feed now.

First photo is the unknown species.

Welcome to RIU!!
Nice looking plants. I’ve got some NL in my tent right now. Great strain and the buds are huge when done. One thing for sure you need to understand is that the buds put on most of their mass in the last few weeks of flower. There’s many ways to feed them while in flower. I topdress with Gaia Green 2-8-4. As well as giving the girls an aact of composted manure, alfalfa meal and dried comfrey with bsm to feed the microbes. Would need to know what’s in your soil to determine what, and how much to feed.
I don’t believe you can tell what your plant is by the picture. I’m sure there’s more experienced members that might have an idea.
Best thing you can do for high quality bud is to start a worm bin and use the castings in your grows!!

I made a mix for the soil. Pierlite with potting mix with cocoa peat.
I have topped twice with worm castings during the grow and mainly fed with a liquid fertisliser that tomatoes love and high in nitrogen called powerfeed. But switched to a flower fertisliser designed for buds about a week ago which is also liquid. And feeding 1-2 times a week. Still adding a small amount of the Powerfeed. But not anywhere near as much.
Figured this will see them thru? I could give some more worm castings.

Thanks.
I'll post some photos when done. The plants stayed small which I liked. I assume from all the LST I did? Unless pots to small.
Looking forward to see how much I will get from this. Its all just some fun for me as I am a small personal user. But it has been a lot of fun just growing and training them.
