I`m growing Northern Lights for the first time. I kept the seeds in between a few wet paper towels in a zip-lock bag. After germination I planted them in pots (a few I did earlier this year & just got around to planting the rest of them). Out of the 10 seeds 7 sprouted. I have the seedlings and one of the plants I`d grown earlier inside a bedroom closet. They`re on an always-on lighting schedule. For lighting there is a 35W UV light and a fluorescent bulb about the same size. I have an old PC fan set up for air circulation, although there is no ventilation from the outside.
Here is a picture of the "Vegetative" closet:
Since I am growing this discretely in my room, I made a separate box-setup for flowering one plant.
The setup consists of 3 boxes. One houses the actual plant. It has Aluminium foil on the inside and some regular LED lights as well as a fan for air circulation and a large hole on the top.
Over the hole is another box with a hole on the bottom. This houses the lighting. I have a 35W UV light and 2x Fluorescent bulbs.
The third box contains all the wiring & balasts for the Fluorescent bulbs as well as a small directional ventilator that helps circulate the air. The box itself serves as extra space for air to circulate in (the air-exchange system does not connect to the outside of the 3 boxes)
This is how the boxes look in my room (very discrete, since I usually have a lot of boxes in my room:
I use a 12/12 lighting schedule. I have a programmable timer switch supplying power from 4AM to 4PM.
Here is the plant a few weeks ago:
I am starting to notice some buds forming on the plant.
I will post more pictures as the buds get bigger. I will probably need some advice when harvesting.
Since I don`t smoke, do I need to harvest the buds, cure them & dry them (and then heat them in sunflower oil) or is there a better way to get the buds in my brownies?
