Rubbermaid Stealth Grow: Northern Lights x Blueberry

I have an ONA block coming tomorrow, so I should be fine until then. Thank you for the advice though.

Did you order it online? I ordered one online and it came with some free flower nutes which in my opinion look really decent! And aren't exactly designed for growing tomatoes.

You might find that expensive, I don't know. It's a UK based company so shipping to america might make it expensive, just felt I should let you know as I was really pleased when it came through |
Ill throw up the nute info + pics in the mornin if you want me to? May not be intersted though aha

I bought it through amazon unfortunately, so i don't think I'll get any extras. Also, to control the odor I was able to find some "smelly jelly" in my house and I just put it down by my grow box and it has reduced the scent 75% or so which I am very please with.

Thanks for the info RRain, by the way how was the ONA block once you put it in the room/box? huge difference?

Progress
Day 21

this marks the start of week 3 for Betty she has been worse off then usually, her leaves are a bit disfigured.
Also, I have started a new plant of the same strain, she/he will be named Claire(Not pictured yet).



that's all for now.

Haven't used it yet, my grow box should be here in a day or two. It just got stopped at customs with a import charge but no problems, I've ordered some papaya from nivrana to stick in right away 12/12 from seed so I will see then. My ONA block was really smelly! (good smell) when i opened the whole lid, as advised by somebody else on this forums I will probabbly drill a few holes in the lid instead of leaving it open, this makes it lasts longer and also if it smells too much of ONA, for some people this could also reduce stealth.

Good luck with your papaya grow, I've put my ONA block in my grow box and it is working pretty well. I don't have much surface area exposed so it doesn't complete kill the scent, but it is enough to hide the box well.

Cheers. Good to hear about your odor issues resolved. Can't wait to see how yours turns out!

Progress
Day 23:

I raised the lights on day 21 so Betty would stretch, and it looks like it is working:



Claire has still not sprouted, but I predict that She/he'll be up in about 2-3 days

looking good.

in a day or so, i'll be @ week 3 (day 21) of my rubbermaid stealth.

ours are looking about similar size, although I fimmed them at the start of week 2.

I have 3 Thai x Afghani going.

My thread is in the mix here, chances are you've seen it.

I have indeed seen your grow and it appears to be going very well. Good luck with your herb garden, and thanks for the data.

why do the bigger leaves look stiffled and wierd? i got that on a cfl grow to. is it from lack of fresh air?

I'm not sure what was up with the leaves, but it varies each day I check on her.

Progress:
Day 25

Here is Betty, she is starting to get close to flowering (what I mean is that I will put her into flowering soon):



If I put her into flowering at day 27 or 30, is that too early?

I think Claire is dead, but I don't care all that much. I am going to give her 2 more days and If I don't get anything I will germ my CH9 Jack33 feminized.

Following along with great interest......looks like some of the Blueberry grow/leaf issues are evident. This is very normal. I think that's a good sign- it says a real Blueberry was used in the mix. And no, I regularly go to 26-30 days when I cut the light back. It won't have any effect in the long run

Thank you for the input SSHZ. Just to clarify, I can put it into 12/12 in a day or two and get a nice little harvest?

Absolutely. The key is the stretch after going 12/12. Some plants stretch a lot, others not much. I'm guessing these plants won't even double in size and you'll end up with about 1.25-1.5 oz from a plant. Bigger plants will generally produce more pot. It's all genetically determined- that's why one might look for a grow report before purchasing the beans so u know what's up. The last N.L. I grew was in 1989 , a N.L. 5 X N.L 2 from Sensi. Yielded like shit but was killer pot. It actually was so strong people used to think I dosed the pot with something...... some couldn't handle it and either puked or passed out after a short session of smoking.

Progress:
Day 27 - Day 1 Flowering


I ran out of time to take pictures because Betty has just started her flowering light cycle, and I can not disturb her atm.

Claire is officially dead, and I have decided against planting my CH9 Jack33. Instead I will wait to plant her another time.

I will have pictures tomorrow of her progress, so don't fret.

I found what I think may be the best N.L. out there.....Mr Nice (Nevil/Shantibabba) has the strain Ortega, which is N.L. #1 X N.L. #5. They claim it's from seed stock left over from the 1980's. I've grown both of these originals back in the late 80's and early 90's and both were way better than anything I've had in a long time. Nevils (The Seed Bank) N.L. 5 X 2 was easily the strongest smoke I've ever grown or tried for that matter, bar none. It was so strong people used to think I was spiking it with another drug- LOL. Nevil chose the N.L. #1 and Shanti picked the N.L. #5 to create the hybrid and the grow reports I've seen are excellent- extremely strong, sleepy time smoke done in 9-10 weeks, although the strain description claims 6-7 weeks. Xmas tree appearance and ease of growth are the other comments that are repeated thru people's grows. I bought the last few packs available at Attitude last night but check back in April for my grow report on them..........

Here are the pictures I promised (Day 28 - Day 2 Flowering)



@SSHZ: I'll be sure to check that out, and thank you again for that data. I sure hope this NL will turn out similar to yours, and NL #5 is in this seed mix (NL #5 x Blueberry).


EDIT: The brown spot on the leave in the top view is due to contact with my light, i.e. it was burned.

Subbed in....
