213 Watt LED Nirvana Northern Lights Grow
- Thread starter GP73LPC
- Start date
oh, i forgot, still have 1 clone that's getting long enough roots to be able to swim in the deep end 
just for the hell of it, i took 18 more clones (7 from plant2 genetics and 11 from plant1 genetics). don't know what my future grows hold just yet. would love to get some serious bubblegum in there and find a good strong male for spreading his seed
there is def' an S1 Nirvana NL project (coming soon), all colloidal silver making products purchased and ready to be started.
a regular Nirvana NL seed project (also coming soon)
of course once i introduce another grow like the BG, then i gotta make babies and S1's and my best BG ladies get to give it a go with left over NL spew. then i will have to take my best cloned NL ladies and let them do the wild thing with a nice BG male or two.
so much work, so little time

Wow, you left that girls almost naked
I am sure they will get bushier in less than one week.

had to help my clones see the light
they will recover like it never happened. i need to make choices soon and more branches will most likely go.
at least two plants on genetics tub 2 have grown into the led panels. no big deal as there is no bleaching. however, i am thinking of supercropping those tops to keep them in the direct light
i am going to have to trim these girls again wanted this to be SOG style anyway. maybe once i see more buddage i will be able to go more that way. this strain is definitely the wrong one for SOG. oh well, i will trim again soon so the clones keep on keepin on.
this ain't really the order i planned things, but...
just re-order priorities
1. start building up my homegrown NL smoking stock
2. create s1 seeds, while continuing growing NL stock. have the colloidal silver making products ready to go, i should make that already. but before getting that far ahead i still have to construct another small f**king chamber.
3. create f3 regular seeds (this is assuming nirvana seeds are f2, i think i read that some where)
4. might as well have some other strain ready for NL spludge too. when i perform this step i need to make NLx?? and ??xNL.
so far my new (NOT half assed) closet and baffle box are handling any and all smells fine.

ok, shit got out of hand. like i said long work hours and hard partying have caused me to not look in on the ladies for 8 days.
i flowered when they were small but tub 2 has major stretch type. all but two plants got to the lights and above.
so i got busy supercropping
defoliated. notice tub 1 on the left has two very small, controlled plants and 1 that has stretched. i either mixed up a clone or my light is not covering all of the that plant, causing the stretch.
tub 2 got out of hand, but the stretch should be over as we are now in day 43 of flowering.
buds like this everywhere
anyway, i have another festival this weekend and will be away again, lol !!!
ladies aren't too pretty now, but they will still produce. may need to trim up some of the under growth on tub 2.
clones in both tubs are just hanging on and stretching. may have to take some new ones to continue this strain.

i am a little concerned now. obviously my growing chamber needs tweaking. or at least my grow method.
i believe for my next grow i might go back to scrog. i have height limitations and i believe now my plants are really too close to the panels and the buds are very small for almost 7 weeks in 12/12.
i guess i will try more supercropping in an attempt to get the plants down a few more inches from the lights. they are about 4-6" below, but i believe they need more space for the full spectrum (and LED angles) of the panels to have a good average spread around the all the plants.
i believe because of the height issues, some plants are not getting the full spectrum of lighting
oh well, new grow area, new grow technique, new lights and new genetics was a bit much to bite off at once. will still get smokable weed from this grow...

Man those have got to be some seriously stressed plants.. THey have been heavily defoliated more then once in flower, clones taken and super cropped. Thats going to be a pretty big contributor to your yield and its going to hurt..
Just sayin from experience and my own personal opinion

i don't disagree polodown...
i changed up too many things with this grow after many years of not growing. yield will most definitely be hurt, but since i grow only for myself it's not a big deal.
i will need to tweak many things with this grow area, including finding a good SOG strain. these NL's being very bushy made it hard for me to try a single cola SOG grow, but now i see i should've tried that, cuz it got out of hand.
it's allright, live and learn. still should be some decent smoke...
i'll get some new photo's up sometime this week.

well yield is most definitely suffering and the buds just aren't swelling like normal. they are however maturing as the pics below show.
a couple little tester buds dried out in the dehydrator
a pic using my iphone 60x microscope
the tester bud was tasty. did it up in my new vape first and smoked later. not bad, need to smoke a bud first thing in the morning, but the high seemed pretty decent for such a bad looking bud

took about 4 grams tonight. well that's what it weighed after dehydrating for 30 mins.
the earlier testers were from Plant 2.
this pic is both, but i am smoking Plant 1 tonght... very nice. stronger smell than plant 2 while growing, shorter compact plants in this pheno and the potency is a bit stronger than plant 2.
buds are started to swell up a little and the potency is only gonna get stronger in the next couple weeks.
thing i will be harvesting by that time.

well we have harvested about 21 grams thus far. it's a very nice smoke, but would lke a little more amber in the trichs. letting it go a little further. in fact, i will get a microscope pic up later this evening.
here's a couple scoped pics of some dried bud
