Hi, I am doing an experiment, to add no fertilizers through out the whole grow. If I start to see deficiency I will make a compost tea from my garden. I also have a Sensi Seed hash plant in aquafarm, Ghe 3 part, and that will give the most yield.

I got the seeds from a reliable friend, he said the seeds were from flying dutcman but I dont find any NL on their website, so either they dont have it anymore or my friend remembers wrong, either way it is dank!

living on a island in Scandinavia makes it hard to get some seeds, I can get a lot of hydroponic gear here but it is extremely expensive. But electricity is very cheap and it is pretty cold all year around so it is not so bad.

Back to the Nl, I started the seeds in October, 3 feminized seeds.

I wasn't going to make an diary so I didnt take any more photos during the vegetation. It was really slow first, like most plants and I grew the 3 seeds that germed under cfl for the first 4 weeks, then I put the girls in the flowering tent, 250w hps on 18/6 for 2 weeks. All 3 of them stayed short and compact, the 250w was very close to the plants and I placed them under a screen to train them.

Pheno 1# looked nice, grows nice but pheno #3 grew more and seemed to have the best genetics, Pheno #2 was faulty the whole time, yellow spots, small and weak. I found out I wanted to be able to move the pots for flushing or examine the plants so I cut the net of the Pheno #1 and #3, Pheno #2 is in the corner, I let her be since she is not doing any harm or taking any space from the others, and will mix it with hashish making material.

So pheno #3 is the one that grew most and the only one that has multiple colas since it was the only one tall enough for the screen, but it is still tiny


Pheno #3 @ 4 weeks

úps, im new here, forgot to rotate and now I can not edit:laughing:
Pheno #1 I didn't train as it didn't reach the screen before I decided to release it from the screen , but it looks nice, with one main cola and it has the biggest fan leaves, and it looks somewhat better and more healthy than pheno #3, but it could be just the training.

4.5 weeks flowering. The 3 NL plants are small and compact and they dont grow as fast as the hash plant I have in an aquafarm, but I believe it is mostly because of the extra oxygen on the roots, not the synthetic fertilizers. Pheno #1 has one bigger cola


and pheno 3# has many smaller colas and the buds are growing bigger but only slowly.

As you can see the whole plant is not big, but it is so compact and the canopy is still in screen shape

I think it will go for 9-10 weeks, at least the buds seem less ripe than the hash plant and I'm going to let the hash plant go for 8 weeks. So maybe up to 6 more weeks with the flushing for my babes, we will see.

Hi, I am doing an experiment, to add no fertilizers through out the whole grow. If I start to see deficiency I will make a compost tea from my garden.
I forgot to add what I started with, so I have a lot of compost in my garden, I put a lot of it, like 1/3 -1/2 part compost, the rest is a mix of coco coir and volcano rock from Hekla volcano only 3 hour drive from my home, it is very similar to perlite, but it gives calcium off so it kinda balances the calcium the coco coir seems to use up. I am going to make compost tea to see if it will boost growth, nothing fancy just brew it in a bucket with air pomp and pores on the rubber hose, I'll mix seaweed raw extract
(i can actually make from kelp from close by beach but Ill have to remove the sodium), that is food for fungi and add a very beneficial fungi, trichoderma harzianum, some molasses as a food for bacteria and a 1 year old compost. Just to boost things up a little, if I have bigger containers Ill probably never have to add any compost tea, only a little molasses maybe to the water.

But here is my last photo before I go to surgery, I am not sure I will be back before the 6 week but maybe my plantsitter can take some for me. Now I see the growth from week 4, this is a bud of Pheno #3 week 5 flowering
