hi mate! :)

you've answered your questions by asking them in the first place :biggrin:

shure you are gonna run out of space, and yes they will grow verticaly with a slight scoliosis :D

Too many IMO, I would do 4 in that size of space.


You will want to flip them fairly soon so they do not fill out too much. You can lollipop them if they get to thick.
 
Thanks for the replies, honestly today or tomorrow may be there last day of veg and then I'm gonna give them 24 hrs dark and pop in my HPS. It's NL bagseed so the reason I'm growing at maximum capacity is for the chance I may have a couple males in the bunch and figured I'd clear up some space for flower time. My last run with bagseed though after this I'm buying fem seeds to kinda eliminate the guesswork. Tune in for more in a couple days, Thanks again guys
 
1st day of 12/12 600w HPS bulb Fired up and we're off people. Gonna be keeping a close eye for them flower sites and eliminate any Males in the way. Any good sexing tips? Should I begin my bloom Nutes? tomorrow will be the 1st feeding under 12/12

Well I confirmed that one of them(my biggest) is a female, or at least I saw a tiny white thread where I'm supposed to look so that's exciting, definitely got my eye on her, over the course of the next few days I'm putting the hairy eyeball on all of em lol

cool good luck then.. hope the ratio will be more on the female side..a week after the flip you can start to really notice gender
 
Personal friend of mine gave these to me, This NL is more on the indica side I'm noticing likes to stay real bushy the biggens had about a good 6 week veg
 
Wow another NL thread ...this strain is making a come back.

Yeah this would be my 1st for NL, I'm noticing it's alot easier to grow than my blue cheese/banana kush, I didn't have to feed at all in veg just added more soil when I potted up once every 3 weeks.
I gave em a 1/4 dose of CNS17 bloom 2-2-3 last night for they're 1st "actual" feeding and they're Perkin up nice rn

Keep on the veg nutes for at least another week, grown quite a few different NL' S, you will like them

Heard that, yeah Im experimenting with different nute brands this time(I usually use the fox farms trio, nothing bad to say but I'm trying to expand my experience) rn I have only the VEG STAGE:FF Grow BIG that I barely used in Veg due to pot up time frames, actually used it more going into flower but WTH.

BLOOM:
CnS17 Bloom 2-2-3 (1st half)(has called n mag in it)
AN Jungle Juice Bloom 0-5-4(for 2nd half)
/Bud Candy 0-0-1(gonna use from now until wk 6)
And I most definitely have a jar if some Beastie Blooms on deck. 0-50-30 for around wk5,6)

Hope I got the right idea *Hits Joint*
 
Ok so just a quick shot today, that canopy is looking lovely don't have say, I got my pH kit just came in the mail along with my bud Candy and jungle juice bloom today. Since I flipped the switch on Monday, should I still be giving some kind of veg Nutes(Grow Big 6-4-4) still to keep the lush green or would switching to my CNS-17 Bloom (2-2-3) be a better option?
