New Grower New grow 3shelf - Northern Lights X Big Bud Auto

[pyewacket]

Ok, time to tap into my new seeds that I purchased from Original SSC (Northern Lights X Big Bud Auto (WOS).

I am going to be growing 4 of these. I will be utilizing my 3 shelves this grow as I plan to start another four plants in roughly 5weeks. This will allow a 4plant harvest every 5weeks...or that is the plan anyway.

1st shelf- Germ box 10days-14days.

2nd shelf- CFL Veg fixture with two side lights (8X200watt, 6500k 23,000lumens) Veg shelf, 4-5weeks on this self.

3rd shelf- 400w superHPS- Bloom light 5weeks-until done.

I will start the seeds out in peat pellets nestled in seed starter soil inside of a red-solo cup. They will start out under my humidity dome. I will be using black gold organic soil, found here in the PACNW.

I will do a single transplant at age 14days into the final 3gallon fabric pot. And at that time they will be moved to the veg shelf.

Once I move them under the HPS (final shelf), I will wait about a week before I switch to bloom nutes. Wish me luck:dance2:!

Well, I had intentions of updating this regularly...been so damn busy. Anyway, I am at day 70 and looking to harvest at least one of these plants by the middle/end of next week. I haven't fed them for about 10days and they are really starting to enter the fall of their lives. In fact, they are starting to turn purplish in color.

These Autos are LARGE, they shot up in these fabric pots and have put on a good amount of bud weight over the last 2-3weeks. Here are a few photos...best I could do...my grow room is FULL and it was tough catching good photos. I have 4 Pakistan Ryders filling up my second shelf...all doing well.

Well, after scoping many trichomes on these plants it was obvious all of them were ready to harvest; cloudy with a dotted amber -- Just over 10weeks, sooner than I thought. Anyway, to end this short grow log...I will post some photos of the harvest. It took me hours to process these plants! NLXBB auto in fabric 3 gallon pots are a good combo so far...haven't smoked any yet. The only suckey part is I have a raging cold...I really enjoy harvesting....today I was exhausted!

The bud is ready to be processed for oil. It is bone dry, and I had to stuff the bud to fit inside of these pickle jars-- It feels brutish treating bud like this.

As dry as it is, I am still happy with the yield: Just over 7.75oz; I didn't weigh it wet or in any other stage of drying. I know I could bump the yield up considerably with some extra tending throughout the grow. I am going to SCROG my next grow of these plants. 3 plants instead of 4 and shoot for the same yield if not better. The 4 Pakistan Ryders are starting to pre-flower now...doing great.
