The last look at Chunky aka Nirvana Northern Light before harvest. The cola fan leaves are all yellowed up. I've check the trichomes only a few times. My experience has been most of my grows into the 11th-12th week. I let the fan leaves yellow up and die; then the cola leaves yellow...it's time to chop. The trichomes will relate to the yellowing of the cola fan leaves. Yellowing up cola leaves will have cloudy trichomes with a few amber, no clear ones, 90-10 percent cloudy to amber. If I let it go another week and all the cola leaves die. The trichomes will be about 75-25 percent cloudy to amber. I'll have a couch lock high and I didn't want to go that far into harvest on this NL.
This was the EASIEST Northern Light I've ever grown. First she was a solo grow. Second she was in a three gallon SmartPot, not the two gallon SPs on other grows. Third the soil was Coco Loco by Fox Farms. Fourth the Technaflora's Recipe for Success' FEED-WATER-WATER schedule. Fifth was to do an early LST on the main cola, then small LST adjustments as she went along. Fifth and last is the most important....Dry/Wet cycle.
They are being hung up in a spare dark closet on coat hanger and garden wire. Normally I paper bag dry, but the colas on Chunky are too nice and fat. Pre-trimmed the colas as usual and left the cola buds whole. There is a five gallon humidifier set to 55% RH and a small fan mixing up the air. They'll take a week easy to be anywhere near dry.
I'll check the humidifier's water level daily to make sure the drying is slow and easy.
Maxed the SuperBox on this grow for plant yield. There is around 6 cubic feet of grow area in the SB. I've done two plants in two gallon SPs in the SB. I'd stay at one plant from now on. It's a lot easier and the personal yield on this NL was remarkable. It proves that you can get a good yield in a short space. Ideal for the personal use Cannabis user/grower. Grower will need some experience in LSTing.
Test vape with Iolite on the NL (Pop Corn bud, no main cola) is very good stone. Not too deep, but you know your stoned. Light body feel and nothing too heavy. Pleasant high. 7.5 out of 10 so far.
Thanks to all that have followed this Northern Light Grow. I had a great time doing this Micro Grow. I hope there was some info that may of been some help.
Just a plug....Remember to Vote on the October BOM/POM. As of today there is just nine entry's. There has to be more good grows here on AFN. VOTE FOR NIRVANA N.L. :tiphat:
