Interested to see how this turns out mate, I'm growing the same strain in soil right now just over 60 days old. Good luck too you and let the swelling commence! Btw I know what you mean about the smell, fruity goodness!

I love her smell its almost intoxicating. Especially if i start to shuffle her around and what not. I don't have a carbon filter or anything for smell and it can really keep a 20 by 15 room reeking all day every day which luckily for me isn't to much of an issue
If your interested in seeing the true potential of this strain check out Mainemedical's NLB auto grow
You'll shit.

she looks really tasty - but very surprised that she hasn't swolen up much - however she has bud everywhere so it may make up for it.

when are you planning on chop chop?

I plan on giving her pure ph'd water for about another 7- 10 days from today which she has already been topped off with just ph'd water for 2 gallons now and so ill continue that until hopefully around day 120

Hey man just checking back in - everything looks good, you shouldn't be disappointed at all..it's sometimes hard not to be when you see great examples of the strain (my example was Tang's beast of a NLB) but we have to remember these are "pro" growers with their set ups dialled in perfectly. As this is my first grow I haven't seen much swelling either but we will get there bro, at some point I'm sure I'll make the jump to hydro as well - everything is a learning curve and a life lesson..Enjoy your buds and please let me know how it smokes, the tension of waiting for mine is killing me - look forward to some harvest pics

Hydro may take a little more $ but i cant tell you how easy it is to prevent burn and nutrient deff. It really is a matter of flushing and or diluteing your res and it has saved me before. Soil if some
Thing goes wrong your pretty fucked. No instant changes there lol but yeah i hear what your saying they deffinatly are two pros dialed in and killing it. I would like to find a decent yeilding strain that i can torture for a few grows and really push a monster but i need to upgrade my light and tent siZe and really step my game up if inwant to play ball with the big boys on any level haha.not to menchine all the reading im about to do haha. Cheers man

Ps ill for sure be posting a legit smoke report in about a month after about three weeks cure

What size tent/light you thinking next? If you've got the money Grownorthern wont see you wrong as far as LED's go. And as for big yielders I'd say most things from Dutch Passion, specifically Think Different or Auto Mazar - both proven to be hectic yielders. Theres so much info on this site it's all you need bro :thumbs:
It may be too soon but I'm considering one DWC bucket under my ms0006 light once my first soil grow is done with, the prospect of being able to achieve what we see from our forum pros is an exciting prospect and one I hope we can both fulfil. Check out my thread if you wana compare NLB's, just gonna update with some pics now - can't wait to taste her

DAY 115 to chop or not to chop:smokebuds:

Heres the deal. shes flushed. Its been 115 days of patience and now since she hasn't gotten that last "umf" so now i gave her one last 1/2 strength dose of nutes (BC Boost, BC Bloom, SugarDaddy, & Awesome Blossoms) before final flush and chop, just to see if i can any last bit of swell out of her, she has had 2 full res sucked down of pure ph'd water and has got to be hungry. so i assume( correct me if im wrong) that she will gladly suck up any bit of nutes i would put in. Any word on this?? Also, would it be okay or beneficial in any way to selectively remove the lower most branches and do some selective de-foliation and or possibly pre trimming ? Or would that just give her a shit load of stress? Its in the final 14 days i hope ( 7 days of half strength and seven of flush with the last two days going in complete darkness maybe even 3 days)
to say, but without a macro lens or optic of some sort i cant check the trics @ the moment to be 100% sure.
To chop or not to chop.
Any insight?

Ps i know shes looking beat up and thats because well, she is haha i apologize but my next grow ill be stepping it up in every form, lights, tent, nutes, and grow techniques so bare with me on this first hydro run

DAY 121 PARTIAL CHOP

Well i decided to take the lower most branches of her after takeong some popcorn nugs on day 110, 115, and now i went wirh the 4 most bottom branches and well, here it is , ill only post wet weight if asked as its pretty pointless if you ask me lol
Note: the 6 heaviest and largest colas are still on yhe main stalk and going stron for another week or so,going to keep them on darkness for 48 hours before i chop the rest. Heres some pics everyone, 120 days into this and i cant say im a pro on any level but im damn happy with how this is starting to turn out
Let me know what everyone thinks i appriciate it. Happy summer time !!!!!:tiphat:

DAY 127 aka CHOP DAY

so after its all said and done i finally grew a set and took her down. I gave her nothing but phd water for a week now after an already extensive flush,i had taken sampled from 110, 115, 120 & now finaly at day 127.
My yeild to date was 14.6 grams dried, so that being said im pushing an ounce and 1/4 give or take. Ill tell you right now for my forst hydro
IM STOKED!!!!!Hop digity

 

[Nam80232]

Looks like more than 14g's!

 

[RebelRoy]

must have been 146 stylez rasta smoke congrats on your harvest. very nice High 5

 

[Smokechoke]

Sorry for the confussion everyone from my sample cuts of 110 to 120 it totaled 14.6 dried grams of sample cuts ( the 4 lower most tiny shitbag popcorny light and fluffy branches) it was bud sights that lacked light intensity so they were super airy, still tho a half off of that, im cook with that but thanks for the kind words :group:
