Northern Widow (NL5/Hz x Black Widow)

So here we go again !!

Yesterday I have soaked the seeds, and today morning I have put em on for some paper towel method :)

The place is small, so I will have to finish with 4 plants only...

I wonder what awaits in Northern seeds ;)



Method would be simpler then ever...

I plan to plant the seeds directly in Plagron ligthtmix (around 1,5 l pots)
- will be adding Canna nutes (rhizotonic and grow) once needed

Then final 4x pots will be 11 l
- I will have to pick 4x strongest plants / unfortunately no other way around
- on final pots, the plagron light mix will be ammended
( coco+trichoderma / wormcastings / supermix / calcium kick / bat guano and some crushed neem )

Day 10

I have added humidifier and upped LED wattage to 60W , so it outputs around 400umols and clima is stabilising on rH 65% at 24°C

So far some leaf deformations telling me I should be slower with those nutes, and Iam really carefull now.

Picking up my favorites from now, because, only 4 plants will end in final bags „remember

At day 15 plants are looking better and better.
My obvious bit of damage is visible here and there... Iam not used to pregrow in light mix...

But I am already tracking each plants . . .
Picking favorites, cause there will be need of transplant very shortly....

Iam to prepare final soil mix shortly

It is my experience that light-mix soils don't need fertilizer the first 4-6 weeks, they should have enough nutrients in them.

Today is the Jing-Jang day. . .

I have made decision to make my finish pick from this nice pack...
It was „easy“ this time, as one plant was weird almost on every leaf posible (possibly nute overdose) and one plant grown too fast to height (possibly male)..

So 1 minute of silence for NW1 and NK2 as those living beings were to be culled this day.
If it wasnt for upcoming space issues they would still be around, maybe one day :/

Day 22 yesterday I have added some nutes as plants started to starve a bit...
They also gain some mass.... NW2 also in height department :)
So in few days, I will be getting them their bigger final pots.

Soil is prepared

I have tiped the plant tops this time and also cleaned the bottoms of few yellow looking leafs, So next weekend will be transplanting...


My soil mix recipe was made just a bit more powerfull then previous Afghani search grow one... Where it was great until last few weeks of flowering.
It should seem like small time for Living soil to proper prepare itself in its things, but I also believe, at the time roots grow thru, it will already be active, it was done last time in same manner.


So final recipe is
(Caution! still testing my recipes you know)
- 11l coco (from coco bricks soaked in 6,3 pH water)
- around 20l of Plagron Light mix * this is only adittion from last time - or better said, substitution for perlite
- 3l of Plagron Wormcastings
- 0,8l of Plagron Supermix
- 100g of Plagron Calcium kick
- 110g of Plagron Bat Guano
- 110g of Crushed Neem
- few gs of LivingSoils MycoBoost / Frass / Rockdust / Malted Barley Powder
edit: it needs proper mixing, need to be kept moist enought, and then few days off wait atleast, and before repoting this needs to be mixed again I believe
edit#2: it smells quite a bit :D
