Northern Widow (NL5/Hz x Black Widow)

[Proud Kraut]

So far im also good without CO2.
@Diesel840 yes air is actually the most ignored medium but is more important than water and food for survival. No air, no breath, no life for us.
Even in the colder time of the year i emphasize air exchange in my housing, especially when you sleep an exchange of gases will help regenerate your body and stamina. In (not only) Indian Yogi tradition the Prana (circulating breath) does control many aspects of ones body and mind and is therefore very important and can be cultivated. You made a great point there. Thats why already a few plants in the crib do good for us as little green Devas purifying the air and adding life to the concrecte boxes we call a home...
@musashi im also good with extra CO2 i like to keep it simple and gain momentum from the quality of soil, light and genetics rather than forcing anything. Therebare voices expressing that using CO2 even effects the quality of the finished product as too much CO2 (Nitrogen in gas form) accumulates excess chlorophyll giving you the hays instead of the haze...

chlorophyll giving you the hays instead of the haze...

love this.

Day 53

- all plants are starting to show signs of lower doses of nutes
- Iam thinking of preparing some kind of tea, to boost them overall, and possibly will add last layer of wormcastings and some bloom amendment
- Northern Kush 1 is the quickiest, I believeshe will be ready for chop somewhere next week
- I have started 11/13 hour light from now on


Northern Widow 2
- I think she will have the widow coverage of trichomes at this pace
- and do you see these hazy buds? I really love what fingers she is doing last week !!
- the leafs are unique aswell




Northern Widow 3
- she is not that far behind NW2 with trichome production
- those spears are amazing and pretty heavy !!
- tho, it seems I cant stop her from yellowing and dont want to overdoes her :/




Northern Kush 1
- Colourfull Kushy Kush
- fallish colours are here, she will not recieve any more nutes, she is doing A+ grade job for really fast time !!!
- smells are kushy-fruty and overall wonderfull




Northern Kush 3
- scents are like some fruity - fabric softener
- fluffy buds, with bit more leafs then NK1

 

[Ptree]

Northern Widow 2

- tropical fruit scents with some musky to spicy background, lemon too
- very nice late flowering development
- great loads of trichomes
- thin leafs
- pretty heavy loads of buds
- wild life / tropical / jungly structure

 

[Ptree]

Northern Widow 3

- some very pleasant and easy sweet floral to fruity scents
- fast speary flowers development
- great loads of trichomes
- pretty heavy branches off course

 

[Ptree]

Northern Kush 1

- fruity and pretty kushy smells
- quickest flowers
- phenomenal loads of trichomes
- great and very suportive structure
- is really close to finish, could be harvested immediatelly, yet I will let her go just a touch longer

 

[Ptree]

Northern Kush 3

- again fruity and kushy smells, here more fruity, less kushy (like I said earlier, wash machine softener)
- bulkier, yet fluffier buds
- trichomes poping everywhere
- bud structure seems to start foxtailing just a bit
- also very suportive structure

 

[Ptree]

So I have defoliated a plants a bit, the leafs were falling on touch, so I helped a bit.
Did watered by pHed organic tea,
for which I did airbublled some wormcasts, some frass, and added bit of rhizotonic and canna flower nutes...

Very enjoyable grow so far !!
Seems the yield would be massive for 2x2 tent (Iam thinking I could beat 120+ gs here) !!!

Fine looking buds @Ptree!
Looks like every pheno will be a good one, love your descriptions on how they smell.
You have your soil mix dialed in quite well.

NW#2 looks promising

 

[Ptree]

NW#2 looks promising

Yes !! Iam thinking of reveging her after harvest

edit: today Iam gonna try to make 2x clones of NK1 and NW2, and will give them home with 20hours of light... will cut of the buds from the clones and leave just a bit, so that new leafs could emerge... hope to see it going the right way !

Very impressive Unbelievable that you grow all this beautiful plants in a 2x2 tent

How much watts does your LED have?

Old viparspectra was 120W (xs1000) and now for 3weeks iam using 150W (viparspectra xs1500pro with lenses)

Iam amazed too

 

[Ptree]

I had to build litlle gilotine to hang light over humiddome ))




So I did made 2 cuts Northern Widow 2




and one cut Northern Kush 1



Cutings and sponges were soaked in rhizotonic water.
Cuts were then diped in mycorhiza and placed indside the sponges....

Hope it will work this way...I need to save Northern Widow 2 for next grow, as Iam realy interested by its grow and buddding...
That stuff smells like tropical island weed I believe

Nice Guillotine set up, always worth revegging the special ones imo. If you can consider going 24/7 with the lights in revegg, you really want to be sure you're not wasting the time.

All will happen in time

I have bought new mini tent (propagator) so one more day must be like this

Then I can go for full 24 on...

 

[Proud Kraut]

Good investment, i always go full 24h to reveg! Not even sure if it would work with less...

I know for cloning it works, even on 12:12, yet not everytime.
But I will surely try to make the most

Here some quick intermezzo !!!

I have just harvested Northern Kush 1 exactly so, at day 60

quick overview
- huge trichome coverage (all milky + few goldens as I like it)
- some pretty colours in the buds
- quickest Northern Kush from all NK I have tried - 6 so far (5 females)
- smells of some berryish fruit notes masked in master kush dank smells (berry fruits seems to be all over the Northern Kushes +-)
- some seeds in seedbud, made with WACO male pollen
- hopefully, the clone take roots and reveg for future works

Thank you for this strain @shantibaba , so far it is pretty superb pheno shootout with NL5Haze x MKS


quick 9 pics photo merge




2 bigest buds





Speary middle bud




Lower bud




Whole plant in autumn colours





Seedbud with some seeds made with WACO male pollen
