Fattened out nicely man. How long you letting her run for? Hows the density compared to the blueberry?
The density is night and day compared to the blueberry, this girl is super dense. I would like to go about maybe June 9th or around the 3 month mark. I think she still might have some fattning to do still quite a few white pistils and still need to recede in a little bit more I think I'm going to just use water after the next feeding.

June 9th was my date I wanted to chop the MK too, but not sure she (or I) will mke it that far. Pistils looking on point, trichomes on the leaves are majority amber, just waiting on buds to turn a bit. Won't be long.

She's had nothing but water for 9 days already, and going forward. A few dry dark days, then hanging for a slow dry. Gonna try dry trimming this one, gonna be a pain in the arse!

I don't know if she will make it that far either but I'm looking for about 25% Amber as most still seem to be cloudy/ clear and she is still so green. Hopefully this week will shed more light on how far she might go.

Have you checked the trichomes on the sugar leaves too? They're gonna make some goooooiod hash. You saved your trim from the blueberry, right?

I've been following your thread it's looking good man! What kind of heat are you dealing to cause the taco leaves there? Or did that just happen naturally?
My temps rose into the upper 80's the other day, had to move plant but now temps are back to mid to upper 70's.

Yea the sugar leaves are still cloudy, yes I did save all the trim the sugar leaves are all in the freezer now just waiting for this one to be done and I will probably make a little butter.

Sorry guys that I'm a little late on my weekly update. The northern lights is 77 days as of today and is still growing well. I can't check in on her like I would like to since I moved her to a different location. That really sucked setting up a new grow space on the limb like that so I definitely think she had gotten some heat stress but still moving along. I'm hoping she will be done in a couple weeks.
As for the blueberry smoke report, I will cover the water cure first. The water cure is super easy with not really having to worry to much, as far as the drying and curing in the jars, the smoke is super smooth. The downside to the water cure is that they shrink down in size quite a bit and loose most smell. As far as the blueberry taste that is getting better with each nug that I take out. All in all I think I got close to 15 grams. The nugs are a little fluffy but I really can't complain for being able to smoke my own stuff and not spending 20 bucks a gram of garbage.
Take care everyone and have a great weekend.

After getting through this blueberry grow I think next time I should be able to do a lot better on the yield. When the northern light finishes up I will probably do another grow in about 3 months, well depending on how much I get off of the northern light.

No need to ph your flush buddy but if ya want grow big girls feed coco DAILY! You can't over warter em. :weed:
I caught on to the daily feeding with the northern light and it had good growth, so next run should be a lot better with the new knowledge of growing. I'm just watering regular tap water that has been sitting out with a air stone, I just keep a 5 gallon bucket filled with water and use that.

You talking coco in a regular pot? How would it compare against coco hempy bucket? I'm a few weeks into first hempy bucket grow, and very impressed vs soil so far, but was thinking about how it would compare to a coco/perlite mix in a fabric pot. Got 10 awesome seeds that I want to get the very best out of...

@SickSickWorld I think that they might be fairly close. The Hempy the solution sits in the bottom of the bucket and coco you can feed daily, I might do a side by side run next grow.

Well, that's it, I'm growing Amnesia in coco hempy now, topping resevoir to run off once a week, so I'm sat twiddling my thumbs for 6 and a half days. Soil pots get watered twice a week tops, wheras I wonder if daily top feeding a coco smart pot would be the best option for massive growth and yields.

Judging by the amnesia though, I am fucking loving coco coir and the hempy method. There's no stopping that shit, I may have to fim the bastard!

@SickSickWorld i think that the daily feed is good for explosive growth, with the blueberry I was more or so watering like soil and the northern light I had started to feed everyday and grew crazy.
My next grow will hopefully show a big improvement. I think that I will maybe try a 5 gallon bucket or a 10 gallon tote and see how that works with the autos if the larger container with coco will make a even bigger difference next time.
