Hey mcpurple was just checking out your journal and see you had the same problem. I was just looking at your plants when they were at 4 weeks and the buds look huge compared to mine! The even look all orangey. Do mine seem stunted? Just headin back to your journal to check out if there chopped yet...

yes i did have the same prob and mine started in week 2 of flower. i didnt know what it was for awhile and then someone recomended some veg nutes to add nitro once i did this it strated to come back to a green and seem healthier overall. and yes they do look huge the cam makes it look fatter than it is. also they could look smaller because it is a different strain, differnet light, different flowering times, and mine were a bit orangy due to some polination that took place. and mine wont be chopped for a week or 2 still. i will take another look at your plants and let you know what i think and my big girl is at day 44 of flower i think i might let her go 60 if i can hold on that long, i really need the room for my other plants

Will get some pics soon. I think it was definetly where i Switched to flowering nutes straight away instead of waiting 2 weeks into flower. I fed it a half dose of veg nutes and it doesnt seem to be progressing too much. Also the buds are swelling and getting real crystally so i dont think its too much of a deficiency. Maybe its just using all of its nitrogen up and will be a fast finisher.

Mcpurps wheres the links to your other 2 grows?

So i checked my dates and im at 33 days 12/12. Think i might have nute burnt them a little (1st pic) And the N deficiency is still spreading but not that fast. I think they might be early finishers coz they are crystally as hell. Has any body else grown northern lights and if so what was the finishing time ( i know it should be 60 days)

Im gonna go and research trichs in a mo. I got a cheap microscope for about 4 quid of ebay. When i looked through it at one of the small leaves the trichs all looked swollen and i think they were all cloudy. I saw like one or two amber ones. No orange hairs as off yet.

Im thinking of cutting one down a week before the others any way as i want a decent smoke while im cropping the rest. Or i could just harvest a few side branches off the smallest plant. :hump:

Here we are at day 41 and all seems well. A little nute burn on 1 plant but apart from that no more bad yellowing and the buds look dense as hell. 1 seems to be maturing faster. think it is the ak 48. Do ak and NL look the same?

Hoping for a pound what do you guys think? I cant wait if these babies double in size in the last 2 weeks.

Also any opinions on how long i should flush. Im growing in biocanna and biocanna boost. I know some people say not to flush organics but i think i could taste the fert in my last crop.

Looking good my man, I like to flush in the middle of the 7th week, cause I like to let my girls go to about 8 1/2 to 9 weeks.
Everyone has thier own preferance, just gotta find what suits you best. I haven't used organics so I really can't say.....

Sounds good that was what i was thinking. At least 10 days of plain water. Do you just feed water or do you completely flush, like running loads of water through until runoff is clear. Might be a bit of a mission getting them all to the bathtub.

I just fed a feeding of 1/5 veg ferts like you said then back to full strength flower and boost.

Also got a bit of a dilema. currently veging 4 ice and 4 jock horror. They all look lovely, will start a journal this week.

i uncle bens topped them and dont know wether to give 2 away and have 6 in flower like i currently have.

my space is 4 x 5.

8 will be a bit of a squeeze and is that too many for a 600watter. . Also im still undecided whether to lst them and will have to make my mind up soon.

what do you guys think 6 or 8. its just a shame coz they all look so great.

Well if you can sell 2 I'd do that and have 6 if you're sure it's gonna be too cramped in there. You can do 8 with a 600, or are you talking about the foot print won't reach all 8 in your room?

i would do 6, i have a 2 1/2 fott by 4 foot room and i can barely fit 4 in theri. with out bein to crowded. also if u have the width in the room to lst then i would but not if thei is not enopugh room thtas why i didnt do hardly any lst on my girls this time cuz i have more plants that need the room

So here we are at 49 days flower and ive just flushed. 4 plants have mostly red hairs and when i checked trichs they are all cloudy with a few ambers dotted around. Also the leaves are rapidly yellowing.

Do these seem ready now. I am dissapointed with the size of the buds, can i expect them to swell any more?

They look nice man, but you should go for 60 days man, at least. Just my opinion though.
They really start to swell from week 6-8
