Dropastones Northern Lights #5 Grow Journal

an amazingly consistent strain, i'd say this ranks up there wit the best of them for a combination of power, yield and quality
i have not yet seen one report of HGS nl5 having a hermie, i never saw one in my grows

Yeah I'm very pleased with HGS I think they have some phenomenal strains on there. I'm definitely gonna get some more beans from them for sure. I also like the fact that they have a forum too. That way you browse the threads and find out what your getting before you buy.

Dropastone: Wow I've been reading through your posts and following for a while. Don't know why I havent commented on anything but it looks like you sir, know how to grow some marijuana! I've got a 7x7x7 tent with 1000w hps. Also growing NL #5. Got 7 girls 1 week in to flower right now, 50 clones ready to be planted and a mother hiding in her tent. She knows those scissors are coming back soon .. Maybe I'll get un-lazy and make some pics

Thanks Amber.

This may be a repeat for some because I posted it on another forum but I'd like to share it with everybody here as well.

Copy/paste

I've had a bad week thus far. I had a quick power outage Saturday night. I was laying on the couch when the power went out and right back on and I didn't think much about it. A cpl of hours later I went to hop on the computer and I soon realized my pc wouldn't boot up. Got the message that the Master boot record could not be found or something like that. I wasn't too worried at the time because I had all my important info backed up on another drive. So I spent that eveining and most of Sunday reinstalling my opperating system and getting it just the way I like it. So after all that I noticed that my backup drive wasn't showing up on my computer and that's when I started to freak out. Come to find out my backup hard drive was toast as well. I had everything on that drive, pictures, tax returns, Roboform password manager entries, my documents folder, my music folder and the list goes on and on. Some things were replacable but most were not.

I started calling around to see if it could still be salvaged and I had this company out in California tell me that they could retrieve the data but would cost 190 to a thousand dollars depending on the problem to get it all back. So I did more searching and found a local company that said they could do for about a hundred bucks but only if they could see the drive when they hooked it up. So I said I'll be over in the morning.
This is where the story gets a little scary. I had all my MJ pics on there and I was kinda freaking out thinking they might see all those photos and turn me in. Mind you it was only one folder among hundreds that I was worried about them seeing. All in all I thought the risk was worth it because some of the info I had on the drive was irreplacable. So I took the hard drive in and they hooked it up and they could see the folders on the drive. I was like asking the guy why he could see them and I couldn't? He said it was because the way they hook it up through a usb bridge or something like that. I asked well how do I do that but as you may have guessed he wouldn't tell me. I guess that's why they're making the big bucks. So anyway he proceeded to pull 54 gigs of info off my drive and put it on a new 1TB hard drive I bought the day before for 70 bucks. Thank God I bought the new drive because they wanted 120 bucks for a 500 GB drive.

The guy seemed really cool and I don't think he seen anything I didn't want him to. The bill was only 45 bucks to get all my important info back, so with the price of the new drive and the work he did, the total bill was only 115 bucks and I'd say that was money well spent.

Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to share this expeirence I had over the weekend.
Peace and happy growing.
