Northern Lights, day 1!
The next grow has officially began! I figured I'd go for a more oldschool and well renowned strain, and the northern light autos from RQS seemed to fit the bill perfectly. It's only a 4x4 tent so the yield won't be huge (and will take a lil while!), but I'll do everything in my power to make sure the flower is perfect. A lot of lessons have been learned, a lot of time has been spent researching and a lot of time will go into caring for these 3 babies. They're under a 640w full spectrum LED light, in coco coir and will be fed with advanced nutrients until the flush! After this crop, the plan is to get a bigger tent so that I can list multiple strains with even better quality at even lower prices, and on a much more consistent basis! For now though, let's bloody grow! I wish all biggas a good day, week and month, and if any experienced growers have any little tips/tricks to improve, I'd love to hear them! πŸ™‚

Happy growing mate. I love using these foam ties, they are cheap and make 'low stress training' really easy. I usually trim the foam to pin the stems down with them early on and then use them as spreader bars between stems later in the grow to keep airflow between buds.
Good luck mate πŸ‘

Nice idea with foam.

I normally have green garden wire embedded in my plants. They grow over it and form a huge knuckle

Yeah its great stuff, you can buy it on a roll too, if you spiral it round a stem you can pretty much free form them

Good stuff, I like that idea! And those are some really healthy looking plants!
Rozzyexpress
Thank you! I'm definitely gonna do a bit of LST on these and wasn't sure how to go about it so that's a huge help :)
I really appreciate that man!

If your going to pinch off the head do it at 3rd, 4th node. I've had great success with it. Or just pull the fan leaves off to let the light in. Are they 30 litre pots??

Thanks for the tip! The pots are only about 3 gallons but I've grown some monsters in 3 gals before! The grow before last (grapefruit autos) were out of control by mid flower

Very good.

Good luck and I will enjoy the updates on how it goes

Good luck! I've heard you can grow NL outside in the southern parts of the UK. Anyone else heard such rumours?

All plants will grow in the uk during the right time of the year.

Gorilla grows using autos can do 2 crops a season, 3 if they are under cover and get good sun

I've heard similar rumours about some oldschool strains, I don't think NL specifically but there's a lot of strains that people say do really well in the UK climate... I grew a solo strawbnana plant outdoors in 2022 and was genuinely shocked at how well it did

I will put 6-9 autos in that tent mate. 3 autos it’s not enough for that space you could have much better yield in same time.
Rozzyexpress
I really appreciate the advice but autos just seem to get out of control for me! I think it may be something to do with being in coco and also maybe because I keep feeding veg nutes during early stretch (until bud sites are really forming), OR possibly because I've been lucky with genetics, but I tried running 5 autos in there before and sadly had to kill 2 of them due to sheer size. This pic is the canopy with 3 grapefruit autos in it (grow before last) and that wasn't even the buds at full size!

Hey boss,
I just want to drop my 2p here as I have grown this exact auto strain from RQS. If you take my advise you should swap this out to a better strain before you put too much effort into it, just to be let down by the results at end like I was.
Autos have much less potential for yield and I ran several auto strains when I started out growing none of which tasted up to today's standards.
I would advise against growing from seed as a beginner because they are a hit and miss. If you heard the term pheno hunting before it refers to growing a number of plants of the same strain from seeds and taking cuttings labelling them and at the end of the grow they choose the best pheno to keep and clone for consistent good quality.
If you insist on keeping the autos I would suggest you start low stress training as soon as you can because time is limited with them.
Once it starts to get bigger strip down all the lower sites so the plant will put all her energy into the tops, this way I got nice looking results but I was always dissapointed with how they smoke. Once I got hold of some fire cuttings my whole game changed for the best :)
Either ways best of luck and feel free to reach out if need any help with growing.
