Northern Lights and Aurora Indica: Round 3

[IRISH]

uummmm, NL???... did you get the seed from a breeder, or a friend??? i , too was under the assumption NL was indica. those sure do look like Sativa leaves to me. now the AI, man shes a beaut. gonna have to give that one a try myself. i love my indica. . Mojo for some ladies hillbilly...bb...

 

[Thorn]

Hey bro, can't believe I missed this one! They look alright...love the aurora's big fat indica leaves I do like the look of that strain. Hope they doing alright

 

[godspeedsuckah]

Northern Lights has 3 different phenotypes from what I was reading. One of the phenotypes is more sativa dominant due to the thai plants used years ago in the breeding. They came from marijuana-seeds.nl. Of course, who really knows, they didn't come in the breeder packs and there is so much cross breeding that it could be anything. Hopefully it is good LOL. I have a feeling it is going to take a very long time to finish.

hxxp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Lights_(strain)

pretty cool, thanks wikipedia. LOL. I will pull up the other article I found on it. I should have bookmarked it.

 

[godspeedsuckah]

That is weird for NL. I thought it was an Indica? The Aurora Indica looks like she is living up to her name. Green Mojo headed your way man!

I just contacted them because their description and what I have are two totally different things. LOL. Thanks for making me double check that. I have waited years for northern lights and I may not even have it if they gave me the wrong seeds LOL :doh: Well hopefully it will be good. I have more tying down to do on her tonight.

hey hillbilly, yeah, i don't think they would give you the wrong seeds'., although, it is possible. only very slightly though. seems like i did read something about a Sat pheno look'in NL somewhere on site. don't remember who, what, or where though. gonna go read the wiki thread you put up. ( she almost has the appearance of Andy's Chrystal. ).
GREEN MOJO Hillbilly...bb...

Edit> just scoped out the wiki. it say's the NL#5 can grow up to 14 feet. better get out the bungee cords, and the duct tape bro. lol...bb...

hey bro,i am wondering about this myself as i also ordered the NL frow them.i hope mine are like yours as i like the sat doms.better anyway.but ya should get what you pay for.as i told ya in pm,i am skeptical on the seed pack they sent me.it sure does not look like NL on the packet.i emailed them a pic of the packet and they assured me it was NL.try and ask them bro is all i can say.good luck on whatever they are.they sure do look sat dom to me.wanna trade,lol just picking.good luck

 

[godspeedsuckah]

They wrote me back and said they are very puzzled because the description calls for an indica dominant plant. I am sending them pictures and they are contacting their breeder to find out what happened. As long as it kicks my arse and reveg's fine i will be satisfied. Who knows maybe they will send me a new pack of seeds.

mine came in an unmarked pack with NL on it. Very small seeds compaired to the AI's.

 

[godspeedsuckah]

I guess I will have to break out the bungee cords pretty soon. LOL. I know she is getting tied up some more when I get home tonight. The internodes are well over 12" long now. LOL.

i had some NL beans last year also, and they were very tiny seeds. i was very disappointed with them. i put 6 in paper towel to germ, and 3 weeks later, none had germed, so out they went. i was po'ed. i gifted the rest to a good friend. maybe he will have better luck with 'em. actually, i get a better female to male ratio with my unknowns, than i do with known strains. getting tired of giving my hard earned cash to these unsavvy breeders. 1 or two fems, out of 10-20 is not good buisness. oh well, back to the schwag beans i guess...bb...

I had a lot of males this year myself, I am not sure why that is. I did some research on it and didn't find anything that really makes sense. I am looking forward to when Mandala starts selling seeds again in January.

 

[andy52]

me too.i want some satori bad

 

[godspeedsuckah]

No word yet as to what the seeds could be. I have noticed the new growth is pale and did some research on this. Apparently coco will take in magnesium, sulfur and calcium and release potassium. I ran epsom salts through the bucket and will see if that helps when lights come back on. I have increased the watering schedule to 1 gallon per plant when lights come on and 1/2 gallon per plant about 4 hours before lights off, when I have noticed the plants lagging. So far they seem to love it. I have scratched my head for days and hope that the epsom salts will do the trick. My ppm was only 600 when adding them, so I shouldn't have any problems.

 

[IRISH]

whats the good word gss? any news from the breeder? got some more ****?:hubba: ...bb...

 

[godspeedsuckah]

no word yet banjobuzz, I just hope it is something good. she is very sativa and has bud sites all over the place. I am considering this my first week of flowering (nearly 3 weeks to start seeing white hairs.) I have tied her down in 3 spots, tied down the internodes, and the small shoots on all the internodes are growing up to be long bud sites. She should be one giant bush; not bad for 2 months old on the 20th of this month.

 

[BuddyLuv]

I am going to go out on a limb here. I have a NLxBig Bud that was bought from Nirvana, which appears to be what MarijuanaNlseeds seems to be selling. The plant looks exactly the same as the one in your pic. It too is taking for ever to bud and is a monster bush that had to be tied down. I will take a pic for you so you can see. I have a feeling someone may have substituted your pure NL beans with this cross. Did yours almost quadruple in size when it went into flower? I had to flower my last batch of clones at 6 inches because the mother did this, they too did the same thing.

 

[godspeedsuckah]

Howdy buddyluv. Since beginning flowering she has just exploded. If she keeps growing at this rate she will smother the aurora indica and fill the closet lol.

 

[andy52]

hey GSS,sounds like a forest in the making.i have yet to hear anything about my mazar plants either.its still not showed *** and its 6 weeks old.

 

[godspeedsuckah]

Hey andy!! How long has she been in 12/12 for? I am going to send them 1 more email requesting information; if they don't respond than I guess it is time I start spreading the word on marijuana-seeds.nl lack of compassion in their customer service department and their inability to track the breeds they sell. The plant is growing fantastic and I have not had 1 plant that was a hermie, so I have nothing but good things to say about the genetics. So long as she is a great smoke I will be very happy, I just want to know what I have.
