My Northern Lights comes down today. Tiny bit of mould in one flower, my fault. I haven't been here to put them in when it rains, she caught a lot of rain and I knew she would get some, checked her hourly for a few days, got the mould early. She has been a pleasure to grow. Spicey smelling buds, not to stinky, but get close on a warm day, you know it. Great leaf/bud ratio, and a lovely solid nug. I can't wait to smoke her.
Now, to the not so good bit......I started 8 seeds, finished with 2 plants, and of those, only the Northern Lights was desirable, the Wedding Cheese Cake had everything, just a really poor bud structure, piss poor actually, which is killing me, 'cos it's a lovely smoke. I've had a couple of uncured bud joints, and it tastes great, smooth smoke, and a smell that for me is unique, a mix of cheese and tetra fish food, doesn't sound very sexy, but it's really nice. But that structure really pisses on the fire.
I will grow them both again, but the germ rates, and twisted plant issues are always in the back of my mind, and those odds 2 out of 8.....
Northern Lights, please excuse the out of focus shots, but you try taking pics, on one leg, camera in one hand, crutch in the other
