Can I enter this @archie gemmill? I’m about ready to drop a seedstockers northern lights for the s/stockers battle.........she ain’t gonna be going 100 days though!
7 day/week 1 update) Seedstockers Northern Lights.
Here she is after 1 week of hitting paper towel.
She’s had a spray of rhizotonic & seaweed extract every other day. No other changes have been made.
Week 2 update. (14 Days)
Well, it’s been an emotional but amazing 5 days.
On day 9 I accidentally chopped my northern lights seedling clean in two. I piled up some dirt around the chopped stem and hoped for the best...... the first two leaves started to turn brown and I thought it was all over until I noticed new leaves growing on day 12!! I honestly can’t believe it! Has anyone else ever done this? Anyway, she is still on plain water PH’d to 6.3 and is being sprayed daily with rhizotonic/seaweed extract & Epsom.
I’ve moved her 6 inches closer to the light and the new growth/leaves seem happy.
No other changes have been made.
Here she is nestled amongst the dense foliage of ma ganja garden!

There really isn’t much to say this week. She is growing after the accidental chop.
She’s been watered very little (about 15 - 20ml) Of water every other day.
Sprayed with rhizotonic every day, seaweed extract now once a week.
Need to measure distance from the light as I keep forgetting.
I have emptied the tent today and made sure she isn’t so sheltered by the other plants, she’s now getting full-on light.
Anyway, here’s a couple of snaps......

Apologies for the late update, I haven’t been coming on much over the past month due to injury, illness, work commitments and now I’ve managed to catch a rotten cold while starting to harvest the other ladies in my tent. FML.
Anyway, this latest update proves that you can keep a largish strain pretty much as small as you like, especially if you treat it badly and watch your lighting/watering levels. Anyway, she’s currently 8” tall and hit flowering on day 37, I’m hoping she’ll hit at least a foot and NO more. (I’m looking for a little smoke here and I need a break tbh)
Here she is in all her small glory!
