Day 85, 12 weeks old NL
Plant, for while now, looks ready to harvest and small sugar leavs are getting more and more toasted and dryed at top parts of the colas but trichomes are not there yet. Plant is suffering from light stress and that may be the cause of the situation in whole.
All leaves or close to all, beside sugar leaves, are removed and I am happy for extra time plant is asking for so lower buds can matture more and become more dense and plant in total be more potent, dense and with extra weight. Very much pleased with what HS1 light did in 0.16 m2 space, expecialy having in mind light penetration limitation of lower parts of branches due to tight growing spaces which prevent branches to open. The plant would fill nicely 60 × 60 grow space (0.36 m2). Very beutiful and impresive beast.
Smoke so far has been nice and chill but not that potent yet, another reason to let trichomes fully matture. Lets see how potent plant will turn out and what final weight I will get.

After 12 days of drying buds are now in jars for curring.
I got jarred 142g, few grams I have smoked and 4-5 grams worth of bud from main cola got moldy, making it total some 150+g for Northern Light Auto Nirvana, what means 2g/watt from HS1 75 watt led light. Also the grow was in 0.16m2 which would equal 930+g/1m2
Spoke to Jeff from Bud Buddies UK, I can use those few moldy buds for extraction if I use 95-99% pure alcohol which will kill all mold spores
Chears!
Mold can be spoted on next photo
2L and 1.5L jars
Moldy bads

Some extra photos for the end!
60g of mainly smaller buds for extraction:
80g of top bigger buds for smoking seasons and enjoying the life and some maybe for more extraction:
5g of big resing droping buds from main cola that were affected by mold (I removed the most affected parts) are already decarboxilated with Nova decarboxylator and will go in 95% food grade ethyl alcohol for oil extraction and 100% neutralisation of mold spores.
Btw I also found two buds of which small parts were partially covered in pure resin oil as nature biproduct of bursting and melting together full ripen trichome glands of happy plant. Touching those two buds resulted in way more sticky fingers even that I alredy had almost all buds through my hands as final selection for jarring. I wish I took photos of them. Live resin that melted in beatifuly sticky amber pools were of so delicious and very sweet test.
Lastly, pine aroma even before curring is so unbelievable, just can't stop smelling it! Northern Light strain is well known for its adorable pine aroma. The high is very bright and open while also very relaxing, chill and enjoyable. If smoking alone you can found yourself in mood to do whatever you may had to do, like cleaning and organising the things with nice flow and even forgeting you smoke. You can also just cruize the internet with smoot easiness or simple chill, watch videos & listen to the music with nice sense of relaxation, flow and well being.
The high is deep and soft at the same time making it enjoyable experience without haviness and couch lock. If I let it longer (harvested after 13 weeks of growth with still plenty of clear trichome, it even looks like I had more milky trichom few weeks before harvest than last days leading to harvest, some strains simple had it different with trichomes) I may had more potent and narcotic high with more couchlock effects, maybe, I do not know for sure. For me, I harvested it just at right time for very comfortable and bright high that do not stop you from doing things. The high has nice balance of lightness and deepness. It will only improve with curring.
Some close ups for the end:

UPDATE:
140g of dried buds when first jared had turned to some 110g after introducing Boveda 58. So that is more accurate weight. With all I spent I may got 120g real weight in total

Nice work. Can get a heavy yield from a good NL plant.
