Northern Lights Grow Journal

A complete grow cycle from seed to harvest

PhotoflowerRoyal Queen Seeds
Only a 4'x2' tent this time from Vivosun. 200w of Aerolight LEDs powered this grow. Maximum pot size of 5 gallons after an initial, small, starter pot. Really happy with the trichome production we got out of these, but would have liked to see a littl bit fatter yield. I think the main issue we ran into was not dialing up the lights at the right time of the grow. I don't think the light pentration was good enough in flower. In any case, these buds looked amazing, had a strong citrus smell, and smoked superbly!
