Northern Light/Royal Creamatic - Soil

tavaresf The seed were in the soil after the paper towel germination on the 14th of July and on the 15th they were out of the soil saying hi to the Mars 100w lights. I think the heat speed up the process. Just hope the heat won't cause them stress later on.

tavaresf The heat wave affected but lightly the plants. Small signs but their development is incredible fast (at least for me from previous grows). However they seem a bit more darken green than their brothers in Coco Coir.

tavaresf The growth is at a strong pace. Each day the plants grow like I have never seen. These Soil plants are a tiny bit bigger than their Coco coir brothers but they have a stronger dark green color so I stop add Bio-Grow.

tavaresf The plants are now flowering. The NL seems fine and with a closer appearance to the Coco mix brothers. However, the RC is struggling a bit. Despite being the tallest it is also the less bushier and the edge of the leaves are turning down and some yellowing in the older leaves. I think i should stop adding nutrients but will ask the community for advice.

tavaresf Missed a day of watering and the plants suffered instantly. The tremendous heat didn't help as well. Gave no nutrients this week for the soil sisters and saw a healthier grow despite the dry leafs from the missing water. These girls are 10cm taller than their brothers in Coco mix and less bushier as well.

tavaresf After last week stressing these girls with no water some pruning was necessary with the dead leaves. These two grow taller than the Coco mix brothers but are very different from each other in terms of bud size. The RC has the fatter buds of the 4 plants and the NL has the thiner buds of all the plants despite being the taller one. The Northern Light plant has this strange thing of falling the top leafs when in need of water, but after giving them water the "falling" is even stronger in the whole plant. There was also some spider mites attack but observed and treated in time, i hope :)

tavaresf The surprise for this week was the, to some extent expected, yellowing of the lower leafs and some brown spots on the Royal Creamatic. These two are in different time zone. One, the Royal Creamatic is almost ready to set and dry (in my opinio) but the Nothern Light is still growing its buds and still has the green healthy tone. I will from now on just water with ph water and try to keep it below 6.5 for the next few days.

tavaresf Its incredible how in different stages these plants are. The Royal Creamatic, for me is almost at the point of harvesting and the Nothern Light only now is starting to developing some bud growing. I am now just giving ph water to both plants and already felt a bit less yellowing on both plants. Finally realising that with autoflowers you really don't need mutch nutrients addded. The NL had some small branches growing little buds in the bottom of the plant that I have cut. The main bud from the Royal Creamatic might be the fatter and heavier I have ever grew so I am quite excited.
