Glass of water followed by paper towel. 24hrs in water then switched to towel in ziplock put into dresser drawer.
Seed popped open in the first 24hrs.
Day 2 and she is going strong! Prepping the 3gallon pot. Soil was mixed and dried out and now I added in 8cups bottled and 2-4cups tap. I let it sit out an hour and then PHd it to 6.4. Low ppm, sub 200. Buttchugged the pot for at least an hour, which it surprised me it took that long to fully saturate up to the top. drained her. PHd the drain water at 5.9 and a high ppm of 1200. Mixed and fluffed the soil thoroughly.
8/13/21 Think this might be day 9? woops. She had a little sliver of a tried seed cover stuck on her that I pulled off and now shes looking good.
8/15/21 I thiiiiink todays like day 3 of week 1 actually. Gave her like a quarter of a cup of phd water with just a drop of micro haha. hope she's happy.
8/16/21 not looking as great as I hoped. I'm not happy she is still like 24inches from the light. I gotta find a better way to bring her closer. Might also be a liiitle over watered. delicate little baby and her twisty green leaf.
8/18 well she was looking happy. till she fell over.
8/22 nothing to report. been watering minimally since she seems sensitive to overwatering
8/25 such a thin little stem on her compared to the NL. She is techincally at her third node where I can start lst her again but that wimpy stem though haha. I gently pushed her with one finger over and she is now leaning heavy one way. I'll check her in an hour or two to see if she stood back up or what. She's probs ready for a light watering too. Been holding off on it as much as i can since she seems very sensitive to overwatering. Watered half a bottle PHd to 6.3. water
8/27 watered her the rest of the bottle of water at 6.4-6.5ph. She hasnt grown much height wise since last checked but her stem is thickening up which is great cause that stem skinny af.
8/29/21 gonna start lst soon. Her stem has thickened up a good deal. I'm just waiting till she gets slightly taller cause the soil is so low in the pot
9/1/21 started her on nutes. I pint of water with .7ml micro .65ml grow and .45ml bloom Phd to 6.4 and 830ppm. Also started her LST yesterday. The Nutes equal out to the 3rd weeks medium schedule for GH- 5.6, 5.2, 3.8ml per gallon.
9/4/21 Last day of the week. I have been slacking on the journal. Been LST her the past few days. Doing the same exact feed as last time. Mayyybe slightly more? instead of .7ml it may have been closer to .8 or .9. PH is at 6.4 and ppm 720. Continued LST. Thought of topping her but..i mean shes gonna be a low dense plant anyway.
9/7/21- d3? time for feeding.gonna use 1.5 bottles of water instead of the single one from last week got a tiny bit of run off it was 6.2ph and like 1400ppm woof
9/9/21-d5 got some good lst going on and defoliated some of the enormous satellite leaves that were blocking the movement of the growing branches.
9/10 looks like this preflower is taking grasp.
9/12-day 1
9/13 day 2- 2.5 micro, 2.4 gro, 1.8bloom in 3PTs 650ppm, 6.1-6.2
runoff 5.8 3k ppm...woof, first time i fed enough to get any runoff. No signs of nute burn or toxicity so i guess we will just keep this running.
9/14 day 3 - really showing the preflower
9/16- day 5 - mixing up 6pints for 2 waterings- this one and week 6d1.
4.6 micro - 4gro - 5.1bloom 6.2ph -- 700ppm.
5.8ph runoff and 2600ppm
9/17- d6
9/26 d1
9/27 d2- not sure if the older leaves yellowing and spotting is a MG deficiency or not. I havent given any calmag yet so maybe i should do that next feed/watering. Also it could be salt build up from giving her so much nutes? I'm not happy with how weak and unhealthy the pistils look. They look like someone gave am all a noogie.
flushed with a gallon of water phd to 6.3, the run off read 6.7 and almost 2500ppm. I lowered the light down to around 7-8inches from the canopy. I got an ac unit up and running and im trying to lock in the temps.
10/1 d6? 1ml of micro and gro, 2,l bloom, in halg gall, 2ml calmag- reads close to 500ppm 6.5ph. runoff 6.2ph 2200ppm.
10/2 d7- man the calmag deficiency spread like the plague. Not many leaves left untouched. I realize during the flush I think I was supposed to add the calmag to that..which you know would have helped prevent it spreading so heavily over the next 3-4days until i could feed her again. Her run off being so high still means the next watering will also probably be a flush with calmag added only.
The Mars Hydro arrived super early. I ordered i middle of thursday and it arrived saturday afternoon. Pretty sweet. I got her set up at about 14inches from plant canopy reading almost 800PPFD, 53DLI, 48k Lux and 3650 Kelvin. Temps lowered a few degrees too! With both fans in during the day (one intake and 1 exhausting out the door) shes reading around 70.
Eventhough the calcium deficiency is pretty intense the buds still seem to be developing which is a bit surprising. Hopefully the calmag I fed yesterday starts to help how weak the stems are. Also interesting that you can take pics with the light fully on. Makes it look a bit light green though.
Hey at least I think the Gorilla Glue is "fixed" now. Should have done a way better job and flushing her the first time. I was told to flush it with 2x as much water as you would normally water it. Thats what I did. What I failed to realize was that having the runoff at 2500ppm didn't mean that the soils salt solution went down to where we want it, i also didn't realize how low the ppm SHOULD be. Then I fed her MORE nutes the next watering AND calmag because her original signs of calmag deficiency sky rocketed. So she was nute locked, i flushed her but not enough and the calmag deficiency worsened. It took over 80+percent of the foliage. So today I took her to the bathtub and flushed her about 6 times until finally getting around 6-700ppm, PHd down a gallon of water and finished with that. That run off read 6.5ph and somewhere in the 500'sppm.
She already looks perked up, Hopefully balance has been restored. I did get a good little look at her during the flush and her buds are more developed than i expected considering this big deficiency this past week. She for certain is producing more trichomes already than the NL ever did. Hopefully she can thicken up. I plucked the worstly deficient fan leaves. Don't want to do too much stressfull shit to her.
10/8, water 6.5ph 150ppm going in, runoff was 6.6 and 370ppm. She super stanky during handling. woowee.
10/10-
10/12- day 2 Watering at about 20-25% so thats not even 1ml a gallon for micro and gro and like 1.1ml for bloom. Reading at 170ppm and somewhere in the early 6's for ph..not sure my pens on the fritz aso i used the drip tester.
Runoff was 420. Last time it was 370 after I fed it 150 so she is eating just..pretty slow and minimally. Pretty sure shes burnt to hell from the new light since all the shaded leaves are fine so I moved it up a few inches and the photone reading is now at 30-40DLI at the tops (which are the most burn spots) instead of closer to 55DLI(which is recommended for flowering stage)
10/16- ph 6.4- ppm 125 in, 6.5-ph, 370ppm out. Crazy week- neighbor flooded our downstairs slowly for over a week and now we can't stay there for 3 weeks while its fixed.
10/18-Day1
10/20- d3- put about 1ml micro and gro and closer to 2 of bloom. about 300ppm going in- i forgot to ph it so it ended up going in at 5.7?ph, runoff was 500 and 6.2ph.
10/22 d5? sticky icky and smelling amazing.
10/23- fed no nutes, just PHd water had less than 200ppm, runoff was 300ppm. I couldnt help myself and cut off the most done/small top nug to start drying. She is definitely a nice dense nug; much bigger and fuller than my first attempt with that weird northern lights strain. She is still fully milky trichomes, and boy did I search for those ambers.
25 d1
26 d2 - wow could smell her when I walked in my room. Still zero signs of amber trichomes and this is supposed to be the last week of flower. I'm gonna go ahead and guess she's gonna go to week 12. I wanna give her all the time and chance to get dense full buds. The top flower I harvested early is on day 4? of drying and I think I'll switch her over to curing soon, Been interesting giving her a sniff every once in a while and noticing the subtle changes. She still doesnt fully smell like hay yet, like a really sweet hay maybe.
27th- fed 1ml micro, 1.2ml bloom. ph 6.2in 200ppm in. 6.4out- 350ppm out. Stankin the whole place up. Such gas.
The nugget I was drying is done and she truly is a lot denser than that airy ass northern lights.
29th- Finally cought sight of one or two amber trichomes on the main cola.
30th- getting real close to harvest. I could have harvested her today if i really wanted to- all milky trichomes with the beginnings of some amber. Think I will wait till monday or tuesday. She so stinky and sticky.
Runoff was 300ppm. Fed only water.
Also i think today is the 80th day of her grow.
1st- a few more amber trichomes. Clipped another bud off to start the dry.
3rd- kind of disappointed. That was one of the larger buds and after a couple days drying its already down from 7Gs to 2G WITH the big stem still attached. Autoflowers really don't give enough bud in a single harvest to do much then. I'm probably going to have JUST barely an ounce after dry/cure. The thought of switching to photoperiods after these grows is high on my mind. I think id rather wait an extra month to have 2-3times the yield. I'm thinking of starting one after this harvest. The youngest seedling rn is only a couple weeks from switching to flower anyway. I could start a photoperiod inw ith these autos and switch it over to 12/12 after 2 months and by that time all the autos will be towards the end of their flowering stage so 12/12 lighting isn't a big deal.
The tallest colas have some amber going on but still not even 10% and I am still seeing quiet a bit of clear trichomes so I guess we are pushing her further.
