Northern Lights 2: Attic Boogaloo

Another good week. I started seeing some fall colors coming out in the fan leaves and it had been about a month since I last topdressed so I added about an inch thick layer of build a flower to the top of the soil. The gorilla glue auto she was sharing a tent with got harvested this week and I probably would’ve let her go another week but the fade came on fast and the leaves started dying so I pulled her because I didn’t want to risk mold from the decaying leaves. I didn’t want this one to fade as early so I want to make sure the medium has all the nutrients it needs. We also got slammed with that winter storm that struck the east coast and the tent is in the attic so it could just be the temperature that’s bringing out the colors. The build a flower is pretty hot though and there was a bit of burn on a couple of leaves but I don’t think it’s going to be as bad as the gg4 plant got. Aside from that she’s doing great, still a bit of spotting on a few leaves that I’m almost certain is calcium deficiency and the leaves are a lighter green, which I think is magnesium, so I watered in some cal mag tonight. I can tell the flowers are ready to start bulking up so I expect that they’ll pack on some mass this week. I’m hoping she finishes out in 2-3 weeks because I have a couple of photos that I want to move up to the attic tent and flip to flower ASAP. I’m trying to time it so the change of weather in the spring doesn’t hit too early into flower since the attic tent gets brutally hot if the temps outside reach above 80. I’m also going out of town for a week in April and I’m hoping to harvest and let them dry during that time.
