A Tale of 2 Northern Lights Autos

12/12: Day 21, Veg. week 3. Today was transplant & water day. You can see from the picture that the plants have expanded nicely this past week. The greens have extended to the edges of the 3/4ths gallon pots. So I prepared the Pro-Mix HP+ with some Xtreme Gardening Mykos and water and up-potted. At the same point as the two Tangerine Dream (a week ahead of these) showed some roots at the edge, but these Northern Lights have well more root development at the bottom edges of the pots. Both bags, though both prepped with over a half gallon of water (easier to deal with when it's not powdery dry) got another gallon and a half each and had at least 15-20% runoff. Plants have also both been adding half an inch to an inch every 24 hours. Leaves responded to their first feeding mid last week by greening up nicely but not too much and there was no burning. Lights have been bumped up to about 480PPFD and maximized DLI for the age/week. 12/14 (Day 23) a bit more growth as these little ones start finding the root space in their new 5g bag homes. Not much else has happened in the past couple days. One of the pics shows the soil 'cracking' but that's just happening as the soil dries and it's still plenty moist suggesting that we'll water late on day 24 or probably day 25. 12/18: Day 27: I held off an extra day on watering these since last week's transplant. I'd not only wetted the soil for transplant but further 'watered them in' to the 5g. bags and they didn't love that much wet across the week. They yellowed off and lost a couple lowers. So I waited a bit longer than normal (and probably could have gone another) before their feed. I'm trying to get these to align with the two older tangerine dreams I'm doing but so far they're being a bit pissy about that. They did get fed 1.5g each at ~480PPM. The lights have also been adjusted for a bit more PPFD to keep 'em pushing. Sitting at 670ppfd.
