Had some problems
Looks like I was over watering, small plant in a big pot issue. Got that fixed
And as a result of over watering I got some light mold on top of the soil, got that removed and it has not returned.
Vigourous grow last week.
Most have been identified as females, few still unsure.
Probably dealing with some root issues as some individual leaves are showing spots and cupping, but 90%+ of every plant looks healthy.
Day 35 Looks like all issues have been resolved.
Removed most bottom leaves that had turned yellow, some had spots from before. Left a few yellow leaves to see if they will improve.
No new leaf spots for almost 2 weeks as it only effected lower leaves, and cupping leaves are back to normal.
Also have good flowers on 8 of the 10 plants, 2 are just behind.
Developed some Cal-Mag problems due to low ph at the roots.
Got it stabilized and root ph is improving.
Also a bit less smell.. maybe due to outside temperatures getting colder.
Coming along nicely... Buds forming on all of the ladies, but at different rates.
Also getting taller but slowly. Possible nuteburns on some of them.
Nice smell coming from some of the buds.
Half still going strong.. Buds getting bigger.
2 are still getting taller but very slow bud progress, and they appear a little more light green. Any ideas what is going on?
And my queen who had the most vigorous growth for weeks has become stunted with apparent Manganese deficiency, just gave it a good 5L flush, see what happens.
Harvest window is getting closer, nice tricomes are forming, smell is increasing.
Plants are maturing at very different rates.. some have stopped growing and are gaining nice buds. Others still growing and producing less bud, and 2 are growing like crazy and just have some budlets.
As of now it looks like I will harvest half of the plants or more by the end of the harvest window and the last 2 will be harvested early in the window.
OK getting along, getting closer to harvest. looks like I will have 3 different harvesting times, maybe 4.
The first 3 have maybe a week or 10 days to go, next 3 maybe a week later, next 3 or 4 a week after that.
Don't know what is causing the ladies to mature at different rates.
A secret nutrient I'm using as well Molasses about 1ml/l, should give some flowering boozt and enhance the sweetness of the final product.
Getting closer..
2 more in the beginning of the harvesting window.
4 getting close to harvest.
4 not in the window yet and looks like they have few more weeks to go.
Any ideas why the ladies are maturing at different rates?
Still a way to go.. all plants are progressing.
Buds are densing up nicely, looks like they put on more weight every day now.
I want to harvest the first 2 plants but tricomes appear to not be ready yet, still all white.
Soooo Week 13, did not expect things to go this far..
1 got scrapped due to being stuck in Veg. stage, a shame because she was my second largest. so 9 to go..
1 is showing darkening of the trichoms, and not one of those I was expecting to harvest first.
5 are flowering strong but still all white trichoms.
3 are flowering with still weeks to go.
had same problem with my 1st grow as well. don't use to much water in the veg state. Let the roots search for more moist earth to get a nice root base. I look at leaves if i wanna know if it's time for water or not.
They will tell you when they need water! :)
Nice healthy looking plant tho, don't think they are much affected by the overwater ;)
Hey, nice grow!
I have the same "problem" with northern lights auto. I have 4 plants, and they are all flowering at different rates. Didn,t get any specific answers yet, but probably something called phenotype (like brothers and sisters - very simmilar but different)
@Bronhitis, thanks! I was pretty sure I was not the only one experiencing this..
As of this morning I noticed the pistils are darkening on all plants except the 3 tallest ones. 2 of them are flowering, looks like the 3rd one keeps entering veg. stage ...
FYI, I used autos and LEDs my first grow and I relied on trics and went FAR too long and they never did amber up.
Look for other evidence. There will be a noticeable FATTENING right before ripening. If the trics arent going amber in your setup, if it looks like it would in ta bag AND has fattened up and the white hairs are gone, its probably done.
I grow in coco, so take that for what it is worth, but don't make the mistake I did on my first grow and go too long and over ripen. You will lose terps and perhaps potency.
I am NOT saying go early, but the fattening, retraction of hairs, and appearance of a high times centerfold may be a better indicator as I have heard that LEDs and autos don't produce amber tics and experienced this combo myself.
take that for what its worth from a guy on his 2nd grow who went FAR too long with autos under LEDs
Sweet flower room, very cool - loving the control board, you are going to smash the photo period flowers :)
I grow under LED's myself and tbh, it's true i don't seem to get massive ratios of amber either, i've even let a blueberry grow go well over just to see and i got maybe 20% amber and the buds where over over ripe.
Good Call @mulch - esp "I am NOT saying go early, but the fattening, retraction of hairs, and appearance of a high times centerfold may be a better indicator as I have heard that LEDs and autos don't produce amber tics and experienced this combo myself."
I couldn't agree more, but it's only my exp, everyone's setup is different i guess too.
