First Grow/ Nothern Lights Auto

Mrjml Cannot remember all the exact grow conditions due to posting this later on in the grow cycle, but just wanted to put my grow on here so people can see and maybe learn something!

Mrjml Still growing nicely, only using Distilled Water and no nutrients.

Mrjml Same as before, only Distilled Water. A very faint smell began on this week too. On the last day of this week i did a light LST where i pulled the main stem completely over to the side to expose the lower bud sites.

Mrjml LOTS of preflowers now. Flowering will be starting next week. STILL no nutrients. ONLY distilled water. there was A VERY small Calmag defiency that i watched, that only affected 4 or so leaves, but never came back to cause issues with the top leaves so never needed to add calmag. Light is about 80% intensity with a PPFD of 550-600

Mrjml On day 29 I gave it just the small dose of nutrients possible, (Grow Big and Big Bloom) followed up on Day 31 with another small dose of Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom. on Day 30 I was able to remove all the tie downs besides the main one for the whole stem. The bottom of the plant looks like a tree with bark!

Mrjml Now using Ph'd to 6.2-6.3 Tap water, still continuing feeding every other watering. Growing well. Very bush, tried to defoliate some, but still nervous about over doing it and stunting in this stage.

Mrjml Bulking up nicely, only using Bloom Nutes and PH'd tap water.

Mrjml Starting to see leaf color changes as well as wilting, checked PH and PPM to see for issues, and found none. Is this just the flower finishing its life-cycle? It seems it should still have 2-4 weeks. Gave last feeding on Day 52. Will begin flushing at the ending of this week and go on for about 1-2 more weeks watching the trichomes.

Mrjml No more nutrients, getting beautiful colors on the leaves now. Racing to the finish line now.
