This is my first grow. Started soaking 3 NL Autos in water 27/5/2022. on 28/5/2022 all seeds were noted to have sunk and were transferred to their own moistened paper towels inside of a ziplock baggie. 30/5/2022 tails were spotted on all three and they were transferred to premoistened and heated to 78F Jiffy pellets using a dome and seedling mat. Lights were started on an 18/6 schedule, at 30 cm 80% dim per mfg. First seed sprouted on 2/6/2022 followed by the second seed on 4/6/2022. 5/6/2022 both seeds were transplanted into seedling bags and nuts applied at an EC~400, 6.2 ph. The third seed never did sprout.

Fighting with hot temps in the attic this week - reaching a high of 98F with avgs 86-92F mostly. lights were off during 1200-1800 to help reduce some heat. EC of nuts was slowly increased from 400-650 over the week and lights were increased to 50% dimming. Feeding was increased to twice a day towards the end of the week as the seedling sacks seemed to be drying out due to the higher temps in the tent. I have been using 10cc syringes to water/feed. Exhaust fan was scheduled to be turned on to help with the heat. The second seedling had a lot of movement from the circulating fan and supports were added. Not sure I would use the seedling bags again as they made moving the plants a bit of a challenge, will try them for one more grow since I have a few.

EC increased to ~900 with temps improving avg 85F, 80-50% humiditiy, and the light dimming was increased to 80%. EC was at 800 during the transplant to the pre-moistened ~1 gal containers on 17/6. No transplant shock noted as they just kept on growing without interruption. The plant who sprouted a day later is about a day behind in growth and is smaller than the first. Growth this week increased each day and was easily notable. Very exciting as the first 3 weeks are painfully slow.

Crazy growth during the am check. Will be transplanting into final pots likely this week once the plant doubles in size to ~6 nodes. As this is my first grow I will not be topping or FIMing to avoid any stress on the plant and myself. 19/6/2022 75%F, 50-86% humidity. PH 6.1 20/6/2022 Changed the nuts and increased the inflow EC ~1180 and decreased the light height down to 61 cm from 70 cm. Highs were 78F, 50-80% humidity. Plant #1 was the seed that sprouted first and seems to be a node faster than plant #2. Following the nut guide from coco for cannabis on mid veg now. 21/6/2022 70-72F, 50-80% humidity. PH 6.1 22/6/2022 68-76F, 50-80% humidity. EC 1100. PH 6.0 Something looks a little off from the pics and the pics make symptoms appear worse. Plan to remix nuts for 6/23/2022. 23/6/2022 68-76F, 50-80% humidity. EC 1250. PH 5.95 24/6/2022 68-74F, 50-80% humidity EC 1440 PH 5.95 Small humidifier and Inkbird ICH-200 wifi controller installed. Repotted both plants, great root growth wish I could have photographed both, timing seemed right for both. Checked the lights 61 cm and 80%. 25/6/2022 66-74F, 50-88% humidity. EC ~1600 PH 6.0 Chased humidity today and should have better control moving forward, the Inkbird wifi controller with the phone app provides a ton of data in real time. Now I am thinking I need one for temps. Color seems to be improving on both, by increasing the EC. No need to number the plants at the moment as the seed that sprouted first is visually a much bigger lady.

Lots of growth in week 3 hoping the trend continues. Humidity was a bear last week, but forecast for the week is 70-80's with no rain! May try some low stress training on the plants this week. 26/6/2022 72-74F, 65% humidity on avg. EC 1570. PH 6.07 Humidity was mostly 60-70%. They both looked a bit droopy prior to nutrients, what a difference 5 gallon pots drink. Photo of the smaller plant in color is similar to the larger plant. 27/6/2022 72-76F, 62% humidity (no big swings in the past 24hrs!). EC 1760. PH 6.0. Started some leaf tucking on #1. Lowered the light down to 52-55cm. 28/6/2022 72-78F, 65% humidity. EC1800. PH 6.01. Lights at 55 cm and 90% dim. Leaf tucking both, growth overnight is notable. 29/6/2022 72-82F, 62% humidity. EC 1800. PH 5.92. 1.5 L per plant. Removed both lower leaves with three pedals on #1 as they were touching the medium. 30/6/2022 73-83F, 62% humidity. EC1800. PH 5.95. Removed both lower leaves on with three pedals on #2. Lots of growth and branching. Thinking of LST the branches as they are starting to peek out from the canopy. 1/7/2022 76-88F, 62% humidity, EC 1800. PH 5.9. Removed a few lower leaves on 1. First day of LST with 6 branches on 1, and 2 on 2. It is going to get hotter outside and it will not be ideal, but will do the best we can. Thinking the avg is not 88F as lights are off at 1200-1800, and the evenings are cool into the morning. 2/7/2022 Day 28 - 76-84F, 70% humidity. EC1800. PH 5.96. Removed a few leaves on 1, and adjusted and add few branches to the LST. Bumped up the light height due to growth. What week, with a doubling in size to 35/30cm in height respectively. EC increased this week to 1800 and may need to change to preflower nutrients next week. Need to watch the light height at this stage as they are growing. Hoping this continues. Faint sweet smell noted this week when entering the attic. No preflowers, but anticipating that change soon.

Week 5 begins. The growth seems to double week to week, color and overall health appears great on both. LST on the branches to open up a bit so far no issues noted and defoliated a few leaves. Considerations for the week. 1. Additional defoliation and when? 2. Check the growth and lights. 3. Watch for signs of flowering. 4. Adjust nutrients for pre-flowering as needed. 3/7/2022 72-84F, 72% humidity. EC 1800. PH 5.96. 2 L per plant, runoff good. added a few more branches to LST, removed a few leaves. 4/7/2022 72-84F, 74% humidity. EC 1800. PH 5.94. 2 L per plant, runoff good. Removed 2-3 lower leaves off both plants. Noted that the roots have reached the bottom and sides of the 5 gallon fabric pots, soaking up those nutrients, I do see early pistils (wishful thinking?). Raised lights to 55cm. #1 seems stretchy and is 2 days older... 5/7/2022 72-92F, 70% humidity. EC 1800. PH 6.03. 2L per plant, runoff good. Changed to preflower Tripart nutrient schedule, low end of EC, will monitor closely for any signs of stress. Defoliated ~8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of both plants. Hard to tell from the pictures, but will continue to defoliate a few leaves each day. Loving the shape of both plants, especially#2. #1 is a growth machine! Increased light to 95%. 6/7/2022 78-93F, 70% humidity. EC 1840. PH 6.03. 2L per plant, runoff good. No signs of stress from defoliation and change in nutrients. Defoliated ~6 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of both plants. Light height checked 40cm from #1, and 50 cm from #2. Continue to monitor and try to reduce heat in the attic, this week and next will be a challenge. 7/7/2022 78-93F, 65% humidity. EC 1860. PH 5.94. 2.5-3L per plant, runoff good. No signs of stress from defoliation and change in nutrients. Defoliated ~6 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of both plants. Changed spaces with both plants to get better air circulation with the fan (or could have moved the fan!). Added a small fan at top of tent just to keep air flowing. Gathering parts to build a homemade Co2 generator to help the plants better deal with the higher temps, not sure if it will do anything, but it is least I could do for them. These two plants are dealing with non-ideal temp conditions like champs. Height 55cm & 35 cm. #1 was 35cm and #2 was at 30cm at the start of the week. 8/7/2022 78-94F, 62% humidity. EC 1780. PH 5.93. 2.5-3L per plant, good run off. No signs of stress from heat or nutrients, will slowly raise EC. Defoliated ~6 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of plants. Added Co2 generator to help plant tolerate higher temps. Wifi temp/humidity monitor installed for more accurate temps. Will watch this week and next with high temps forecasted and consider decreasing light time to 16/8 to help with heat. Raised the light to 45 cm from #2, #1 ~30cm. 9/7/2022 84-94F, avg 88.5F. 64% humidity. EC 1870., PH 6.04. 2.5-3L per plant. Co2 generator 1-2 bubbles per second, no discoloration in the water or smells. Trimmed a small interior branch during defoliation and I see first signs of flower for #1! #2 cannot be far behind. What a week! Great growth, what a robust strain! Temps are high and they seem to be managing just fine. Grabbed a side-by-side photo for comparison. Height to close out the week 35cm to 66cm, and 30cm to 39cm. Wifi temp/humidity monitor is working well and the data is much more accurate. Going to run the lights one more day at this schedule 18/6, but feel I will need to reduce the light time to help manage the temperature. Questioning if I need to consider ScrOG, early flower with two differing heights?

Week 6 early flowering begins! Color and overall health appears great on both and the size difference is notable. Defoliating ~6 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of plants per day. Added Co2 generator to help plants deal a bit better with higher temps. Changed 10/7/2022 to 12-hour light schedule to help control the heat in attic, will need to add a dehumidifier tomorrow. Heat is going to get worse for four more days this week, ~100F and then taper off. Considerations for the week. 1. Continue light defoliation, do not want to cause any additional stress heading into flower. 2. Monitor light height and adjust. 3. Continue pre-flower nutrient schedule. 4. Consider ScrOG to help with height difference. 5. Try freezing a few 2L water bottles to place in the tent on the 100F+ days. 10/7/2022 - 79-94F 87F avg, 73% humidity. EC 1900. PH 6.0. 3-3.5L per plant, run-off good. Defoliated 6-8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of plants. 11/7/2022 - 74-84F 80F avg! 76% humidity. EC 1800. PH 6.06. 2-3L per plant, run-off good. The cooler temps today and 12-hr schedule light helps. Defoliated 6-8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3. Propped up #2 so heights are the same from the light for now, 40 cm and 100%. Small dehumidifier added, not sure it will work. I do have a much bigger one I know can drop the humidity, but cramming it in the tent is another matter altogether and then draining it twice daily. 12/7/2022 - 82-92F 85F avg! 72% humidity. EC 1800. PH 6.0. 2-3L per plant, run-off good. Defoliated 6-8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3. Will check light height tomorrow, but #1 seems to be growing. 13/7/2022 - 88-92F 88F avg! 72% humidity. EC 1880. PH 6.01. 2.3-3L per plant, run-off good. Defoliated 8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3. #1 is a monster to be sure. ScrOG in am. Adjusted Temp/Humidity probe and light height, will recheck in am and pull the small dehumidifier. 14/7/2022 - 83-95F 89F avg. 72% humidity. EC 1800. PH 5.89. 3L per plant, run-off good. The fan was moved down below the canopy and dried out the surface of #2, she was thirsty. Added the ScrOG and gently started with #1. With the heat I do not want to cause any extra stress. Defoliated 8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3. Removed the height booster for #2, noted minor leaf curling on #2. Ordered another dehumidifier...will pull the small one (it does blow cooler air) when the other arrives. The large dehumidifier will not fit in the tent with these two at the moment. With the ScrOG applied I can see a lot of defoliation is in order. Frozen H20 bottles likely did not do much, but will continue as it remains much hotter than I would like. These two NL Autos are champs and tolerating my newness and heat well. Height on #1 is ~90cm and #2 is 55cm. Thinking #2 will begin to stretch. Will lower the netting tomorrow and continue to tuck branches. ****AM check with leaf tucking resulted in the main cola being bent too far, did not snap off but is now kinda super cropped, UGH! Will be moving the entire setup out of the attic. They have come so far and quite honestly look great for my first time, need to get them across the finish line.....so close yet so far away.***** 15/7/2022 - 81-92F 89F avg. 70% humidity. EC 1880. PH 6.01. 2.5-3L per plant, run-off good. May require less with the reduced heat. Defoliated 8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3. Leaf curling noted. Moved the tent inside to finish. Light height 30cm from #1. This is about max height for the light in the tent with the pulleys; I need to gain a few cm or tuck branches. The main stem appears fine just bent, it should recover fine. Will work on the ScrOG in the next day or so. 16/7/2022 - 76-87F 81F avg. Finally. 70% humidity too high. EC 1820. PH 6.01. 2-3L per plant, run-off good. #1 can likely back to 2.5L. Defoliated 8 leaves/branches on lower 1/3. Dehumidifier added to tent. They seem to be going great in their new space, humidity is now the main focus to dial-in. Continue to defoliate, #2 has started to show signs and #1 is flowering. Continue to monitor light height, and need to raise or ScrOG.

Two plants of the same strain/breeder NL Auto and one is considerably larger. I have used a tote as booster, but the taller plant continues to grows. Photos from 9-7 to 12-7. 1. Is it OK to ScrOG an autoflower in week 6? Should the ScrOG be applied at lights on/lights off. Thanks

Early in the day, set up the scrog net and LST their way the best you can, it will improve your yields doing it right. Avoid stressing them.

Color and overall health appears great on both and the size difference is notable. The main stem on #1 appears healthy. Added some support as the stem is simply bent. Defoliating ~8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of plants per day; there is still much to remove, but trying to go slow. The growth week to week is simply amazing. #1 - 100cm, #2 - 68cm. Considerations for the week. 1. Continue light defoliation, do not want to cause any additional stress. 2. Monitor light height. Kind of out room here! 3. Question when to switch to flower nutrient schedule. 4. Consider ScrOG to help with height difference and keep growth at 30 cm from light per mgf. 5. Odor control is next as we moved inside and tent wall support. 17/7/2022 - 75-81F, 78F avg, 65% humidity. EC 1830. PH 6.03. 2.5L per plant, run-off good. Defoliated 6-8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of plants. Some lower branches need to be removed. Removed pullies and attached the light to the cross beam as #1 is close to the light. Need to work on humidity. 18/7/2022 - 75-81F, 78F avg, 67% humidity. EC 1860. PH 5.94. 2.5-2.75L per plant, run-off good. Defoliated 2 branches, and 6 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of plants. Some of the initial lower branches that were LST were lost under the canopy. Need to work on humidity. Light height OK for now. 19/7/2022 - 75-82F, 78F avg, 69% avg humidity. EC 1430. PH 6.01. Fading Tripart Grow and Micro; increasing Bloom slowly to Flower schedule (1/1.8/2). 3L per plant, run-off good. Defoliated 2 branches on #1, and 6-8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of plants. I can drop the humidity down to 56% with the tent door open and the dehumidifier directly in front of the doors. The smell is not bad at the moment, but will need to close it up in a couple of days. Lowered the fan under the ScrOG, it is not blowing on the pot or top of #2. Light height is going to be a problem for #1. Added a few props to increase height a few cm on #2. Propped up the small dehumidifier on a box to see it makes a difference, otherwise it needs to go and I can then add another small fan to the top of the tent. 20/7/2022 - 76-82F, 78F avg, 63% avg humidity. EC 1440. PH 5.96. Fading Tripart Grow and Micro; increasing Bloom slowly to Flower schedule (1/1.8/2), appears to be tolerating well. 3-4L per plant, run-off good. Defoliated 6-8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of plants. The smell is not bad at the moment, but will need to close it up in a couple of days. Light height is going to be a problem for #1. 21/7/2022 - 77-80F, 64% avg humidity. EC 1490. PH 6.01. Switched over to Flower schedule for nutrients (0.8/1.6/2.4). Had 2.7L of the previous batch and used those first between the two and then the full Flower schedule. Both plants appear to be tolerating the change in nutrients fine over the last two days. Defoliated 4 sm branches and leaves on #1 and 1 large branch on #2. 22/7/2022 - 76-81F, 63% avg humidity. EC 1500. PH 6.02. No issues noted from switching nutrients. Switched to 18/6 hours on light schedule per grow question now that we are not in the attic and heat was an issue. Defoliated 8 sm branches and leaves on both. 23/7/2022 - 76-81F, 61% avg humidity. EC 1400. PH 6.01. 3-4L per plant, drinking a lot. No issues noted from switching nutrient schedule. Defoliated 8-10 sm branches and leaves on both plants. Week 7 is in the books. Plants are around day 52 & 50, slightly off when to start. Growth seems to have slowed on #1 - 126cm, I did bend one branch on #1 as several branches on #1 are 13cm from light (mfg 30cm recommendation). #2 is growing, 100cm. Humidity better controlled, consider adding a fan to the top of the tent for additional circulation. Large humidifier does provide some additional air movement to both plants, and the small humidifier pulls maybe 100ml in 24 hours. Ona blocks should arrive on Tuesday next week, so far smell is fine.

GrowingGrannieanswered grow question 3 years ago
I have settled into a routine with all my autos (and they're all I grow) of starting their nutes off about week 2 or 3 with 1/4 strength grow AND bloom nutes... and increase the doses to 1/2 the next week if they're tolerating them... and so on. With MY nute line, I never get to full strength grow nutes as I find it too strong for my plants... but the bloom nutes are well tolerated and I think it's a good idea to "tell" the plant I'm here to help it... So MY routine is not when to ADD bloom nutes but when to STOP grow nutes - and that occurs about week 4-5. Autos don't like a whole lot of nitrogen in flowering stage and too much nitrogen can lockout calcium which is critical to the flowers... so, since they're already in flower, I would recommend dropping your FloraGro back by half at least and doubling your FloraBloom... Generally, if you're not as weird as I guess I am about things, you should start introducing bloom nutes when the plants go into pre-flower... it just encourages the formation of the buds and gives the plant the calcium and phosphorus needed - and only use calmag IF the plant asks for it (shows either calcium or magnesium deficiency) and then only once a week. Good luck with your grow - it looks really, really good!

Week 8 Color and overall health appears great on both no issues noted with change to flowering nutrients. Switched back over to 18/6 schedule from 12/12 (10/7/2022) now that temperatures are no longer a problem. Defoliating 6-8 leaves per plant per day. Started to super crop #1 due to light height, 30cm is max according to manufacturer. Day 53 & 51 (start days were off, used seedling stage vs sprout). Considerations for the week. 1. Continue light defoliation, do not want to cause any additional stress. 2. Monitor light height. Super crop as needed 1-2 per day. 3. Continue nutrient schedule, consider switch to Ripen in 1-2 weeks. 4. Monitor odor. Ona blocks should arrive Tuesday. 24/7/2022 - 74-82F, 63% humidity. EC 1420. PH 6.01. 3.5-4.5L per plant, run-off good. Defoliated 6-8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of plants. Super cropped 2 branches on #1. ~4-6 to go, will do two a day until canopy is a good height from light. Likely height would not have been an issue if 3 gallon pots were used and/or if I topped. Removed small dehumidifier and added small fan to top of tent for additional air flow. 25/7/2022 - 75-82F, 65% humidity. EC 1520/1420. PH 6.01/5.9. 3.5-4.5L per plant, run-off good. Defoliated 8 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of plant #2. Super cropped (SC) 2 branches on #1. ~6 to go, will do two a day until canopy is a good height from light and then continue to defoliate. Humidity higher as I did not empty the dehumidifier in the early morning. Will remove the height booster on #2 tomorrow as she does not seem to need the height boost. 26/7/2022 - 76-80F, 65% humidity. EC 1430/1520. PH 6.0/6.01. 4-4.5L per plant, run-off good. Defoliated 8-16 leaves/sm branches on lower 1/3 of plants. SC 2 branches on #1. Removed boosters on #2 and adjusted fans. #1 is beginning to get frosty! 27/7/2022 - 77-80F, 61% humidity. EC 1520/1580. PH 6.01/6.03. 4-4.5L per plant run-off good. Defoliated 16-20 leaves branches on #2, and a few on #1. SC 3 branches on #1, and main cola on #2. Noted brown spots on a few leaves closer to the light. 28/7/2022 - 77-82F, 61% humidity. EC 1590/1620. PH 6.01/5.99. Broke the watering into two parts and seems to require less watering, only 2L per plant, with 1800cc run-off total. 18:00 & 07:00 watering schedule. Increased the grow portion of nutrients and will continue add CalMag with each watering. Defoliated 4 branches on #2. Brown spots do not appear on any new locations. Will continue to monitor. 29/7/2022 - 75-81F, 61% humidity. EC 1480/1590. PH 6.0/6.03. 2L per plant in AM/1.5-2L per plant in PM. Run-off good and likely can decrease. No additional brown spots in new locations. Continued defoliation of both plants and removing small branches/buds. Hard to remove bud sites! 30/7/2022 - 74-83F, 60% humidity. EC 1590/1500. PH 6.03/5.99. 2L per plant in AM/1.5-2L per plant in PM. Run-off good and can decrease. Continued defoliation of a few branches and bud sites. Another week is complete! Day 59 & 57. The bud sites are beginning to smell. May need to SC a few additional branches due to height. "Ripen" nutrients should arrive next week and if there is no stress will switch over mid-late week. Brown spots were likely due CalMag deficiency vs K+, but will monitor and no additional areas noted. https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-symptoms-pictures is a great resource for diagnosis of issues.

Brown spots on a few leaves close to the light that had yet to be super cropped to control height. Not noted on lower leaves. Temps/humidity OK, no changes in nutrients. Thinking this could be from being too close to the lights, but would appreciate some expert feedback. Thanks!

Looks to me like the start of a potassium deficiency. If it started on the lower canopy then calcium( which your not adding any cal-mag. Usually required unless you have really hard tap water. ) I rant into the same with my first grow doing a 1 grow :2 micro :3 bloom ratio for flower with general hydroponics. when it should be more like a 2:2:3(grow,micro,bloom) the Gro has a lot of potassium in it and most nitrogen comes from the micro. Stick with the feed chart for your ratio https://generalhydroponics.com/resources/flora-series-feedcharts/

Week 10 Color and overall health appears great; flowers are getting frosty and fat. Thinking another 2-3 weeks based on other diaries photos and harvest dates. Will practice some trichome pictures with the digital microscope this week. Height is over 130cm, difficult to measure. Day 67 & 65 (start days were off, used seedling stage vs sprout). Considerations for the week. 1. Continue light defoliation if needed. 2. Monitor light height & super crop #2 if needed. 3. Consider switch to Final Part this week. 4. Monitor odor.

Split the feeds today with Final Part in AM and regular in PM. Trying to go easy. Will switch over tomorrow. 13/8/2022 - 73-78F, 59% humidity. EC 1460/1480 PH 5.98/5.97. 2L per plant AM, 1.75-1.5L PM run-off good. Week 10 is complete and the plants are looking great. Pistils are turning brown and trichomes mostly cloudy with a few clear. Hoping to get them across the finish line soon!

Color and overall health appears great; flowers are getting frosty and continue to fatten, pistils turning brown. Started Terra Aquatica’s “Final Part” (13-8-2022) based on other diaries photos and harvest dates with a plan to go 10-14 days plus a flush of a few days. Continue to practice trichome pictures with the digital microscope. Height is over 130cm, difficult to measure, one cola on #2 in the back of the tent is above the light! #2 is slow to fatten up, but pistils are turning brown. Day 74 & 72 (start days were off, used seedling stage vs sprout). Considerations for the week. 1. Continue light defoliation. 2. Monitor light height & super crop #2 if needed. 3. Monitor odor. Ona block placed in home, may need to open one for hallway. 4. Monitor trichomes, mostly cloudy, some clear, no amber. 14/8/2022 - 74-78F, 59% humidity. EC 1480.

Trichomes mostly cloudy some clear on more mature buds for #1, will check #2. 20/8/2022 - 73-79F, 59% humidity. EC 1420/1420. PH 6.0. 3-2.5L AM, 2L PM, run-off good. Over-watered in an attempt to flush. Trichomes cloudy with some clear on #2. Another week complete and they are still chugging along, pistils continue shifting to brown, hoping the buds continue to ripen and fatten. Plan to continue Final Part next week followed by a flush.

Week 12 Color and overall health appears great; flowers are frosty and pistils slowly turning brown. The buds do not seem to be gaining much weight. Started Terra Aquatica’s “Final Part” (13-8-2022) with a plan to go 14 days plus a flush of a few days. Considerations for the week. 1. Continue light defoliation, and cola supports as needed. 3. Second Ona block placed in hallway. Odor control much better. 4. Monitor trichomes, mostly cloudy, some clear, no amber. 5. Flush at end of the week (27-8-2022) with FlashClean, followed by PH’ed H2O for a few days. 21/8/2022 - 72-78F, 59% humidity. EC 1420. PH 5.87/5.89. 2-2.5L per plant AM, 1.5-1.75L PM, run-off very good, will be able to decrease volume of feeds. 22/8/2022 - 73-79F, 59% humidity. EC 1420. PH 6.0. 2L per plant AM, 1.5L PM, run-off good. Pictures of trichomes are likely from #1. 23/8/2022 - 73-78F, 58% humidity. EC 1420/1400 PH 6.0. 3.5-4L PM, run-off good. Missed the AM feed, will get back on schedule tomorrow. 24/8/2022 - 72-77F, 58% humidity. EC 1400/1400. PH 6.0. 2L per plant AM, 1.5L PM, run-off good. Looking back over the photos the buds do appear to be getting larger. Question if they will get much larger? Pistils continue to ripen and trichomes mostly cloudy. The buds on 2 look like they will be popcorn buds, lots of small buds everywhere. 25/8/2022 - 72-78, 58% humidity. EC 1400/1440. PH 6.0. 2.5-2L AM, 1.5-1L PM, run-off good. Tomorrow's feeding will be the completion of 14 days of "Final Part". Pictures of trichomes from both 1 & 2. 26/8/2022 - 72-78F, 58% humidity. EC 1420. PH 6.0. 2L AM, 2L PM, run-off good. Final feeding tonight tomorrow the flush begins with FlashClean, followed by PH H2o for a few days/week. 27/8/2022 - 72-78F, 58%. FlashClean PH 6.0. 3L AM, 1-1.5L PM, run-off good. Another week passes and the hope for a successful harvest/dry/cure next week. Leaves continue to fade to yellow. Appreciate all of the support along the way.

Week 13 Color and overall health appears great; flowers are frosty, pistils mostly brown. Started Terra Aquatica’s “FlashClean” (27-8-2022) for two days plus a flush of PH H2O for a few days then harvest. Plan to trim fan leaves, larger sugar leaves and hang branches, assuming I get the SCrog untangled. Would like to dry for seven days, with a four-week cure in jars. It has been a great journey and learning experience. Amazed at how well they have done and I was able to take them to the end. With the high temperatures in the attic, I am surprised by the NL’s resilience, it is one tough strain. Day 88 & 86 Considerations for the final week. 1. When to harvest – Thursday/Friday? 2. Monitor trichomes, mostly cloudy, some clear, no amber. 3. Remove fan leaves as needed. 28/8/2022 - 72-77F, 58% humidity. FlashClean Day 2, PH 6.0, 1-1.5L AM, 2-2.5L PM, run-off good. Fan leaves continue to fade. 29/8/2022 - 72-77F, 58% humidity. H2o PH 6.05, 2.5L AM, 1L PM, run-off good. Fan leaves continue to fade. 30/8/2022 - 72-77F, 58% humidity. H2o PH 6.05, 2L AM, 1L PM, run-off good. Fan leaves continue to fade. 31/8/2022 - 72-77F, 58% humidity. H2o PH 6.05, 2L AM, 1L PM, run-off good. Trimmed a few crusty leaves. The smell is amazing! 01/9/2022 - 72-77F, 57% humidity. H2o PH 6.05, 2-3L PM, run-off good. Smells continue to impress, both are frosty. Amber noted on 2 and occasional on 1? 1 seems stuck on cloudy, but time is running out. Likely one more day and chop. **Two buds on 2 that are closest to the light appear burnt. I do not believe the discolorations to be bud rot; the buds are popcorn and airy, both colas have good spacing, the sugar leaves do not easily pull out, and a fan blows right down the center so good air flow. Will monitor. 02/9/2022 - 72-72F, 58% humidity. H2o PH 6.05, 2-3L PM, run-off good.

Final totals 290g trimmed buds; 138g trim & small buds; amazing! Smells are pleasant, buds are frosty, sticky with several nice nuggets from 1; 2 had mostly small "b" buds. It all looks so good! Waiting to cure for final taste.. Notes on harvesting/drying below: 3-9-2022 - Buds are crazy sticky, frosty and surprisingly seem dense. Untangled the ScrOG, wet trim of fan leaves and few other leaves then used the ScrOG net for the branches took around 3 hours. Smells are great, a woody, sweet with a hint of pine. Initial impression is wow! Day 94 & 92. 04-9-2022 - 71.2F Avg, 58.7% humidity. One fan at the top of the tent, one at the floor and the exhaust running full speed. Loose buds flipped in cardboard box x2. Dehumidifier set up in enclosed room set to 50%. (Day 1) 05-9-2022 - 71.7F Avg, 57.3% humidity. (Day 2) 06-9-2022 - 71.8F Avg, 56.2% humidity. Initial check of loose buds and a few buds on branches were still moist, will need a few more days. (Day 3) 07-9-2022 - 71.9F Avg, 54.7% humidity. (Day 4) 08-9-2022 - 71.9F Avg, 54% humidity. Plant 2 stems bend so not quite ready. Approximating the number of days to dry, by 1+day for each 10% in RH, then add 1-2 days (5+2). As the buds are small, will check again tomorrow. (Day 5) 09-9-2022 - 71.0F Avg, 54% humidity. Plant 2 stem bends. (Day 6) 10-9-2022 - 71.0F Avg, 54% humidity. TRIM JAIL!!! Worked on #2 today for four hours. Buds are small, smell great, sticky, frosty, not photo worthy. 11-9-2022 - 71.0F Avg, 54% humidity. Wow.....all day trimming and clean-up. Totals are unreal, again they smell great, sticky, frosty, not photo worthy. Plant 2 yield - 97g trimmed; 68g of trim, small buds and the buds that were too close to the light. Plant 1 yield - 193g trimmed; 70g trim with small buds. Final totals 97+193=290g trimmed buds; 68+70=138g trim (future edibles);
