Northern Lights Auto - Royal Queen Seeds

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.
