Northern Lights Auto - Royal Queen Seeds

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.
