Very good I would say but first time autos so don't really know what to expect I do not feed the plants at all besides watering them with water from fish thanks. Made some live soil and added horse manure, homemade bone meal from fish bones, compost from vegetable scraps and black soldier fly frass. I do not use chemicals on any of my grows

Growing well, going to change them location for more hours of direct sunlight. At 9h per day now and new spot will be around 11h+. Did the lst as early as I could as an experiment to see how they would react to it (day 10 NL & 11 W) and also took out the leaves that were blocking the new growth I do not feed the plants at all besides watering them with water from fish thanks.

Everything going well this week, they started to pick up speed and bushing out a little specially the watermelon. They started to show sex very early day 15 NL and day 16 W. They are still quite small and not sure how much bigger they will get from this point on I do not feed the plants at all besides watering them with water from fish thanks.

Not sure this is still called veg because I'm getting white pistils but no buds yet and they are still growing. The plants are still bushing out, won't top them because I'm afraid that might trigger flowering. They look very healthy still, the NL is still very small compared to the watermelon. Still doing lst on a daily basis. I do not feed the plants at all besides watering them with water from fish thanks.

They are growing like they are in veg. Still getting new growth. Bud sites are more and more defined from top to bottom. Not sure how big they will get but I'm guessing not much more.

Started to stretch up which is nice, slowly filling up the 10 gallon pot. Starting to smell a little. It got bigger then I expected and I think the training prolonged the growth. I also pinched some of the branches and I have some nice knots on there. I'll be pruning early into week 6 I do not feed the plants at all besides watering them with water from fish thanks.

Flowering has settled in, the growth has slowed down significantly. The plants look healthy and are starting to smell a little. The northern light is looking frosty. I turned the pots 180 so the back facing side of the plant can be in front I do not feed the plants at all besides watering them with water from fish thanks.

Not much happening now, the buds are just getting fatter. I'm guessing another 5 to 6 weeks to go. I do not feed the plants at all besides watering them with water from fish thanks.

Still cruising, the smell is pretty strong now on both plants. The buds are starting to put on some weight. Might check the trichomes at the end of this week I do not feed the plants at all besides watering them with water from fish tanks.

I have some amber on the watermelon, the northern light is milky from top to bottom but no amber yet The smell is pretty strong I do not feed the plants at all besides watering them with water from fish tanks.

Everything is back on track, the leaves are starting to turn purple on the northern light and very little on the watermelon . I'll be checking the trichomes this week and hopefully be able to harvest at the end of the week. I do not feed the plants at all besides watering them with water from fish tanks.

Really easy grow, didn't get very big because of very early preflower. Very frosty and very nice smell, the buds didn't come out very dense Had some issues towards the end with some black aphids but managed to keep them under control with some water/vinegar mix Exceeded my expectations, the buds aren't the most dense but the trichome production on it is pretty amazing. Buds are very sticky to the touch and the smell is super. I will probably grow northern light again but next time it will be feminized photos and not autos.
