10-5-2022 Autos

Solid week of progress. Having everyone sprout and look healthy was a nice surprise. (6/8 completely healthy, 2 of them slight overwatering but they have recovered. Minor stunting on them but nothing too significant.) The Northern Lights Auto is actually a Photo Fem that puts out white pistils but never bulks unless 12-12 (tested it last grow and now I can confirm under 18/6 it is revegging). I guess It'll also be an unofficial part of this grow. I've seen this particular cultivar (seeds harvested by the company that year) seem to have this tendency -- dunno why. I would bring it up to the grower/seed-distributor but I figure they've already gotten plenty of comments back about it. Documenting it here in case anyone ever deals with an autoflower that actually ends up being a photoperiod. Ideally in the next week or two I should start LST my plants (prob when I see 3 or 4 leaf sets) in an effort to increase surface area and increase bud production towards flowering. Gonna try experimenting with how close I can get my lights (sorta ruined by having the tall Northern Lights plant already but oh well). Just goes to show when growing you need to be ready to adapt and be flexible to your plants' needs.
