There were a few short power cuts in week 2. For some reason, the temperature in the cupboard rose sharply a couple of times. Northern Lights gave out a couple of mutations in the form of spliced leaves - the plant decided it was a maple, while also starting to smell sharply as if flowering was coming very soon.
Hello. Could this leaf mutation in Northern Light Automatic (RQS) be dangerous to the plants? What could it be caused by? Could this be caused by too much light for the sprout and the Top Crop Green Explosion fertiliser? The leaves grew very strong in a few days after fusion.
Okay.
Autos are more prone to mutations, cause of what's in them. Ruderails. (Its what makes them an auto, flips them for you)
This, is not normal. So, in reality. An auto is just 1 big mutated plant.
At times, it'll throw a tantrum. Might give off a funny leaf here or there. Or in my case my whole plant changed its pigment and was like a leopard with spots. Looked awful. But she's thriving.
In my short stint of growing. I've had many mutos from autos & fems, it isn't just restricted to autos. Sometimes, things in life, change, something miss fires. Happens in all living things. In no way, does that mean, there's anything wrong. It's life. And if we all had to worry about a little muto bud. There'd be a whole f..k load of lovely ladies sitting in bins (talking about plants now, lol)..
So, you just an overworried parent jumping to something that just needs to be overlooked as she'll pull herself thru it. So, no to your answer.
Just, be mindful. Mutos in plants need to me montored more closely for nanners hernies and so on. But, in even saying that. I've had many mutos and none have thrown out any of them, just keep an eye on her, as you have been. Just, relax a little. The fun hasn't even stared yet pal.
Feel free to DM me buddy. Or another grower on here. Find someone you can trust. Some1 who has a good few grows and isn't researching every little thing, but from their experience. And your own experience will take hold after 1 or 2 more grows.
Its a journey,, and a lot more will be thrown in your face. And you'll c your girls suffer and panic. Don't, shit happens.
Good luck buddy.
25/10 - Decided to raise the lamp to 50 cm, perhaps the mutations in NL were caused by the light + top crop. The plants grew a few centimetres in a couple of days and turned very green.
