Day 1: All seeds have sprouted! Once everyone gets a little bit bigger I will be moving them into 3 gal. pots, soiless mix with perlite, and Gaia Greens organic fertilizers mixed in.
Week 2: Nothing negative has happened to any plants after transplanting to their final pots.
Trying to find a solution to my humidity being low. 1 fan on goes to 68% 2 fans on drops to 37%.
Update: I think I have figured out the humidity issue, when I check this morning i have 40%+.
Yes , GD is undergoing an update they are under maintenance it should return back to normal shortly :) This is why you cant upload anything and the search tabs show up 0 , but rest assured everything is ok and it will be back up soon :) -Happy Growing!
Day 15: I have started training the outer plants as the tent is not that tall, and the spread of the light cannot reach the tops of the plants very well if they get too tall. Feeling a lot more confident about this grow and more excited than compared to my first grow.
Day 18: Inside node growth from the LST is awesome, really glad I gave low strength training a try this time around.
Day 21: I think that the LST has opened up the lower growth to start some new branches, and worked well. Excited to head into week 4, from my past grow week 4 is where I saw some of the most dramatic change.
I really thought that these seeds being a gift with another purchase wouldn't hold up against the Dinafem White Widows XXL, but they are keeping up every step of the way.
Day 22: I think days 19-21 I was starting to over water. I have taken a day off and things are looking better.
Day 28: Both Northern Lights plants are showing signs of pre-flower, really exciting day until my OPTICLED 2 broke. Only had the light since August so I am weighing out pros and cons of fixing it myself, warrantying ( paying for shipping), or buying something new.
Being gift seeds with another purchase I did not expect them to be keeping up with the Auto Dinafem White Widow XXL that are also in the tent, but I that these will end up just as good, and timing about the same.
Day 29: LED parts are on the mail. Both plants showing early signs of preflower.
Day 30: Moved entire tent to top floor, now lights off temps sit around 70, and lights on around 75. Humidity is not high 40%- low 50%
Day 31: both NL plants are not far behind in showing signs of flower compared the the center WW plant. Super happy with the new light I got from Rapid LED, would recommend to anyone in the future.
Day 34: Top dressed with Gaia Green dry amendments (1 tbps 4-4-4, 2 tbps 2-8-4, half the recommended does on container), added a bit more soil-less hydro mix, and did a big watering.
Day 35: Added a new small room heater, and a thermostat with a probe, light on temps are now steady 75 and lights off are high 65-70
Day 36: Watered with unsulphured molasses, and new heater and room are holding temperature very well.
Day 37,38,39: Seems like grow is on cruise control for the week.
Day 42: Finishing off the week with everything looking really happy in the tent
Day 43: Jewelers loop came in the mail.
Day 45: Big watering with unsulphured molasses, everyone is looking really happy and some leaves have started reach upwards to the lights.
Day 52: Watered with molasses, also thinking about amendments again because after reading info again, I actually only did half a dose last time
Day 57: Tallest Northern Lights showing bright green leaves, so I have re-amended the soil with Power Bloom
Day 58: Buds are starting to put on some size now, really excited to see what the tallest plant main stem is going to turn out like. Hoping to see no more progress in colour fading from leaves after re-amending the soil end of last week.
Day 60-62: Whatever deficiency the plants have I think on my next run I can fix with Kelp Meal from Gaia Green, also going 100% coco coir and more perlite added in because everything things very stuck together and hard to even dig in to see if things are wet. I think adding in the peat moss may have made things to acidic and locked the plants out of certain nutes, but I am not 100% certain. I don't know anyone with a PH meter to borrow, so I will have to get the solution to re-calibrate mine and test the run off.
Day 63: Northern Lights seem to be holding up much better than, and more resistant to deficiencies that the White Widows. Added calmag into watering this week, hoping it will help with brown spots on leaves.
Day 68: Re amended the soil with Bloom, 2 TBSP/gal ( not teaspoons like I did the second time like a tool).... sabotaged myself. Northern Lights seem more resilient to my mistake than the White Widows though.
Day 70: Humidity is on the low side, but dont have the money to invest in a humidifier. Northern Lights seem to be very resilient compared to their tent mates, much less fading out. The delay in fading out seems promising for packing on some size.
Sunwest Genetics, grew really well. I've told the company they should reach out over a year ago to be put on the breeder list, but dont think they have. I would order from them again.
Disappointing to see that the light failed. I just added one to my grow; however, I'm skeptical because I've heard a lot of bad reviews and the warranty is garbage. Hope it works through my grow and doesn't break. :) Goodluck
