Northern Lights Auto Seedsman

Some really nice buds stacking now on #1 and #2. Both have some discolored leaves still but seem to be improved over the past few weeks. Dialing the light back with the proper DLI has seemed to help. Was running 31K lux = 770 umol @ 18 hrs so the DLI was too high at about 50 during this period of flower it seems. Now it has been turned down to 21k lux = 539.48 umol @ 18 hrs so the DLI is now 34.96 which seems more appropriate at this stage. This may be incorrect but have read that during late flower, a DLI between 25-40 is optimal. Would like to get the humidity down around 35-40% but even with the dehumidifier running it still stays around 45%-50% since the room is so large and its rather humid in this environment. This should be a lot easier to manage during the next run once the grow room is complete. Defoliated majority of the larger fan leaves that had discoloration and or were lower on the plant not contributing much. Alternating watering with the 1 TBL each of Blackstrap Molasses and Fish Hydrolysate per gallon and plain water every other watering. Buds are getting really frosty and have a nice color to them. The hairs all around are starting to really show that reddish amber color and trichomes are really forming nicely. Have been monitoring with the scope to check the trichome colors. #1 has more milky colored ones and just observed a couple amber colored smaller trichomes (could be either bulbous or capitate sessile trichomes) but the stalked trichomes are still milky or clear. #2 has clear and milky trichomes and no amber colored ones have been observed yet. Will keep monitoring this to see when to harvest. #1 and #2 both have healthy nice frosty looking buds but the plants and buds look entirely different despite supposedly being the same strain. Given that #3 wasn't an auto at all I am wondering if all 3 are different strains now. All 3 were started from the same unopened seed pack, the same day, same soil mix, same watering/feed schedule and all have produced different results. #1 has produced smaller buds, smaller leaves and has taken a much lighter color. Was pretty yellow at one point now has mostly a lime greenish hue with some purpling. The buds on #1 resemble the overall color and have a lighter shade green with more of a fluffy structure to them it appears. #2 has been darker green and much more dense. The purple hues have really come out in most spots and the buds seem thicker and have a different shade to them. The differences could all be due to different issues or deficiencies encountered but interesting since they were both essentially grown in the exact same environment on the same feed/water schedule. No disappointment or anything, just an observation that was made note of. This after all has not been the ideal environment throughout the cycle for these plants which has attributed to suboptimal health. Nonetheless, happy with the results so far. #3 was getting too tall so it got topped and then the taller surrounding tops got supercropped/bent. Cleaned up more of the lower leaves/branches so it is looking nice and clean at the base now with good airflow. Took a few clones off her too which can hopefully flowered and finished to see what kind of flower it produces since it was obviously not an auto like the other 2. Might flower out #3 as is but since it has vegged for so long and gotten too big for the 5 gal bucket, its a worry that the plant will run into issues during flower so may be best to just root a clone, veg for a few weeks then flower out. If any good, could keep the #3 as a mother. Here's some up close bud shots!
