So I changed the light hours from 24 to 18/6. I also turnt up the light to 25%. I'm try and get to 60% soon. They are growing a good pace along with the other cultivars in the tent. I love the mars hydro fc-e4800 Still only giving them ph'd H²0 Ph 6.3-6.5 I will probably feed them some FOOP when I feel they need it. Excited to see these flower. Still don't know what tek I'll use to train them. Probably top one or both. Or just LST. Idk. Turn on, tune in, & drop out

Started some LST on them on 2nd wk. This is 1st day of 3rd week. I uppoted my other plants. They are strains I've made. 4x apple cider kush (Apple fritter x X18 cider kush) 9x Tatooine donut ((Layer cake x chocolate nightmare) x Jawa pie) The northern lights autos are readjusting from the LST. I raised the light inch or 2. It's at about 30%. The mars hydro fc-e4800. Great light. Bluetooth and has an app to control the lights. I watered them with mikrobs & lacto & Epson salt. Beside that it's water only for now. There is dr.earth 4-6-3 in the soil.

So I am still doing a little LST but I think I'm done with that for now. I removed a couple leaves on each that was just in the way. The front on is growing better/bigger than the other one. I do see pistils on the bigger one. We are at 4wks and 2 days and I hope they still veg out a little more. I also hope they stretch to the moon. They had dr.earth in the soil when I potted them. I assume it's probably all used up so I started using the FOOP line up. Veg1&2 + a sweetener. I'm almost out of sweetener because last grow. I used most the bloom too. I usually don't need to feed in veg so I end up with extra veg nutrients and use the flower nutrients. I always amended my soil because I have been reusing it for 3years or more. All the other plants in the tent are my crosses. Apple cider kush (Apple fritter x X18 cider kush) & Tatooine donut (Layer cake/ chocolate nightmare x Jawa pie) They all got topped and defoliated top fans. Stay tuned to see them all grow. Thx growmies

So everything is cruising along. They look like they are stretching and starting to flower. I just gave them their last veg feeding. Foop wk 5 veg schedule beside I didn't use sweetener, I used some cucumber/ kale ferment and some lacto. They look like I may have overwatered and under fed. They need some flower nutrients. Build the flowers the right way. The mars hydro fc-e4800 is about 12in away and about 50% power.

So far everything is okay. They needed nutrients sooner than I have then. All the photo plants needed uppotted. They were showing signs of zinc/mag Def. I started using the mars hydro UR45 for a couple hours a day. Trying to just keep them healthy. The tall one is closest to the light and I tried some super cropping or is it monster cropping. I forget . I just bent the tips down some . Raised light a little. Started feeding Foop flower nutrients. They seem a little stressed and light yellowish. This hasn't been a perfect grow for me.

So far these had a rough spot here and there. I under fed them and had issues do to that. They are only in 3gal fabric pots. They have been getting thirsty. I fed with week 2 or 3 flower schedule with FOOP. trying to correct my issue. All my photos are having issues as well because I didn't uppot soon enough. Lesson learned. Stay tuned to see how they turn out .

So everything in the tent looked stressed. I raised the light and turned it up to 65%. I've been feeding them foop every other time. They are drinking water faster than all the plants in veg. They almost need watered every day. Hopefully everything will turn out good In the end.

Ok so we have issues. Big issues. The little one isn't affected like the taller one. I think I over fed her to many times. I'm only giving water for a few times and see if that helps. The leaves are already to far gone I don't think they will change back to a healthier look . Idk. You win some you lose some. Some times i feel like a straight up newbie.

These got a little messed up. I had alot going on and didn't focus on these. The one has damage leaves everywhere. The little one is doing better health wise. I've over fed them and under fed them at time. I screwed these up.

Okay well I screwed up this auto grow. They was underfed, overfeeding, light stress and at times heat stress. I put 4 more auto to water last night. 2x cherry alien auto & 2x stardawg auto Hopefully I can do better next time with a little more TLC. I've been going out of state on the weekends so it's hard to deal with these. I have to over water before I leave so they aren't bone dry whe I get home. Also the Dehumidifier fills up in one day and I'll be gone Friday-sunday night. Hopefully they're be no issues.

Harvest overall wasn't the best. The bud isn't the best either. I don't think I'll grow this again. I gave the last seed away as a freebie.
