Northern Lights automatic..My first grow

03.09. 2023 05:00 - The last girl stepped into the light. 😁 03.09. 2023 13:00 - Helped two flowers free themselves from the shelter. 03.09. 2023 13:30 - Temperature problem - High temperature in the flower area is 30°C - problem solved by raising the light to 45cm and lowering the fan. Now we are about 26°C. 04.09. 2023: 21:15 - Lowering the lights to 40cm. Monitoring the temperature constantly. 👌 05.09. 2023: 16:30 - The temperature has risen to 28 °C again so I raised the light to 45 cm I think that will be best. I continue to monitor the temperature. I'm aiming for a constant 26°C. 06:09. 2023 21:00 - I was dealing with a high temperature and low humidity problem due to a malfunctioning humidifier. The daily humidity dropped to 50% and the temperature to 30°C. There was leaf curling on some plants. I raised the light to 50cm. I have 4 days off work to better monitor plant behaviour and climate control and respond to high outside temperatures. I hope to find the optimum hanging height of the light in the next few days. 07.09. 2023 06:00 - Increased the amount of water for watering to 500ml/plant for better irrigation of the entire pot area. 08.09. 2023 15:00 - I have stopped using demi water I have come to the conclusion that it is probably unnecessary. I have a good quality water source EC = 220ppm yet I will observe if there is any deterioration in health. 08.09. 2023 16:00 - Replacement of flowerpot positions. 09.09. 2023 18:00 - One of the girls doesn't look too healthy 😰... it seems that too intense light doesn't do her good I tried to move her bite further away from the source but it seems that her growth is considerably slowed down. The others seem to have recovered very well from the stress of the high temperature and intense light... a mistake I made a few days ago. I'm pleased they look really great! 😍 10.09. 2023 08:00 - Have a nice sunday morning. Girls look happy and strong (except one - shaking sweeties girl). I only watered them and raised the light. (the girls are taller). 10.09. 2023 20:00 - My mobile phone rear camera broke I have to use the front camera. 👿 10.09. 2023 20:45 - The 1st week is almost done. The girls look healthy. We'll start adding nutrition tomorrow. I plan to start with 12.5% (1/8) of the recommended dose by the manufacturer Advanced Nutrients.

11.9. 2023 18:00 - 2nd week begun. Time to start adding nutrients, I have to be careful though I really don't like to burn them and the automatic strains don't need that much. I chose 12.5% (1/8) of the manufacturer's recommended dose and we'll see what happens. I will check the plants carefully every day and watch for signs of excess/lack of nutrients. 11.9. 2023 18:25 - I used photo from the front camera. 12.9. 2023 21:15 - I got the camera from my sister 😇 14.9.2023 20:00 - I wanted to adjust the height of the pot so that it would not interfere with the leaves, but in the process I accidentally damaged two leaves. 😭So I turned the damaged leaves further away from the light I hope the girls will recover. I'll have to be much more careful next time. 😔But you learn by making mistakes. So I keep on growing. 15.9 2023 21:15 - So I checked on the ladies and I smelled a very intense scent 😋 15.9 2023 21:20 - I raised up the light, the girls are growing like water. 😍 16.9. 2023 19:00 - When I opened the tent, I smelled the intensive smell. 17.9. 2023 9:00 - Defolation of the lower leaves that no longer get much light. 17.9. 2023 9:30 - I've added new substrate to the edge of the pot. 17.9. 2023 10:00 - I cleaned up the grow room.

18.9. 2023 7:30 - I decided (after I added the substrate yesterday) to do the watering with pure water only I added Voodoo Juice 2ml/l. Substrate watering 2l water/plant. 18.9. 2023 8:00 - I have fixed the hanging height of the light due to the plant heights I keep a distance of 45cm. 19:9. 2023 18:30 - I checked health status. Suspected mini calcium deficit. 19.9. 2023 19:00 - I did the watering. I increased the amount of fertilizer to 25% (manufacturer's dosage) and its amount to 1000ml/plant 20.9. 2023 06:00 - I saw the first signs of blooming on the Speedy Rocket 😍. 21.9. 2023 09:30 - Today I cleaned the growing tent and again used defoliation to remove the lower leaves which are covered by the upper leaves anyway. 21.9. 2023 10:00 - All RQS have started to bloom. I will now keep a close eye on the 420FastBuds genetics. 22.9. 2023 8:00 - OK All Fast Buds have started bloom as well 😍 22.9. 2023 9:30 - I finished another defoliation so that the girls have more space for each other and don't shade each other so much and at the same time don't shade the flowers. I've defoliated one girl a bit more than the others and I'll see if it hurts her. I bent a few branches with bending clips to give them more light. 23.9. 2023 7:00 - Checked health status. All looks good imo. 😎 23.9. 2023 8:00 - Watering this week always as needed between 400 - 1000ml I am trying to recognize the weight of the pot and water accordingly I think I am improving. 😊

25.9. 2023 8:00 - Health check .. everything looks ok except that the flowers are breaking the tent and a few leaves are pushing against the walls but I think it will not be such a problem we will see. 25.9. 2023 8:30 - I added bud candy to the water for this week. 26.9. 2023 6:00 - Keep on growing. 29.9. 2023 8:00 - Plant flushing 900ml/plant. EC - 203ppm. 30.9. 2023 5:30 - Poor watering detected. It is necessary to increase the volume of watering and water the flowers properly I have a good drainage to drain excess water so I will not be so afraid to water the flowers properly I think 3000ml/plant might be enough. 30.9. 2023 7:30 - I don't think I used enough water for flushing yesterday, I would like the water to flow all the way to the bottom of the pot. Let's try again. 2000ml/plant. 30.9. 2023 7:45 - Great.. water flowed all the way to the bottom. 1.10. 2023 6:00 - The flower seems to have recovered from the bad watering I believe I reacted just in time.I need to focus more on watering and try to take an individual approach to each flower.

2.10. 2023 4:00 - I will definitely increase the watering volume for this week and will check the weight of the pot and water the moment the first cm of substrate dries out. I have to be patient. I'm thinking about 2000ml/plant - 3000ml/plant... we'll see. 2.10. 2023 6:00 - Second week of flowering. RQS has already started flowering in full. 420Fast buds has a bit longer start but we will wait and see what happens. 2.10. 2023 8:00 - The double flush last week deprived the substrate of nutrients unfortunately for a bad attempt at flushing and its second repetition is probably due to a calcium deficiency which has manifested itself on some leaves with brown spots. after studying the internet I am convinced that it is this calcium problem. But don't panic. I will increase the dose in the next waterings. 2.10. 2023 5:00 - Except for a few leaves (damaged by calcium deficiency) the flowers look healthy and vigorous. 420fastbuds has accelerated its growth in height very rapidly. 3.10. 2023 10:00 - No need to water today. I carefully check the moisture level all day long. 4.10. 2023 5:00 - I decided to water only 5 of the 6 flowers, the smallest of them still has enough water in the pot in my opinion. 2500ml/plant. EC - 813ppm. 4.10. 2023 20:00 - WTF? 420fast buds almost reached RQS in size in two days. 5.10 2023 8:00 - The roots have reached the top of the substrate and are clearly visible, I have to fill in the pot a little to cover the root system. 5.10 2023 8:10 - I'll prepare a half-rate of nutrients since I've added pre-fertilized substrate. 5.10. 2023 8:15 - It seems that the flowers have drunk yesterday's watering even though there is still water left in the pots I will water today as the top centimeter of the substrate is completely dry I would like to reach the water flow to the bottom. 3000ml/plant. 5.10 2023 8:30 - I have removed a few of the lower weak and yellow leaves that no longer get light.´ 5.10. 2023 13:30 - The flowering looks beautiful. 6.10. 2023 6:30 - great 420fastbuds are now higher than RQS.

9.10. 2023 5:30 - OK another week is here and it's time to start a full dose of nutrient but as I'm using tap water it will need a bit of balancing. so I don't exceed 1200ppm. 10.10. 2023 6:00 -Two of the girls from fast buds genetics have rapidly accelerated their growth will see whats gonna happen. 11.10. 2023 5:00 - I continue to water according to the weight of the pot every morning 3000ml/plant. Usually 1-2 flowers need to be watered. 12.10. 2023 5:30 - Incredible. 2 flowers from fast buds genetics have started to grow very fast with such a soon to outgrow tent. i have to lift the wall every day soon i will be at maximum 13.10. 2023 04:30 - Friday the 13th hopefully everything will be ok today :) 13.10. 2023 05:00 - So I can't place the light any higher yet it doesn't seem to be enough the tops of the plants have stopped about 10cm from the light I hope they won't grow any further but growth seems to have stopped. Unbelievable that they managed to increase their height by about 50cm in a few days I have never seen this before. Amazing experience. 15.10. 2023 04:30 - the root system is already visible from the top of the pot, I'll fill it in a bit. 15.10. 2023 8:00 - It is high time to remove some of the lower and upper leaves so that they do not shade, but I will be careful not to stress the flowers too much. 15.10. 2023 8:30 - the flowers are terribly uneven and the other 4 stayed too far from the light. I'll have to think of something.

16. 10. 2023 4:30 ok another week... slowly coming to the more advanced flowering stage. 17. 10. 2023 5:30 - I numbered the flowers 1 - 6 and I need to start writing in my personal diary which flowers are watered which day. 18.10. 2023 04:45 - 2/3 of the fast buds of the genetics are growing very fast I will try to increase the lamp to the maximum and the other flowers I will put underneath to make them all flat. 18.10. 2023 5:30 - I lined four flowers to make them the same height. 19.10. 2023 4:00 - It seems to me that one of the genetics fast buds does not continue to bloom unlike the others still growing. strange I had not noticed this before. 19.10. 2023 4:45 - I've installed a new thermometer from air comfort so we'll see how it works. 20.10. 2023 4:30 - I can't keep the climate I need. I'll be better prepared for the next cycle. 21.10. 2023 6:15 - the Buds are growing at a very fast pace especially on the speedy rocket great pleasure to watch it every day 😍 21.10. 2023 7:00 - I've decided to strip the tallest flowers of their leaves, they seem to have too many 22.10 2023 8:00 - another week behind us and we are slowly approaching the finals I am looking forward to it!

23.10. 2023 4:00 - Week 8 began. at RQS everything looks good now just don't mess up the ending. 23.10. 2023 4:30 - Again flush the medium a little with pure water. All the flowers one by one this week. 24.10. 2023 5:00 - one of the fast buds genetics that still hasn't bloomed got burned on the top of my lamp. It just keeps growing and growing and I'll have to bend it and see how it does. 24.10. 2023 5:30 - the flower is bent, I'll crop the burnt top a bit more. 25.10. 2023 4:30 - no need to water today 25.10. 2023 20:00 - all but one look very promising. Probably the last week of fertilization and then we will focus on flush flowers before harvesting RQS. 420 fast buds will definitely ripen slower. 26.10. 2023 19:30 I've started watching the trichomes on RQS genetics and they're beautifully clear at the moment. Expected maturation time for RQS is week 8 - 10 so we will see. 27.10. 2023 04:00 In the grow shop they told me that the advanced nutrients brand is moving under the Terra Power brand so I will slowly switch to this brand but I still have stocks of advanced nutrients so I need to replenish them all first. I was also told that the original nutrient formula is the same. So from now on I will be using a combination of Advanced Nutrients and Terra power for some time. 29.10. 2023 6:30 - I had to remove one of the 420 flowers from the tent as it is extremely overgrown and still not in full bloom. I don't really understand it but I'm not going to get rid of it and keep it as a houseplant and see what happens next. The other flowers will at least have more light. 29.10. 2023 7:00 - I'll swap the positions of the flowers now that we have more space.

30.10. 2023 5:00 - OK, slowly but surely as we approach the end it is certain that RQS genetics will be more quickly maturing. I'm not entirely sure but according to the diary, harvest should occur between 10 and 12 weeks after germination which will be the next one. Today I added the last dose of nutrition and will start flushing the RQS genetics. 420 fast buds I will still continue feeding according to the schedule. 31.10. 2023 4:30 - I managed to get extra money and so I invested in reverse osmosis, I believe that the investment will pay off as I would like to start hydroponics in the future. 1.11. 2023 4:00 - I think that due to the very intense light the two RQS flowers have started to take on a purple skin, especially in the upper levels of the plant. Lovely 😍 1.11. 2023 8:00 - I'd like to test how the 420 genetics will react if I defoliate them a bit more. I won't touch the RQS anymore as I think they are doing quite well without my intervention. 2.11. 2023 5:00 - The EC effluent top-ups are very high at over 2000ppm. (Using osmotic water with a max of 20ppm to start with) I hope these values will drop. I have also increased the topping volume to 4000ml/plant so that the substrate is properly flushed of residual salts. 3.11. 2023 8:00 - I would like to try a product that would dissolve the residual salts in the medium but I don't know which one would be the most suitable so I decided to try Advanced Nutrients flawless finish which does something different than I would like but at least I will try it but I will wait for next week to use it. 4.11. 2023 6:30 - Trichome control and plant health.

6.11. 2023 4:30 - It is time for a thorough flushing of the RQS genetics with osmotic water and I will use flawless finish from advanced nutrients to force the plant to absorb the remaining nutrients from the leaves. 7.11. 2023 5:00 - Careful observation of the trichomes and their coloration, I plan to harvest the plant when the trichomes start to turn amber. At the moment they seem to be slowly turning a milky colour and seem to be "filling up" 8.11. 2023 4:00 - The leaves seem to be slowly losing colour, especially in one RQS genetics the yellowing is quite pronounced. 8.11 2023 4:30 - I will try to remove all the old dead leaves and the ones that are already letting the plants go, but I will not cut any off, only the ones that can be easily removed. 9.11. 2023 20:00 - I think the trichomes are slowly filling up and harvest time is approaching with each passing day. 10.11. 2023 8:00 - I will try to participate in the competition with my 420 genetics for the best photo just for fun :) i have to take some photos with black background but for now it's just a test i will add some. 11.11. 2023 7:00 - The leaves on all plants are turning yellow but the waste water is still around 1800ppm. The odd thing is there are probably a lot of residual salts in the substrate from nutrients. Hopefully we can get as much of it cleared up before harvest. 12.11. 2023 20:00 - I'm waiting for the trichomes to turn amber. I'll be patient. Most of the trichomes are now snow white, but not all.

13.11. 2023 4:30 - So now, my grower friends, it's all about getting the timing right by carefully observing the maturing trichomes. 14.11. 2023 5:15 - The lower floors are also clearly beginning to mature. 16.11. 2023 8:00 - I have a free day today and I will use it to defoliate the dry leaves and clean up the tent a bit. And, of course, taking pictures. 17.11. 2023 4:00 - It seems that most of the trichomes are already beautifully milky at least on the top buds but I still haven't seen any that are amber and that's what I'm waiting for. 18.11. 2023 - I have a lot of small flies in my tent I try to vacuum them up but they seem to like it there, but hopefully they won't do too much harm and multiply too much to endanger the harvest. 19.11. 2023 - I'm looking forward to probably the last week I won't drag it out unnecessarily we'll see what happens in the tent.

20.11. 2023 18:00 - Fellows growers probably the last week for RQS on this journey I'm looking forward to it. Everything is ready for the harvest.

Great genetica, very stable I can recommend for all. Very easy to grow and under the right lighting has a really high yield. We will see in the next weeks what will be the quality of the final product but I believe it will be great.

26.11. 2023 8:00 - So we're three flowers down it's time to put our houseplant back in the tent we'll see what happens. 26.11. 2023 9:00 - It will have to be trimmed and bent properly to fit. 26.11. 2023 11:00 - Okay it was really a lot of leaves around 2hrs of intense cutting, good practice. Still need to tie the plants properly. The sticks on the 420 genetics are very heavy and fall off. 27.11 2023 5:00 - This week I'll be flushing with water. finishing the flowers with only 2ml/l Flawless Finish. 3.12. 2023 - Bad week for me I didn't take any photos unfortunately by the end of the week I'm sick. But it's my birthday today :) and there are presents in the tent. Perfect timing.

4.12. 2023 8:00 - So I'm off this week to clean up and prepare for the next cycle and of course harvest two more flowers. I'm still sick but at least I'm home. 4.12. 2023 23:40 - That leaves the last two ladies. I'm looking forward to the next harvest. 5.12. 2023 11:30 - I made a few changes, I cut the houseplant and let it dry, I tried to place and tie the other two flowers so that they would have enough light for the last week. It was quite difficult as the buds are very heavy and breaking. 6.12. 2023 5:30 - Probably last watering today. 6.12. 2023 6:00 - I have checked the trichomes thoroughly I think they look really great the colour is snow white but I will wait till the end of the week and then we will see.

One flower didn't turn into a flower properly so it ended up in the kitchen. The second flower grew too high, which was probably my fault, yet it looks like it will yield a huge amount despite showing signs of calcium deficiency throughout the flowering period and the third flower was the best. I'm curious what the harvest will be like.
