RQS HulkBerry and Northern Light Autos

timon Day 1 (2024-10-28) Starting the grow after successful germination Day 6 (2024-11-02) I was away from day 1 until today. Both Hulkberries popped up, but it seems like there was not enough light (I’ve set the lamp at the lowest intensity). Raised the intensity to 30%. The temperature is around 24-25 C, humidity is around 60%

timon Day 8 (2024-11-04) After raising the light intensity (now 50%), the plants stopped stretching up and slowly started developing. The northern light haven’t popped up eventually.

timon 2023-11-11 Day 15: HulkBerry #1 seems healthy and #2 looks pretty weird. I’ll keep it for now, but I don’t have much hope it’s going to make it. Also gradually switched to 18 hours light and 90% lamp intensity.

timon 2023-11-18 (day 22): I added the air extractor, which dropped the temperature in the tent and now the light is at 100% intensity. Things look good with the plant #1. I started introducing nutrients. 0.5 ml of BioGrow per liter of water. Not sure what to do with the second (mutant) plant. Going to keep it for now.

timon 2023-11-25 (Day 29): Last week I noticed that tips of younger top leaves are getting yellow. I suspect the light burn but not 100%. Moved the lamp higher (~50 cm above the top of the plant now). Also checked the temperature at the top: ~ 30 degrees Celsius. I guess a nutrient burn can also be a case, so I feed the plants with only water for now.

timon 2023-12-02 (day 36): Everything looks good. I am still cautious adding recommended (by Biobizz) amount of nutrients after seeing the signs of nutrient burn last week. Going to slowly add more and observe how the plants react.

timon 2023-12-09 (day 43): I tried to add more nutrients, but the plants responded with a slight nute burn, so I’ll keep adding only 0,5 ml per liter for now. Otherwise things are going well.

timon 2023-12-16 (day 50): Some of the older leaves turned yellow and fell off. At first, I thought it was caused by natural reasons, but the issue quickly started to affect more leaves. It looks like nutrient deficiency, so I’m slowly adding more Bio-Grow (from 0,5 ml/liter to 1,5 ml/liter currently).

timon 2023-12-23 (day 57): Still trying to balance the amount of nutrients since the plant demonstrates some signs of nute burn and, at the same time, the older leaves are getting yellow falling off.

timon I don’t feel like winning the battle to find the balance of nutrients. Many leaves fell off and, at the same time, there is a growing indication of nutrient burn. I decided to use plain water once and see how it goes.

timon Getting closer to the harvest! The balance of nutrients by no means optimal tho

timon I noticed that the majority of buds have 5-10% of amber trihomes, so I decided to harvest the primary plant. The second ones needs more time though.
