So started a new grow and i'm planning on finishing this one on GD, unlike my previous diary's.
I have made another grow box and this is my best yet, completely stealth except the fan but that can be shut off remotely if any unwanted visitors come knocking lol.
I bought a 1/2 size cupboard off of Spock and gutted the inside, glued the cupboard door and draws back on and created a back entrance. There are good strong wheels on the bottom so the cupboard can be accessed easily.
Day 13 - Actual start of the Grow Diary today.
Day 14 - She is looking good but developed a weird yellow spot on one new leaf. Gonna keep a close eye on it!
Tip - For anyone who is still taking pink/purple pictures, pick yourselves up a pair of growroom green glasses they work perfectly for taking pictures under LED Lighting.

I havent had to do much with her at all this week, she looks healthy and ppm of nutrients is rising nicely there is about 10l of feed left of the 20l reservoir so i will probably top it up next week at some point.
Check out the time-lapse of the week, turn the volume up 👌👍
Day 22 - ppm=661 ph=5.4 Temp=27.4c-22.5c
Condition=1st bit of lst. Smell is already getting stronger, smell outside box

Did some tucking
So 7 weeks in and there are still no pistils, this was a free seed from @Dutch Passion and i thought it was an auto as the rest of the seeds i purchased were but im guessing its a photo period so i have now switched to 12/12.
So I spoke to Dutch Passion and they said the seed was supposed to be Auto! Do I leave her on 12/12 now she is starting to flower or shall I go back to 20/4 and risk re-veg??
We are loving the way things are going ATM. She should have been finishing up by now but as they say "things come to those who wait!!" hoping she is ready for the chop by New Year but i will have to wait and see.
This grow has been sooooo easy apart from a slight bit of nutrient burn that you can see, she has been a pleasure to grow, she is taking longer than expected but i wouldnt have her any other way lol.
Ive noticed that the pistils really turn bright orange even red 😁- i hope she tastes and smells as citrusy as she looks😝 - also getting frosty 👍
Merry Christmas Everyone!!😉
She is slowing down on the explosive growth now, and starting to ripen up, thinking 1 maybe 2 weeks till harvest!
Update- ive uploaded some pictures of the trichomes what do you guys think mainly cloudy?!?
Hi @LouShott! Well NFT does not really differ from any other hydroponic system, so you should plan a 5 to 7 days flush duration. Trichomes will tell you when to start (when they turn from clear to milky) and when to stop (when they turn from milky to amber). You will need to decrease your relative humidity for the last days, in order to maximize terpenes potency and resin production. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and enjoy your harvest 👊
I added a dehumidifier towards the end of this week to reduce the RH, but the thing i didn't realise was there were some red and yellow led's on the dehumidifier, one displaying RH and another for the power. I didn't cover up either through the dark periods and i just hope this past few days with them on doesn't affect my final yield 😣
Looking at the trichomes am i correct to start flushing now? let me know what y'all think!!
So i have decided to harvest tomorrow so this will be my last update of the flowering period of my grow.
She's looking like Autumn and has such beautiful colours and extremely strong and fruity scent. i cant wait to try her, i probably could have waited a little longer but considering she was supposed to be an auto and seed to harvest in 10-12 weeks, i think i've done well waiting this long lol.
All of the Trichomes are cloudy so i'm up for trying the more energetic heady high, that is supposed to come with harvesting at this stage.
The smoke is lovely now it has cured, it is an excellent wake an bake smoke and really sets me up for the day.
Even the popcorn buds do the trick, i wasted very little of the plant and will update with pictures of the butter that i am going to make with the sugar leaves.
