Northern Lights (of Old Aberdeen)

Growin_it Seeds popped successfully (x2). Sprouts looking healthy. Will transplant out of solo cups tomorrow into 5 gallon bags of coco-perlite mix. Amended soil with buildasoil and worm castings, mostly. Two steps to blend coco-perlite mix into half filled grow bag then mix amendments Then repeated for second half for more even distribution. Pots in tent under lights to raise temperature ready for transplant out of solo cups into the 5 gallon fabric pots. Promise to myself: This grow I am going to be obsessed with VPD to develop that discipline further as a foundation for building knowledge. Then I will explore ways to automate the watering process. Now, the humidifier and heater are dialed into mars hydro app and AC Infinity sensors to keep that VPD mid-range.

Growin_it Tent feels less empty with these young 'uns sprouting.

Growin_it Added heater to tent as night and day temps were low. Watered every other day. Upped power on light to 50% Will up power again next week for more ppfd

Growin_it Low maintenance. Cleaned the tent. Fed the ladies with buildasoil and some fishshit in the calmag'd water.

Growin_it Topped to develop spread and control height. Cleared low level leaves and budsites. Added more sticky fly traps as I have some fruit flies ... too many fruit food flies. Tucking larger leaves below future budsites.

Growin_it Some light defoliation to open up the plant and get some more airflow. Fed at the end of this week Bushing out

Growin_it Top dressed bloom booster 2tbs Light defoliation Removed lower bud sites

Growin_it Nipped out a couple of leaves for improved airflow. She stretched a bit this week. Flowers starting to develop

Growin_it Low maintenance. Watered. Cleaned the tent. Added sticky gnat trap.

Growin_it Low maintenance week Watered and top dressed some worm castings

Growin_it Low maintenance Just keeping them watered with the VPD in check at lower temps, as I don't want to burn too much electric heating the tent in the basement. Frost is developing nicely

Growin_it Trying out a late bloom booster to fatten up the buds. First time using it, so we will see how it goes. Pushing the ppfd to 1190. Set up the dehumidifier to exit water outside of the tent to push the VPD up and for less work emptying the humidifier on the daily. Low maintenance, otherwise. A little top dressing of worm castings and bloom fertilizer. Got the RH dialed in with a new dehumidifier. Bumped up the VPD Frost under development

Growin_it Low maintenance The Overdrive late bloom additive definitely prompted new florescents after a week. Maybe one more week before the chop

Growin_it The Overdrive nute is fattening up these buds a little, but it can't make up for the overall flaws in the grow. Still frosting up nicely and can go a bit longer before harvest. Happy 4/20!

Growin_it Basement at 50% humidity. Nice dark corner to hang. Let's go!
