This Northern Lights Auto is doing well. It dose has some yellow tips on upper growth. Potassium deficiency best I tell. But, it minor.
I have been giving it mild foliar feed of diluted kelp and Epsom salt, at Lights out every few days. As well feeding with about a quarter of water, that had been soaking several banana peels, washed egg shells and coffee grounds for over a week. To attempt to squeeze out a bit more potassium into the soil. Don't have the money to get potassium sulfate right now, so have to make do for now.
I like your grow tent. I'm getting one myself. Bit bigger than that. 4X3 You get 90cm2 area and a side part like yours that's 30cm2 x2 as it also has a shelf. I'm looking at AC infinity. How would you rate your tent? This is your 1st?
Also, bit of advice..if you're a smoker like myself and thought your 1st plant will produce 200+ grams, you'll be massively let down. Yes, these marks are reachable. But, with time and many grows. So, id advise you fill your tent. Even with a few autos to take up the space. Feel free to mes me regarding any tips.
@gottagrowsometime yes, this my 1st tent. But, I think the tent has been pretty solid! I paid 120usd, for the 2x3, 2 in 1 tent paired with a VS1000 light, on the Vivosun official ebay page. Was a big flash sale, so maybe keep a eye out there. Full price, I'd say the tent is a easy 8 out of 10.
I do see very tiny pin holes in the stitching, around the zipper when the room is completely dark. But not enough for me to feel it's a issue. The zipper, stitching and material feel very sturdy! No complaints there.
Has plenty of vent ports. Frame seems solid, and very easy to assemble. Putting the tent over wasn't bad at all. And the shelf on the right section is easily removable, so you could allow for taller plants if needed. Came with 3 liners, 1 for each section.
Biggest complaint, and the minus 2... the divider between the two sections is a bit of a hassle. Kinda need help putting it in. Ideally with someone to push in from the outside, to secure the velcro completely. Also, the optional crossbars for hanging equipment, inevitably need to go above the divider, between the velcro. This could cause light leaks between sections. And, adjusting the top bar a little bit of a hassle because of the divider. The divider also blocks the straps for the removable liner. None of this has been a huge deal, but it is a mild hassle. If they were to put little cutouts into the divider, it would definitely help. No idea if AC Infinity are better in this way. But, they do seem to generally reviewed a little bit higher... but also a fair bit more expensive.
If you want more pictures of the interior, feel free to message me. I know I had trouble finding pictures of exactly how it was laid out on the inside. And I would assume the larger 2 in 1, is mostly the same design. Just scale up.
And yeah, I'm starting more plants. Just put 2 seeds too germinate. Growing for myself and cancer patient. Law permits 4 plants per household, with a medical card here. So I plan to stagger growth. 2 in veg, while two are flowering in the 2ftx2ft main chamber. Also, very likely too switch to photos after this set, to have more flexibility in .
