Zamnesia Northern Lights Automatic second try

Salixi 1. Growth week So far, everything is fine. I'm curious to see how it goes now that the ladies have good light directly. Hopefully, the Airpots will contribute their part as well. I might need to get a fan, but that was a bit difficult at the moment because there wasn't one at the electronics store.

Salixi The day before yesterday, they got fertilizer for the first time. The tomato fertilizer is running low, let's see which one I'll use now. I would prefer the Compo Grow, let's see if it's available again. This time with better light and the Airpots, there's definitely a huge difference in growth to observe.

Salixi It's not really stretching at all, to be precise, it barely comes out of the pot. I planted it lower because last time it stretched a lot. This time it hasn't stretched at all, and I wanted to fill it up with soil. Now the lowest leaves are practically on the ground :) It's interesting what a good lamp can do.

Salixi In the pictures with several, she's the one on the left. She just got the good stuff from BioBizz. Since she's currently growing taller, I raised the lamp a bit yesterday. She's growing very dense and compact with short internodes. I'm really satisfied this time. It's amazing what good light can do. And of course the pots and the BioBizz nutrients :) Overall, we're currently on quite a steep learning curve, and I'm curious to see what will come out this time. I spontaneously decided to top her today. Hope that wasn't a mistake. 10.11.

Salixi The topping has been well tolerated, and now I've also untied the branches with wire to spread them out better. Yesterday, I additionally removed some leaves because they were stealing light from each other. I removed all the lower leaves and the scraggly new shoots. Overall, she's making a great impression now, and the clawing problem seems to be resolved thanks to Alg A Mic and the improved watering rhythm (hope it stays that way). I dissolved some baking soda in a small dropper bottle and made a saturated solution, from which I now add three drops to 5 liters of water to get the pH exactly to 6. I think that's a very cost-effective alternative to raise the pH level. Overall, she's doing very well, and since she's one of the 3 gifted seeds from Zamnesia, it's a really nice bonus that I've enjoyed a lot so far and hopefully will continue to enjoy. Robust genetics that produce impressive growth, and I hope this time there will also be a better yield. In my first grow, I probably harvested a bit too early because it only had a very low effect when consumed. However, I think this time with more and better light, she will perform completely differently, and therefore the result this time will hopefully be much better. Now, supposedly, you get better from grow to grow. ;)

Salixi This week I pulled the top down so that all the buds are more on the same level. Some leaves were removed. Overall, she looks very robust and healthy. And she has definitely entered the flowering phase beautifully. This lady is hardly comparable to the first grow attempt. This time she is much lusher and significantly more compact. And she has many more buds than last time. I'm curious to see what comes out this time.

Salixi So the lower third was thinned out quite a bit and it's producing almost as good a sea of flowers as the Pink Rozay. This row is definitely better than the first, and I think I’ve been able to avoid many mistakes I made the first time during this second run. I'm really looking forward to the results. I played musical chairs with the three plants and grouped them differently so that they all appear to be about the same height now. In the group photo, it's still the middle plant.

Salixi The growth is complete, and now it's really producing fat and impressive buds. There are also plenty of trichomes forming, and the first signs of ripening are showing as well. I'm fascinated by how much the pots, lighting, and nutrients make a difference compared to the first growing attempt.

Salixi The good one is also ready for harvest soon, I just gave her enzymes and Top Max today. The smell is overwhelming and she’s making extremely fat buds. It's simply amazing how she has developed. Let's see if she’s ready for harvest by the end of the week, since I’ll be away for a week and I'm considering whether to harvest her earlier. The backup gardener has no experience with the girls. In any case, she should already be interesting now, but almost all the trichomes are still clear. But the bright orange and the fresh light green are an incredibly beautiful sight.

Salixi She has developed excellently and is maturing into beautiful fat buds. She is just surpassing the Pink Rozay with the trichomes. She will also be harvested now, as I don't want too much couch lock, and waiting another whole week without control is too long for me, so she will be harvested before the vacation. Still, there's no comparison to the first attempt, it's crazy what a difference the improvement in nutrients, light, and the Air Pots makes.

Salixi Since I didn't want to leave them alone for a week, I decided to harvest them even though it's still a bit early. I'm totally excited about the sticky buds and really looking forward to tasting them.
