Northern Light Blue indoor

StickyHands And it starts again. 3 Seeds northern light blue. This time it is grown in living soil by couple of plants in auto pots. The seeds were placed in a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution for 24 hours. Then they went into easy plugs and shortly after germination(3 of 3 germinated) into small pots with biobizz lightmix. Everything goes into the mini greenhouse for at least 1 week. I hope you enjoy my grow report.

StickyHands So far, everything's going well. In a few days, they'll be planted in 1.5-liter pots.

StickyHands Everything's going great. They've now been repotted into 1.5-liter pots with 70% living soil, 30% biobizz light mix, and some perlite. Additionally, they've been given compost tea for the first time, which I watered and sprayed on the leaves. The compost tea is from the same manufacturer as the living soil (couple of plants), which I mixed with orgatrex (bio taps) and aerated with the aquarium pump for 24 hours. I tied one plant to the side and the others will be getting topt later. Let's see what works best for me in the end.

StickyHands Everything's going according to plan. In a few days, they'll be going into the 15L auto pot system.

StickyHands A few days ago, the ladies were repotted into 15L Autopots. I saturated the living soil with water two days before and added it to the pots. I won't have to water for at least 7 days now and the roots can spread out nicely in search of water. One plant was tied to the side, and the other two were topped. The fan leaves are regularly placed under the side shoots to ensure better light penetration (Leaf tucking). At the end of the growing week, the plants were defoliated and a little LST was applied. In the next few days, compost tea will be added again and the automatic irrigation system will be connected.

StickyHands Today is the first day of flowering. After the last kompost tee the push back was very strong. The plants have integrated well into the automatic irrigation system. Yesterday, I spread a little neem press cake on the soil surface (and then watered it in) because I've had good experiences with it in the past in controlling fungus gnats. But be careful not to overdo it. Neem press cake is also a long-term nitrogen fertilizer and has other positive benefits. It's best to do some research and then decide if it's the right product for you.

StickyHands Today is flowering day 8. Since the auto pots were connected, growth has exploded. Normally, I would let the plants grow in peace until flowering day 21, but since I'm going on vacation for 7 days in a few days, they've grown too densely, resulting in poor air circulation and poor light penetration. So, I decided to defoliate. Next time I would send them into bloom 1 week earlier.

StickyHands Flower day 21 Today I returned from vacation after 7 days. My first look was in the water tank, and it was indeed empty. Hopefully, I looked into the tent, and luckily, the ladies all looked healthy. The 40 liters had probably only recently been emptied. The ladies have grown more than I expected. Some even grew a few centimeters up to the lamp, and so I was forced to supercrop the longest shoots. I also lolipopt the plants properly.

StickyHands Flowering Day 28 So far, everything looks good, and the buds are stacking well. Today was hopefully the last time I had to supercrop. In a few days, they'll be getting compost tea again.

StickyHands Flowering Day 35 The flowers are developing beautifully, and a very delicious smell is coming from the tent when I open it. I'll be making compost tea again this week. Unfortunately, the humidity here is quite high at the moment because it rains a lot. I've had humidity peaks of up to 70%, but on average, it's more like 50-60%. I've also installed another fan underneath for more circulation.

StickyHands Flowering Day 42 The flowers are developing well. In the center of the tent, the plants are a bit lighter at the top. I suspect this is light bleach. Since I can't place the lamp any higher, I'll have to reduce the lamp's power from 80% to 60%. This week will probably be the last time the ladies will have compost tea.

StickyHands Flowering Day 49 The buds have grown nice and thick. One phenotype needs at least a week longer. Unfortunately, I had to cut off the first thick bud yesterday. I noticed a slightly brownish spot and tried to pluck off a small leaf there, which I managed without any problems. If a leaf can be removed that easily, it's a strong indication of bud rot. I immediately cut off the bud and opened it. There was definitely mold inside. I hope that was the only one. I increased the ventilation in the tent a bit. Fingers crossed

StickyHands Flowering Day 56 This week, a few more buds fell victim to mold, and I had to remove them. Unfortunately, I have to harvest in a week because I have to go away for a few days, and the risk of mold is too high for me. Two phenos are already ripening well, but the other might need another two weeks.

StickyHands Flowering Day 63 As I mentioned last week, I have to harvest today because I'm going on vacation for a week tomorrow, and I don't want the rest of the buds to start molding. I had to cut off about five thick buds within a week. I didn't find any more moldy buds when harvesting. The flowers of the three phenos looking beautiful and all different. I'm curious to see how they smell after drying. At the moment, they smell very pine and floral. Conclusion of the run. During the vegetative phase, the plant grew quickly and robustly. During the flowering phase, the plant stretched out unexpectedly. I tried to control it with super cropping. Unfortunately, there was still light stress, possibly because I was overly optimistic with the lamp's power. In addition, there were problems with bud root towards the end of the flowering phase, which cost me many thick buds. In the next run, I will work with cuttings of this genetic. I will recycle the soil from the run. I will top the plants several times and possibly flower a little earlier to hopefully counteract the height growth. Update and conclusion follow soon.
