Northern Light Auto by RQS

ChubbyBudBros - Day 8 She is still doing great, the second set of leaves are starting to pop off now. Day 9 Surprised by how vigorous the growth has been so far. Definitely confirms that my previous 2 failed seed were from a bad batch or those seeds were damaged during transport. Day 10 Soil was dry enough to water, so I watered her with 400ml(1ml/L of Root juice, Alg-a-mic & Bio-heaven) Day 11 - Day 12. Third set of leaves are really showing up now. Gonna wait one more day before watering again. Day 13 She's still growing nicely. Probably have to water her again tomorrow. Day 14. Definitely had to water today (probably yesterday) the top soil was completely dry and the leaves drooped a bit (thirsty). Watered with 1L (1ml Bio-Grow, 1ml Bio-Heaven, 1ml Acti-Vera, 1ml Root Juice & 0.5ml Alg-A-Mic). She will probably need some more water by tomorrow again, happy to see this as in my previous growth the pot stayed wet for 3 weeks after the initial pre moistening the soil before planting the seed. The added perlite + airflow caused by continues intake from the inline fan(both which I didn't have in my previous grow) really help the dry backs of the pot A LOT.

ChubbyBudBros - Day 15 Just letting her grow some more before I decide if I will top her to just LST her. Day 16 Very happy with how the leaves are developing. My previous grow had very thin papery leaves while these have a nice volume and healthy look to them. Day 17 I decided instead of topping her, to remove the upper fan leaves, to allow the the nodes below to get straight light and catch up with the main node. I will probably have to keep removing main node fan leaves for a while to allow the side branches to catch up. I saw BasementGanja's video recently where he was trying out this method for keeping an evening canopy without topping and it worked amazingly well for him, so here's hoping it works out for me too 🙏. Day 18 It seems that she is recovering quickly from cutting off the upper leaves. the smaller nodes lower down have really started to take off now. Day 19 The newer upper leaves were already covering the lower nodes so I decided to already cut those leaves off. Should probably have watered today, but I didn't have time, will do that first thing tomorrow. Day 20 She was very thirsty! Fed her 1.5 liters of water (6.4 PH) with Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom, Top-Max, Bio-Heaven & Acti-Vera. The lower nodes are starting to properly grow bigger now. Day 21 Today I applied low LST stakes to spread the lower side branches out more to give some more light to the nodes below it. Also removed the newer upper fan leaves that were starting to get it bigger. I have no clue what I'm doing with not topping her and removing the upper leaves as they got to a certain size....I hope this ends well. 😖

ChubbyBudBros - Day 22 Doing good so far I think. I keep readjusting the training stakes twice a day as she seems strong enough to keep moving them all the time. Day 24 Watered a bit earlier than I'd like to, but I'll be leaving on a 2 day trip early tomorrow so I won't have time. Gave her 2L of water with same nutrients as the previous watering. Day 26 I've removed the bottom fan leaves, they started to slowly die, I think this is due to the low stress training as the plant is otherwise very healthy. Will keep an eye if newer leaves start showing this as well. I've redid some of the LST'ing and reshaped the plant a bit as growth is starting to pick up. I did also remove the upper most fan leaves again to slow down the main branch. So far the side branches aren't really catching up with the main branch, but I guess this will mostly be a thing during the pre flower stretch. Day 28 I've moved the pot to my newer bigger tent as I've got some new pots starting up. She is showing her first pistils hairs so I guess we're in pre-flower right now. I'll be focusing on LST'ing to keep the canopy even as much as possible from now on. hope fully those side branches will be able to catch-up with the main branch.

ChubbyBudBros - Day 29 Just been adjusting the LST stakes for now, not much else to do, waiting for the pre flower stretch to begin now. Day 30 Soiled seemed dry enough for a new watering, I definitely watered too much last time, it took almost a week to dry back again, so I lowered the watering amount to 1.24L now, containing bio-grow, bio-bloom, top-max, bio-heaven, acti-vera, alg-a-mic & a little bit of root-juice. 😅That's a lot different nutrients. I had to snip off the top most fan leaves again as they were getting bigger. It is starting to get really hard to properly LST all branches and some already had a few tears 😪hopefully they'll back up. For now I definitely feel that topping is a cleaner way to keep the canopy even instead of trimming the fan leaves on the main branch to slow it down. Day 31 Starting to get difficult to keep all branches properly LST'd as there are more nodes popping up everywhere and I'm trying to get light to all of them. Seems like the few cracks I made in some branches are healing up nicely as well. And I got to use my LST training clips for the first time as you can see in the picture😍. The branches were up too high and close to the main stem to jam in some more LST stakes so figured it was a perfect time to try the clips. Day 32 Loving the growth on her now, lots of nodes starting to develop. She looks a bit messy but I will like the LST'ing is helping a lot in creating new flower nodes. Day 33 I've decided to LST the top of the main branch now as I was able to perfectly put an LST clip on the top between the nodes now, hopefully this will slow it down a bit, because the side branches are NOT catching up with it yet at all. Also been adjusting the LST'ing on all the side branches, a lot of new flowering nodes are starting to bulk up now because of it, just gotta keep tucking the fan leaves to allow for all the nodes to get their direct light. Day 34 I've been able to bent over the main branch a bit more, it's really getting to high, but got it perfectly ben in a 90°C angle now, other than that a lot of nodes are developing really well, I'm excited to see the buds this girl will grow. I do have to be more sparse on the grow nutrients as the leaf tips are curling down because of N toxicity.

ChubbyBudBros - Day 38 Another watering day today! Gave her 1.25L of water containing bio-bloom, top-max, bio-heaven, acti-vera & alg-a-mic. I skipped bio-grow this time as some of the lower plant tips have become darker green and the tips starting twisting downards. I will stick to just 1ml/L next feedings. I'm religiously moving the LST stakes and adding new clips to allow more and more nodes to receive direct light in hopes that they as many as possible nodes become strong flowering sites. I'm not sure if constant adjustments like that will stunt the plant, but she seems to be doing good for now 🙏 Day 39 She still looking happy for now! I am loving see all the new nodes popup from the intensive LST'ing that I am doing, it's becoming an addiction almost 😝. I catch myself wanting to just check for 5 minutes how sh's doing and I'll end up adjusting the stakes and clips for almost an hour every day.
