blacksman This diary features my Northernlights auto plants, which I've just started growing. I've never harvested before and I'm not experienced. Don't consider this diary a guide. I'm writing here to identify any mistakes I've made, my shortcomings, and to get suggestions from you, valued growers. Thank you all in advance for your valuable comments. Stay high and healthy.
On 5/10, I kept my NOTHERNLIGTHS AUTO seeds in a damp napkin and planted them a few days later. I added 'Great White' mushroom to the planted area. On 9/10, I added 0.5 mL of biobızz rootjuice. On 15/10, I added 'Great White' mixed with water. On 18/10, I added 0.5 mL of bioheaven, 0.5 mL of rootjuice. On 20/10, I added only water. On 22/10, I added 0.5 mL of bioheaven, 0.5 mL of rootjuice, and 0.5 mL of activera. On 24/10, I added only water.

blacksman Greetings from Week 4
--------------------------------------------
This week, I installed a new ventilation duct because I thought the tent was stuffy. Everything seems fine.
When should I stop LST, and what and how much of each nutrient should I give this week before flowering?
I'm open to any suggestions, my dear fellow growers.

blacksman A quiet week, it developed well and flowering started quickly. The main stem is sturdy. It's assertive.

blacksman Hi everyone,
Hi everyone, there was a heavy bloom this week, and the pistils are now very visible. I increased the Calmag level because brown spots started to appear on the leaves of some plants. I feel like some of their growth has slowed down. I'll investigate the cause. I'd appreciate any advice.
The photos show two different tents. I'm growing a total of 18 Northern Lights. Stay high.

blacksman I had a calcium deficiency problem last week, and I increased my CalmaG intake. I think it's improving. For extra micronutrients, I'm using Canna Mono.
I think my plants are short for some unknown reason. Are they supposed to be this size? What should I do to get a bigger harvest? How many weeks do you think they'll be ready? growdiaries.com/diaries/290736-grow-journal-by-blacksman
hey 👋
You still have a few weeks ahead of you, between 3 and 5 depending on the plants.
Since you trained them all, their size doesn’t worry me; they’re not very big but within the normal range for autoflowers.
However, you need to make sure they can all reach up toward the light like the one in the back, so no more LST,
and you may even need to remove some stakes so the branches can straighten up.
What you’ll need to pay close attention to now for a good harvest is nutrient management.
Some are showing burn (photos 5 and 6), which means you should reduce the doses or even do a flush if the tips keep burning;
others are showing deficiencies (photos 9 and 10), which means they need more CalMag to start with
