NORTHERN LIGHT

Hexahydrat666 After a week in the peat plug pot, I can transplant into an 8L fabric pot today. My first grow with Mills Nutrients, I'm curious to see if this stuff is any good.

Hexahydrat666 So far so good. I got the little plants a humidifier and a new lamp, which is currently running at 40% (about 100W).

Hexahydrat666 Small and compact. The little one grows more in width than in height. Actually, I usually start LST in the third week, but due to the short distances between the nodes, I can't set any clips yet. I've set the light to 60% (about 180 watts).

Hexahydrat666 Everything is running unspectacularly. Except for a few fungus gnats, which I was able to successfully combat with nematodes, I haven't been able to spot any pests. Otherwise, the lady looks healthy.

Hexahydrat666 The first flower buds are here. I removed a few of the larger leaves to let in a bit more light and improve air circulation. In the drain, I'm measuring an EC value of 3.5 and a pH of 6.2 (the watering water has an EC value of 1.7 and a pH of 6.0). If the values remain stable, everything is fine; if the EC value in the drain rises, I will water only with water once and then reduce the nutrient addition.

Hexahydrat666 So far, everything looks pretty good. The lady has really stretched out again (I think the stretch is so strong this time because the plants are standing very close together in the tent). Otherwise, the leaves look relatively pale, and I'm considering adding a bit of extra nitrogen during the next watering.

Hexahydrat666 The buds are clearly gaining mass. I've removed some leaves to improve air circulation and let more light in. I didn't think the plants would develop so splendidly, and the space in the tent isn't enough to shape the plants properly with LST. Since the leaves are quite pale, I added a bit of extra nitrogen to the regular nutrients.

Hexahydrat666 The extra addition of nitrogen seems to be doing the lady good. In the next grow with Mills Nutrients, I will mix in horn shavings under the substrate again to prevent nitrogen deficiency. The lack of space in the tent worries me a bit. To improve ventilation, I placed two mini fans on the floor.

Hexahydrat666 Final stretch, I'm slowly going to reduce the amount of nutrients until harvest. In the last week, there will only be water.

Hexahydrat666 Actually, the little one would be ready for harvest, but since I currently don't have a place to dry, she gets to live a little longer. In the last days leading up to the harvest, it's just water.

Hexahydrat666 Actually, the harvest is overdue, the first petals are wilting, but I'm still short on drying space. So I have to wait a few more days. So far, everything looks pretty good, but I'm worried that the wilting leaves will lead to bud rot. I hope I can harvest in the next few days and that everything will turn out well. Additionally, I've removed a few leaves from the upper area to let more light penetrate to the lower area so that the lower buds can ripen a bit better.

Hexahydrat666 Harvest time! There were a few nice, dense buds and even the smaller flowers from the lower areas look decent.
