Northern Light Auto

Terpgrow Unfortunately, I had to stress the ladies a bit because the greenhouse I have here isn't really good and usable, so I repotted the three of them.

Terpgrow Week 2 is starting off well, the latecomer has handled the unplanned repotting super and is growing wonderfully. Number #2 and #3 also made it through, but not without damage; both have a nutrient burn. However, I think they'll do fine moving forward. Today, the three ladies also got pH-regulated water (6.1) and 0.1 ml root booster for the first time. Mid-week 2, all three ladies received 100ml of water pH (6.0) with 0.1ml root booster each. I think next week the three ladies can move into their 20L fabric pots where they'll stay until harvest. By the end of week 2, I decided to move them into the final pots a bit earlier. All three were well-rooted, look very vital, and I think if I leave them alone for a few days now, the initial stress will pass quicker, and the ladies can fully develop without additional nutrients for now. I repotted them back into the Floragard grow mix with a thin layer of light mix between the roots and the new substrate so the roots don't get another nutrient burn right away.

Terpgrow Week 3 starts off with 0.5 L of watering per plant. I've set the pH back to 6.1, and the first pistils are now showing on all three. I'm still waiting to fertilize since there are definitely enough nutrients in the soil from the repotting. So far, they are growing well without any signs of diseases, deficiencies, or anything like that. In the middle of week three, I removed 4 of the fan leaves per plant to give more light to the lower shoots. I'm still watering every 2 days with 0.5 L, just correcting the pH. By the end of week 3, the shoots have made a nice push, and the ladies are now about 15 cm tall. Today, I gave them 1 L of water for the first time with root booster, and the pH is corrected to 6.2.

Terpgrow At the beginning of week 4, removing the sun sails gave the shoots a nice boost. Now that the first signs of flowering are becoming clearer, I will definitely start fertilizing from week five. Otherwise, the ladies are developing splendidly. I noticed 2 deformed leaves, and I will keep an eye on them. It's probably nothing serious, but it's better to be cautious. Week 4 went by without any exciting incidents; everything is growing and thriving as it should. At the end of week 4, I unfortunately had to remove one lady from the tent. More on that in week 5.

Terpgrow Week 5 is intense! My original plan was to use LST clips on all the ladies since I had some branches break during my last grow, and I wanted to give it a second chance. Well, what can I say? NEVER AGAIN!!! The latecomer was already kicked out of the tent last week because two branches broke, and I was so frustrated at that moment that I decided to take her out and just continue with the other two. But honestly, what did I expect? One of the two remaining ones also had 2 branches break. Well, she's staying now, but maybe she'll develop even better :D Otherwise, the ladies are super healthy, the first flower clusters look great, and the first trichomes are forming on the leaves—perfect for dipping my toes into the world of hash production in the new year. The ladies are now getting 3 liters every other day with: Root booster 2ml/L Grow 2ml/L Only 2 times a week from week 7, then not at all: CalMag 1.5ml/L Bloom 2ml/L Booster 2ml/L Only 2 times a week from week 8, then 3ml/L every 2 days. pH 6.3 End of week 5, to be honest, I'm already looking forward to the harvest so much more than during my very first grow. I think I'll be washing for the first time and using dry ice to sift. The pictures speak for themselves; I never thought I could bring such a lady to fruition as a complete beginner!

Terpgrow Week 6 was without major incidents, nothing extraordinary. I just increased the watering amount to 4 liters per lady.

Terpgrow Week 7 is going well so far. Every time I open the tent, a very dominant lemon smell hits me. Let's see how it goes from here and if there are 1-2 little surprises coming up. By the end of week 7, not much has really changed. The buds are slowly but surely getting thicker and larger, and the trichomes are starting to turn milky and amber in spots. However, I don't expect a harvest before week 10. I'll still check regularly on how the trichomes are developing. One little thing did catch my eye, though. I discovered a bud that has developed two flower tips. Let's see if that goes anywhere, and if so, how it ends up :D (I've posted a picture of it for you, of course.)

Terpgrow Let's forget about this week quickly 😅🤣 I was too careless when checking for mold or anything like that and ended up breaking a branch. Luckily, the ladies are already quite far along, so I hung the flower up to dry right away. Let's just hope next week will be better!

Terpgrow The harvest amount was okay. But not everything is perfect yet; I still have a lot to tweak in the setup. However, it's getting better and more controlled with each time and month.
