Northern Lights

Ramires Tag 8: They have grown great. Since they got a bit leggy, I filled in with soil.

Ramires Tag15: both little plants are developing great, the 2nd node pair is forming. When the side shoots grow from the 3rd pair, they will be topped.

Ramires Tag 22: both little plants are doing well and are about 12 cm tall. At nodes 1 + 2, the side shoots are growing and small leaves are clearly visible. Node 3 is starting to develop. If leaves appear there as well, they will be topped. I'm starting to add extra nutrients to the watering water now.

Ramires Day 29: Today both plants were topped above the third node. The side shoots that came out of the first node were removed so I have a bit more space for watering. The soil was covered with mulch to prevent the top layer from drying out too quickly. The plan is to continue training both with Main-Lining. Day 33: both plants topped again.

Ramires Tag 36: both plants are growing nicely, although somewhat differently, even within the plant. So I could only partially top them for the third time, as it was still a bit tight for the scissors. That should be ready in about 2 - 3 days. With the 23rd plant, I accidentally cut off a shoot during the first trimming. For her, it will now be a "T-topping." Once all the shoots have been cut for the third time, I'll give them 2 weeks to recover and then switch to 12:12.

Ramires Day 43: Both plants were topped for the last time 5 days ago. I will keep them under 18/6 light this week and then switch to 12/12, change the LED light to flowering, and reduce the distance to the plant to 30 cm. Day 47: Changed the LED to 12/12 and switched the lamp to flowering.

Ramires Tag 49: both plants are growing without any issues and are 20 and 27 cm tall. The first mini flowers can be seen at the tips of the shoots and nodes. As always, I've removed some leaves to improve ventilation. A dehumidifier will be delivered in a week or two to lower the humidity to about 55 - 60%.

Ramires Tag 56: Both plants are doing well and causing no problems, they are 40 and 27 cm tall. Again, I bent the shoots down a bit, as well as did some light lollipopping. The buds are developing and a light aroma is coming through.

Ramires Tag 63: both beauties are growing without any signs of deficiency. They are 32 cm (#1) and 50 cm (#2) tall, and the buds and aroma are developing beautifully. Leaves were removed from both, and tightly spaced shoots were bent apart to allow for good air circulation.

Ramires Tag 70: Both are growing without any issues, the stretch is lessening, they are now 36 cm (#1) and 53 cm (#2) tall. The trichomes are now clearly visible on the sugar leaves. I only removed leaves that were covering the buds.

Ramires Tag 77: both are growing without problems. They haven't gotten any taller. The trichomes are becoming increasingly cloudy, and the number of amber ones is also increasing. The buds are noticeably plumper, and it's sparkling more and more on the sugar leaves.

Ramires Tag 84: both plants are doing well, only with #1 the tips of the leaves are turning brown and curling slightly upwards. However, since the trichomes are almost at a ratio of 80-10-10, I won't take any further action. I think they will reach the end of the journey in about a week and can be harvested.

Ramires Tag 91: "The End of the Road". Today was harvest day. For both plants, I only removed the larger leaves to allow airflow everywhere. I also cut off 3 and 4 branches respectively and hung them separately to avoid mold during drying. They are hanging upside down in the tent at 55% RH, and there is a dehumidifier in the tent as well. The temperature is a bit high at just under 20° C, but I can't change that. Now drying for about 8 - 10 days, and after 2 weeks of curing, I'll give it a try. Update coming 😎
