Northern Lights Auto

Side shoots appeared. Might have a Iron / Magnesium deficiency. Will check towards end of week 4. Started with Nutrifeed. 3g / 5L. Added Fe-phosphate as ground topping before adding water. Light distance to be increased to 70 cm at end of week 4 (06 May 2019). Current distance +- 25 cm. Watering: Every 2nd day. Have increased water amount. Top soil wet at least 3 cm deep.

Started with node 6. Plant should be approaching flowering. Healthy with full sets of fan leaves. Added 1l of water mixed with molasses (06/05/2019). Will continue with Nutrifeed at full strength solution to see how the plant handles it. Ca-Si feeding will happen Wednesday. Light distance now 70cm. Extended the light distance at end of week 3. Watering still every 2nd day. Added molasses solution with 1 liter of water. Water amount will increase from now to 250ml.

Node 7 formed and started with node 8. Small issues with leaves as there appeared some spots on lower levels with a slight purple / dark green on the edges of the top leaves. Will monitor…might be genetics of excess N. Ran a clean water week. PH of water set to 6.0 - 6.5. need to start with flower nutes towards the end of week 5. Will start adding the nutes at 1/3 strength for a week (starting on 18.05/2019) and work my way up to full strength at end of week 7. Will also be adding sea grow every second week from here on. Removed some of the lower fan leaves (4). Noticed that the plant did stand still but growth started again after about day 2 or 3 after cutting leaves. Stated folding the 2 top leaves to allow more lights to lower shoots. Technique used is to roll stem so the leaf turn 90 degrees top to bottom. Recovers within 2 - 4 hours. Lifted the pots higher. Light distance 45cm. Watering less this week due to the amount given towards the end of the last week. Only sprayed water to keep the top level wet. Will start with 250ml every second day.

Started flowering on Wednesday/ Thursday. Added Nutrigrow at full strength and will also add nutrient for veg at half strength every second week. Trimmed 4 fan leafs to allow more light to reach the buds. Have started with LST spacing the shoots to get max light. I am still folding the main fan leaves and will post video on my technique. Nodes has now stabilized and pestles forming. Hoping for cluster buds. Water schedule still on every second day but have increased amount to 500ml. Fed with fish emulsion at beginning of the week and added Nutrigrow (Flower nutes) from Friday. 5mg/500ml. I am a bit worried about the temperature drop. Will be looking at small heater to get the temperature up at night. Note to self: Invest in cold-storage room materials. I need to isolate my veg and flower areas.
