13/06 - final day of week six / flo week two. Not much done with the plan, only a couple of leaves cut to give more exposure to light to buds. Temperature is around 30-32 Celsius, humidity 40%. The growbox is partially open but so far no smell issues :)
11/06 - heatwave is here to stay so struggling with temperature still. Mixing fan is on 24/7 so sometimes humidity goes down til 30% but the plant still looks fine and progress is visible. To compensate the conditions I water the plant daily. It doesn't show signs of overwatering so far simply because 1L per day seems quite reasonable amount of water to add each day atm. Also did some more defoliating today. The plant is responding well so even though I'm newbie I'm not skeptical towards this particular method, especially that I'm trying to be reasonable. Let's hope it will put its whole energy into producing nice buds, even if conditions are tough :)
09/06 - very hot outside so decided to put the plant on the balcony. perhaps I shouldn't be doing at this stage but fortunately not much is seen from the ground so the plant has enjoyed a sunny beautiful day and had some fresh air blowing through its leaves and stems :) happy with its development at the moment
07/06 - second flowering week has started. The main issue is now temperature and maintaining humidity. I am satisfied with growth however heatwave has arrived and it's becoming more and more difficult to keep the temperature as low as possible. Since autos are not light-sensitive I am considering switching to night time lights but let's see. So far it doesn't look too bad. I put mixing fan inside and so far it's maintaining 40% humidity which is great. The temperature is a bit of an issue, reaching now 35 Celsius, however the fan is cooling the top of the plant so I believe the temperature there is lower. No light stress, no droopy leaves, perhaps this strain is harder than I thought :) Let's see what this week brings.
Could anyone answer me If I should cut underdeveloped buds that are not receiving much light in order to switch energy to the more developed ones? I've heard this should be avoided but I'm just wondering. Thanks!
Guys, a question if you don't mind - do you think I should change watering pattern? Should I actually add more water and give an extra day off or leave it as it is? (roughly 1l per 2-3 days). Thanks!
Looking good ... Just got done harvesting a Northern Lights Auto & a AK-49 Auto myself. Currently waiting on my White Widow Auto to finish up. Check them out if you can. I wish you the same success.Good luck with the rest of your grow
@666_420, in my opinion cutting is alright but harvesting the top colas first and letting popcorn develop for a few weeks extra will result in a few more grams overall. First grows are very fun and you learn a lot, good luck on your last weeks bro
@Alpaca, this is why i got rid of tiny undeveloped buds, around 5 in total, recently. I'd rather have fewer colas but indeed I want my plant to concentrate on the highest ones. A few buds in the middle are smaller but since it's my first ever grow I will do a 'post mortem' and analyse what can be done better next time in order to improve LST :)
Thank you for your comment!
Getting ready for my next project too. This time I will be attempting to grow two ladies. AK-47 auto and Northern Lights auto, the latter from Royal Queen Seeds so looking forward to try that revered strain. Hope time is not an issue this time and will be patient harvest in the end. Stay tuned!

Hey, just checked your strains and indeed, seem very impressive. I can't expect such yield as my light is not as good as yours, and of course it's my first ever grow. But thanks for nice words!
