Northern Lights Auto (First ever grow)

ChiefZong The seedling had a solid first week. There was misting only when the soil was dry. True leaves showed up right on schedule, stretch stayed reasonable, and by the end of the week the plant was clearly established ~3+ inches with no major stress signals. A few light-distance tweaks and humidity adjustments but overall a successful seedling phase, good foundation set!! Until next week!

ChiefZong The second week of vegetation started off strong. Added a small clip fan for air circulation and a humidifier to battle the low humidity in the tent. An outlet timer was also a necessity to maintain an accurate and consistent lighting schedule. It didn’t take long before the plant started to show signs of growth and improvement in its more stable environment. Within a few hours, the plant started to stand taller and its fan leaves started to turn from slightly yellowing to a vibrant green. Overall great week for the plant. New additions to the tent and the plant is responding well!

ChiefZong I was very busy during this week hence the amount of pictures. She did well and there honestly wasn’t much to document. I tried keeping the tent’s condition as stable as possible while monitoring the soil levels. Next week will have better documentation!

ChiefZong This week has been the most transformative week for the plant so far. Not only did it grow taller, it started to form buds. One day upon opening the tent, I was pleased to see small white hairs shooting out from certain leaves. I immediately knew it was in the pre flower stage. As for the negatives of this week. One day during the week, my tent’s fan wasn’t in the correct position and tilted the plant. I had to add plant wire to help keep the plant upright. I may add more soil for more support. So far, the plant looks healthy and is thriving. Healthy buds and green leaves. The stem thickens and roots multiply as the days turn to weeks. We will continue to see how the plant develops during the flowering cycle.

ChiefZong Started the first week of the flowering cycle with the plants first introduction to nutrients. I gave the plant a very light dosage as I didn’t want to shock the plant at all. Since it’s an auto flower, I’ve been trying to take it easy. It seems the plant won’t get that much taller and will start focusing more on bud growth. I hope I’m wrong because I wouldn’t mind seeing her a little taller.
