Soil stays humid really long. But I completely soaked the pot before I planted the seed. Now I've read that it's not a good to idea to do with autoflowers. It's weird to wait so long before I have to water it. But Ms. Plant still seems to be growing at a decent rate.
Day 11 - First stipules :)
Day 12 - It smells! Just a tiny bit right above the plant, but it's there. Incredible, I thought plants only smelled during flower.
I'm waiting on the leaves to curl before I'll water it, I think it's starting, but I'm not sure. I'll wait another day just to be sure.
Day 13 - Leaves started drooping, especially new ones, so I watered today. About 2L ph adjusted water. Around the plant the entire pot until there was some runoff. Left the runoff in the tray in the bucket and after an hour or so it was gone (evaporated or absorbed back into the pot I don't know)
During the entire week I have been slowly ramping up the PPFD from 300 (max for seedlings) to 600 (max for vegetative growth). I use a €20 lux meter from amazon to measure the light and then I use an online converter to see the PPFD. For a lot of the grow I'm using this guide http://fluence.science/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/High-PPFD-Cultivation-Guide-9.27.16.pdf
Looking good ... Just got done harvesting a Northern Lights Auto myself. Got about 63 grams off her,check it out if you can ! I wish you the same success. Good luck with the rest of your grow.
@Vanalle, I have carbon exhaust set up so I didn't smell her unless I opened my tent and even then it was very minimal, great strain for being discreet as far as smell goes.
@Mr_Weeds_Autos, Thanks man, hope to get a similar harvest! I stunted my first seedling and wasted quite some time not watching it grow.
I will check out your diary :) How was the smell during the grow? I've read it's really minimal with Northern Lights.
@Lovemabud,Thanks man! Haven't added any nutes so far, really liking this Plagron soil. Should I start next week since then the soil should've run out of nutes or should I wait until the first signs of deficiencies?
I'm eagerly awaiting the stretch, I feel like it hasn't grown very much this week.
Looking good...I'm at 5 weeks now and kicked of LST around the same time as u. I'm also using garden hooks. Will be interested checking out your updates
Looking good. I guess a grow isn't a grow without a few issues....working around the issues without detrimental impact on the plants health is what counts and looks like u succeeded. Those damn timers!!! I had the opposite of your issues recently...overloaded my circuit and the safety switch jumped turning all lights off. When I realised I flicked her back on..alas 16 hours later pushing my plant into extended darkness...dohhhhh.
