Northern Lights Auto - 2nd Try

scupbucket Got some Bud Cups this time around. Hoping they pop out relatively easy unlike the stupid pop bottles I was using before... Hardening them off for a few days.

scupbucket These girls are already twice as big and taking off twice as fast as my last attempt. I want to try LST this round so I had to transplant on day 12 to give em a few days to settle in. Fucked the transplant up as usual. Bud cups work pretty well... I didn't wait long enough after I watered them and they kinda mooshed into their new homes. Whelp... let's see what happens.

scupbucket Weather has been total shit... no sun, temp/humidity all over the place, and rain on and off. These girls are starving for light. Trying LST but it's not doing much since the nodes are all compacted at the top of a lanky stem. I 100% see why growing indoors is better in this neck of the woods. They look healthy but not really happy.

scupbucket It's pretty evident that I shocked the shit out of these ladies during transplant... not a ton of action this week considering the weather was pretty good. I'm not sure if I LST'd properly as it looks like all I'm doing is pissing a plant off by making it grow sideways... neat trick. Some new growth at the nodes but very small. These girls seem pretty hungry too as they react really well and perk up when fed. Pistils popped up just at the end of week 4... right on time.

scupbucket Yep... still growing sideways... kind of in a spiral now. They started their stretch and the new growth on the stem is slow to catch up. Good news is, the new growth is looking great and the vegetation is much fuller than my last three plants. But of course, all the good stuff comes with misery. One plant that got hit with those goddamn thrips and early this time. I hate those things. Neem'd em. The girls really enjoy the nutes but I noticed some burn so I'm only feeding every other watering. I don't really think I like growing these outdoors where we live. Might be time to invest in a tent...
