My first babies

Hi guys ! Nice to meet you, here are my babies, my very first ones. Northern Light auto from RQS (10 plants), growing indoor (but the box itself is outdoor, no choice...). Actually have 2x600W, I'll use the same light for vegetative and flowering period. Using Biobizz nutrients. I'm a beginner, so no problem with critics, they'll probably help me a lot, I hope I can get some help from you guys, advices, what you think of my plants etc... This is the first week and I think they're doing quite well ! Some are smaller but I put them in soil the same day although they didn't have the same root length.

It's very hot these days, very difficult to maintain a temperature under 26°C, even at night.. The night period is between 1pm and 6pm when it's the hottest outside, I try my best to cool down the room when I'm home. Humidity is always between 48% and 57%, at least this parameter is good. The temp often goes over 30°C in the box because of the heat wave. The plants are growing very very fast though, I take a look on morning and when I'm back home, I can see they grew over the day !! That's crazy ! But I'm quite worried, they're not 100% healthy, the leaves are curled up, I guess it's too hot, should I mist the leaves ? Need some advices !

Thanks to your advices guys, the plants survived the heat wave ! I had to reduce the light time due the hot temperatures outside, now that it's done and the temperatures back to normal, the light schedule is back to 18h/6h. I misted them frequently and I can tell how well it works, the leaves are way less curled up, the plants are still growing fast. I now mist them a little bit when the light turns off. I started LST on day 17 and re-adjusted it on day 20, I think I'm doing it well but I could be wrong, comment and tell what I can do better ! I only water them once a week, I wait for the soil to be very dry, like 1cm deep or even more. I noticed some pistils on the biggest plants, I guess they're already pre-flowering Couldn't take much photos of this week, I had a lot of work and the light is on when I'm back home, I made a short video with lights on, I also heard music stimulate plants, so I tried lol

Beginning of week 4, 22 days after putting them in the soil, still growing well. Adjusting LST every 3 days

DAY 27, most of the plants are flowering, LST works so well. I'm worried because some of them seems to have advance, I don't think the buds should be that big for their age, maybe the heat stress made them flowering faster ? Moreover, some plants have their lower leaves turning yellow, I don't know what it is, give them nutrients once every 2 watering and I'm being very light with the amount of nutrients. Ordered 2 cooltubes, one for each light, it will help to cool down the room, gotta pick them up at the store and use them today. DAY 33, I followed your advices guys and added a bit of each nutrients for their deficiencies, don't know exactly if it was Ca, Mg or N deficiency but I can tell how better they are ! Water pH between 6,2 and 6,5 with 3acid down, hygro 55%. Because of the lower hygro for flowering stage, temp is going higher, I'll try my best to take care of them because another heat wave is coming... Thinking about reducing the light time to 12/12

No more yellow leaves spreading problem, it was the lack of nutrients for sure ! Thanks for those who helped me ! :) Something to consider for my next grow: I decided to grow 10 plants to get a chance to have a decent harvest as it is my first time but it takes too much space, I barely have room to move myself inside the box and the plants have less light. I also think it is the reason it's too hot inside the box, when the plants were small and the outside temperatures the same as today, it was was less hot. Next time, I'll grow like 5 or 6 but making them bushy as hell !!

Had to deal with a lot of problems... It was strange to me that it's still very hot inside the growbox so I checked all my equipment and opened the softbox I made for the carbon filter and the air extractor: the extractor was completely fucked up, that was the reason of all my heat problems... Ordered a new one but didn't receive it on time, family currently visiting so impossible to set up everything, I turn on the light when everyone is sleeping and turn it off before they wake up, quite hard to manage !

Day 54, things are getting better, I can't give too many hours of light a day but it's gonna be all good in few days. One plants starts to show a lot of trichomes, I'll get a microscope to take a closer look !

DAY 63, the grow box is now fully functional again, new extractor, new handmade softbox, back to 18/6 schedule, max temp=33°C, RH=50% (I know it's a bit high for flowering stage but I check carefully the plants and so far, nothing is wrong) 3 plants are frosty, I can see the trichomes with the microscope so I stopped the nutrients for them and flush with water pH 6,2, do you guys think I'm doing well ? For the 7 others: - 1 hasn't flowered, I keep her but I know shell never give nothing. - 6 are growing and I keep giving nutrients (Biogrow, Biobloom, Topmax and Bioheaven)

Day 68, nothing to say in particular, I'm gonna harvest a plant in few days I think, trichomes are milky. I'm flushing most of them (even if I use organic nutes, I prefer to flush) but still give nutes to the ones without trichomes. Still thinking if I should do a water curing to remove the thrips ? It's my first harvest ever so I don't know if I'm wise enough for that ! I won't be able to harvest them all at the same time. One is almost ready, some other are just showing their first trichomes. But it's okay, I'll use another room to dry them, it should be fine ! They're not very smelly but when I approach my nose, they do smell weed ahah, I can even notice a little smell difference between the plants, must be because they're at a different stage or maybe because they had a hard time and some are healthier.

Day 75, close to the end !! Still flushing and getting ready for harvest ! In approx 6 days, I'll harvest my first one, the rest a bit later, not ready yet. So I got a second hand furniture that I turned into a drying box to start drying while the rest is still growing. I'm so excited for the harvest !! It has to be soon cause I'm running out of weed ! I won't wait the curing to be done to start smoking it lol. A huge thanks to all the growers who helped or commented me, I learnt so much on this website, please feel free to ask for help, I'm not an expert but I'll always try to help the community :) Good luck to all !

Day 80, harvested 1 plant, she didn't really look good, the buds are very smelly and dense though. Some trichomes were brown so decided to chop her (the smallest buds only had milky trichomes, even not even milky for some). It wasn't one of the biggest so I hope for bigger yields for the other plants ! Now drying, got 145g after the wet manucure. The rest of the plants are still in the grow box, they're healthier and they'll be ready in few days, I thought I would harvest before but mother nature is the boss.. will keep you guys updated !

The best weed I have ever tried, because it was my very first grow experience so it tastes quite different to me :D Very resistant, very very, resisted to high temp, absence of light, lack of water and so on. The weed isn't that tasty due to all the problems (heat wave and fan breakdown, light breakdown and many more) but it does make me high. 1 plant has never flowered, probably due to the stress. The best plant (among 9) is way more smelly, it must smell sooo good when grown with good parameters. Very reactive to LST, she'll forgive your beginner mistakes (I made some 😅). It's definitely a must if it's a first grow. Next grow starts soon, 3 NL are included !
