Hello Grow Diaries community, This is my first real grow and I am happy to share it with you guys. I got a lot of information on the internet and from friends and still I have so much to learn :). My seedlings are doing good, i planted 5 NL and 3 royal gorilla seeds and all of them sprouted (both from RQS and automatic). I just have a Problem with my Tent themperature. I have a 800m3/h fan that sucks the air out of the tent and a 105m3/h fan that blows the air in. Nevertheless the temperature is between 30-33 degrees Celsius. If you have any tips I would be very grateful. best wishes absolutgrow

Dear Grow community, My babies have grown very well and have no deficiencies or surpluses. I started fertilizing them with TNT Complex and Root Complex this week, they really liked it. But there is one plant that had difficulties at the beginning and is now lagging a little behind. But overall they grow very well and enjoy life. best wishes absolutgrow

Dear Grow Community, I'm reporting back with the third week of my Northern light grows. All 5 plants have grown very nicely and enjoy the climate and the fertilizer. As with the RG plants I will start LST in the 4th week and keep you up to date. Best wishes absolute growth

@absolutgrow Hi mate whatever it is it sure took a decent bite Could be a rogue grasshopper or something What I would do is spray the plants with a bug/insect deterrent such as neem oil or diatomaceous earth mixed with water This will keep them away from your plants Hope I answered your question and Good Luck

Dear Grow Community This week was an exciting week, so I will divide it into three parts. 1st plants in general: This week they have grown very well and I have the feeling she has come into preflowering (but I am not 100% sure). 4 plants have reached a height of almost 30cm, but one is still very small. 2. pests: I found out what was nibbling on my plants, they were fungus gnat. These mosquitoes dig themselves into the soil and lay eggs there. From the eggs hatch maggots which eat the roots of the plants. I had to buy beneficial insects that eat the maggots. 3rd LST: This is my first time using LST (help and feedback is welcome). I started training 5 out of 8 plants to compare the results at the end. I enjoyed working with my plants and they seem to like it. The secondary branches are now growing much stronger and I have already tied some down. Next week i gonna start to feed them with bloom nutrients. Best wishes Absolutgrow Special thanks to @DILLIGAF and @Majormolasses

dear grow community, I report back with the fifth week of my Northern light auto grow. This week my plants have started to flower. They have grown extremely well and I have a lot of fun taking care of them. I have now stopped using LST as I want the plants to grow upwards. I have also changed my fertilizer. I also changed my sodium vapor lamp from veg to flower. I'm looking forward to see my babies flower and hopefully produce big buds. I just wanted to say that I am extremely satisfied with the strain so far, it is a strong genetics and has responded very well to LST. best wishes absolutgrow Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator

two of my plants have curled leaves and yellow leaf tips. But this only occurs with the new pairs of leaves. What could be the reason for this?
Solved
Leaves. Edges burnt

Honestly they do look very nice for auto flowers and lookng back they didn't start to yellow until you switched to flower and changed the nutrient line up .. I know that auto flowers go faster and turn that leaf into a feeding system about now ..maby they got burned just a bit in the transition to flower bloomers ..stress can cause that too to much water , not big enough container ii n flower ..hopefully it's just the strain and genetics besides that they are growing good ..good luck..

Dear grow community This week the plants have started to flower properly. One plant is quite small but already quite wide compared to the others. Another plant is incredibly big, so big that I'm worried that the top can get heat damage. They are all very well grown, leaves are starting to turn yellow and buds are getting fatter. best wishes absolutgrow

Dear grow community This week my plants have formed many flowers. Many leaves have turned yellow which is a good sign, I think. Unfortunately the plants are not so big, except one. I hope I could increase the harvest with LST. A plant is already quite far away and I think I can harvest it in the next 1-2 weeks. I slightly overfertilized the largest plant. I will rinse it with Ph 6.5 and then there should be no further problems. best wishes absolutgrow

@CRiSPrGrow, Thanks man, i hope they work. Due to several prizes and your grandmaster status I think you are an experienced grower :). I would like to ask you if the lighter color is normal in the places where new leaves grow or if they have a deficit? Much respect and happy growing!

@Majormolasses, Hey man, first of all thanks for the compliment :D. Its my first real grow and im realy passioned about it. Also thanks for you're advice! I found out what it was, the fungus gnat (i couldn't find the english word). These little fuckers eat your plant and lay egs in your soil, then their children eat the roots of the plant. I had to get other insects which i put into the soil and they're supposed to eat the grubs. I hope it will solve the problem. I also spray the plants with neem oil. I'm looking forward to take a look at your RQS diary :)

They look good ! I grow the same strain, I also have 2 very tall plants compared to the other, what I can see so far is that plants with LST have made bigger buds and plants without are too tall with smaller buds.. I personally prefer bushy ones with big buds 😋

Paulolo03commented6 years ago
@absolutgrow, I bet on the LSTed ones ! It is also more impressive to me, massive frosty buds... Mmm 😋

absolutgrowcommented6 years ago
@Paulolo03, Hey man, i also use LST and untrained plants to compare at the end :). I didnt't expect such a difference in hight to be honest. But we gonna see what yields the best.

Paulolo03commentedweek 75 years ago
Very beautiful plants. I'm about to harvest mine who suffered during the grow but are still beautiful, I can't imagine how yours will be ! I can predict a very decent harvest. They aren't big but pay attention to the buds, they gonna get fat !! It's what happened with mine ! Keep doing what you do, I think you're doing a great job ;)
