Week ending 08/20. These girls are really starting to show their flowers. Plant 1 while being shorter than plant two, buds are really starting to fatten up. All of the bud-sites are starting to form more, and they all seem to be in a different growth stage, but just behind one another. Did some minor defoliation of yellowing leaves and fan leaves that were covering any of the budding sites. Rotated the plants within the tent. Still only vegetative growth on plant 4.
I'm curious to know if others that you might have shared this with also had the UPLIFTED, CREATIVE, TALKATIVE affect that you experienced? I have grown some Northern Lights photo fems from seedbank.com and the taste/terp profile is a heavy Sour Grape smell and taste accompanied with spicy/earthy/pine. But the biggest difference is, the NL#5 I grew is indica dominant and a great sleepy-time smoke.
Great looking ladies you've got there. Quick question - I'm about to kick off some auto's on my next grow, can I still LST/Defoliate them without stressing? They're fem'd, but I'm a rookie and still worry about f'ing up my $60 seeds.... haha
@PurpsInMyCloset, It depends what the true wattage is of your lights. So I run a total of 5 Quantum boards LED, and give a total of about 250 watts of lighting to every 2 plants. If you have a reddit account, I would check out R/microgrowery. I try to post there frequently, and there is a ton of information about QBs. I've had some impressive yields, heat mitigation is easy, and you can source them from Alibaba. But, for your current light, see what the actual wattage is, and the foot print and base it off that!
@Cloyy perfect! I really don't like the idea of defoliating any seeds that i'm paying for, haha, but i'm willing to try anything to get some solid colas. One last question.... I got 8 seeds, thinking of doing 4 and 4. I only have a 600w "YGrow" (Amazon...) LED. Do you think that's enough for 4 plants at a time? Curious what you're running!
@PurpsInMyCloset, Thank you! LST and LIGHT defoliation are my go to. Save the defoliation until they shift to flower, and only enough to clear covered bud sites. You can top them too, but only if you have good growth by week 2/3. If it's your first time with autos then I would stick to LST, and light defoliation during flower. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions on your grow!
