MSNL Auto Lemon OG - Coco 600W HPS MH

This is Inara, an Auto Lemon OG. Forgot to take pics when I was starting this lot, was distracted harvesting my first grow :D Anywho my set up is a 1.2 x 1.2 x 2m Harvemax tent. I'll be using a 600W MH for veg and 600W HPS for flower. The girls go straight into 11L fabric pots. I'm growing this baby alongside an Auto White LSD named River, and a Caramalecious Auto named Kaylee. Yes I'm a nerd. I used Nutrifield pre-mix Coco Perlite blend (I'm lazy and it was cheaper than separately, win-win!). Since this is my second grow I'm giving the plant training a go. I hadn't wanted to complicate things the first time. Fingers crossed 😑

Girls are looking good! Still harvesting the other girls so River isn't getting my full attention, but they seem to be strong and growing well :D

Topped her at 16 days. :) First time so I was completely reliant on the interwebs instructions. She seemed really healthy though, perfect candidate!

The girls recovered really well from their topping! Growing perfectly so far, and they're loving the nutes. Inara is bushy as hell, her leaves getting in her own way, so I did some LST. Also my first time so not sure if I did it right... but it seems I've exposed all the important parts and I gather that's the point, so that's something. :P She's started showing sex, feminized seeds so no surprised there, but no signs of hermies so far!

13 September Up to daily waterings now and Inara is loving life! I did quite a bit of defol last night cause she was so bushy there was no light getting to any of the bud sites. She seems to be taking it really well! 15 September I haven't done much LST on this gal cause she's staying pretty squat. I'm a little concerned that there are no pistils yet. No signs of being hermie or anything, I guess she's just slow to flower. :(

This girl is doing great :D She's got a tiny bit of lightening at the tips of the leaves - I think it was the light being too close so I've moved it further up, but will keep an eye out for nute burn. I'm planning to change from the MH to HPS light tomorrow. Update: Got a bit more tip burn happening so I flushed her. All seems fine!

Starting to get some buddage happening! Bit excited by this gal, I think she'll be a chunker 😄 Update: Gave her a big defol on day 46, she was waaaaay too bushy to get light and air to all the bud sites. She seems to have taken it well!

So many flowers! I get the feeling Inara might take 11 weeks to finish up, but I'm keen to see how she goes. Started her on PK Heavy this week. She's pretty big for an auto! Update: Dealing with really high humidity atm while my dehumidifier is delivered. Typical straya weather, humidity has fluctuated between 30% and 80% this month. Who the hell can keep up! She's taken really well to the PK Heavy this week, starting to chunk up a bit :D

Still struggling with the humidity this week, but she doesn't seem too affected! Getting a bit more weight on her slowly but surely. Definitely looking like she'll take 11 weeks to finish up. Not too much to report otherwise! She just keeps on keepin on :P

Chunking up this week! Not much to report really, she's just been getting fatter. The pistils on the lower buds are turning brown and curling in, so should be good to start the flush end of this week.

Still not ready to flush! She definitely put a lot more weight on this week, and the pistils just started browning at the end of the week. The lower buds were brown earlier, but they're only little buggers.

Flush time! Started flushing with molasses, should be switching to plain water tomorrow (2nd Nov). :D Now that the LSD is out of the tent, I can really smell how pungent this girl is. Skunky lemon smell, was particularly overpowering today as electricity got shut off to the street for maintenance, so the carbon filter and fans were off all day. Opened the tent and got smacked in the face! Sorry for the lack of pics! It's a little tricky looking after the girls at the moment, cause I broke my ankle tripping over on the driveway 😕 So graceful. Crutches are really irritating. And I have to get my boyfriend to fill up the bucket from the filter every day and carry it into the grow room for me, so that's getting annoying, especially when we forget and he goes to work for the night. But such is life! UPDATE: SO turns out having no electricity for a day during 80% humidity doesn't go well. Got mould in one of the big colas. Luckily it was just the one, I poured over every part of every bud with LED torches during the harvest and couldn't find any other evidence of mould. Should still be a decent harvest! Will post results in a couple days when it's finished drying and I have the weight.

The denseness of this plant while growing can be a challenge, especially in high humidity. Lost one of my main colas to mould, and trying to keep up with defol on this chick was crazy. But a lot of that is inexperience I'm sure! If I were onto it earlier it may have been easier. She got pretty burnt during a heatwave but kept on keepin on and ended up with a lot of bud, even without one of the colas. She also had no issues with being topped, showed no signs of noticing it. I'd grow this one again, but probably use different training next time. 😃
