Very short and bushy. Still my favourite to look at. I have good hopes for this auto. Very indica looking so far, if it holds up I'll probably look to push the flowering time and try to get a good amount of amber in her. A nice amber indica is the plan, let's try to stick to it.
Small feed on day 16
The other autos showed first hairs the last couple days, this one was the last at day 19
Still my favourite to check in on. Very wide leaves still and very tight spacing. We'll how she stretches now that she's flowering and I put her under the HPS instead of MH.
LST'd day 20 to let light hit the branches.
Switched to HPS bulb Day 21 so some pics might turn out more orange than others if my phone can't white balance right.
Gonna add some big bud in this week and next. Not sure how these nutrients will affect autos as I've heard they take less but seem to enjoy the regular veg nutes I gave them twice.
With her flowering a few days later than the others she'll have to grow fast to hit the 55 day window 😛
Removed a few leaves later in the week to let light hit the lower branches.
Starting to stretch nicely. Like how even the canopy is as it grows. Very weak smell, almost nothing when you crush up a leaf. Still my favourite of the four
Still no strong smell from this plant. Hairs starting to come out after stretching last week.
I think she has a beautiful compact shape, hope she fills out
Leaves keep yellowing even though it's a little early.
Give her another half strength ferts d49. The measurements I give are per 5gallon pail of water, ends up about half strength.
Still no real smell, but she's filling out nicely.
right now my tents a little warm during the day so I'm thinking of moving to a better ventilated area.
d52 Nope, turns out the dust cover on my carbon filter was dirty at after two months. Took it off and temps dropped two degrees. Wow time for a wash
d55, This was supposed to be her harvest date. Tent is healthy 25c now, yellowing has slowed, was likely transpiring too much. probably another 2-3 weeks left. I feel like some breeders market autos from flower date, and others do it from germination from soil. My northern lights of the same age are basically done, one is a few days behind but very close to the 55 day mark. This one is still very nice to me even though the NL look chunky in person already. I feel her few main colas will swell up in the coming weeks and she'll be solid.tight.thick.
Day 56, The supposed harvest date was yesterday, starting to get fatter each day, probably at least 2 more weeks. Maybe this strain was measured from start of flower instead of germination. Can never know how the breeders measure the days.
Really like how solid the cola is looking.
Small thrip problem right now as well, but I got some IPM going. Got some soil-mites to deal with the thrip larvae as they hatch and they also deal with soil gnats and hibernating spider mites so I'll have less flying annoyances after the mites start doing their job and start feeling at home. Went with Stratiolaelaps scimitus, mites that live in the soil to prevent more bugs from crawling on my plants and shitting in the bud and using IPM prevents having to use sprays like pesticides.
Healthy soil, healthy plants
a little as it's cold here and the room the tent is in gets down to 15-16c at night. The air is also dry af
This is great, cannabis loves low humidity and a good 10 degree difference in day/night temps in flowering.
Swelling up nice. Doesn't really smell unless handled.
Broke a branch while I was moving the pot but I just twist tied her stem back up and she's fine. Swelling up nice maybe two weeks left which is good timing. Northern lights tomorrow, Northern lights next week, then perhaps this plant and the blue dream the week after.
D73, chopped the Northern lights, this one's swelling up nice. Hard to decide if this one will finish before the 2nd Northern lights. This one's finishing real fast this week
This plant is still probably my favourite from all the for autos that I grew. She doesn't have a lot of Bud on her but her main cola is a footlong stick of bud. The stems are pink the leaves are yellow and the bud is green. It's such a pretty plant with nice structure, although this stems are a little weak and I ended up breaking one.
I'm going to harvest my last Northern lights this week and this plant will get the chop next Monday. She's losing all her fan leaves naturally so this looks to be the easiest trim I'll ever do.
D81, still losing leaves. Ngl I actually think I won't have to trim this one haha
Chop either tomorrow, Monday, or Tuesday. Not entirely sure as the Northern Lights is just finishing up in the drying tent. Stems are beautiful colour, all the fan leaves have fallen off, she looks ready to go.
Great plant to grow, ended up a little small likely due to my own error.
Smelled nice up close, but didn't really give off much scent.
Had nice colouration, the stems were pink and the bud was starting to change, but I didn't get it cold enough.
The leaves all fell which was kind of nice, makes trimming super easy.
