Im aware Northern Lights is an indica but this particular NL handled the HST topping in week 3 very well. I went away for a week and came back to this plant healthy as ever (thanks to my wonderful girl friend who watered them on my strict schedule haha). I also switched my bloom lights on to get the tent up to full wattage . The co2 bag Is boomin , really glad I got one because the leafs pray up to the light and I that's what im looking for. The growth is also more vigorous than I've ever seen so regardless of what online says I think adding a co2 bag is 100% beneficial. I purchased recharge and cal mag to add on top my my mammoth P. Mammoth P is like a laser guided missile aimed towards targeting phosphorus growth while Recharge is like a bomb with many microbial benefits for the soil. Im seeing mega growth on all my autos more so than the others prior to this so I think im digging this feeding schedule for my autos a lot. I will start NFTG next week . very lightly introducing it.
2/11/20- Did LST to widen her up and expose the smaller branches that had been covered by leaves. No defoliation at all just bending big fan leaves.
2/12/20- Watered with Recharge (double the strength), Cal Mag, and Mammoth P at 6.5 Ph
2/13/20- Doing my best in trying to even out this canopy. I think I topped it at the optimal point because I noticed no set back what so ever and the shoots are growing rapidly / evening out naturally.
2/15/20- I can't believe how fast this plant is growing even with the HST back in week 3. I put a tomato cage around her because she looks like she is going to be heavy and to keep on the LST to even out this canopy. I fed with NFTG for the first time on day this day (day27) the early veg feed schedule.
Hi there. I see you have a 400watt led and running at 18 inch distance, is that at flower stage? I ask because my 400watt led burns at anything lower than 30 in veg.
@Dday314, Hey I actually don't know why that was set to 400w! I have 2x200w LEDs with only the veg switches on which knocks it from 400w to 200w approximately. I have the light probably 16-20 inches away from veg growth depending on the week. Depending on your tent size Id recommend dimming your light if you can or just using the veg switch like I do. You don't need much during veg I run 25w a sq/ft in my 3x3 with good results π
@JinksyGrows, Yah man! starting to learn how finicky this plant really can be but this particular one is a champ! might try topping her if she keeps up like this.
