Germition: - Stored in fridge for about 1 month - Put into a glass of water, kept dark and at just around 20-22 degrees, until sinking, 24 hours - Put into wet paper towel between two plates, 24 hours - Planted 22/02/2020 - Day 1 (seedling): 25/02/2020 - Day 3 (seedling): 27/02/2020 - Installed new lights, updated diary details to match - Day 6 (seedling): 02/03/2020 - First watering, 1 L (Updated: Have ordered some new lights, that hopefully will arrive within a week or two. So will be running under a HLG 135 QB RSpec after a week or two. Will change the diary to that and note it in the weekly comment.)

I'm looking into hydroponics, and have been looking at the GHE waterfarm. But worried that with a pot being 37cm and my tent being 120cm, I'll run out of space. At least having to turn down my light to prevent bleaching or heat damage. Any advice on this?

I know exactly what you are dealing with. I run Dutch buckets so I lose a lot of height, so I have to have taller space. With your dimensions there will be issues with your height. You really need a taller tent, or go with a different setup like coco. Some plants stretch like crazy and it can totally kill the enjoyment that you should get out of the grow. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Discolored leaves at the bottom of a 3 week young auto flower, full feeding schedule in diary. Was thinking Cal-mag deficiency, but after 4 days of running 2mL/L Cal-mag supplements it's still getting worse. Could it be lack of phosphor, and will BioBizz FishMix/Grow be enough?

I see a nice growing Plant, with wonderful green color. and she looks like ready to go into flower. I wont do big actions on her now. Because she looks well balanced. Your feeding schedule looks good, i see no bigger Problem here. Just watch out that biogrow contains 8 percent N and calmag 2 percent. that is adding up. One of the products is enough. I would wait and watch.

So I'm a day into week 6 with my RQS Northern lights auto, and still no signs of switching into flowering. When should I start worrying that she might not flip by herself? I got a young auto seedling in the same tent, so going 12/12 is hard :/ Any other ways to force it?

I'm pretty sure this is over-watering, combined with some ScrOG training stress. But would of course love some input from some more experienced growers as well. Currently just letting her dry out a bit and then keeping more to a watering schedule.

See the puffy leaves? That's over watering. The clawing and yellow (burnt) tips is over feeding. Give it plain water for now and only once the soil dries up

So what should I do, there's no signs of switching in week 9! I've tried changing to 18/6 lighting, but have only been running it for a couple of days. Besides that she is really droopy and the soil feels really hard (maybe lots of roots). Any advice is appreciated :)

If water don't fix this its roots I've had this problem before. Your roots are smashed together so much she can't breath you need to look at the roots and see what they look like. If its solid. As a rock like you. Say. I'd. Get it wet and soft and. Run some small rods like a cig. Or smaller. All the way to the bottom very easy like to help let some air in there that has fixed mine. Before. I've also had to transplant when wet and carefully let as much soil as possible come off and add new soil as much as possible that's not like. Stone. If you gotta go cheap bro rocks and sticks. Will work good luck bro

I dont see bigger Problems here and I would just watch her. Doing anything now, may disturb her well balance. To me the little dot looks like alockout mark. So be sure if you feed . to feed into wet medium. I do it like this. I mix my beneficals ( in your case activera and the silicon) and water the plants. Then i do asmall batch of feeding solution and give it 30 mins later to the girls

@Mrs_Larimar, I've hold off on doing any bigger changes for now. She does seem to be doing well enough. I will try out with watering over two batches instead of just the single pour. But I do seem to have to water more frequently in this soil. Maybe I added too much perlite and it simply evaporates faster. Can't tell if it will be an issue later on when she gets more thirsty :P

@@Athos, good to hear. Been looking forward to try out this strain. True, and this lesson taught me to keep a watering/feeding log ;) Thanks for the quick replies, growing can be stressful when there's issues.

@aRecreationalist, it'll be fine. Every time we grow is a learning experience and not making the same mistakes twice will allow you to improve your yield every time.

aRecreationalistcommented5 years ago
@@Athos, will be keeping a better eye on the interval of my waterings. Think the loss of daily structure during this corona made me lose track. Now that she hopefully is recovering from this, what can I expect with this plant. Full recovery, or problems due to this? And if any problems, some suggestions to help her along?

Hi!! Dropping by to watch your grow👍 I'm currently growing the same strain, personally I'd wait another week before training, it'll start stretching out soon, by looking at other diaries on here if done to young these NL autos get stunted in growth. I have done some minimal lst on my plant at 3 weeks, drop in and have a look 👍

@Plur420, Just a little update, I decided to start some LST. She was just getting way too bushy.

@Plur420, I'll head over and check it out. My biggest problem is having only 120cm height to work with, and the LED i got tend to get them a little hot if too close 🙄
