D63: weather's been alternating between OK and pretty good the past 2 week Flowers are growing well and leaves continue yellowing, while the oldest ones started dropping from this week. Pistils are mainly brown, but judging from my photo's I'd say the trichromes are still transparent to slightly milky maybe? The pictures from my phone aren't perfectly sharp though, and it's my first growth as well, so I'm not really sure. I'll maybe let her go for a week longer or so. One of the next days I'll try taking some better pictures with a macro lens.

I'm considering topping my northern lights auto one of the following days, as it's starting to grow towards its 4th node. Most diaries I've seen for this strain take 12+ weeks, so that seems like it should have some time to recover from that. Anyone has any experience w auto top?

Yes, you can top auto-flowering plants that are growing fast and healthy as long as they haven’t started making buds yet. I top auto-flowering plants around week 3. If it hasn’t grown at least 4-5 nodes (pairs of “real” leaves) by the end of week 3, it may not be growing fast enough to handle topping without getting stunted. When it comes to growing auto-flowering cannabis strains, there is a lot of controversy about whether they are compatible with the cannabis training technique known as topping (cutting off the tip of the plant while its young). Some growers say you should never top an auto-flowering plant, while others claim they can top their autos without a problem. How can there be such a big difference in results between different growers? Well, here’s the thing about topping autos…. Auto-flowering cannabis plants are on a tight schedule! Most auto-flowering strains start flowering at 3-4 weeks, and have pretty much stop growing vegetatively by the time they’re 6-7 weeks old. It’s difficult or impossible to change the strain’s individual time schedule. It still takes a few more weeks until buds are ready for harvest, but in that time an auto-flowering plant generally won’t be growing new leaves and stems. An auto-flowering plant is “full size” at just 6-7 weeks from seed! Topping auto-flowering cannabis strains is often not recommended because they’re on a tight schedule and may not recover in time, but it can be done if your plant is growing fast enough during the first few weeks of growth. Auto-flowering marijuana strains have a short timeline, which is why it's usually recommended not to top them. And on top of all that, you don’t need to top your plants to get multiple tops. Autos can grow with just LST/bending and they all will have multiple tops. All that being said, sometimes topping an auto does go well. If you have a really healthy, fast-growing plant, topping it may not stunt it at all. In some situations, topping may produce a better structure and increase yields! So it’s not a matter of whether you should or shouldn’t top autos, as much as a matter of evaluating your situation and deciding if the reward is worth the risk for you!

Should I repot to a pot of 15-20l? I'm kinda regretting I planted it in a pot with +-4l of soil. I want to plant her out in full ground around week 5 when the belgian weather starts getting milder, and I'm not sure if it's worth repotting now for another 2-3w, given the risk.

as long as you have mostly leaves with three points means the plant is young enough to be repotted , it will get a bit of shock so make sure you dont flood or flush the plant with water and avoid anything else that can cause stress. Do it soon and you wont really have any adverse effects. Hope this helps ! 🚀

How much granular fertilizer should I give my north lights auto? I have a "general purpose" fertilizer (grains) which has an NPK of 6-3-3 and potassium grains with 2-0-20. I find it difficult to dose as it releases its nutrients over a period of 3 months... Gave 25g of 633 in w 3

My autoflower just started week 5 and she's looking really healthy. I was wondering if it would be beneficial to plant it out into full ground by the end of this week. Weather is supposed to be 20+ °C by then. Would the benefits of full ground outweigh the cost of "repotting" ?

Hey, So personally I think since you're already starting flowering that you're in a very crucial time....so i wouldn't repot. A 4 gallon isn't bad. If you had repotted a week or so ago there might have been time to recover. I'd just do a nice lollipop and let it get full sun.. *possibly start a new seed germinating now and as soon as it fills a solo cup(or starter pot) pop it straight in the ground. Happy flowering. ✌️

She's at day 34 now, and I'm wateriring her tomorrow. I have phosporous grains (6-16-0) and potassium grains (2-0-20). She's been in proflowering for about a week and I'm wondering what fertilisers I should add tomorrow. Just P or should I add some K as well? See details in diary

Salut le jardinier ! Utilise plutôt quelque chose chargé en azote si t'es en pré flo. Une fois en flo melange tes 2 engrais 50/50 pour avoir un mix parfait de floraison tu aura un npk de 8-16-20 grâce à ce mélange. Si tes granules sont à diffusion lente met les maintenant pour une meilleur action. Bonne chance bella ciao

My NL auto is at D40 and is growing well. She's developing a good lot of cola's with nice bud sites. Up untill now I've been able to tuck the leaves away, but it's getting more difficult to keep all bud sites cleared as she keeps growing. Should I tactically defoliate?

Hi buddy she looks great 😎👌. I would not cut away anything that looks healthy :-) every leaf that you remove now only interferes with photosynthesis. There are exceptions to extreme bushes, but I would definitely not lose any weight on your plants. Carry on as before and it will be very nice 👏🏻👍

She's at day 50 now and her pistils are already getting quite orangey/brown (see diary), which seems rather early to me, also compared to other diaries of her strain. How long (more or less ofcourse) would you reckon she still has before she should be harvested?

She's still a long way away yet. I would advise removing some of the lower fan leaves especially in the center and the yellowing ones. Keep feeding her and maybe 4 weeks later?

Its hard to tell without a clear close up picture but they look slightly milky. When trichomes are entering the "harvest window" they look like plastic, clear trichomes look more like glass. So based on what I see id say your entering that harvest period. If they're entering that window you could be harvesting in a week or two. Don't forget to flush roots! 😉 You could get a cheap Jeweler’s loupes on amazon and that would help you out. https://www.growweedeasy.com/harvest#trichome-method If you haven't already, I recommend this harvest tutorial. Its a bit of a read but its worth it. Skip to the jeweler’s loupe method to see a good example of trichomes ready for harvest also when to harvest for what effects you want. Good luck grower! 👊

@Knert, Hey :-) If you are not sure about the food, I would start with half :-). Always a little less than too much 👍

@MadeInGermany, hey man! Thanks for the reply on my question! But it doesn't completely answer it. They advise 75g/10L pot in general for plants in pots and 100g/m² for "average nutrient needy" vegetables like carrots, spinach,... But the thing is: these are doses that are meant to last for 3 months and you're supposed to feed them at once. What I'm thinkng is: I gave her 25g at day 18 along with a good watering. Now I'm waiting for the pot to become dry again (probably around D25 or so) and with next watering I'll feed her some additional fertilizer. Only thing is I don't know how much to optimally give. Maybe another 25g to be safe? Or should I add another 50g to get to the recommended amount for a 10L pot (which I guess is still alright since she's in a 15L pot)? Or should I feed even more and just flush her when I switch to flowering nutrients?

Why are you going to transpant her into open soil? I would try and keep her stress free, you don’t want a slow growing week during flower. Adnd your plant isn’t flowering yet, it’s pre flower. Give it 7 more days and it will be in flower. Good luck with the transplant.

@Knert, she’s in a 15L pot, that’s big enough. I wouldn’t be scared to get root bound. And as long as she’s in a pot you can place her in the sun and when it’s bad weather you can put her behind your window.. I’m growing a plant in a 11L pot and it’s going great. 👍

@Knert, Daarbij is het buiten ook nog te koud.

@CoastGrower, I thought that if I'd plant her in open soil she'd be able to expand her root system even more and that would give the flowering a boost. I spotted some root tips at the bottom of the pot and I thought it'd be a shame to stunt the growth by being root bound. But it's indeed quite a critical time for repotting and I'm maybe a bit to scared to do it. Don't want to mess up my first grow, definitely since she's looking really well right now

Looking good, although in the pictures the leaves are allways drooping? When I had these droopy leaves I wasnt feeding enough. But im a newb so dont listen to me :D
Knert

@@@NPKAllTheWay, this is also my first grow and I was worried about that as well when I first noticed. Actually the leaves are not always drooping, only from the moment the sun sets. I did a little research on that and apparently it's quite normal. There's no real evidence as to why exactly they do it, but as long as it only happens when it gets dark, there's nothing to worry about!

I'm considering topping my northern lights auto one of the following days, as it's starting to grow towards its 4th node. Most diaries I've seen for this strain take 12+ weeks, so that seems like it should have some time to recover from that. I'd combine it with continuing to feed it a vegetative growth boosting nutrients mix in week 5 & 6 instead of already switching to a blooming mix (as suggested here https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/accurate-information-about-autoflowering-plants.60678/), trying to give it as long as possible to grow vertically. Or should I just let it do its own way and not intervene? Any thoughts? Also, the weather is going to be quite cloudy the next week, don't know how that is going to impact its recovery (since I don't have a light installation). Last sidenote, I'm planning to plant them in full ground outside somewhere around week 5.
