Day 24 for the two soon to be outdoor Aurora Indicas. Root growth was good this week, you can tell when a plant hits its stride. Last week, immediately after photos I noticed some pests munching away on these two. I can tolerate the odd pest or aphid, I usually am proactive in treating, but here they were feasting stress free. No concerns at all for their little insect world. This was not going to stand, so I sprayed them down with 90+ ethyl alcohol moonshine. Because they are young, they were going to take leaf damage, and this has decreased the visual niceness to them.
When you mention a hard leaf fade and maintaining nitrogen at the end what is your thinking? I’ve wondered about adding some N during late flowering but I’ve read that make the buds too loose. It feels like I could do more for flowering but I want to stay organic. I haven’t tried aerated compost teas yet so I guess that’s the next thing to try.
I’m at 53N (Edmonton) and I think I will mostly stick with autos as the sunlight fades too quickly in the fall for photoperiods. Frost isn’t the real problem here but lack of sun. Force flowering works but covering or moving plants everyday is a pain in the ass. You were dedicated moving it daily. Good job.
