Day 75 for these two Aurora Indicas. Everything looks great, and the canopies are starting to look really nice. The damage from HST seems long gone. The plants definitely seem subtly different in terms of the bushiness and slenderness of leaf fingers. I’m hesitant to claim phenotype, as I feel “phenotype” is thrown around way too often especially without growing out clones to see if traits repeat closely, but I have tracked which clones have come off of which. Middle Aurora is ‘A,’ end Aurora is ‘B.’ I’d appreciate some rain this week. The projected high today was 30 degrees Celsius, the daytime length is 15hours48minutes.
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.
