Hello GD and the beautiful peoples who share knowledge and supporting each other in this beautiful community i hope everybody having fantastic week. I decided to germinate 4 seeds in a cup of water . im gonna keep the seedlings in this cup for 24 hours then i will transfer to the soil. my tent size is 1m x 1m x 1,8m. after i checked zannabis Led grow diary i really decided to buy some LED lights and bought 1000W china LED. i also have 600W HPS so its mean i will have some serious light in this tent. i highly do not want to do any highstress training on this ladies i hope tent size can be enough bec last time my OG Auto reach 2m and i did supercrop on her which really i never wanted. Anyway apologize for my bad grammer😁 Thanks for supportings and helps. Best wishes for all of you people Happy Grows. 08-02-2018 Germination starts in cup of water 09-02-2018 The Shells are cracked and i changed my mind to use coco pots and rockwool and i dropped 4 seeds in to the main pots (20L) then i mist voodoo juice+piranha+tarantula and its ph'd 6.5 11-02-2018 i can see seedling 12-02-18 Officially Day 1 at the top of the soil ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Northern Lights is Indica-dominant marijuana plant and result of the crossing between Northern Lights and a very energetic Canadian Ruderalis. This autoflowering strain has a compact size. It reaches a height no more one meter, presents impressive crops results and a long lasting effect. Its resinous and compact buds has 18% THC and 1.4% CBD. So it has medical use against muscle aches, relaxing muscules, against a stress, opening the positive side of life, against migraines, insomnia, spasms, and all manner of pain. The smoke has a sweet taste like a vanilla candy. The plant will be ready for the harvest in 50 to 56 days producing 250 grams per plant in such short period. The growing is easy. If you give plants more hours of light, you will have the best result. The plant is bushy and full of buds with blue and purple tones. Feminised Genes Indica/ruderalis Genetics NL x Ruderalis Harvest 450 - 500 g/m2 Flowering 8-9 weeks THC High CBD High

Firstly great job on the grow it looks amazing! First question it says your solution temp is 34f. Is that correct? If so that is way too cold. It should be between 65f-70f. Is the soil super dry or super moist? It looks to just be a lack or excess of watering. Hope this helps!

She get one more flush bec her dark green leaves and burning tips and also her flower production rate is slow 08/05/18 added some bacterias to the soil and after my research about her taco-ing leaves and browning on the tips looks like magnesium deficiency and added some cal-mag supplement 2ml per liter, feeded bacterias with carboload liquid and added silica supplement to the container. but no nitrogen feed anymore because she just slowly start to turn lighter colours on the leaves which is normal :) and thanks for @pharmaz for advices its improved the recover rate of the plant. Thx everyone who follows and supports have a good week!

Nice aroma and smoothy smoke, but airy buds. ill 100% cultivate her again for better results. She had sweety aroma on her and effects are pretty high for day time. Effects are coming after around 10 minutes and takes around 1 and half between 2 hours (head) but chilling and relaxing effects on body takes longer.

She had perfect start and i mistaken main lined on her, my fim was failed and switched her to main line and 2 weeks after that she start have too much slow grow rate and at the flowering stage she almost get stunted. @PharmaZ thanks for the advices because after i flushed her with warm water and added regiment with quarter dosage she start get serious filling on the bud size but ofcourse as not expected. ill definitely will try grow her 1 more time because probably i did many mistakes on her feeding program and somehow make some nutrient lacks and stunted the grow. AT last stages of growth she produce nice THC cystals and get veryy good sweety smell. She harvested at day 110 but i guarantee it she were need at least 2 more weeks for proper maturize. for me this is very long stage for an auto.

@Kindbudz, @dudegrowsweed, @stick, thank you guys for prompt reply and helps, my solution temperature is not 34F bec i never check that maybe filled the box by mistaken, actually her lower leaves are not affected by overwatering before room goes dark usually i can see she is more droopy (2hours before light go off) BUT after lights on after 6 hours she slowly starting to looks normal but doing same thing after 15 hours later before 2hours to lights go off
PharmaZ
PharmaZcommented7 years ago
@flyingfish, I’m sorry but watering when the lights “just go off” is a bad advice. Especially if you’re growing photoperiod plants. The only type of water that should be applied when the lights are off is foliar feeding✌️🏻
flyingfish
flyingfishcommented7 years ago
@@frags, friend better you go watering just before the lights switch off. That's the best way to water any plant. Also the foliar spraying is better at that hours. I believe maybe that phenomenon is mostly because of the strain and where this strain should grow or not. I have two plants in the same area and the Blueberry does nothing but Anesthesia does excactly the same with that you describe. I always go watering one or two hours before the lights switching off. When my soil is dry is not so much droopy but when the soil is moist then it is too much droopy. I also have high temperatures. So what the meaning of all these? :)
frags
fragscommented7 years ago
@Kindbudz,im watering at least 3 liter per week for each plant at least few hours later after lights on, i just tried to say that plant always droopy but before lights go off more droopy

You what up frags looking good, did you flush before enter flower? Looks like you’ve got loads of N stored In the leaves shinny dark green✌️🏻
PharmaZ
PharmaZcommented7 years ago
@@frags, yes I would do the same. It’s not too late at all because from my perspective you have at least 4 weeks left. And I think the reason for slow development is too much access to N during flowering. Keep flushing till the leaves lighten up. You could alternate flower feeds for the next 2 weeks (just make sure you add no Nitrogen). Then be sure to flush well for further 2 weeks only water before harvest✌️🏻

@PharmaZ, do you suggest me after flush let the soil dry and feed with nuts or direct after the flush i may add? Thanks man!

PharmaZ
PharmaZcommentedweek 117 years ago
Directly after bro,2 step flush. Step 1 water so the pot is drenched water should be warmer but not hot. Wait 5-10 mins. Then water again so all the first load of minerals that dissolved are able to be released from soil. Then once you have washed out the majority of the soil. You can add a full strength feed to a smaller bottle of water and add that. That’s how I would do it👍🏼

I’d assume it’s overwatering. I’m guilty of it too. Trying to find the right balance when watering is tricky. The good thing is it’s easy to start watering less 😉
