Took longer to grow than expected considering it is supposed to be auto. Also had to flip lights to really induce the flowering phase. Had some bud rot issues, but was totally my fault not the plants, and was still able to save it.

Reviews. Nutrient
Nutrients performed as advertised. Nothing bad to say about them. First grow so can't really compare to other brands.
Reviews. Lamp
Light performed excellently! Was very please with the light, gave off some heat as expected but not tons considering its led. Was easy to set up and use with the included timer. I might add the timer is very durable as it was dropped 6' and simply snapped back together and always worked. Every diode worked and lots of cord length to work with the drivers that can be on the light or detached. Overall very pleased, will buy mars lights again in the future when expansion time comes.

Well the grow is done! Yay! Success, I didn't kill any of them! Have only done small taste test on the buds so can't say to much about how well this strain is for smoking,etc. as it is still curing. As for growing, it took longer than expected, and didn't fully auto without my aid. With that being said, the only realy issue I had was bud rot, which was completely my fault (fan placement/ trimming techniques etc.). I will say that cropking seeds had excellent customer service when I contacted them to ask about the seeds and it not autoing right away, the lady I spoke to was very nice / polite / friendly and professional. They also sent me out a fresh pack of seeds for my troubles and in case these ones didn't produce. A++ for cropkindseeds!!! This was my first grow ever so overall I made mistakes here and there, but learned alot from this grow that I can apply on the next grows. Tried a few different techniques for training and learned a bunch there too. Very pleased the way things turned out considering all aspects and seeing the end result. I did an initial harvest of all top colas on all 3 plants and then left the rest of the plant to grow for about a week to really get some resin on the lower buds, followed by a second and final harvest later. Not sure how much more weight or resin or anything I got out of it compared to doing a single harvest but it was fun trying it anyways. Had alot of small "popcorn" buds - lesson learned for next time (trim those off and focus on tops more). Hang dried all the harvests for anywhere from 5 - 8 days before manicuring and jarring for curing process. **Note - wet weight listed is with all stems and leaves before any trimming** And that's it! Looking forward to the next grow which I just started 3 more plants! :) :)

Plants look healthy and there are some hairs visible, but no realy bud production yet. Plants are Northern Lights autoflower. I am wondering if it is normal to not see any bud growth at this stage of an autoflower as I've seen lots of other autos flowering in week 5?

IT's definitely not normal. Usually they veg for 3 to 4 weeks and go into flower. Sometimes they take longer, and in the rare occasion, they will not flower and you have to put them into 12/12. If it keep growing buds, good, if it doesn't, then go 12/12.

I'm curious about the information such as lamp to plant distance and plant height, etc that you enter for that specific week of the diary. Should we be entering the data for the beginning or the end of the week as the values differ as the week goes by. What's the consensus? Thx.

Hey Mate, You can handle this like you want. It gives an overview to the ones who visits your diary and have a look at your actual regime( light, pH, feeding etc.) If there's a problem. It makes helping so much easier if you have all the information. And you can track it of course for yourself, to check up later how you raised a certain Strain. Hope this helps. Good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way 🤞 Cheerz OimRausch ✌️

Anybody have any idea on the cause of my leaves getting brown spots and curling at the tips? It's really just on the big mature leaves and leaves near the buds. Any smaller and younger leaves are still fine. Maybe a nutrient issue? Or is it just that its close to harvest time?
