10/21 Leaving things alone except doing final nutes before flush. I figure I am two weeks out from considering harvest. Watching heat situation in Cali right now, as we may have some heat again... but generally things have cooled off enough to where I can leave all three lights on and temps stay OK. I do worry that some terpenes etc may have evaporated in the high temps, but its not like I can move anything now, so it is what it is. ;)
Yesterday I defoliated the big VF plant, taking off fan leaves that were shading or looked ugly. I also cut off suckers that had no chance of being legit flowers.
The outdoor White Widow is going to be fluffy and not anything to write home about, or so I think at this point. Hard to say.
I feel positive about this grow. I learned a lot about what to do and what not to do. The next grow will be a lot more technical and using a test strain of auto and new lighting schedules. Should be fun. Looking forward to posting the seedling stage soon. I hope to have faster growth and better LST.
More pics soon.

Just checked the plants since its been about 24 hrs since last nutes dropped on them. Everyone is happy so my dosing isnt too awful, that's good. Clones from WW are taking, see roots already on 3-4 of them, have to choose two from each pheno. I don't even know if I will grow them, but I can have six plants in Cali, so I will choose two from the four if I decide to veg them. Autos seem more appealing in the short term, especially over Winter. The outdoor White Widow is putting on some crystals and the flowers are getting fatter, but nothing to get crazy about. Nice to see the buds growing in a natural setting, just wish I had more sun in the spot. Only getting about 8 hours on them outside, and my lights inside are brighter than the sun at this time of year. (measured with meter) Maybe I will get 4-5 grams or less.
The Vanilla Frosting is going bonkers, I de-foliated a bunch more useless leaves and every time I do that now, I get rewarded with all this new flower growth. Starting to shape up into some really amazing smelling buds and I think we will harvest in two weeks, which is actually right about on time. I am guessing I get a little 30-35 grams dry weight, but two weeks is a long time, and I have been souping up the nutes lately, maybe more? Re-potting == WIN, SCROG==WIN, All that vegging time == WIN, well sort of, I could have done better had I known more about lighting. I will be happy if I get anything over 45 grams.
The Northern Lights Auto just keeps putting on weight, for a non LST, single plant in about 2 gallons soil, this plant is a great performer, especially when you consider all the screw ups, and heat issues I have had. My first auto will probably give me 3-5 grams if I am lucky dry weight, maybe even more!
I have recently received a lumen meter. Measuring 78,600 lumen over canopy, is that OK? For my other grow, does anyone know how many lumens seedlings need (at about 25000 now) ? I can convert from PPFD or PAR. Educate me! Thanks
about 250-350 Umol or ppfd for Seedlings. 700-1000 Umol Veg and 1000-2000 Umol. Anything above 1000 umol Co2 is recommended.. The idea that having too much light causing damage is a more of myth or poor idea. The light intensity increases transportation to a point where the plant can not keep up with the amount of available light..
Anyone experienced enough to identify what the TexMX strain might be (bag weed that was awesome from Xmas '19)? It seems like Indica to me, but I am a noob.
Lights on day, my temps are perfect, and my humidity is 55-59% at 74-80 degrees F. Night, temps drop to the 60s and humidity goes up to 70-78%. Bought tiny dehumidifier to add, and I could also small heater. Is 70-78% gonna mess me up? Indoor/Outdoor And Winter is coming. ;)
Temps and RH do vary depending on lights on or lights off. When lights off temp should only drop about 10 degrees to prevent any stress. As far the RH at night problem you can get a dehumidifier to fix that. Hopefully I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
I just re-potted my vanilla frosting in the midst of flowering. It was from an airpot and the roots and everything held up perfectly. I am curious what to expect and watch out for. I have never transplanted like this during such a crucial time. See grow for pics 24h afterwards
How long til harvest for the Vanilla Frosting? I don't want to pull too early, I'm thinking two weeks. All but one are labeled Vanilla Frosting. I am hoping to finish by Nov 6-7 https://darkheartnursery.com/strains/vanilla-frosting/ says 8-9 weeks.
hi you will be very close with your harvest time, looks to be about right. check your trichomes if you can. other wise you want to see most of the hairs or stigmas turn brownish reddish. they are the white hairs right now. you have a wonderful grow and you will be very happy when you harvest in a few weeks
@Ferenc, wow, thanks a lot, I just wish I had more space to really do this for realz. Man your grows look amazing, too good! Thanks for the encouragement, means a lot coming from someone with experience.
