Northern Lights Auto 07/2020 (Grow 2)

Start of Week: Day 1 Intro: Hello fellow grower! This is going to be my second grow. I’m still in the flowering stage of my first, but I want to try and get another grow done hopefully before Halloween, so I’m going to start on my next one now. I bought a few different seeds when I was going to start my first grow, so I am going to put six seeds in coco coir: two OG Kush from Seedsman, two Blueberry from ILGM, one Northern Lights also from ILGM, and one Lemon from Seedsman. All seeds are auto flowering. My plan is to germinate in water and place the seeds directly into their final pots. And since this is only my second grow I want to do some more experimenting. I’m going to be using four 1-gallon pots (one for each strain) and two 3-gallon pots (one for an OG Kush plant and one for a Blueberry) and I am planning on keeping them in these pots till harvest. I know that this will restrict the plants growth and might stunt them, but I’ve seen a few journals using only 1-gallon pots that had great results. Yields might be small, but if I’m successful I will have four different strains of flower going into the holiday season. I will be doing some training in this grow; mostly bending and tucking. But I’ve also seen some good results from topping autos, so depending on the growth rate I’m going to top some if not all the plants. Happy growing! [07/21: With the exception of one Blueberry seed and the Northern Lights seed, none of the seeds have germinated. I gently applied pressure to try and get them going by opening them slightly, then I potted them. I’m going to keep watering for about a week or two and see if anything happens. I want to point out that I didn’t properly store my seeds after I got them. I just left them on my desk, so I don’t think this shows an accurate representation of germination rates for the seeds. Hopefully they get going.] I placed one Northern Lights Auto seed in lukewarm tap water at 12am on 07/18. The seed opened about 60 hours later (07/20), so I place it in a 1-gallon pot of coco coir soaked in plain water at 6.11pH. Since then I gave the seeds a few drops of plain water about every 12 hours.
