This will be a fun week. Planning on doing some LST.
Day 15: 500 ml of water. Looking good. LST and light defoliation. I was pretty nervous at first, but found if I went slow, she was as pretty mailable.
Day 16: A little more LST and leaf tucking. She is looking great! No water today. Good growth, and she seems to be responding well to the LST.
Day 17. I added some homemade calmag today made with crushed egg shells and white vinegar at equal parts. I learned that trick by watching Bill Ward on YouTube. I added two teaspoons per gal along with 1 teaspoon per gallon of epsom salt. I added some worm tea concentrate, Great White, and one tablespoon/gallon of molasses to the water as well. Watered 500 ml.
Day 18. No water. A little more tucking.
Day 19. 750 ml of water. More leaf tucking.
Day 20. No water today. She does seem to be drinking more, but I'm going to hold off for at least another day. Leaf tucking continued, despite a warning in the back of my mind that I was messing with her too frequently. Time will tell.
Day 21. 750 ml water. I'm going to let her grow out a few days before thinking about anymore LST or defoliation. I did, however, tuck a few leafs.
This has been an exciting week for me. I find myself constantly drawn to the tent to see how the girls are doing. I enjoyed the LST and tucking, although I wonder if I started it too early. Time will tell.
Good luck with your grow! I'm getting good results from my Seedsman NL Auto. Seedsman seems to have good genetics. Just don't do what I did and overwater early!
@sbrosgrow, Yes, I water them everyday...a little bit.
For example, Day 9 I gave her 2/3 of a cup of water poured around the rapid rooter (not directly on the plant). Additionally, I poured one extra cup along the rim of the pot to help with the RH.
@@DrBoom, hmm okay, i had read method where i pre soaked the soil and then germinated in the final pot. Took about 4 days to pop through. I've got one Auto SD that looks great but my Auto NL idk if anything is wrong but to me something doesn't seem right. Maybe it needs more water or something, but I haven't given it its second drink yet. Gonna probably do that today. I've just seen some other pictures of this strain and now my little guy feels behind the curve haha
@sbrosgrow,Yes, with very small amounts. About 1/3-2/3 cup per day. I don't want to drown the plant and I want the roots to seek out water. From what I see so far, you just have to eyeball it.
