Nothing new to report from last week. Getting to the last few weeks so upped the flower nutes to max and using every water. Will be keeping a close eye on the deficiency and hope upping the nutes help. Flowers have came on great this past week, looking forward to what the next week brings. Day 54 - came to the conclusion that my deficiencies are being caused by a ph problem. I've been watering with biobizz without checking the ph as it says you don't need to adjust. That's only if your using biobizz soil though! The ph of my water with nutes is 5.8 so I've added baking soda the past 2 waters to bring it up to around 7. Will water once more at 7 then adjust so ph of water is about 6.5. Hope I've not done too much damage!

Bhoy1888started grow question 6 years ago
Few of the older leaves have started going yellow with brown spots and shriveling up. I'm in week 7, week 3 of flower. I've been alternating nutes with Plain ph'd water, so only been adding nutes every 2nd water. Have now changed to every water. Is this just due to flowering? Ta

Looks partly like a nitrogen deficiency to me. It also being the oldest growth/not receiving much light also plays a factor. Its to be expected, as long as new growth is green and healthy, nothing to worry about. Hope that helps.

Day 24 - It's growing really bushy, is there anything I should do to help it along? There seems to be 5 main growths in the light, 6 if you include one hidden under a main one

Looks good ! I'm interested in how the plant will react after the topping. In your case it's a good idea since you're limited in height, but i've always been afraid that the plant would need to much time to recover and therefore losing a lot of height.

@Bstoner, yeah i think i will depending on how big it starts growing. The lower down growth nodes from nodes 2 and 3 are starting to stretch quite a bit so need to try and get them some extra light. I'm actually surprised how well it's doing, it's in a fridge in my garage, check it once a day and water it when soils dry and it seems to be thriving. Quite shocked how well it's going for hardly any input from me

@Bhoy1888,NorthernLight is a strain that tends to get big, so topping it surely was the right call here :D Are you gonna do some sort of LST aswell ?
Bhoy1888
Bhoy1888
@Bstoner, not too bothered about the loss in height as long as I get 2 main colas. I've probably only got around another 40cm of growth before I hit my height limit. Had a peek this morning before lights went out and the 2 new colas have shown some growth in the space of 24 hours. Will post some more photos tonight

Nice grow man! i'm growing 7 autoflowers from RoyalQueenSeeds now. Good luck with your grow. 🙌

@grow_ur_own, cheers mate. I was limited in head space so topped the plant and ended up with 5 main colas. It's hard to see from the pics but each of the colas has flowers all the way down to the main stem of the plant, im really impressed!

What's the white pipe between your plant and the moisture meter on the right side?
Bhoy1888
Bhoy1888
@burnerac, it's a greenhouse heater, cause the fridge is out in the garage the temperature quickly drops inside when the lights go out. Got a temp controller so it comes on at 20 degrees and keeps the fridge about 20/21. Temps would drop to about 7/8 degrees otherwise.

Looking excellent! Were you planning on finishing them under mixed color or red CFLs, or do you have another fixture in mind for flowering? Liked and followed -- first grows are exciting and scary!
Bhoy1888
Bhoy1888
@Jaindoh, going to finish under warm coloured cfl's. They're under 8000k just now and will revert to 2700k later in flowering. All in the equipment only cost me around £30 (including seeds). I had the majority of it lying around

Superlative! Count me as truly impressed. A+++ First grow, and in a fridge! Here's to a heavy harvest in your future!

@Jaindoh, cheers very much buddy. I'm really impressed with how it's went as well. Only downside from the fridge is lack of headspace, but topping it and some lst provided me with 5 main colas! Only problem I ran into was a bit of deficiency/nute lockout. It's only been getting slightly worse, and as I'm so close to harvest I'm not too bothered. Chopped one of the smaller buds off today and came out at 5.1g wet. Reckon each of the main colas is maybe pushing 20/25g wet so hoping for a touch over an ounce when dry. Been a good learning experience

Nice grow i like the fridge idea. I myself started with CFL a couple years ago now experimenting with cheap common screw in Led bulbs. Plan on following as i like your style 👍.
