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

Really pleased with rqs seeds, was a top plant and even though it was an auto gave good results from topping and lst. Would like to see how tall it would have grown if I had the headroom, but gave me 5oz wet so hoping for at least 2oz when dry, not bad for a first attempt in a fridge!

Were good and provided plant with enough nutrients though they created a ph problem later in flowering cause I wasn't using biobizz soil. All in I'm pleased with the product.

Really easy to grow, basically forgot about it the past week while I was flushing. The small sample I chopped off last week gave me a really good high, really pleased with how it went. For a 1st grow it proved pretty painless! I have a photoperiod red Dragon which I'll try next.
Have achieved 126 grams wet so hoping for at least half of that when dry. It's currently back in the fridge with the heater on at 19 degrees Celsius, will check again in 3 days and then start to cure. Have really high hopes as the sample I chopped off 10 days ago blew my mind, an extra 10 days fattening up will hopefully push the quality over the edge.
Tried some of the older bud tonight. The extra 10 days really made a difference. That's it dried out now and during, leaving overnight gives a humidity of 75% after a couple hours of lid of it drops to about 65%. Will keep doing this until the humidity stabilised in the mid 60's0

Bhoy1888started grow question 7 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.

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 ?

@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

@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?

Bhoy1888commented7 years ago
@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!

@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

@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 👍.
