Hey there it actually the first week of flowering. After I topped her and LST, the plant get bigger and is now a very decent sized automatic one. The strecht was good I think its almost over as white pistils are getting "numerous". I will probably defiolate a little if some leaves block some buds from the light. I now expect a decent harvest and I feel conforted with the idea that stressing automatic, is in an overall better than letting them alone.

Hello fellow growers ! Sorry this diary will not be complete as I didnt took pic all the grow. This one is about the story of an automatic Northern light from RQS. I grew a northern light from another breeder just before this one and it was utterly disapointive with a 10 grams dry harvest 😤. So I grew this one full of rage and looking for payback j/k no I just tried to push the plant a little in order to get something decent in the end. As the plant grew it was clear that I should have done a diary so I decided to start now if it still can help someone somewhere then it would worth the case. So I let her grow her way and it was good, no dicesases and all but the size of the trunk was telling me "dude Im not very big, the harvest will be bs". I m not very experienced with auto and I was believing folks telling me to let auto alone because the stress was bad for the harvest. I grew some and those I let alone were deceptive to be honest and those I add to bend, to defoliate etc where giving great harvest so I was sceptical. Having harvest a poor 10g with a NL auto before I thought that if I stress this one it couldnt get smaller so I gave a try. I topped her at day 21, the day after the trunk was already bigger and it keep on growing so far, wonderful. I cut the bottom branches and did a LST on day 25, it made the branches stronger bigger too.

Hi amigos The plant keep on building those sweet colas, the smell is getting nice and everything is good. Will check to defoliate a little by the week end. Stay tuned for some update and remember to keep your plants sufficiently hydrated.

Hey The plant is entering her sixth week of flowering. We did more than half way and she is doing great. Very smelly, healthy and with many buds. Ill just keep feeding her with Plagron, Terra Bloom, Sugar Royale and Green sensation. Will cut few leaves for the buds having maximum light. So far this is one of the most interesting NL Ive done, but only the smoke test could confirm.

Week 8 of flowering We are reaching the end, just a week or a little more before the end. I will do no flush as I read stuff about flush not really proving any benefit. She is beautiful, the buds are huge and smelly with lot of resin The topping seems interesting for this strain and I recommend to stress this strain.

Just cut it down Did it a bit early because some leaves were showing weird looking Put to the trash some low level buds that clearly didnt receive light Harvest is good, lots of big bud now I wait till its dry and will update later. Now its dry and its more than what I thought. Pretty happy about that. The weed is really sticky full of resin, theres cristals everywhere. She is sweet in mouth, the smoke doesnt make me cough and the high appears 10 minutes after and I feel relaxed and not stressed. Thats a good plant really worth the grow.
