Northern Light Automatic RQS

Nicblackk The first 3 photos correspond to the day after planting them. On day 4 of germination (day 1 of vegetative), the cotyledons are already breaking through the soil. Day 0: The first watering was done when planting them in the substrate. The pots were filled halfway and 500 mL of dechlorinated water was added (for this, the water is kept for at least 24 hours in open containers to allow the chlorine to evaporate into the air). Then the rest of the pot was filled with soil. A hole was made in the middle with the pinky finger of 1 or 2 millimeters, the seed was inserted (using tweezers to avoid touching the roots with fingers), and it was carefully covered with soil. Next, it was watered with 1 L of dechlorinated water mixed with 0.2 mL of B.A.C root stimulator (without adjusting the pH). --> The mixture was made in a 5 L jug of H2O with 1 mL of the stimulant. Day 1: Spray the area with dechlorinated water to maintain high humidity. Day 2: Spray the area with dechlorinated water to maintain high humidity. Day 3: Second watering of the week. Watered with 0.5 L (500 mL) of dechlorinated water mixed with 0.1 mL of B.A.C root stimulator. The pH was adjusted to 6.2. Day 4: Spray the area with dechlorinated water to maintain high humidity. Day 5: Spray the area with dechlorinated water to maintain high humidity. Day 6: Third watering of the week. Watered with 0.5 L (500 mL) of dechlorinated water mixed with 0.1 mL of B.A.C root stimulator and 1 mL of Sensi Grow Part A and 1 mL of Sensi Grow Part B (Advanced Nutrients). The pH was automatically adjusted to 6.3. The PPM = 800 = 1.25 EC. Day 7: Spray the area with dechlorinated water to maintain high humidity. The third leaves are starting to come out. The first 2 cm of soil was removed from the surface of the pot as it was starting to grow algae. It was filled with new soil and sprayed to moisten it a bit.

Nicblackk Day 8: Nothing was done. Day 9: Watered each plant with 300 mL of dechlorinated water mixed with B.A.C. root stimulator and 2 mL of Sensi Grow Part A and 2 mL of Sensi Grow Part B (Advanced Nutrients). The pH was automatically adjusted to 6.3. PPM = 850 = 1.3 EC. The openings of the grow cabinet were opened to try to reduce the temperature during the day as small wrinkles were observed on the surface of the leaves. Day 10: Nothing was done. Day 11: Watered each plant with 300 mL of dechlorinated water mixed with B.A.C. root stimulator and 3 mL of Sensi Grow Part A and 3 mL of Sensi Grow Part B (Advanced Nutrients). The pH was automatically adjusted to 6.3. PPM = 850 = 1.3 EC. Day 12: Nothing was done. Day 13: Nothing was done. Day 14: Watered each plant with 400 mL of dechlorinated water mixed with B.A.C. root stimulator and 4 mL of Sensi Grow Part A and 4 mL of Sensi Grow Part B (Advanced Nutrients). The pH was adjusted to 6.1. PPM = 960 = 1.5 EC.

Nicblackk Mix in approximately 5 liters. Water each plant with 400 mL. (in a 5 L bottle add: 1 mL of BAC roots + 4*5 (20) mL of Sensi Grow A + 4*5 (20) mL of Sensi Grow B. The EC should be between 1.4 and 1.5 = 896 and 960 PPM. When I did this, the PPM was very high, so I added dechlorinated water until the PPM (EC) was correct. It ended up at 960 for the watering on day 14. Day 15: Nothing was done. Day 16: Watered with 400 mL. pH = 6.3. PPM = 960. Day 17: Nothing was done. Day 18: Watered with 400 mL. pH = 6.03. PPM = 1000. Day 19: Nothing was done. Day 20: Nothing was done. Day 21: Watered with 400 mL. pH = 6.3. PPM = 1040.

Nicblackk Day 22: Nothing was done. Day 23: Watered with 500 mL for each plant. Added 4 mL/L of Sensi Grow A and B (Advanced Nutrients) and 0.2 mL of BAC root stimulator. Day 24: Nothing was done. Day 25: Watered with 600 mL for each plant. Added 4 mL/L of Sensi Grow A and B (Advanced Nutrients) and adjusted the pH to 6 and the EC to 1.5. Day 26: Nothing was done. Day 27: Nothing was done. Day 28: Watered with 600 mL for each plant. Added 4 mL/L of Sensi Grow A and B (Advanced Nutrients) and adjusted the pH to 6 and the EC to 1.55.

Nicblackk Day 29: Nothing was done. As an observation, the stems have thickened a lot (will attach photo), specifically, there are some swollen bumps forming with a whitish epidermis right at the branch's insertion to the main stem. Flowering light was put in. Day 30: Watered with 800 mL for each plant. Day 31: Defoliated up to the 4th/5th node. Day 32: Watered with 800 mL for each plant. Day 33: Nothing was done. Day 34: Nothing was done. (The white light was only used in the photos just to take the pictures, the red and blue were also on the rest of the time). Day 35: Watered with 900 mL for each plant. The surface of the soil had to be scraped with a spoon, carefully, as it had compacted a bit and the water wasn't draining well.

Nicblackk Day 36: Nothing was done. Day 37: Watered with 1 L to each plant. Day 38: Nothing was done. Day 39: Watered with 1 L to each plant. Day 40: Nothing was done. Day 41: Watered with 1.2 L to each plant. (Originally, they were scheduled for watering tomorrow, but some basal leaves have started to turn yellow, so it was done early). Day 42: Nothing was done.

Nicblackk Day 43: Watered with 1.2 L to each plant. The basal part was defoliated, both primary and secondary leaves. Day 44: Nothing was done. Day 45: Watered with 1.2 L to each plant. Day 46: Nothing was done. Day 47: Watered with 1.2 L to each plant. This time Sensi CalMag Xtra (Advanced Nutrients) was also added. Day 48: Nothing was done. Day 49: Watered with 1.2 L to each plant.

Nicblackk Day 50: Nothing was done. Day 51: Watered with 1.2 liters to each plant. Day 52: Nothing was done. Day 53: Watered with 1.2 L to each plant. Day 54: Watered with 600 mL to the plants with the soil surface already dry. Day 55: Watered with 600 mL to the plants with the soil surface already dry.

Nicblackk I watered each plant with 600 mL every day, except for some days when I applied 1.2 L (depending on the substrate). It's still growing very well, and the overdrive from Advanced Nutrients is doing wonders for the buds.

Nicblackk Everything is still fattening up perfectly, however, I do notice that the amount of trichomes isn't as abundant as in the other strain I planted, but I think that's partly due to the thickness of the buds as well as being exposed too briefly and directly to the light source. Some pistils are already starting to show brown tones, I’ll probably start the salt removal next week (on Sunday).
