A step back recently:
Started a final flush (2 days in), and decided to start feeding her again - thanks to some great GD input!
250 ppm at re-start and will work my way to 500ppm? She's still rockin' along - like nothing happened.
She topped out at 350 ppm without tanking PH, so she is stable here.
PH is now swinging down fairly quickly last 12 hours. Drained off 1/3 of reservoir and get reservoir down to 250PPM.
5 days later, major PH swings down again. Mixed another fresh reservoir. I am using Zero Water 5 gallon system, and just realized the PPM coming out was 100, and PH at 3! If I am at 100 today, that means these filters have been shot for a while, maybe since start of my PH issue. There is also interesting information about when zero water filters reach their expectancy. They put out fishy smell and otherwise. I will be watching my filters more often and taking more notes since this ZeroWater 5 gal system is really the way to go if you are only growing a plant or two. Filters are a bit spendy but when you take time, gas, convenience etc. its a no brainer (if the water coming out is zero:) - I get about 15 gallons per filter (175ppm from tap).
Day 70. It’s been about a day since new res change. Steady Eddie at 250 ppm and 6.2. I’ll let her drink the bucket down a good ways if things remain stable with a drift down. I doubt it though, 5 gallon is fine for 12” autos but at 2’ she really needed 8 gal. Time to up the R&D on the cabinet! Also checked Zero Water again and filter is now putting out 200ppm of 3.0 water. New filters installed!
Hope she finishes soon, the top of her canopy slowly getting cooked over the last 10 days. 8" of light distance is too little. PPFD 2000+ at the top, but leaf temps are in the upper 70's. Gotta hit a decent DLI on these lower buds - without nuking the top nugs, right?!
As the week concludes, she’s in a fresh bath, at 250ppm @ 6.0 and running stable again. New water filters installed so zero water variable removed. Last serving of half+ teaspoon of GH dry KB ripening, and will reduce ppm by 25/day until I reach 10-15%. 1-2 day flush, if at all.

Finally! The end has come.
Day 77. Whole plant hanging In paper bag
In dark
Didnt take a wet weight. So many colors poping at the time of the cut.
I starved her of water for about 5 days and then watered today, put her to bed for 4 hours and then cut her down.
I want more water in her roots and stems so that I can have a longer dry.
Will update with a harvest as soon as she's dry.

Aquí os adjunto como van esta prueba de cultivo orgánico en base recetas orgánicas 100%naturales.. En la tercera semana recibió su primer riego con nutrientes vivos. Cada 10 días se realizará este te de compost aireado oxigenado por 24h con algún aditivo dependiendo del estado de la planta. Entre cada riego se regara una toma con agua sola y otra toma con enzimas naturales. En este caso el último riego antes del riego de té de compost ha sido un riego de áloe vera fresco. En este último preparado de te hemos añadido cola de caballo a la bolsa de te y agregado el ácido fulvico y la melaza antes de intruducir la bolsa de té. Se aprecia algún mordisco pero las plantas siguen su curso sin mostrar ningún síntoma negativo.

So after 106 days + 11 days drying im finally done with my first grow.
Got 97g dry buds + 30g shake
Way more then i anticipated.
Alot of the buds are pretty airy but the top ones qre pretty solid and all of them have amazing coat of trichomes.
Im so greatful i had this experience. I learnt alot and have way more confidence to grow more and my plan was to have my first grow to anwser all the questions i had.
Im cant believe i spent less then 300$ on this setup and harvested equals to like 1,500 - 1,700 $ of buds(prices in my country) thats definitely going to help me with the economy situation right now. And all this was stealth inside my closet, i had family members comming and didn't notice nothing i just had to turn off the blower fan since it's the only thing in my setup which isn't stealth.
I know i didn't gave her the best conditions but she showed me how strong is a Cannabis plant 😍
Im just starting my 2nd grow - Auto Northen Lights. Stay tuned

Day 18
Transplanted today the plants into their 11L pots.😊
While instead i will let the Lemon Tree grow for another 4/5 days in the same pot because she only got 13 days, so I prefer to have it strengthened a little before the transplant.
Day 24
Mimosa, Meringue, and Kmintz were Topped, Defoliated and also applied a light LST to the main stems of the plants.
I will do the same for the Lemon Tree in the next 2/3 days..
I hope they have a quick recovery 🤞🏻
Day 27
LST also performed on the side branches of all plants except the Kmintz which is too small to bend its branches.
Also Today we got 21 days for the Lemon Tree which has a great shape! Carried out topping, LST and a little defoliation.. 🙌🏻
In the next few days I will let them grow them without further stress.
Have a great weekend gromies!! ☮️💚

Great week! Explosive growth was the theme, and over the past 3 days they've gained 4 inches. I was inspired by a few growers on here to do more lst this round, we will see if it pays off or not. Finicky is still doing very well, I would say she's outpacing the other plant at this point. Started my bloom nutrients, and began to wean them off the veg nutes. There are plenty of nodes for buds, but a lot of them haven't shot up yet like some of the main stalks. The right plant was looking a little droopy this morning, realized they were probably an inch too close to the light. Hoping to get another week of stretch out of them, but I could see them shifting into bud production mode soon. Excited to see what's coming up over the next few weeks, stay tuned ladies and gentlemen!

Fruity Pebbles auto 2 is not as big as plant 1 is. She had a lot more issues getting to the solution then 1 did. She is in it now and starting to show the extra boost in grow. I did clip the tips of the few longer roots. Everything has been looking good. She should be getting her first lst soon. Thank you ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱

She is bulking up now :) some leaves show some brown discolouration but nothing too serious.
Just removed 2-3 Leaves that were not looking too good. Just let the plant do its thing.

26.12.24:
These are my 2 best plants P1 and P2 Purple Punch, they are looking great! Not sure what happened to P3.
They are in early flower/ pre-flower with the pistils clearly seen on P2. I am also hoping to tie some of the branches down to help light penetration on the lower canopies.
I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves.
To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants.
After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6.
I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes!
29.12.24:
So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small.
I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process.
Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️
