Preparing to yank out top shelf and rejig things. I can only gain 4” but it will be needed as this thing is running hard. Closer than 8-10” to the LED light, and she WILL get cooked! Next Gen grow box gains almost 8” in height with same dimensions, so problem solved. I may have to cut CO2 until stretch is over or just cut altogether. I got a close eye in her. Day 44: She's looking good, and stretching at a rate of 2"/day in her tin can. I did a light defoliation and cleaned up training wires. I'll leave her be from here on out; less some selective defoliation to keep sites open. I cut CO2 (which would have been helpful a bit earlier), and may turn back on at the end of week 8, time will tell. Day 46: She looks like she is 4+ days behind when compared to the other 4 autos I have grown. She will either catch up, take longer to mature, or I'm screwed because of the heavy defol. Flower development seems slow/odd. 10pm and she’s now 22” tall and too close to the light. Flower productivity accelerating for sure. Maybe she will just catch up, and finish late? Bummer I had this one in quarantine. Day 48: leave symptoms developed further into dark rust spots very suspect to a calcium deficiency. I flushed for a few hours, cut Gro out all together and bumped Micro and Bloom. Increased CalMag from .8ml to 1.5 ml/gallon. Now observing. Day 49: Another day or two will tell but it feels like the deficiency is slowing as the progression on day 47-48 was an hour by hour progression. Throughout the week, and almost everyday, I have taken a dozen or so leaves throughout the canopy and the undergrowth. One day I defoliated her pretty good, but not super heavy. Massive leaf production and has crowded the plant/bud sites out in a matter of a day or two. Day 52: Looks like calcium or possibly potassium deficiency back in check. Newer leaves look good and no progression on older leaves.

Ready to flip soon! Using 6.9 Autopots for this run. I think a smaller pot would have been just as cool for this 4x4. These plants are trees.

Buds are fattening, hairs are turning orange and the smell is very pungent. Getting some black tips on leaves, any advice would be great. I gradually lowered the ec last week and this week, wondering if that’s what caused it, ph has been dialed. About 2 weeks until harvest.

Simply put I am so very pleased with the way this plant has performed my only worry is how to properly dry and cure this magnificent specimen

Welcome to week 8 of my Northern Lights XL Auto diary Did some LST, and she seems to like it very much. Development did slow down a bit as it seems, but the plant is taking the training very well the lower branches did grow quite a bit and are moving upwards to the light overall performance is very good, no insects problems, also no problems with rain (yet) Waiting for more bud development, let the plant take it's time

Well we all know this team and there genetics are tight .. The cheese is small in size but the smell is so good .. The blacksugar is biggest by size of all plants a true beast.. all been doing great except I moved light over blacksugar 4" inches closer , over night burned top leaves .. Rookie mistake fixed and move on.. The next 2 weeks are key and they are on point with root ph stable at 6.5 very happy with this run ...

7/5/22 VD8 Coming along ok. Hoping for much better growth this week after starting a negative pressure environment I'm hoping this will increase co2. I'll monitor her for now and keep your on the same ppm/EC. I'll be taking away Artios Touch for this week and adding Atlas. Maybe during the week I'll increase PPM. 9/5/22 Up and coming plans. I'm going to top 1 of this in the coming week. Also I have a few ideas to help out in the pre flowering stage and have sorted out a temp controlled (AC intake fan). This will enable me to turn it on for 5mimd out of every 30 and pump cold 18c air into. I've also turned the light from 65% - 87.5%. Holding that lil bit of an extra kick for preflowering given with as much co2 time I can give them in their new homebox ambient 150+ 150x150x220 will allow me to go big and will widen in most areas what I can do with these girls. I'll be keeping a 50x50 space free in my tent for the 20l dehuimifier that will be running in the tent with my 800m3 6 inch EC/TEMP C9NTROLLED PRIMA KILMA intake fan will be turned on, by request OF the new automated dehuimdifying/temp controlled area which will allow me to grow in high co2 environment for at least 25 mins out of every 30. It'll all depend how quick my 3 co2 bags can bring up the ppm. And I'll only be doing this for preflower only then I'll go back to a negative pressure environment 15/5/22 Great week for growth. Had a look at the ends of the pots and roots where coming out of the end of the holes. Days ago. Hmmm, I'll only know if I waited too long if they stall. 16/5/22 So, as I suspected, both pots were root bound. Had to break up the soil instead of putting right into new pot minimising shock, sadly that's not gonna be the case, expecting considerable shock as I had to break up the soil, not fully but enough so roots will hopefully grow down. At best it'll set me back 2-4 days at worst 1-1.5 wks of a stall.

Purple Lemonade , Gelato 1&2, LAK 2&3 are all just about done theyll be coming down over the weekend or early next week. T26, Pineapple Express, Mexican Airlines, LAK 1, 6 Shooter Blue Dreamatic and Cream Cookies are all on the flush but will need a few more before chop. This tent reeks up the whole block it's pretty intense skunk in the driveway right now. There will be one more update I'm guessing for most of these before the harvest update. This was the most successful autoflower crop I've had in a long time I think theres some really good quality buds on some of these. I'll put the video up now and as I go thru the pics theyll be uploaded so if your interested come back tmm for the pics. These reek of Lemon skunk all of them. 1 is gunna be a little while longer but the 2nd 2 should come down in the next few days.

Plants are growing healthy, actually did some low stress training on the two plans in potting soil and they are taking a liking to the conditions.

12/17 Week 12 Wow Layla made to week 12 but this will be her last, trics are ready and just letting her dry out before harvest. My wife says hers buds remind of Cleopatra from the Adams family... have to remember that new year for Halloween Maggie - one gal @6.4PH + 12ml Peak Soul finisher maybe her last feeding as hair growth is slowing so looks like next week-ish Those buds are really getting thick and heavy had to tighten up the support a bit. 12/19 HARVEST DAY LAYLA Pics up top wet yield 578 grams am happy Into the dry boxes (took two) for a few days UPDATE**** Dry weight 219 grams 12/20 Mag gets another feed still building buds same PH and PK as before. 12/21 Bud production slowing even after the feed so thats all for Maggie, just getting her preped from her on.

New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day. Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!! Trimming so I can keep the same hight. Have any tips or rekomandation? Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?

Week 7 or 8 🤷 It's Raining & I think one of my plants is going Herm 🤦... but peep that one monster in the middle.. its almost 2 feet tall and don't ask me the age on it.. bigger pot bigger plant (Eureka! 😂😂🤣) I just know it started a few weeks behind the others that are heavy flowering. feeding everything in the video with Masterblend 4-18-38 tomato formula kit. they seem to like it at the 2-1-2 ratio

Although the yellow appearance this lady has still been growing at the same rate as the rest and shooting out the side branches nicley , she is a week behind the rest due too the first seed not germinating but week by week progress has been the same as the others
