Northern Lights Autoflowers: Week 10 Grow Diary Repo The Northern Lights autoflowers, Charlotte and Makayla, have reached Week 10 on the deck, and their differing growth strategies are on full display. They are handling the outdoor elements well as storm systems roll across the plains, benefiting from the automated garden manifold design that keeps their irrigation consistent. Here is the status report for the garden. Individual Plant Breakdown Charlotte (Tall / Christmas-Tree Profile) Morphology & Height: True to her established genetics, Charlotte is standing tall and displaying a classic, vertical "Christmas tree" structure. Her central cola has reached approximately 14 inches in height from the soil line. Development Stage: Charlotte is well into her flowering phase. A well-defined vertical stack of pre-flowers and bud sites is forming along the main stem, with prominent white pistils developing. * **Canopy & Support**: Unlike her sister, her branches grow more upright. She is supported by a single bamboo stake bearing a blue flag marked with a "C". Makayla (Low-Profile / Bushy LST Profile) Morphology & Training: Makayla continues to display a beautifully managed, low-profile, and wide structure. This is the result of 100% low-stress training (LST). Her main stem and primary branches are pinned down horizontally using training wires anchored across the soil. Development Stage: Because her canopy has been kept flat and spread wide, her energy is evenly distributed. Multiple secondary tops have broken through to form an even, bushy carpet of vegetative growth with early flower sites just beginning to show across the node points. Canopy & Support**: She is thriving in her fabric pot, marked by a blue flag with an "M". Garden Notes & Observations Containers: Heavy-duty black fabric smart pots are being used. Irrigation**: Green coiled garden hose sections are secured inside the rims of both pots, acting as an automated irrigation manifold distributing water evenly across the mulch and soil. Companion Planting: Small potted marigolds are situated on the deck next to the fabric bags, continuing their job as the pest defense security team. Foliage Health: Both plants exhibit a rich green hue, though minor environmental weathering (small superficial spots or dust from the plains) is visible on some of the larger fan leaves. Overall vigor remains strong. Summary Comparison Side-by-side, these two sisters show how much structural impact training can have on identical genetics. Makayla is a flat, dense solar panel optimized for horizontal space, while Charlotte is maximizing vertical light absorption with her tall central cola. They are a fantastic case study for Week 10!

Hi guys! It´s the beginning of v-weeks 1-2. She´s still in her little "incubator" for the humidity. I only watered her this time, round about 400ml. Can´t wait till she gets bigger!♡ CannaPeace Growmies!🌱😶‍🌫️ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🍀🍀 UPDATES WEEK 1- 2 🍀🍀 ✨16.01.2025- watering day, about 400ml ✨18.01.2025- feeding day for baby Runtzies; I fed her about 250ml, BB- AV 0,5ml; BB- RJ 1ml; BB- pH- 0,2ml (water being a bishh); PLAGRON. GS 0,5ml; PLAGRON. Grow 0,5ml I think she´s living her lil life, her leaves are growing like crazy. I also took the improvised incubator away- she does not fit in there ✨ 20.01.2025- she´s 4,5cm big now, doing great. Nothing too crazy to add today:) ✨ 22.01.2025- watering day, about 300ml. I´m really enjoying watching her grow. She´s starting to develop the 3rd node ✨ 25.01.2025- watering daaay! I watered her only about 150ml. As you can see she´s really pretty and living her planty life ✨ 26.01.2025- just fed her some BB-RJ (3-4ml/1L water- I gave her just 70-90ml)

This weeks nutrients were identical to last minus the CalMag. The smaller of the two plants continued to stretch until the end of week three of flower. The larger plant already started to bulk. Trichome development is ramping up.

15/10 - Bit of defoliation to open her up and remove some stacked leaves. Didnt take a whole lot but its made a decent difference. I think that'll be the last cut before harvest bar a few which have been hit by the cal lock. Next grow I need to figure out how to access the back of the tent, because at the moment its impossible without fucking my back up and craning my neck. Got would I could back there but could def be better. Topped up with plain water as shes drank 10l over the last 2 days. Not seeing any more rust spots forming so hopefully the cal lockout is fixed. Shes starting to smell quite strong with notes of citrus and shes sticky as hell. 17/10 - EC plummeting again, 10l drank over 2 days. Topped up with water and 3ml CalMag, 5ml Grow, 10ml Bloom added. 18/10 - PH has remained stable overnight after the top up. I ended up doing quite a bit of defoliation today, again opening her up and removing problematic or shaded leaves. Always amazes me how much plant matter can be removed and yet she still ends up looking super dense. 20/10 - Full res change. 5ml CalMag 10ml Micro 5Ml Grow 45Ml Bloom. 1.15EC 6.1PH. 21/10 - PH dropping much more slowly now, so in a good spot. Continuing to take the odd leaf here and there to help light penetrate and get them off bud sites.

This plant man. Had to remove the 2nd and 4th node branches because they just weren’t doing anything. Stems were bright purple and the buds were tiny. Decided it was best to just chop them off. Buds are plumping up nicely. She is actually at day 72 right now. Think she’s got 7-10 days left, we’ll see.

A week of noticeable bud fattening, lower leaves starting to dry out, loss of color, and very slow growth. The smell also intensified considerably. A week in which they began to show signs of nutrient overload, and I had to reduce the bloom dosage. Una semana de un notable engorde de los cogollos, hojas bajeras que empiezan a secarse , perdida de color y un crecimiento ya muy lento. El olor también aumentó considerablemente. Una semana en la que empezaron a mostrar un exceso de nutrientes y me tocó rebajar la dosis de bloom.

this one seems to be keeping up with the others pretty well, wish it had produced some larger leaves prior to flip but oh well

New Aeroponics "root rain" mist cloner! Holds 2 gallons of water. I added 8 Tsp of CloneX clone/seedling nutrient. PH was 6.0-6.5ish, good enough! These clones inside got zapped pretty hard one day, because I forgot to plug in the water pump one time after playing with it hehehe... Some didn't make it, but most survived! every other plant was watered with just de-chlorinated tap water, for re-hydration. #4 has been selected as the winning pheno! The mother plant had her home upgraded to a 2gal pot. The root ball was not so bound, due to her receiving a root-prune not too long ago, she was re-potted back into a solo cup. I pruned the bottom of the root mass off with a light pinch, and potted her into her new 2gallon home!

July 5 - The girls are still doing awesome. temps are between 21-26. Humidity is 40-50. Still feeding every 24-36 hours with 3L per plant. July 6 - They are doing good. Showing lots of flower sites now. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures today. July 7 - Tons of progress since last week. I don't see any signs of any problems, and still no pests! The smell is getting A lot stronger as it starts to flower more July 8 - Still doing there thing, no problems, temps and humidity is fine. Have been feeding every 24 hours now as they seem to be really thirsty July 9 - Super happy with how they are doing. No issues yet. Smell is heavier, and tons of bud sites showing up. Only issue is they are growing pretty uneven. July 10 - Time to get a even canopy! First time doing some HST. I also did some defoliation. One of the stems split open a bit but it seems to be doing just fine. I did he HST and defoliation in the morning, i then took pictures of 12 hours later and everything seems just fine! July 11 - Everything seems to be a lot more even and the broken stem doesn't seem to affect the growth.

Looks absolutely awesome. This is my first photoperiod and you can really tell the difference in density and overall quality. I wet trimmed her and froze the sugar leaves to try to make my first hash. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40€ -Timer: 3,5€ -Pot: 4€ -Total fixed costs: 47,5€ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17€ per grow in materials. Variable costs: -Seed: free (gift) -Soil: 6€ -Fertilizer: 3,50€ -Power: 15,21€ -Total variable costs: 24,71€ -Total costs per grow: 27,88€
