beginning of week 5 of lowering

Plants have responded really well to the drier air...the dehumidifier has transformed them a lot...they were going a pale green as i assume they were intaking moisture through the air rather than the roots with nutrients...they have started to go a nicer green and really putting on some growth now... Some of the stems are going purple, not sure if this is genetics or due to slightly colder lights off temps...the tent drops to 19/20°C when the lights are off...not sure if this is too cold from the 29/30°C on lights on...

Slowly dropping the ph down to 5.8, I can tell I stunted the growth just a tiny bit. But I checked the bottom of the cups on day 10 and I saw some root heads poking out the holes on the bottom, so the roots are growing atleast👍 Day 14 today is the last day I will be giving them water only, next watering will have cal mag and GH nutrients and silicate. Runoff was 5.9 ph, so im finally in the sweet spot

Day 18 and they're finally starting to grow, leaves started to yellow on day 14 so I gave a light feed on day 15, and again today on day 18. new growth still has purple stems so I may add more cal mag next feed Day 20 and they're really starting to green up on top, I think i waited too long to give them their first feed, I'll start on day 7 next crop. PH of feed was 5.9 and ppms were 364 feeding every other day

Day 29 and I'm switching to transition nutrient ratios, transplanted into 1 gallon pots on day 28. I'll be back on day 34 for another update. I'm excited to see what these plant are going to yield being in such small containers Day 34 and they have really stretched! Anyone have any tips on helping an iron deficiency? My og kush being a little sensitive

GENERAL COMMENT. So guys this week ran ok, i’m trying to pay attention to some details, like water temp, as the weather is cold here. The LED had a problem in one vent, so i repaired it, is nicely built inside but all the wires are tight and locked with this plastic lockers, so to have room to work you have to first take some of them out, impossible to find the vent attach, so i cutter the wire and made a connection for the new vent, avoiding to hunt the cable source and a nightmare of taking everything apart… A bit of pressure because i couldn’t screw up and loose the LED, to buy a new one would take up to 60 days… EC is at 3.1, .1 higher than i should be, pushing them a bit, can see a tip yellowing and a super slight tip burn, so my interpretation is that i have to reduce the nutes dosage a bit. Runoff is at 5.8-5.9, watering at 6.2-6.3 pin pointing at that range, no deficiencies are showing at the time. 2.5l every 1-2 days, when water only, i give 5l each to manage salt build up on the medium then it takes longer to dry out. Cal mag supp once a week, with water only, 2ml/l. They will be off this week to manage the progression of overfert. 
STRESS KILLER AUTOMATIC COMMENT. 
 She became a real bush, and is in full flower, around 53cm now, super dense, and light penetration is hard, keeping on the leaves tucking and going natural yet, no defoliation, pruning or lollipop-ping. She is a joy to grow and smells very citrus, smell is not pungent though, also comparing to my last grow… My hole house was smelling like ganja at the time, lol! Less flower spots than the NL but still lets see how dense they will get.

GENERAL COMMENT. WEEK 4 OF FLOWER. The week ran smooth, girls keep on growing well, my soil is becoming a bit compact, i usually use clay pellets mixed but this time i when straight with the soilless mixture, 50% Mosses and 50%p Perlite, with no organic correction so is inert, a pro is that you don’t see bugs such as gnats, till now. For the moment @B4RNS gave a nice idea on how to improve the aeration by using a knitting needle, to poke the soil, and that was easy to do, with minimal damage. Is a regular plastic pointy stick. Had putted up the lamp to around 40cm from the canopy. EC continues at 3.1, and added overdrive to the feed, lowered the B-52. Cal mag more diluted 1ml/l one time a week only. STRESS KILLER COMMENT. All good and easy, super strong, getting nice and fat, and this week she started to produce some trichomes, yummy! Smell is very citrus oriented, and enjoyable, super fruity with a touch of acid. Would like to super crop the top but as she is doing her thing very nice decided to keep that way as the NL also has a upper canopy and the lamp is one wouldn’t t do much.

GENERAL COMMENT. WEEK 5 OF FLOWER. Ok guys, this week ran ok for one girl and less for her sister, so i will go on details individually. RQS STRESS KILLER AUTOMATIC COMMENT. Beautiful girl getting bigger everyday, i’m very satisfied overall, she is fast and have lots of terpenes, and started heavy resin production. Super strong, absolutely no issue at all for now. I’m imagining to start flushing this week or the next will decide this days to come, but this grow will be max 12 weeks. Not reading the runoff on this girl as everything is just amazing. Maybe will backbuild some colas to compare. EC at 2.2, released a lot of N now, but still did a good feeding, it might be the last, or max one more before the flush. Will be flushing with flawless finish in the last week.

GENERAL COMMENT. Two different realities are populating my humble growroom, by one side we have a vibrant SKR and the other the NL that was destabilised a wile back. This two girls from RQS have lots of virtues, and shooting up many colas, and harvest is looking promising. RQS STRESS KILLER AUTO. AKA SKR I’m looking forward to get the results on this one, beautiful plant, full of colas, compact size, and very dense. 100% happy, my first medical strain and i recommend for anyone looking for a easy to grow CBD funcional strain. She got her last nutes feed a day a go, and now is flushing time! 10 days to go, and she still bulking! As far as flushing goes, I will water abundant in the first week with ph water, then flawless finish to take care of any thing left. Looking close for mould and etc… Fingers crossed guys! I would like her to go flawless!

Up and running, everything smooth, growing a lot. The lesson I got is that my space is just too small for 3 plants in 5 gal smart pots... will update the space soon and invest in a LED. Started giving some TOP CANDY from Topcrop fertilizers, smells sweet as molasses...

Now growth in height stoped but the flowers are gaining weight and becoming wider. The auto is in a bad spot and receiving less hours of light that it should, so a bit of a disaster, is looking so so, with skini small flowers... Will do some rqs northern lights auto next time to feel how a real auto behave!

Buds are growing a bit more, i will let it go one more week then do a week flush, and finally harvest!

All going forward! In theory two weeks to go. I notice one of the photoperiod plants is growing very differently, stems are purple could be stress related but i'm not sure, and the flowers are more white and vibrant, is taking longer to mature, and pistils to become amber, in addition to that i'm suspecting it is becoming a hermaphrodite, made some detail pics if anyone has experience with that, i would appreciate the opinion! Cheers

Girls are growing nicely, this week ran nice and smooth, no issues. My soil is a bit compact now, and water is not penetrating so well, so i tried to te compact the top layer and mess a bit with the textile pot, that improved a lot… Next time will ad some clay pellets, as i always do… They are in the edge of nutes and i will have to be careful next week. The cal mag is been added one a week, 2ml per l in water only day. Ec is around 2.5. The NL seams to be ok with the spotting now and growing normally to a beautiful girl, lots of colas developing, overall she is a lot more sensible to light then the SKR, an i think the LED is causing some leaf tip twist, so i gave some more distance to check if that could be the issue, from the beginning she was the more picky one, so may be bad luck on this specific seed genetics, will do my last seed on the next cycle to check if that could be it.

The SKR is developing nice flowers really fast, she looks around one week ahead, top leaves are starting to look more sativa some how, she is packed and dense, did just some leaves tucking nothing else. I decided not to defoliate. Is looking like i will outgrow my space, they are developing really nice.

NORTHERN LIGHTS AUTOMATIC COMMENT. 
As far as the Northern Lights go, she is more sensible to about everything, water, nutes, light, so for now i see this phenotype i have as a sensible one, that since the beginning, so that what we have to work with… She needs less water, and too much makes her sad… So she will be on a different schedule. The number of colas is impressive, we are at 60cm hight now, and around +-25 flower spots, 2X much as her sister.

Day 57 Veg Fed plain water today everything looking good will be going 12/12 end of the week Day 60 will be going 12/12 hopefully tomorrow Day 62 light schedule Is now 12/12
