I am going to start my new week 24-11-2019 because the soil is telling that it needs water and it's technically the beginning if the new week so why not. If you look at the still Pic the leaves look like a deficiency or maybe light burn I did not notice that earlier today. I have si ce raised the light and I will check tomorrow to see if the color of the leaves have turned green all through the veins where there is some signs of yellowing. If I see change the maybe both concerns have been addressed because I also increased the ppm's in feeding.

Heavy defoliation the day before the photos were taken. Will leave alone now to stack and mature for a month. Feed regularly. *(If anyone has seen the little blue heater that I use in the room in one of the photos or videos, I noticed a tiny LED on the side. Since it was daylight when I tested the heater and it's so small, hadn't noticed that it turns on when the heater is activated. It is red and I think that it's intermittent off/on/off during flowering was having an effect on the plants on the right side where the light is. Put duct tape over the light and hopefully, that's that, although if the element inside glows red and lights up the room, I may have to deal with it).

11/23 - Update 1 day early. Will make measurements and update accordingly tomorrow, as usual. I did a top off at 75% strength nutes. She is drinking 1.5 gallons per week (approximately). Trying to hold her ~850ppm @ 5.9pH. Her canopy is nice and open and bud-sites are stacking nicely. I'm hoping for some additional stretch over the next 7-10 days to give me an increased yield. Looking forward to seeing what pheno I ended up with. 11/24 - Updated stats. 850ppm, 9" above screen (so 15" total). Measured pH of 5.3, added 1ml GH pH UP to adjust; will check again later. Light adjusted for optimal canopy between both plants. I might end up re-orienting the lights in the other direction. The distance from the flowers varies between 12"-16" because some of them are stretching up more than others. I still think it only has a slight aroma, but she still has a ways to go. If she goes the full 13 weeks (~90 days), then harvest would be on 29 Dec (Happy Birthday!). Later on 11/24 - Uploaded videos of buds and roots. 11/28 - Went ahead and supercropped/HST the tallest stalk. Will see how she responds after lights come back on to see if I want to do the same to the other tall stems to even the canopy. Thanks for stopping by the garden, and, as always, Happy Growing!

11/24 and week nine Will be feeding Monday as well as a foliar of weak cal-mag Defoliating as well Tuesday Maggie's bud are beginning to cone as Layla and so that is hopeful. 11/27 Do not see much bud building on Brandy. Not a deficiency issue that I can see just the effect of the stunting. Considering harvesting Brandy cutting my losses and freeing light space for the others which we hope will pay off. Get some sleep see how it looks in the morning. 11/27 PM Brandy and the Runtz will be harvested this week as they are just ready to go and I want some of both :) Recharge and bio-bloom for Layla and Maggie just some water and a bit of recharge for Brandy. Just to see what happens PH 6.5 New pics and vid 11/29 new pics Going to let Brandy continue to ripen the Recharge seems to have triggered new hair growth 11/30 Changed the bulb on the Lights to a different maker (vivosun) and man what a difference. That old light was costing us! From now on that bulb is changed every six months.

11/24 Week begins and she is reaching that point. Feed tomorrow and some defoliation no flush yet as new hairs abound 11/27 Gave her some 6.5 water with a bit of recharge as her tricones are very dense, all white or amber (1%) and may be our most potent grow yet. Harvest in a few days after holiday.

The plants seem to be growing very fast very strong. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

Day 51 - Week 8 started and it’s looking like I really need to stay on top of watering her. If she doesn’t get water every 2 days, she seems to get severely dehydrated and droopy. Within an hour of watering she perks right up. Went ahead and gave her a feeding of nutes and tucked some leaves as best I can. Day 52 - She’s perked back up again and looking normal. Did some defoliating to get more light to the bud sites and also tucked a few leaves to avoid over stressing her from plucking leaves. From the way she’s been acting, I will be giving her a gallon of water every 3 days to keep her from drying out and drooping. Day 53 - Did a little more leaf removal and tucking today to try and keep her opened up. She’s starting to fill in a bit more and will be giving her some water today to make sure she doesn’t dry out too much like the last couple times. Day 55 - All looking good and she’s dried up a bit but gave her a gallon of water today. Didn’t do any defoliating today, just watered her and tucked some leaves. The wife will be taking care of my girls while I’m out of town for a week so hopefully they survive till I get back.

Day 50 - Starting week 8 and gave her a feeding of nutes today. I did remove a couple more fan leaves but she is really think and don’t think I’ll be able to get her thinned out enough and not stress her out. So for now I’m just tucking the leaves as best I can. Day 51 - Did a decent defoliating today but still not enough and don’t want to do too much to stress her out so tucked as much as I could as well. Not really seeing a lot of frost yet but the buds are building up beautifully. Day 52 - Not a whole lot going on right now but again, I removed a few more leaves and tucked the rest again. Plan on giving her some water tomorrow or Thursday. Day 54 - Gave the girl a gallon of water with 7ML of cal-mag today. Didn’t do any defoliating today, just watered her and tucked some more leaves. I’m gonna be out if town for a week so won’t have any updates until next Sunday so hopefully the wife doesn’t kill her while I’m gone.

Week 8 started okay, after lots of defoliation, I think light penetrates a bit more lower parts, flowers now started to turn into longer bud sites, looks nice. Hard to notice issues with plants, because most of the bigger leaves are removed, and usually leaves are the first ones to show issues I guess. Also plant no 1 has grown lots of stems past lightning :D Its growing strong. Still are a bit behind with flowering than other 2 plants. But overall all plant buds look amazing! Still adding flowering nutriens, perhaps I should stop at end of week to flush it? Seems like harvest could be in next two weeks, I'd say 10 days, but i have no idea. Mid-week I removed plants first time from grow box, did lots of defoliation, and moved light to very top of box, took them back inside, now lightning is very good and space issue kinda solved, plant no 1 had grown very tall and already had burnt top buds, had to do something. few lessons learned.

11/17 As of tonight she is under the 400w (MH), in the next couple weeks I’ll be pumping her up and pushing that growth into the Scrog. 11/18 Nothing to report on today, today is the beginning of week 5. I’m expecting to begin flower at the end of week 6. 11/20 LST has begun! She’s been a bit deficient in Cal-Mag, I’ll be feeding her along and letting her veg for another week/ half pumping her up for the main event.

Back on track! Giving them some nitrogen has them drinking water at a much quicker rate and the flowers are adding some new growth in all direction. I think they’ll be a week or two behind the original forecasted finish date and while the leaves may not be the prettiest these little northern lights autos are going to have that great smell and taste we’ve all come to love.

Well, the old girl was showing signs of calcium defciency (some spotting/rust on some of the leaves) so she got her rez change a day early this week with some added Cal-Mag. She did some stretching this week and grew about 5". Cleared out some undergrowth and small branches under the canopy to keep things neat. She seems to be setting up to produce some nice buds. 🤞 -------------- Day 65: PPM 658; PH 6.2. She was thirsty but watered down her drink as her PPMs were increasing a bit. Fed her a gallon of filtered water with a tsp of Cal-Mag. PPMs now at 563 with PH 6.2. Day 66: PPM 553; PH 6.2. Left her alone. She seems in a bette place after having her drink watered down yesterday. Day 67: PPM574; PH 6.2. Topped her off with a gallon of filtered water and light nutes. She's sitting at PPM 574; PH 6.2. Day 68: PPM 584; PH 6.2. Left her alone. Day 69: PPM 563; PH 6.2. Topped her off with a gallon of filtered water/nutes. Sitting at PPM 595; PH 6.1 Day 70: PPM 595; PH 5.4. I've suspected for a while that my PH meter has not been giving accurate readings (even after calibration). Bought a new meter and was proven correct - PH has been running much lower than readings have been showing. Corrected her to 6.1 today - maybe now she'll start sucking up some of that calcium she's been missing out on.

I let them grow for a week straight without defoliation Day 55 pics are just after defoliation Day56 these are ready to fatten up

She's doing very well. Gave her a little clean up today - removed some undergrowth that won't make to the top. Keeping her diet pretty much the same other than an increase in Cal-Mag this week - the other plant in my tent was showing signs of deficiency so I thought they'd both get a little boost since I've been treading lightly. She did a bit of stretching this week - grew about 5" taller! Looking forward to see some fattening of the buds! 👊 ----------- Day 65: PPM 668; PH 5.8. I think her drink is bit on strong side with PPMs increasing a bit since the rez change. Topped her off today with 3/4 gallon of filtered water to dilute things a bit. Sitting at 574 PPM; PH 6.2. Buds are starting to stack nicely and fatten. Day 66: PPM 553; PH 6.2. Let her be. Seems to be happier now that I've watered down her drink a little. Frost is starting to form around some of the buds and she's getting more fragrant. Day 67: PPM 584; PH 5.2. Gave her 3/4 gallon filtered water with light dose of nutes. She's now running at 553 PPM; PH 6.0. Day 68: PPM 563; PH 6.0. Let her be. Day 69: PPM 532; PH 5.8. Gave her 3/4 gallon filtered water/feed. Now at PPM 542; PH 6.2. Day 70: PPM 532; PH 5.1. Discovered my PH meter is toast and has been reading much higher than it should. Got a new meter and hopefully back on track. Thank goodness this plant is resilient. Gave her some PH up and sitting at 6.1.

Day 61 - 24/11/19 Stopped adding nutes a few days ago and decided to flush. only feeding pure phed water now for roughly the next 5 days or so and then harvest time! Smell is insane! buds look a bit small but full of green/purple colours. so excited to be at the finish line for this one :) all the gear i need for harvesting, drying and curing is on its way so all i have to do now is keep watering and waiting :) Night 61 - Update pruning shears arrived! I decided to snip one of the side colas to dry and cure. the smaller bits of buds came off the stem while trimming so i cant hang them up to dry like the bud in the video i added. ive stored all the trim from the Dwarf diary and the side cola for making edibles this week. got a nice collection going now. and i added pictures and a video to show harvest and my temporary drying solution. Next update will be the full harvest so keep an aye out for that. Happy growing!
