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!

😽💨 Week 5 is here! Everyone is looking pretty healthy however the bud development looks closer to week 3/4 imo and I really don't like the node spacing on plant #1, I wish we had limited some of her stretch sooner. I don't see large intact colas in that plant's future, probably long bud spiraled branches but its not the end of the world lol...We gave a tomato cage to the freak mainline for some added stability (she's definitely going to need it). All buds are beginning to frost and look as if they'll be coated by the end!! (something i really didn't expect from this strain)..We're still giving them more calcium than we typically do and will probably only stop when it comes time for their finishing flush....Thanks for reading if you made it this far, we'll update again midweek, until then happy harvest friends!!
❤️💡🌱😻

😸 Color was starting to fade on plant #1, its been a PH rollercoaster in that pot, this happens sometimes when we reuse Promix, we flushed her alone with a mild leeching solution and she's already looking better today than she has in the last 3 days, I think she'll finish just fine ❤️..happy growing everyone!! 😽💨

Wk 5 was Steady Away, Explosive growth starting, Transplanted one from aero to coco and added Began the Scrog
As you may have noticed, I Expanded the garden to give the coco girls some more room.
The Dawg in the aero wasn't taking well at all, she hadn't really had a good innings from the beginning. I transplanted her into the coco and Fed her very week nutes..

This week she was transplanted into her forever home. A 38 litre airpot. The timelapse is the whole week except a few hours when I was repotting. When I repotted her, I buried her deeper than normal because she stretched so much!!! She was a lot taller than the other 3 girls.

Vamos familia vamos actualizar la segunda semana de floración de estas Kritical.
Es una variedad sencilla amarillean un poco por una carencia de magnesio que solventare con los productos de Agrobeta ya veréis cómo recuperan.
En las fotos podréis comprobar que 3 de 6 sufren bastante la carencia de magnesio.
Agrobeta:
https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo
Mars hydro:
Code discount: EL420
https://www.mars-hydro.com/
Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar.
Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa.
Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6.
Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨

***I’m not sure why but it’s only letting me put 100 growing plants, but I actually harvested 180 plants in three separate rooms of about 300 sqfeet almost each, running in at 350 g per plant ***
Given her being my first grow, I don’t really have anything to compare to but me and my plants have gone through a lot this year.
Definitely going to need filters with this one, for the strong scent.
10 out of 10 would recommend this strain. I tried some fish fertilizer through some of the early growth and everytime I did, I would notice the plants beginning to burn so I completely stopped it, I learned organic is the best way to go if I’ll ever be using fertilizer again. This is the only way I would’ve learned it through experience!
I didn’t think I can make it all the way through with my harvest, but ever since I got on Growdiaries everybody has helped me tremendously with every question I had, without the site my whole to harvest would’ve went to shit along time ago. Haha I really can’t thank my Growmies here enough for all their support. Every time I thought about giving up I would have uplifting comments assuring me my plants we’re doing fine.
A message to all nee growers. Don’t be afraid of failure. Ask questions. I don’t know when my next grow will be but when, or if I decide to grow again, I’ll definitely document it on the best possible weed growing platform.
Cheers friends!

I harvested 211,9gr wet on p2, I mostly wet trimmed her, I have around 30gr on popcorn nugs in the freezer for bubble hash, when I run out of flowers.
I still have a bowl of leaves and stems, but it will be dismissed.

Čau growři,🤠
Vůbec nehnojim. Zkouším je chvilku nechat na vodě. Cca 10 dni. Začnu hnojit až bude přeplá a připravena na květ. Trosku mám obavy. Ale snad to bude mít ještě Happy end .😀😇

Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest
Auto Black Opium
W4V4
6/29-7/5
6/29 2 liters water ph 6.1, ppm 242, 69.5F Wetting the outer rim of the pot.
7/2 2 liters ph 6.44, ppm 222 68.5F Wetting the outer rim of the pot.
I’m giving ph water for this grow unless deficiencies are noted since Supersoil is in my base mix and will be adding Green Sensation during flower. She is 3.5 inches tall and very bushy. From the pics you can see she fills up the top of her 3 gal pot with her big indica leaves.
As aways, thank you all for stopping by, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support.
Stay green, growers love 💚🌿

Holy jungle infestation batman!!! The buds haven't blown up in size like the other tent but they have grow expandability, well all but the front left one lol truly the runt of the tent there. I lowered the PPM of both the Co2 and feed this week because the plants looked a little worse for wear compared to my other tent. The 2 on the right are just over 5ft when you include the pot and trey. If this was my other tent I'd be screwed for space by now. Luckily this is a 4x4x7 tent so ive got some more room to spare.
Even tho that one plant is small its still got a nice amount of bud growing on it. Be interesting to see what kind of yeld I get from the little guy when it's done compared to the other 3. I'm hoping the buds on the plants might fatten up a bit over the next week.
Plant size...
Brain cake #1 - 50"
Brain cake #2 - 50"
Brain cake #3 - 45.5"
Brain cake #4 - 31.75
Well that's all for now, can't wait to see what the next week brings.
Happy growing everyone!!!

9/14 Week 9 and she is doing fine
Little vid she is center
Nuets not changing for now
9/15
Ok major changes
Brought up the alternate tent and placed her in it alone under a 150w Mars
This is a test to see if we can help the crowding issue in the Flower tent
Video enjoy
9/16
Doing well but some white tips are saying we gotta reduce the salts so will be dropping CT nuets 10% and upping PK to 2.5
Extra space is really doing them well
Defoliation again tonight the war on stemmed leaves has begun
9/17
Held a meeting of the minds and decided the best course of action is to flip the light schedule so I can feed them more appropriately, twice a day.
Leaving nuets as they are as this will drop pot EC. Setting the alarm for the AM before lights out at 7:30 and changing the sched to 6AM-6PM summer is done no need for current schedule. Lights be out from 7:30AM to 6AM long I know but should not bother them.
9/19
Lights on girls feed buds look fine
Video enjoy

Week 10
This wonderful plant is going wider (and bigger) than ever thought. Flowers are coming at a fast pace now and making a vast surface of different side branches. The skeleton of the plant is clearly visible at the pictures taken from below.
The other plant is doing just fine, but rather smaller than the other one (the one that is topped). Flowers are also more abundant and the pistils from both plants are getting really fat (but slightly brown at the tips). Not really any trichomes are found and smell is still very low, more to the "plant-ish" smell than a banana smell, but that is still coming. Both plants are scheduled on 12 weeks, so we'll wait it out.

4/20 AM all the photos are looking good. The Tyson’s are done. 👍👍👍🍇⛽️
4/21 4:30AM Took small samples of BTT!!! Smoking now. Heavy hitter right off the tree. she is looking already done Grimm Seeds finish fast once flowering. Wasnt expecting that! I will grow some more and veg longer. I am RE-vegging. Ricky and Bubbles they are almost a year old and I want to keep thiem. Julian can go fu...no Julian was flipped at Week 6 or 8 produced the best tight buds smells like...'tangerines.
4/21 5:04AM VIDEOS 2 MONTEL'S, THE TALL ONE AND 1 TYSON, PUNCH PIE & GELATO 44!!!!
4/21 FLUSHED THE TYSONS WITH JUST WATER AGAIN AND WOW!!!!! LOVE THE RQS TYSON PHOTO PLANTS!!!! THEY ARE STRONG THEY CAN GROW UNDER HIGH STRESS CONDITIONS. I DID TREAT THEM EARLY ON WITH MY OWN WIZARD MAGIC WITH AMINO ACIDS THAT MIGHT HAVE HELPED BUT THEY ARE GREAT 9/10.
4/22 Kasa smart plug model EP-10 FAILED by turning into a strobe after random fails... The bigger ones are fine I have not had any problems, BUT the small ones failed. Thankfully I had them on my internet and not in the grow room!!! Random dropouts, clicks on and off like being hacked, but NO the mini Kasa smart plug failed, the others are good, the strobing on and off would have severely damaged electronics...I did NOT know that could happen! THE MORE YOU KNOW!
4/23 11AM CHOP DAY BOTH Tysons came down. They were ready a while ago. They did GREAT. Underfilled 2 gallon pots. Low light using 2 TS-100-'s at about 50 to 60 Watts. No idea how m;uch i got
4/24 3:20AM Tysons are drying perfectly, great color!!!! Video with Pink Kush and CBG by Seedsman in there
