Grow Diary Update: Week 12 — NL1 & PPX2 Overview & General Status We have officially rolled into Week 12 with the second batch of autoflowers, PPX2 (Strawberry Nuggets × Pink Panama) and NL1 (Northern Lights #1). Both plants are maintaining a wonderfully compact structure down in their fabric pots, keeping a low, tight profile as they focus their energy entirely on stacking and bulking up. Current Plant Breakdown * PPX2 (Compact Pheno): * Looking stout and dense in its 5-gallon container. The tight node spacing is doing wonders, keeping the structure incredibly compact while the site develops rich, frosty clusters. * NL1 (Multi-Branched Pheno): * Hanging right along with that same low, sturdy footprint. The branching is tight and well-supported, letting the developing top sites catch the crisp late-season deck sun efficiently. Environment & Irrigation Update * Natural Rainfall: With the rain we've had pass through over the last few days, both ladies have been catching some naturally balanced pH water straight from the skies. Mother Nature handled the irrigation cycle perfectly, saving us a trip with the watering can and delivering a refreshing, clean drink right to the root zone. * Media & Resilience: The 5-gallon fabric bags are draining and breathing exceptionally well between showers, keeping the root environment happy and stable. Next Steps * Keep monitoring the forecast as late-September weather rolls on. * Continue checking trichome development closely as these compact little fuel tanks finish up their final weeks.
