Re: Newbie first grow northern lights auto fem

To me I think there is some kind of deficiency going on? Also when should I top her

Re: Newbie first grow northern lights auto fem

I don't think you have any deficiency atm. and for topping auto's thebeast27 has a thread all about it,
Auto Topping Thread
also you should make the couple of changes to be part of the cropking comp!
It's Time For A New Grow Journal Contest!
i think you'd have to just change the title of your journal and send them confirmation of your purchase..

Re: Newbie first grow northern lights auto fem

Haven't given any nutes yet because bontastics guide didn't recommend until week 6 because of the nutes in ocean forest being hot. That's why I followed a different soil mix recipe. Theory is the deeper and stronger the roots get the hotter the soil.

Just contacted Lisa fro. Ck she is taking care of it changed the name already thanx

 

[lilybeanz]

glad to hear,

Looks good in there lupey, they've got good growth going on. If your interested check out my journal of 3 northern lights autos I'm nearing harvest on. I'm very interested to see the different phenotypes you may have compared to mine. I'm also just starting another one in my new journal. She's about 5 weeks old. Happy for you on your adventure in growing. Your story on initial blunders is similar to my start into this great past time.

KiG cheers

Im in northern lights auto is a great strain to grow even after topping will reach 5 and a half foot.under 600 hps anyway lol but they do stretch good and yield suprisingly well i say if u can afford it add led,s dont have to be expensive ur plants will grow and bloom much better and beanz great work already throwing out top info and helping a new grower top job mate keep it up

 

[Kingsnake235]

i was going to comment on your other thread that it was time to start a journal, but i checked first and here it is!

looking good!

nice set up cant wait to see how it go's for you....

 

[Lupey]

Thanx for the response guys here is day 23 and a little better look at my tent. Right now lower lights are just on extra pots I had after germination issues. Building vertical stands at work to clean up tent. Humidifier is on left and fan on right.

Had lights clamped to corners but was too far away

 

[Lupey]

I am planning on using the fox farm trio for nutes, haven't started any yet, haven't even picked them up yet so far the soil mix seems to be doing good. Any feedback as far as fox farm nutes. Also plant seems to be really full and dense thinking maybe I should raise my center light to promote stretch?

 

[lilybeanz]

i haven't used foxfarm before but Im sure they'll do good for your little girl.
light seems good where it is, once flower sets in you'll get stretch

 

[lilybeanz]

maybe even a bit closer if temperature allows it.. personally i would lose one(or 2) of the side light for now, to get the other side lights closer but only if temp isnt an issue..

 

[Lupey]

Have thermostat right at plant runs 81deg daytime I will be installing the new light stands tomorrow night which will allow me to move them closer. But I think I still need to keep them out at the edge of the large reflector. Picked up the ff nutes today but won't start them until Sunday. Also picked up soft wire training ties to start LST. Decided not to top her just LST for my first grow. I have crop Kings crown Royal that I will experiment with topping. Figuremy next grow I can do northern lights and crown royal. The northern lights should finish out when I change the light cycle for flowering on the crown royal.

 

[jamesleemc]

nice make sure you start that ff half strength or a little less, and try and get that temp down 6 deg's .....
