DIY, First Grow, Northern Lights Auto Flower

[GreenGoblin22]

NL1 and NL2 starting to stretch a bit but still pretty thick.

NL2 is a few inches ahead.

NL1 shorter but pretty dense. She was set back a little early on but has recovered fantastically.

These three pictures are of NL2

So this is interesting...I see nine points and this is the only leaf that did this....thoughts?

Here’s a better picture.

Here’s a better picture.

When I look closely at NL1 it seems that above about node 5-6 area the the fan leaves are 8-9 points. Especially if they are getting large. NL2 this is not the case. It’s seems the leaves are not as big but a few do have a small 8th point.

Is this common with the Northern lights strain?

From what I’ve read Sativa’s can have 9 points. The strain we have is 70% Indica, 20% Sativa and 10% Ruderalis.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, new grower over here...

Day 40

They are looking good.

 

[GreenGoblin22]

Some interesting stuff showing up on the leaves. Bugs? Nute issues? Water on them? I find that with them so tightly packed and RH at 60% that when a leaf is below another and they are touching a little condensation forms between them. This just looks different to me....

Latest feed was PH’d up to 6.5 and run off was 6.1-6.2.

Mix was 4.5 of water at 1000ppm.

8ml Grow
8ml Micro
8ml Bloom
8ml B-52
8ml Cal-Mag

 

[GreenGoblin22]

Looking real thirsty so they got fed. Next feed I’m thinking I will probably use more water as I didn’t get any run off. Thoughts? @farside05, @Mosspb, @subliminal @Pennywise

Ph feed mix was 6.5
PPM 1150
4.5 liters water

Nutrient:
10ml Grow
10ml Micro
10ml Bloom
10ml Cal-Mag
5ml Big-Bud
5ml B-52

I did pinch off a dozen or so leave to open things up more. The nodes are just so tight that the LST kinda bunched them together. Things are getting a little twisted sometimes.

Brother, I am no expert, but the leaves drooping almost looks like they have had too much water?

 

[GreenGoblin22]

Few more pictures without the lights on.

They still seem droopy to me man. Remember that when they are really thirsty, the leaves will curl up. Droopy leaves lean towards over-watering. I mean the grow looks great and big...They just don't look that happy.

Edit to point out that I am new at this, and I am not calling you out and I could be very wrong. Just my first impressions after all that I have read and pictures I have looked at. An honest opinion that I hope you'd give to me.

I hear you. What I should’ve mentioned too is the grow medium was dry and pot light. When I fed today I had essentially no run off which leads me to believe the pot soaked up everything I poured in. This wasn’t normal. Also, the past 36 hours my humidifier was on and not actually working...my bad, as the tank for it wasn’t seat properly. For sure they are a little pissed off at me but fingers crossed that they recover...

If they were wilty from being dry you'll know in a couple hours, they should perk back up fast. If they stay that way, then you have other issues.

 

[Pennywise]

Yes if they were dry they should perk up quickly.

This is about 10hrs after being fed. They look better to me, not perfect but better.

 

[Mosspb]

I was there just before he watered them, they were dry. I know the pics definitely look like over watering, but seeing them in person they were thirsty asf.

If can back off on the nitrogen it will help, I’m seeing clawing on a lot of leaves. The deep green color is another symptom.

Hiya

The leaf damage in the above photos looks like it might be nute splash. But have you seen this on other leaves that were unlikely to have been splashed? Have you inspected the underside for critters?

Very interesting, never heard of “Nute splash” but makes sense.... I’m careful but some leaves do get wet when I feed. I’ll be more careful.

Thanks!

And here they are! Bam! Just like that they bounce back up. Less than 18hrs from feeding. What a cool plant.
