Obi's Northern Light Autoflower - Indoor T5 - Soilless Mix - 2014

Day 41

I took a quick peak at the plants before work this morning. No significant changes from last night.

I do have a question regarding a couple plant parts. I'm trying to figure out if I have a couple hermies in the bunch. Here are a few pictures from this morning. These are from the really tall, stretchy gal that's always insisted on doing her own thing.

​

Are those plump, bulbus protrusions hermie bits? I pinched a small one off from a lower node. After squishing it with my fingers it appeared to have the very beginnings of a seed. I'm not sure. It was very immature what ever it was...

I could use a second opinion here.

That's all for now,
/Obi
:thanks:

Day 44

Just a quick update entry. Not a lot of visual changes. Vertical growth has slowed. I raised the light a few inches tonight. I need to do another re-arranging to level out the canopy again. All plants are ready for a watering/feeding. Some more than others.

I've decided to back off on the nutes. 50% strength seems a little too hot for these gals. I'm dropping down to 33% strength with maybe a slight bump in the bloom nutes.

I'm running out of vertical space to take overhead pictures in the grow box. I'll have to switch to left-door and right-door pics to get everything in frame. Or maybe try the wide angle gopro camera for specific shots.

Watering Info:
Nutrient strength 33%
5Gal + 8ml Grow + 11.5ml Micro + 20ml Bloom + 20ml pH Down
water pH 36hr tap 8.0 -> nutes 7.1 -> pH down 6.0
runoff pH 6.5

Quick pic:
I photoshopped some of the red hues out to give a better representation of the actual color of the plants

Green thumbs and good vibes,

A few plants look like they are lacking Nitrogen. I've been keeping the Nitrogen a little higher than recommended during the flower schedule. We'll see if it helps green things up just a little.

I've read some where that some plants will create false seed pods. It fills up with potent resin are those hybrid seeds?

You could very well be correct. I'm letting them mature and keeping an eye on them :) I hope they get really fat (with anything other than pollen)!

I'm not sure what "hybrid seeds" means, please forgive my newbness. The strain is an Indica dominant hybrid with some Ruderalis thrown in for autoflower traits.

Cheers and Happy Growing!

Day 45

I ran this evenings pics through the wrong macro. I'm too medicated to go back and fix them :)

My main inline fan is failing. It has begun to make a bad sound. It sounds like the fan blade has fallen out of balance and/or something is rubbing internally. It's a grow shop house brand. I have a new, larger 6 inch 440CFM fan/filter combo from another shop on the way. Once I have the new 6 inch on hand I'll see if I can get the 4 inch warrantied. I could always use it somewhere else. Maybe as an air scrubber in a trimming room...

I've been running the 4 inch 190CFM fan at nearly 100% for several weeks. I'm looking forward to seeing how the larger fan can impact my grow environment. Hopefully I can move a bit more air without too much more noise.

Additionally, I may finish out this grow pushing air through the current 4 inch filter (currently pulling air) and save the new 6 inch filter for future use.

Good times,

Hey Radogast. It's good to see you.:passitleft:

The new 6 inch fan is a conventional disk shape similar to the one below. I'm not sure what color the housing will be.
