Step By Step Blueberry & Northern Lights Autos By Farside

speaking of trying strains, I once tried a higher CBD strain while on vacay in CO...it was harlequin or something. I sat on the back porch and vaped a little out of the 1/8th I was given. Did not feel a thing. Next rolled a huge (by my standards) cone with a gram of the stuff, smoked it, then smoked a few more rolls later that evening. 0 anxiety, so relaxed, and not stoned or high by any stretch. Very nice stuff and the easy my one and only experience with it.

You ever try something like that for the wife?

My last grow was Painkiller XL by Royal Queen. 9% THC, 9% CBD. Not her preference. Although a friend with rheumetoid arthritis says it works great for her pain.
 
Day 11 - Girls got a half gallon of week 2 feed. Hopefully that will get them through till Day 14 when I'll switch to week 3's feeding schedule. Growth still looks good and gains are more noticeable every day. I'll have to make a decision about topping soon. Pretty sure I well leave the Blueberries alone and just LST them since their growth rate seems to be slower than that of the Northern Lights. The Northerns I may top, may not.

Was just going through my previous 5 journals and it looks like these are off to the best start yet, when comparing to where my other plants were at the same age. Evidently I learned something along the way.

Why is it that I'm only 11 days in and already I'm contemplating what is going in the tent next? If I had the space I'd have a whole farm full of plants.

You been seed shopping?

I left out my point...lol. I never smoke that much that close together. It was like 5x what I normally would smoke to feel something with a non CBD strain. I was trying to reach buzz, but could not. But damn I felt so relaxed...was not expecting that...

No I haven't. I have a fair amount of seeds on hand and 2 photo seeds, from freebies, of strains I haven't tried yet (White Widow and Candy). Still have some a Sour Diesel and 2 OG Kush photos in the lot which could help fillnin the tent. Or if I get froggy, I have 10 mystery seeds from Nirvana.
 
Day 12 - Starting to get a little more size. Threw in a pic of my biggest plant from my first grow (a Northern Lights), also day 12, for comparison.

It becomes almost exponential. The more leaves you have, the more growth the plant can achieve, and the more growth the plant can achieve, the more leafs it can pack on. It's always a great day when those first fans reach over the edge of the pot. That's the current goal.
 
Day 13 - Got some pics right after lights out today to show true colors. Everyone is nice and green and loving life. NL2 looks a bit sleepy from all her hard work. BB2 although healthy, just isn't exhibiting the type of growth as her sisters. BB1 is stacking node on top of node very little space in between. I I did decide to top her, which I don't think I will, it would be very difficult. My hands aren't that steady. I need a little more room for "margin of error". Normally I take my pics 7-8 hours later in the day, 2 hours after lights on, so there was some growth that took place that during lights out that will be missed. I love it when things progress so fast that you can tell a difference just 8 hours later. Tomorrow looks like it will be topping day for both Northerns and a drink of week 3 feed.

What node are you topping at? I've always done at the fourth but see a lot on the auto topping thread that say 3 is the best.just be prepared for the NL to be around 2ft wide if it's anything like the ones I've done.Your berries look like they are about to take off

It would be the 4th. I'm haven't topped an auto yet. This will be a first. I wouldn't have wanted to do it any sooner. I still want some leaf mass left after topping to fuel some growth. It's my belief that it will stunt them less if they have some substantial leaf to rely on. Also, my small tent dimensions will limit their size some. I'm sticking 4 plants in a 32"x32" tent. In reality I probably should only grow two plants in my space, but I have a tendency to get a little greedy.
 
Day 14 - Been waiting for today all week. The Northerns​ got topped and the feed level was upped to week 3 (3/4 tsp of Foliage Pro and 1/4 tsp Pro Tekt) PHd to 6.5.

I feed every water. Right now it's a half gallon each and it lasts them about 3 days. At full bloom it could be as much as a gallon a day.
