Northern Lights auto grow

Hey cool to see your growing auto NLs as i am growing also. Got my NL autofems from royal queen seeds. I will be following your journal because you are about a week or so ahead of mine. My plant just broke the soil.

My journal on another forum heres the link if you want to check it out

I think I had initially gotten yellowing because I want protecting the riots enough from light ( was using only duct tape, the pot is clear plastic). When I transplanted, I saw the roots were biggest at the bottom but too fine near the top.

Thanks for following my grow! I'm eager to see how your auto turns out as well

It will be cool to follow both journals and see how they turned out. Its awesome because we both are growing the same strain and almost the same time!! Super cool. Interesting also because we almost have the same lighting, think i have 1 more CFL then you (i have 8 going now). What type of soil are you using?

Ffof now. Started in miracle grow organic soil, "natures care". Seems to be fine for my 3week old

Bigger plant is almost 5wks old. In fox farms ocean forest. The smell is subtle but would make any stoner take a double sniff, smell radius of about 15ft. No distinct buds yet but the white hairs are evident in a couple spots.

The younger one is still in miracle gro organic soil nature's care. Thriving better than my first one did. Lush growth.

I water the small container every 2 to 3 days (once I can see it's dry all the way to the bottom).

The large 3gal, I water a little bit more than weekly.

I'm going to have to set up another grow box because these two babies won't fit in the same space together when they're both grown. The grow box, again, I got from home depot for like $15. I drilled holes in the top for wiring and put 4 CFLs via y adapters into two ballasts and splice it to an extension cord.

Okay.. PICS

Been a while. Still grows nice.

Inadvertently LST'D the big one, lol. Exposed another node at top. This will be an interesting experiment! This is fun!

Big one is nice and bushy. It looks yummy. More hairs.

3weeker is growing fine also a girl.

More pics. Still on the dark cycle so it's a little sleepy

Heh.. Nice bush!

I tuck back the fan leaves so more nodes are exposed. Tried to do research on lollipoping an auto but most people apparently don't do it.

This is true! You don't want to do any kind of pruning as its to much of a shock for the little girls. Although you can top them in their earlier stages of development. I have done this and had great results.

how early can you top? The 3rd or 4th node like you would with photos?

I dunno when best time to top is lol. As you can tell by these pics.

One grows like a bush, other grows like a tree

Not sure I would top an auto at all. Only so much veg time and you cant control when it flowers.

Update:
8week old plant nice and bushy. (First pic)
6week old plant is flowering more aggressively than the first. (Second pic). I had to cut at the top due to space constraints

Who is the breeder of your NL. Im doing NL from Vision.

Ive got the same thing going on 1 tree 1 bush. Im thinking the seed were a F1 and the breeder did not state that. I hate it when they do that.

Update: I just changed my grow box to allow more room for growth without light burn. I just stacked the old closetmaid setup on top of a new one. Picture below. I had to cut a few leaves and budded stems. It was tragic.

Older one is 9weeks. Some crystals. Smallish nugs.

Younger one is 8weeks. Bigger nugs., also some crystals.

I should have upgraded to this earlier

These pics are all of the younger one. Internet is slow. Gonna post the older one after.

Edit:: 3rd pic is actually of older plant

I got lazy and didn't post the other one. I feel like my plant is stoned. Leaf has been accidentally almost entirely detached but it doesn't realize it's dead.

hey man looking good!
my first grow was also an auto northern lights not too long ago...I was pretty surprised how big mine got....just a warning my plant got almost double the size after it flowered and I ended up having to havest it in 2 stages cause I was getting light burn on nugs :/
