Northern Lights Auto, 1st Grow (Nirvana)

Aeries I was a bit worried with the 3 days to germinate and about to start again with the soaking in water and paper towel technique, but them she poked her little head out wearing her seed as a helmet. I suppose you just have to be patient and give it time :-).

Aeries -Going to gradually get her from 8hrs shaded daylight to 13hrs shaded daylight by the end of week 2. -Going to switch from 24hrs light to 20/4 #Day 12 and on #Day 14 I will be switching to 18/6 in preparation for Her transition to outside next week, about #Day 17, if all goes well. -Above mentioned nutrients will be added this week and after transfer to 12l pot on day 10. -Less watering this week too, I have to remember She is not a marine animal 😅. -I have also set up a slow release carbon dioxide drip. -She grew 7cm and has started growing Her 2nd true leaves after "Week 1" hopefully she keeps up the steady pace 🙏.

Aeries Last week a bit of a stressful nightmare 🙃. But that was last week and this is a new one 😁. Will update as the week progresses, not ready to give up just yet 🤓

Aeries New week started a bit late and never finished last week 😅. She is in her final place now until harvest thank God! The growth and colour alone is amazing, loving her new environment and survived 2 days of stormy weather 💪. She has just started to streach out on 4 Node. When she gets to node 5 I will be topping and again maybe 3 days later on 1 or 2 other new main Colla sites. I will have to see how her development goes after 🤓. I will feed her on #Day 25, her usual all "Organic Mix" and then again on #Day 28. Day 28: some nice growth in height and in the canopy. She measured in at 33cm today ☺️. 11cm growth in 1 week! 5th node is starting to come up too!

Aeries Day 30. -Not much growth from the lower site so I will defoliate when topping in 2 days. -Little greenfly issue, going to feed on Day 32. So I will have my insect replant ready when going over to feed, top and defoliate. I will use some cinnamon to sterilise he wounds after. Topped and defoliated today along with spay for the greenfly issue. Hopefully they will leave Her alone! -Day 35. Fed some Nettle fertilizer, coffee grinds, Crushed Seaweed and watered. Sprayed some insecticide too, no insects on her.

Aeries Day 39. Not much growth, but after topping and defoliation I was expecting a slow down. Gave water and nettle fert

Aeries Day 44. Gave some Lentil & Nettle fert. No need for water, been raining the last 2 days. New bud sites forming after the slow down from topping and defoliation. She should be switching to flower soon 🤞 Day 47. Gave 300ml of Banana Tea and 1 tspn of Blackstrap molasses along with some compost dressing and some orange peals about 1inch under the dressing soil, to keep away insects.

Aeries Day 51. Gave some Banana Tea and molasses. A lot of new growth happening. Expecting heavy rain so no watering today. Day 54. Gave some banana fertilizer and also spread some wood ash dressing for P&K. New growth coming along well! Day 57. Applied some Banana fertilizer and water. Did some defoliation too.

Aeries Day 60. A little bit slow with the growth, but expected after defoliation.

Aeries Day 67. Not too pretty 😒. Hopefully something will come from her!

Aeries Day 89. Not looking too hopeful guys! But she was my practice baby 😅. Hopefully get somethin more than lessons 🤨
