Indoor First Grow ~ Auto Northern Lights ~ Nirvana

[khero]

Hey AFN, just recently started up my first grow tent, currently am 18 days into the auto and have two bagseeds a friend sprouted and then realised he didnt have the means to keep them going so gave them to me.

NL is in front in the smartpot and the two photo bagseeds are at the back which are about a week older than the auto

Lights are one 400w COB LED light (64x3w) and one 180w UFO (not sure on actualy draw of ufo but i believe COB light is 220w)

Looks like a great start ... welcome aboard ...

Day 21!

I think my Norhtern lights auto is getting too much N as its clawing all funny and such, also the two plants at the back are photo plants and the lighting is on 18/6 so when the auto finishes lights are going to 12/12 to put them into flower, hopefull 2/3 months veg should make them monsters

Could be to much N bro,back off the nutes for a few days. What's the PH of the water going in a the soil PH bro?

3 questions.

1. What nute dosage dose the bottle recommend?

2. What doseage are you giving them?

3. How often are you giving them nute feeds I between water feeds?

I think I was giving them a top concentrated feed but its just mixed with water and I'm using that to feed them once every 24 hours or so, once soil gets dry

A wise tip about nutes. A good rule of thumb regarding nute introducing "less is more"...

Even at day 21 she's still getting use to you introducing the nutes to her water feed. So to regular nute feeds and she will begin struggling as her roots will not have even reached the bottom of the pot she's in whole your making her fight to digest nutes she's never had before.

Most plants roots don't begin to hot the bottom of the pot until week 3.


This is the water schedule I stick to when growing autos and it's never failed me in any grows to date.. It's also good for young autos as it helps them adjust an accept the addition to her regular water only feedings.

A 4 week feeding cycle (introducing nutes) starting Week 3(day21)

1st feed: water only.
2nd feed: water.
3rd feed: water grow nute dose mix
4th feeding: water

By now she will had had a nute feedings AND 2 water feeding a between nute feed, to give her time to accept digest and get the first nute feed into an threw her system before her next nute feed.

Observe her leafs colour an how happy they look by this time. She will show if she's happly handling the feeds and repeat this if she's still looking sluggish until she appears to be more perky.

When she's older she will have grown up an have fully settled into her pot, and be capably of digesting more nutes compared to her tolerance at only a few weeks old.

And then you can adjust the feeding schedule to this

1st feed: water grow nute dose mix
2nd feed: water
3rd feed: water grow nute dose mix
4th feeding: water

I hope this is easy understand asNot everything I post makes sense to everyone else, so let me know if you understand this.

Yes I understand, thanks, so you also mean for the first 3 weeks just give it plain water?

 

[Tony]

Yes. Water , water , nute/water and then water.

It will also help to see if the nutes is what's causing your lady to look so unwell as she's showing in them resent pics.

Do you let your water sit overnight before using it to feed your ladies? Or water the. Directly from the tap?

I have a 50l container I fill in my bath and let sit for a couple days before I use and then only take enough to fill a bucket at a time, the tips of some leaves have also started to yellow
