New Grower ILGM Northern Lights & Amnesia Haze

[R Wayne]

Update, pretty sure it's day 64 since germ. Both ladies seem to be doing ok. I've realized I have been adding nutes to try to fix deficiencies which is good if I'm adding the correct NPK ratios. But I haven't been adding the correct ratios, hence my plants are a little out of whack. I've also learned that I should add Cal Mag before other nutrients. The gentleman at my garden center told me to add the Cal Mag last. So I'm hoping this might also be another cause of why my plants are suffering a little. I've gotten some help from more experienced growers, and have focused more on proper NPK ratios vs just trying to fix a phosphorus deficiency or a calcium deficiency. Their flowers are really starting to fill out and the Amnesia Haze is grown like crazy as you can see from the pictures. Will probably have some light bleaching and other problems with the light being too close. For now it is what it is and I'm happy where I'm at. I've got some much "shorter" mephisto seeds for my next grow so hopefully I won't run into the lack of space issue.

I feel your pain.
My amnesia has grown way too tall and I had to supercrop around 10 branches as my tent height is only 48 inches and she didn't show pistils until Day 38.
Got the bleaching of leaves so I have turned down the intensity on the ts1000 to help a little.

First grow of Amnesia it only got a foot tall and 2oz dry yield.

Dang, my tent height is 63 inches, I can't imagine what I'd be doing if I only had 48 inches. ILGM specified their Amnesia Haze Auto as a short plant, that's why I bought it
But I am excited with how big it has gotten and how many colas it has. And I did plan on making edibles out of some of my harvest. Could be I just use the top colas instead of the bottom ones.

I'm so new at this, but my gut feeling is telling me my Northern Lights Auto is like 2 to 3 weeks from harvest. At week 11 (10 to 14 week strain).

Day 75 I believe. Wanted to post an update. The Amnesia Haze keeps growing, giant flowers, I am so curious how much she's going to produce. She seems like she's recovering well now that I've gotten my NPK ratios down. I believe the Northern Lights is 2ish weeks away. As of today I am only giving my Northern Lights water, and molasses every other watering. I'm overly excited to harvest my first plant, but know I need to be patient. I want to harvest at the right time. I took some trichome pictures, but to me they still seem somewhat clear. What y'all think?

Looking good brother. Be patient, they still have more to offer!! When you see most of those white pistils darken and start to pull back into the bud then you will know your close. Don't be afraid to pull those taller colas down and away from that light.

Thanks man I appreciate the advice. I've been meaning to move more colas away from the light. I just need to figure out what to attach them to. Maybe I'll string up some twine to my tent poles.

Yup, twine, yarn, wire, coat hangers anything really, lol

Only had like 20 minutes before I had to go to work so I wasn't able to get her exactly how I wanted. But I was able to tie some twine to the tent poles and pull her away from the light a bit. @Cooterjuice

Definitely have a while to go. I'm seeing a good bit of clear on the leaves still.
