New Grower Northern Lights Auto Flower Grow

Day 10

Temp 83
Humidity 58%

She was pretty much dry so I just watered with about 5 tablespoons of water with full strength Big Bloom.

1st fan leaf is almost normal looking after coming in all crooked and wonky looking - I see a couple of branches coming from this fan leaf as well - the branch is a little longer than yesterday but you cant see it in these images (bad camera angle)

2nd fan leaf is now showing 3 fingers.

3rd fan leaf is still only showing 1 finger but it is much bigger than yesterday (still hard to see on these images though)

The dirt and spots on the right leaf in top view is just dirt/water droplets.

I think I will do the first regular watering next time she is dry, by regular I just mean pour on the water until a little bit of run off.

I also soaked a 2nd pot of soil just to see how heavy it got. Im tracking how long it takes for that 2nd pot to dry out completely so I dont over water with the regular waterings.

Looking happy and healthy

Day 11
Temp 82
Humidity 60%

Just spritzed the top of soil.

Fan leaf [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] still going strong.
Fan Leaf [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] is now showing 5 finger leafs
Fan leaf [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] is now showing 3 fingers but im going to assume 5 or 7 fingers will show sooner or later
Fan Leaf [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] should open up by 2mar.

I mentioned tiny branches coming from the nodes in yesterdays update but they did not show in the images. You can see them with todays images.

Im also going to upload a couple of additional photos today - all the leafs seem to be just a little messed up. Canoeing, curly, bent out of shape etc.

Could I get a diagnosis or is this normal at this stage?

looking good with proper canooing the leaf will have a bit of a v shape to it.theres an ever so slight ripple to the edges of some of your leaves,and thats kinda normal.
from a foot away looks like a mighty fine example

The canoeing seems to only happen in the late afternoon/early evening when it gets hot.

The sun starts pounding that rooms windows around 3pm and then we also live in a high rise on the 10th floor so the 9 ppl below us also warm up with the sun and then since hot air rises all that hot air goes up and our place gets hot.

I have been opening the door of the grow room around this time but sometimes I’m not home so when I return and the room is 95 degrees.

Could I shut the lights off for a couple hours in the afternoon/evening? If so should I leave the door closed so it is dark in the grow area 2x a day or will that screw the plant up?

If I leave the door open when the light is off then the plant might stretch to the sun.

if you running 18/6 or 20/4 have the lights off period at hottest part of day.and the light shouldnt mess with the plant at all.

Day 12

Temp 83
Humidity 50

Moisture seems pretty dry an inch down to me and I had planned on watering when I woke up but her leafs are still pretty stiff/perky looking so I might hold off on watering until her leafs start drooping a little bit. You know, listen to the plant.

A bunch of new growth.

The 5th set of fan leafs showed themselves overnight.
What I was calling branches growing from the nodes in the last couple updates are now showing more and I think those are actually pairs of leafs coming in on each new node. time will tell.
The 4th set of fan leafs are now showing 7 finger leafs.

She is starting to lean a bit which you can see in the first picture. I thought it was stretching to the light but I put a bottle cap on the pot last night and rotated the pot, she did not change the way she was leaning so I think I need to straighten her stalk a little bit.

If I do decide to water later today it will be with 100% strength Big Bloom and 1/4 strength Grow Big.
