Could it be the NL has a bit to much N?

Sweet Bourbon Auto Kush - Update #10
Day 74 for plants 1 & 2 in the AutoPots and day 72 for the gal in the 5 gallon RainScience bag.

The two AutoPot SBKs have been in their own dedicated tent now for several days, and closing in on reaching full maturity. #1 on the left is a little larger/taller and drinking about 25% more, but there's nothing too shaby about #2 on the right.

Here's a slightly closer look at #1.

And now here's #2.

Meanwhile, the diminutive gal (#3) in the Rain Science pot is just about done.

Nice strechty colas you trained out there! What height size do the big ones have?

Sweet Bourbon Auto Kush Harvest Day!!

3 ladies hanging from there toes!! 92 Days since sprout and they are chopped!!View attachment 1439175View attachment 1439176View attachment 1439177View attachment 1439178View attachment 1439179View attachment 1439180View attachment 1439181

That should fill your jars for a while if your family is not to big!:smoking:

Four weeks in and they're doing really well. View attachment 1439787
I've decided to keep both AHKLs. The one on the right spent a few days outdoors in temperatures down to the upper 30s (F) and just kept growing.

I'm not sure about the ANLR to the right. I may toss it in a week if it keeps growing slowly...

Keep her, autoflowers often can surprise even when we think they'll not do it. Speaking out of own experience!

Afghan x NL Day 26

AK47 x Karels Haze day 27

Both plants got LST this week, and are doing fine. The Afghan/NL seems to be a tad N sensitive, which is why she’s clawing.

Day 77 for SBAK and she's getting there

Hi WildBill. Sorry I missed your post/question back on Mar 7th. Me bad.

I'm a huge fan of Rain Science Bags. I have been using them since introduced here in a product-review grow test back in January 2019. I was one of the testers. Its now the only thing I use except for two 2-Pot AutoPot systems. I've used them with different nutrient programs, both with success. I tend to load them with a mix of coco and soil. I like to keep the mix fairly "fluffy" in terms of not retaining too much moisture. My gold-standard is the 3-gallon bag. I do have a few 5 gallon bags, and four 10 gallon bags that I used last summer for an outdoor grow. But 3-gallon is my go-to.

They do dry out real fast when growing outside, but I only tried outside once, and don't plan to do it again anytime soon.

My watering/feeding strategy is to get about a pint or so of runoff. So, yep, I always water until I get runoff out the bottom. For me this is easy to see and measure because the bags sit on rolling trays that have a removable runoff capture tray underneath. I also cut out a circular piece of rubber floor mat (kitchen/garage) that has holes in it. The mat sits in the tray and gives the RS bag even more circulation and an easy way to expell excess water without siting in wet standing water.

The exception to this strategy (of getting runoff) is in the early days when a plant is still tiny and has not developed a full set of roots. I'll water/feed then just to get a modest amount of moiture into the bag. I'll often use a little moisture meter to help me know when & how much to give. Once the plants leaves have extended beyond the sides of the bag (about 3 weeks or so) then I'll starting increasing the water to get the runoff.

Frequency of watering really depends, obviously, on the size of the plant. Early on I can go 3+ days between watering, and 2 liters/quarts is sufficient. In full maturing flowering mode its usually once every two days. Occasionally I have a beast that demands 3 liters/quarts, and/or daily feeding.

To ease the time spent doing manual feeding on such a fequent basis I am considering adapting a couple of RS bags for bottom feeding using some equipment from AutoPot. Haven't pulled the trigger get on the $$ investment, but probably will in the near future.

Hope this helps, Any questions?

I love your rolling tray! I could work with that.
I'm using two trays. One with nothing and one with pumice, all I had at the time. I concentrate on watering the outer of the pot on the first round of watering. I start back on the first again and water the entire top. I'll do another round and wait 15min. I'll have the pots in the plain pan, so I'll add water to the tray. Pots are fully watered when the won't take all the water after 15min. I swap the trays to the pumice to air the bottom.

Have you examined the roots shortly after the grow?

SBAK was harvested on day 91

 

[Cooterjuice]

7 days drying for the Sweet Bourbon Auto Kush. Is dry enough to cut into branches and put into brown paper sacks to sweat a day or 2

 

[Suki]

I know its only been a couple days but I'm trying to get back in the swing of Friday updates, so here we are! SBAK is 80 days today!! I was really tempted to chop on Wednesday but something was telling me not to. Glad I didn't because her buds have gotten noticeably harder over the last 24 hours. Going to let her go a bit longer as I'm after a more amber finish to her and hopefully let some of the lower stuff get a bit more solid as well! Realistically she could come down at any time now though.

Sweet Bourbon Auto Kush days 88 - 90

Been on water only for a week or more so they'll be getting the chop real soon...
