Excuse this weeks photos. I broke the lens on my brand new phone... anyway the six shooters have shot. Well two of them stretched up nicely being the first that I haven’t topped or done any kind of lst on we are going to get the Christmas tree effect on them. One is going to be a stubby little bush bud as it was a mutant from day one. The others are a little over two feet tall. Full nutrients from here on in.

📋 Grow Diaries: Week 2 of Flowering – The Northern Lights Auto Sisters The Northern Lights Autoflower sisters, Charlotte and Makayla, have confidently stepped into Week 2 of true flowering. The initial transition phase is settling, and both girls are busy stacking up distinct pre-flower clusters on the deck. Because these are autoflowers tracking on a fixed schedule, this week clearly illustrates how a complete divergence in training strategies can entirely alter the plant's architecture and budding profile. 🎀 A Study in Contrast: Natural vs. Pinned Down While sharing the exact same indica-dominant genetic backbone, the structural contrast between the two sisters is night and day right now: Charlotte (The Natural Tree): Training: Left completely alone to do her own thing, Charlotte has been allowed to grow naturally. Structure & Flowering:** She is exhibiting a textbook, upright Christmas tree shape with a strong apical dominance. Her primary central cola towers over the rest of the plant, heavily stacking clusters of white pistils along a single vertical pillar. Her side branches gracefully skirt the main trunk, catching excellent sun from her upright stance. Makayla (The Pinned-Down Canopy): Training: Placed under intensive low-stress training, Makayla has been meticulously pinned down closer to the soil. Structure & Flowering: By forcing her main stem down horizontally, her natural apical dominance was broken. As a result, her side branches have been thrown into the spotlight, rising up to create a much flatter, bushed-out tabletop canopy. She sits significantly lower to the pot than her sister but features multiple evenly distributed budding tops across her wider footprint. The Mid-Bloom Menu: Dialing in FOOP Organic Bloom To fuel this rapid flower production without stalling their internal clocks, the girls have been transitioned onto a premium organic bloom regimen: FOOP Bloom 1 & Bloom 2: This core base duo is delivering a highly bioavailable punch of organic phosphorus, potassium, and fish-based micronutrients to accelerate calyx stacking and strengthen stem development. FOOP Sweetener: Infused into the feed to load up the root zone with complex carbohydrates, driving up microbial activity in the soil and giving the sisters the raw fuel they need to crank up early resin and trichome synthesis. Irrigation Setup The green automated drip rings (1000003513.jpg) ensure this organic blend is evenly distributed across the entire surface of the fabric pots, feeding the root zones consistently without creating dry pockets. Pistil Development: White hairs are actively grouping up at every node site, most prominently on Charlotte's dominant main tower Foliage Check: The fan leaves on both plants remain an incredibly vibrant, healthy green (1000003325.jpg), showing that the FOOP nutrient uptake is smooth and perfectly balanced for this stage of life. Grower's Note: Watching a single strain express itself in two totally distinct structural shapes because of a simple twist in training is what makes grow diaries so rewarding. Charlotte is maximizing her main vertical column, while Makayla is converting her flat footprint into a broad field of tops. Next week, the bud swelling truly begins!

It's about week 6 I guess, I don't know. Pheno 1: 2 short ones with great smelling medium sized buds. Fast Pheno 2: looks like a nice producer, very frosty, nice growth, keeping an eye on this one. Slowest of the bunch but not a slow plant by any means Pheno 3: woah, THC bomb! The frostiest plant in the house. Also seems like a fast one Great smells Quite excited for these awesome plants from Zambeza! Catch you before harvest time for some nicer pictures

Very good run, sorry I haven’t been updating her but I broke my phone and kinda forgot about this site when I got a new one since it’s not an app. Happy growing everyone, I put pics and videos on my Instagram of her and the others I’ve been chopping recently. At least one plant a month is the goal! Eaegifts on ig

i think i will do HST to 4 main branches

No buds formed; the calyxes where the seed goes were created, but without seeds

Yo la fam attention les yeux 🔥🔥🔥🌱🔥

Entering the second week of growing for the Orange Diesel, I am finally relaxing a bit. It was so close to death with it's germination issue, but the "seed surgery" saved it and it seems to be recovering. It's a bit small compared to the Blue Dream'Matic growing under the same conditions, but it's leaves are healthy and it's putting out new growth. It's going to get it's nutrients dialed up just a little, and the lights are being lowered slowly, to dial in it's optimal grow conditions. Unless she explodes with growth I am going to avoid any topping later in the grow and focus instead on some gentle LST (if needed). I am including a timelapse that mainly covers my Blue Dream'Matic, but shows some of the growth of the 🍊 in the foreground. In future weeks I hope to get more of both the plants centered in the video. Thanks for reading, and happy growing! 🌱👍

no more than that one pollen sac found yet. still searchin every day purplematic going purple!

As soon as she is dried aftyer 10 to 14 days I will provide more info on this train. 😎 ****UPDATE**** So she cured for 10 to 13 days. man she smells so sweet. The effect is good its a clear cerebrale high. Good for in the morning and you wont get lazy or slow.00

a few photos are missing, I was away:) To be honest, I've never had such a big automatic flower before, although the light intensity was really high all the days of its growth, it still went up ;) first experience with such a girl:) But she looks really good:) good luck to everyone:).

A lot of lst this week so plants looking a bit twisted from the amount of training the claw is slowly going away now on the og found ti be very sensitive to nutrients but she has riveted and starting to out grow the rest they are now showing signs of preflower coming so iam praying for a big stretch..the gorilla melon is now in the tent ready to be vegged big enough to fill the full tent will transplant soon into a bigger pot

Alla fine ho optato per terminare tutta la decima settimana di fioritura facendo 3 giorni di flushing 2 giorni di solo acqua piovana e 2 giorni senza acqua e senza luce...in fine per garantirmi un essiccazione più lenta ed omogenea stò provando ad appendere le piante sane lasciando foglie e rami...probabilmente la temperatura oscillerà tra i 17 e i 19 gradi e l'umidità trà il 55% e il 70%....mi auguro che tutte le scelte da me fatte mi portino ad ottenere un buon prodotto. Immagino che ci rivediamo la prima settimana di Febbraio per la conclusione del diario, intanto grazie a coloro che mi hanno seguito in questi 4 mesi....GROWDIARIES è un grande stimolo a fare meglio

She has a getting very close. I feel the next post will be chop. This week has been pretty easy really. She won’t make much but a few big bong loads is no more than I expected from 200 ML of dirt. It has been an adventure!! Now to slow down and let the big girls thrive. This little plant has been watered and checked 3-4 times daily for a while. I may do a tiny pot or solo cup grow again for fun though.. I honestly learned a lot from an extremely root bound tiny plant. I have been away from growing for 20 years to raise my kids free. Now I am legal and learning LED. It has been a fun year.

Plants Flipped to flower on a 12/12 light schedule. EC dropped slightly to try and reduce any major stretch. These plants should have been lollipoped last week before putting them into a scrog but unfortunately I was unable to, so I have to remove the Scrog to make it easy to lollipop and then place them back into a Scrog once lollipoped. When the Scrog was placed back on it was more for support as I'd already built the structure of the plant the prior weeks. Although a few lanky branches did get bended back over. Another Scrog layer will probably added later in flower for further support when buds start forming.
