Grow Diary Update: Northern Light Sisters - Week 11
The autoflower girls are hitting a spectacular stride here in week 11 as they push hard into their flowering phase.
For the height check on our shorter, low-profile lady Makayla, the tape measure shows she is holding steady right around 15 and a half inches. She is focusing her energy on filling out dense side branching rather than stretching skyward. Meanwhile, our taller, Christmas tree-shaped sister Charlotte is stretching up higher, measuring right around 17.5 to 18 inches, positioned right next to her companion strawberry trap crop.
The bud development across both plants is coming along beautifully. A close look at the stacking structure shows white pistils reaching out as the flowers begin to swell and pack on mass. The frosty trichome production is starting to look prominent across the sugar leaves, which is even clearer in the macro shots.
Looking at the full profile of the main plant layout, you can see how neatly she sits in her fabric pot with the custom automated irrigation manifold loop keeping the organic root zone perfectly damp. The African marigolds are doing their job right at the base. The stacking on the upper half of the main cola is looking incredibly dense, showing magnificent node spacing. Finally, looking at the crown of the main bloom, the resin production is accelerating rapidly, giving the calyxes a beautiful, sticky appearance as we head deeper into peak bloom.
