Northern Light Auto RQS

05.01.23/D35 - Going good, resilient strain compared to the white widows i grow. Did some LST to them aswell today. 06.01.23/D36 - My pH pen have been off the charts for a while now it seems, this is why the grow has been so bad, i got a new one today but it has to soak for 12 hours before use. I still had to water 2 of my northern lights nr 2 and 4, so i tried calibrating my old one. It shows 0.3-0.4 more then the solution and it took 5 minutes for it to work its way to the final number each time i tried to check the pH. So frustrating. Looking forward to use my new one tomorrow. 07.01.23/D37 - Got my new pH pen up now and watered them all with feed. Did some super cropping and LST again, and manager to snap NL2’s top shoot, i taped her together and hope this will be fine🙏 Also manager to snap of a lower shoot from NL3 :/ Tried to be carefull but some branches were pretty brittle.. 08.01.23/D38 - Seems like the top branch i snapped on NL2 is recovering very good! I taped again around her yesterday with a splinter to help support the weight, and i also tied up with some soft garden strings over and under the snap. I will not bend that branch too much, so i might just let her grow upwards from now, to get an even canopy. 09.01.23/D39 - Did some leaf tucking, and some small bending on some shoots, trying to even the canopy and get light to the lower shoots. I think i will do a defoliation soon. Also NL2 is showing signs of stressd either from light or from nitrogen . I fed her with only 160 elemental Nitrogen, 200 is Max, but then again she is stretching more then the others, and i dont think she would do this if she was stressed with too much light🤔 Have to check more and do some testing. Also fed her 750 ppm, and runoff was 550, so she needs more.. i have to figure this out before she gets worse. 11.01.23/D41 - Watered them yesterday with plain water, as i have been giving a solution with too much nitrogen for this stage. Will transition into a more bloom based solution from now on. Also tuned the lights to 32-37 DLI above canopy tops. 12.01.23/D42 - Defoliated today, think i got most shoots in the light. Tried to keep it at maximum 10% to bit stress them too much.
