Northern Lights first grow (auto)

Just fan leaves my friend! anything with a stem is a good place to start!

Some autos respond well to trimming, others don’t, you have been doing it throughout this grow and know first hand if she responds well! go for it if she does.

Light is the best thing you can do for bud!

This is the best way to explain what I was trying to say. Not so good with words sometimes :joy:

I’ll grow my first auto soon enough! then I’ll feel more comfortable about direct feedback!

From what I’ve seen, once they hit this point of flower, they don’t get stunted much. This is just from watching other grows and having the one auto under my belt. It’s while they’re “growing” that you have to be careful.

Hey guys @FireGuy @Todd.grobo @Gunk @TheDogMan

Just trimmed her up even more what are your thoughts? over did it or looks about right?
I added the fan back in on the bottom on high to keep the canopy nice and aired!

She has zero stress when I trim and I hate to say it but I have been trimming her every day, and tomorrow is drain and fill day so a fresh batch of nutes for her! She is starting to smell slightly which NL is low odor anyways! @Todd.grobo

Keep trimming lol. Don’t go this far, but get close. You want her open. Notice how you can see pretty much every branch and bud…that’s what you’re looking for.

Thank you sir, I just read about your harvest what a bummer, next go around I hope she does better for you, were these seeds from Growers Choice seeds by chance? I was thinking of ordering critical and gorilla glue from them for next grows but after that stretch idk, I want to go photo period though we will see.

Definitely go photoperiod. And save your money ordering from Grower’s Choice. Order from Neptune’s Seedbank or Well Grown Seeds. They have good genetics that won’t waste your time or money. I prefer Mass Medical Strains as their genetics are some of my favorite varieties and they do great work during the stress testing while making new strains. Plus, they always smell Dank!!

Best of luck to you. Anything sativa leaning you want to flower sooner than the second fan. Plus, it lessens Veg time a bit. I discovered the hard way that autos are hit or miss. I’ll be running purely photos from this point on in my Grobo. I’ll save autos for the tents.

Next Grobo grow will be Alien OG from 207 genetics, of course, they did not breed the strain. Merely made seeds from another cut. Regardless, I’ve had good luck with 207 genetics thus far.
