Northern Lights Auto Grow Diary

Greetings friends,
Having just killed both of my first attempts, I decided to share a diary of my 3rd, another NL auto. Right now it is just a wee seed which sat in tap water for 14 hours and then placed in a damp paper towel. Let's hope it sprouts a tail soon!
The problem with the last one had to do with not calibrating my pH pen, which led to me thinking the pH was always dropping when in fact it was climbing higher and higher. When the plant, which was starting to bud, seemed to stop growing for a few days, I frantically kept changing the nutrient soluton aand disturbing the plant. One day it drooped and never recovered. I chopped it down and have begun the process yet again!
Thanks,
Agent Pup

Who is the seed breeder?

Maybe start an auto under more simple terms - RTU ( ready to use ) bagged soil. Takes out the guess work right from the start.

No PH needed on fresh medium as it is already pre-buffered and would handle an autoflower for weeks all by itself. No feed guesstimates or other things.

Besides you are only trying to grow it out for about a 100 days ( give or take ). So complicated feeds / setups are not required.

The autoflower would acclimate to its container “ soil “ and feed from that.

What is your grow medium? I would follow @Budzbuddha’s advice and keep it simple. Forget all those nutrient solutions and use a dry amendment. If you’re growing in soil, anyway.
