Thanks! I didn't know anyone was even reading this

Day 45
55-60% RH
73-78f
1400 ppm x 8 x 2 minutes
6.2 ph

I am incredibly pleased with my second grow and my first autos.

Super cropped every single branch on both plants. Cool and crazy thing is how strong the stems have gotten to where I just can't pinch them so those were left alone. . I didn't notice until last night but the cropped branches get hard as fuck to the point I would have to go high up to do it and the stems are so stiff. Took some stem shots because they are way thicker than the ones from my first grow.

I lightly defoliated NL1 because it just didn't need much. I removed all the pebbles briefly to see the main stem and my root situation. The buds are getting thicker and starting to go down.

Day 48
55-60% RH
75-81f
1200ppm x 8 x 2 minutes
6.2 ph

Just refilled the res and I'll say 1200 ppm but probably tomorrow it will be 1500.

Bud sites getting bigger and I think NL2 stopped stretching as it's 1/2" shorter than NL1 but still smaller in general. My prediction as an optimist

NL1 - 10oz
NL2 - 8oz

Nothing else really going on that I can tell. They aren't growing more leaves and I believe I defoliated them well. Ever since flowering NL2 has been taco'ing pretty hard so I'll raise the humidity back to 60-65%. I ran out of Floralicious... Again. Due to my recent discovery of General Hydroponics attitude towards cannabis and their being owned by a nefarious company I will be switching to MegaCrop for my next grow.

Day 50 - start of week eight!
60-70% RH
77-82f
1300 ppm x 8 x 3 minutes
6.1 ph

Having salt build up issues so I increased the feed time since I was getting hardly any runoff again. Calyxes are continuing to develop and super cropping seems to have only been beneficial thus far with super hard and strong stems. Not sure when to start the dry portion of KoolBloom so I haven't. I thought increasing the humidity would fix the taco on NL2 but it didn't. I'm going to leave the humidity for now because the temps returned to normal but I'll drop it in a week or two. Running my fans on high and nothing special to report.

Day 61
50-55% RH
76f
800 ppm x 8
5.8 ph

Cleaned out the reservoir and did some half strength MaxiBloom with full strength dry KoolBloom and half strength CaliMagic.

NL1 -
Buds getting dense and filling out from top to bottom on upper canopy. Mid canopy still fattening up while lower parts of canopy are pop corn that is getting dense. Removed more fan leaves.

NL2 -
Removed more fan leaves. Everything is budding and filling out but not looking too dense. It's two weeks behind NL1 and it shows but it is also bigger.

More pics

These ladies have 45ish days(left) and 30ish days(right). Had some ph issues due to the coco drying out but otherwise it's been a pretty easy grow.

Day 76
49% RH
73f
650 ppm x 8
6.0 ph

Buds are packed, stacked, and getting heavy. I have several branches on both plants heading towards a 90° angle, already there, or past it at this point. The super cropping turned out well and left my branches strong enough to hold the bud. Currently running CaliMagic, KoolBloom dry, and MaxiBloom at 650 ppm.

I get hints of fruit, coffee, rotten fruit, and something like vitamins. Still no amber trichomes but NL2 had a few more weeks than NL1 to go anyway plus it grew larger with more bud sites. It is very sticky and coated in resin.

NL1 is on the left and NL2 on the right.
