The leaves have these strange spots. Is this sign of nitrogen leaching for buds.
Is it normal or am i doing anything wrong?
Thank you

They look to be getting phosphorous deficient... Also seems they are curling upwards which I think means too hot?

Still got a month to go. I doubt trichs are amber. You might be getting them confused with the hairs.
Its been 9 weeks, planning to harvest in 7-8 days. I thought hairs are tricromes, but i finally found tiny tricromes with 60x.
Are the attached tricromes cloudy or transparent? I want to harvest when they are 1/2 amber
I found it was a little tough to find tricromes with a 60x. I wish i had 100x

Thank you allIMG_1734.JPGIMG_1732.JPGIMG_1724.jpgIMG_1717.jpg

Also i saw some weird sack below a lower bud. Not sure what it is..

Good job Robin. You can prepare to harvest at your leisure.

I would recommend going to photoperiod plants for your next grows.
Photoperiod will give you more yield and higher quality buds.

Thanks Mr Ganja, the trichomes still look a little milky, I will harvest them this weekend. I see the some shades of purple around the bud.

I will get photoperiod plants next time.
I was thinking photo period uses only 12 hrs light and autoflower can flower with 20hrs, so may be autoflower can produce more bud due to extra hours.

The plant smells really nice, its a little skunky and sweet/citric aroma, I wish i could buy this aroma in a room freshner can.
I do not have a carbon filter and this has smell in all my house for the last 3-4 weeks. I got Northern lights thinking that it will not smell that bad and i could do without a carbon filter. bad idea

you're getting really close. i was going to ask about the odor during the grow and your last post answered it. i've grown several NL and most are really low odor. good job. don't forget to give us a smoke report. GL
