New Grower AUTOFLOWER Northern Lights Looks Undeveloped For Its Age?

[TheRealBOSS]

Hey guys, my plant is a Northern Lights Autoflower by the breeders 00 seeds.

These are the latest pics i have on my phone, they are day ~49 since breaking through the soil here.

To me they look pretty undeveloped, how normal is this? Do they look on track or behind?

Grow Details;
- Autoflower Northern Lights by 00 Seeds
- Mars Hydro 400 ll Full Spectrum Led
- 10 Litre plastic pot (with 4 nice sized holes at the bottom for any drainage)
- Soil: Kind soil at the bottom about 3.75lb of it & biobizz light mix on the remaining surface area to fill the pot
- No nutrients/teas as advised by the makers of Kind Soil
- Light schedule was at the beginning 20/4 (on/off) but due to issues with battling the temperature they are now 15/9 (on/off)
- humidity is between 40-49
- temperature is about 21°c (lights off) to about 27°C (lights on)
- 3 clip on fans to circulate air (one right at the top above the light & 1 fan each pointed at each plant blowing air gently on them)

P.S; i have defoliated & LST’d no other training.

Any input/feedback is appreciated

Those plants look happy. I have heard NL can have a long flowering time. @420Forever Had a NL that took a long time to finish. As far as on track I do not know. Healthy is the important part I think.

00 seedz for the win! heya @TheRealBOSS and to afn! and hey, look on the bright side -> u've successfully reached...the halfway point (sorry, couldn't rezist ) but seriously, yup, nobody'z ever really figgered out why exactly, but NL, no matter what breeder it comez from, is quite simply a long runner...and by long, i mean u can count on at least 100d to finish, if not 120...and well, that'z jus the nature of the beast with NL she lookz peachy tho, so whatever ur doin, keep on keepin on (jus make sure u got a damn comfy chair & lotza popcorn, hehe ) ppp

Yeah when i researched other Auto NL grows, they all say the same thing which is; "It takes so damn long to finish up" lol - But i thought even comparing to other Auto NL grows, mines looks a bit behind. I guess you're right on that part though, as long as they're healthy that is the main thing Thanks for the positive words

Hey bud Haha if she can go up to 120 days, i am more like 1/3 the way

This particular plant i LST'd loads lol, tried to expose as many bud sites as i could, this will be a long one though can just feel it, oh well, it's all good

I am at 90 days today on my NL. I'm chopping most of it tomorrow. Mine could probably go a bit longer but I sampled some smaller buds today and the shit is good so I'm going to chop it so I have more room for my Sour Crack and unknown auto I have going. My NL is a freaking beast!

Preferably before the chop and after, if i'm not too late lol

I chopped her, well most of her today. I got pics that I'll add later tonight hopefully.

I have been sampling the smoke by quick drying a few buds. I could probably have gone longer but I needed the space and this is one of the best uplifting highs I've had in a long long time. Stayed tuned for pics.

Your looking great northern lights (the good breaders) is notoriously late at stacking up bud calyx’s and putting on weight until the last few weeks. It’s a shame a lot of people harvest a little early on this strain because she sometimes stalls out mid flower but don’t let that fool you the last few weeks they can explode with weight ! I once thought I had a thin runt and it out flowered everything in the room by a mile all within 2/3 weeks and looked like a completely different plant !!!!

I chopped 3/4 of the plant. I left some buds to see what they're like as mine could have gone a bit longer but I needed room for my sour crack.
I agree, this plant grew and stalled but I just kept her going. I have no scales but I got several ounces of damn good smoke!

I have a RQS NL Auto that's roughly 90 days in and just starting to flower. Definitely thinking this'll go to 120
