6-Auto Ak47 fems and 3-Auto Pakistan Ryder fems (400watt MH/HPS)

[growthspurt]

i just use the cfls for side branch penetration now. for all those lil baby leaves underneath the big ones that dont usually see the light. they are lovin it. as far as cost goes. im not trippin on electricity. most oldschool air conditioners run 1000+ watts so do radiatior heaters. i have one sitting next to me that uses 1500 watts constantly. ( no it isnt on )
and it doesnt reallly make a difference in power costs when they are on. so i will run my 1000 watt mh, i am planning to either get an hps conversion bulb. or just buy a whole new 1000 hps system
and a 400 hps for veg and run my old veg box for clones. ( all in a 76'x76x76' tent) with no worries. i mean it might be a bit much to run in an appartment but in a house. that wont cost that much. nor raise suspicion to the power company. so i say go for the max yield and buy the big lights. they arent much more expensive if you know where to look.. i mean i know i only have 2 plants under this fatty light right now but i ordered 7 seeds from the attitude plus im about to buy a whide widow clone from a buddy and through it into dwc for a few weaks til shes big enough to take cuttings off of her. then its over. these girls arent gonna have ANY room to breathe...

Yea when I get to a bigger location then I will def look into more lighting but right now this is perfect, i will graduate and upgrade in due time though. I am looking forward to seeing the white widow overpopulation lol keep us updated!!

yeah i havent really had any interest in growing for a year or so. didnt have the right place to set up. but i just kinda jumped into this grow head first. i started from scratch without any of the equipment i used in previous grows. so im still building up inventory as i move along in the process. all i have right now is half of a bag of FF ocean forest, some root tone rooting hormone and my lights. & my plans change all of the god damned time. i mean i know what i want to do in the long run. but i just keep seeing new methods that drag me in. like last night i was checkin out closetgrowths dwc bubbler setup and i am about to ditch soil altogether when me seeds come, & try to push this process just a little bit faster without having to drop 40 dollars PER 2 ft x2 ft flood tray, 60 bucks for 4 water pumps, etc etc for ebb and flow. dwc means all i need is a big ass bucket a pump and some airstones. shit i dont have time for this soil anymore ya know? ill hook you up with updates as they happen, which aint too much lately lol

 

[growthspurt]

Would I be able to use these bags for the whole grow? considering the ak's should get any taller than 40-60cm I don't think it would be tall enough to cause tipping..

Also is there anything recommended to place under my area to allow me to flush the soil if needed so the water can drain out and then evaporate as needed?

Yea my white dwarf grow was my first ever.. i ended up with 4 out of 5 MALES so I ended with one lone female. It was nice though cause the bud was different very head high, enjoyed it, plus it was my first. You can check that out in my signature.

I had a second grow that was not auto flower and it was nice, black domina sativa.. i didnt have a journal on that but I got about 2 ounces. That was progressively better than my first so I can only hope that this is going to be even better.

Actually if you check my post history and search for black domina or sativa words you will see some pics of it. Along with some random bagseed that got INCREDIBLY huge and was eventually cut down.

you should have collected pollen off of those males and made a batch of seeds..

Yea today.. great idea... then.. if you would have told me that i would have looked at the post like you were crazy LOL

Ive learned so much in the course of the last year with growing and i just cannot wait to see what tommorrow holds. I really want to start my own medicinal service where I have a few patients that im responsible for providing with there medication for the year. I think that would be awesome. I want to get over to cali and attend the course at Oaksterdam university and get my certificate there.

yeah id love to do that as well. i am in washington where its just about as easy to get the card as it is in cali. im not legal right now but it is basically medicine for my own needs... i have severe anxiety/ depression. borderline bi-polar. and smoking really calms me down when i am raging.. basically this op is to fund my move into an appartment. i need to get at least a qp off of 10 plants in about 4-5 months from now. which sounds easy enough. but riight now im jobless. and my girl is on unemployment and we havnt been able to save ANY money. so this is my livelyhood ya dig?

by the way, i woke up this morning to find that one of the cfls was burning the edge of one of my leafs on my sativa. and on the indica some of the top leaves are yellowing around the edges. im wondering if my 1000 watt is too close. its 30 inches away for fucks sake. and i got a thermometer sitting on the edge of my pots soi know how hot it is RIGHT next to the plants.. ( its 78-84 degrees at all times im depressed just thinking about how they even got burnt a little bit. they were getting to be so pretty

damn I wouldn't even know the optimum for that, Ive found my 400watt is good @ 8-10 inches and the cfls are about 4-5 inches away. avg temp fluctuates from 78-81 during day and 72-76 at night. What is your average humidity?

i dont have a hygrometer so im not sure. but it isnt much, im in a basement..iand thats what got me is my cfls were about an inch or 2 away from the plants,, (GOD DAMN they grew out fast...) i didnt count on having to move the light that soon

Yea they start growing fast with enough light... but thats always a good thing!!

yeah im just afraid that now that they got burned it might stunt the growth.. i need these to be healthy i want to get some decent clones in a week or so when i do uncl bens topping technique

Nice to see you Reiss, I pretty much followed and read your whole AK/lowryder grow! I was really impressed with your results and look forward to some good ones myself.


Its crazy these ladies started showing sex already, they aren't but 2 weeks and some change in.

 

[sourdieselismyonlyfriend]

now that i adjusted my lights and my fans it seems like the burn hasnt really spread, the newest set of leaves and the one that just matured arent burned just the fan leaves above the 2nd true node. so im pretty sure i should be all good.. i hope.

 

[growthspurt]

Its crazy on the 14th day and already most of them have shown they are female. There are only two left that haven't shown, one being the one runt I have.

Ive noticed that the Pakistan Ryders are darker than the AK-47's When I rub the leaves of either plant its a skunky/piney smell.. very nice if you ask me.

Here are some pics of the females.

Here is the picture of the runt..

And here is all of them to show better view of size.

So what does everyone think?

Are they decent sized for 14 days?

Also reiss when did yours start showing sex?

See how on the runt the leaves look weird what would cause that?

I think everything should turn out good I have the HPS running now and should start blooming nutes at the end of the week.


Ive been watering about every 2-3 days and watching temps there has been no additives only FFOF soil and the nutes ALREADY in that.
