Anyone have an idea of how long the flowering stage lasts an a AK auto feminised?
I'm about 4 weeks into flower and wondered because first time growing and all that, she's around 66 days old.IMG_20200610_210647.jpg

Looking really nice buddy, I’m about 2 and a half weeks behind you at the moment. Doing (Blue) Ak-47. Also a auto, from your one looks like in comparison to mine right now I’d say you were most definitely on the right track

Yeah thanks for the reply, it's not been easy and yes I made a tone of rookie mistakes but I've managed to get her to flowering stage, I have learned quite a bit since starting her with next to no experience, my other three northern lights are doing much better, they popped around may 6th,.IMG_20200610_210630.jpg

71 days old, hairs starting to turn brownish, I'm thinking I'm getting close, maybe someone with more experience could add their opinion?View attachment 4595150View attachment 4595160
Few more weeks at least. If your trying to base your grow off of the breeders expected flower times, dont. These are best case scenario figures. You had a few problems early on and the ak still doesnt seem to have bounced back all the way. Just give it time, it will be ready when its ready

Thanks for the reply Irkin, most appreciated, I kinda thought it had more to go but just not sure how long.

When all the pistols go brown and recede and the calyxs swell up, then start checking trichomes. Not sugar leaf trichomes either, the ones on the buds
IV just bought a jewlers magnifying tool for that reason, do you think the buds might fatten up some more ?

No. Healthy until chop. I've tried it side by side with multiple soil grows of the same strain and could not tell a difference. Tasted the same, burnt down to white ash. Plants that recieved a 10 day flush always looked like hell when it came time to chop and were more of a pain to trim
I believe I won't be flushing this plant, IL continue with the bloom nutes for another week or two and see how I go.

If i could give you a cookie i would. Flushing is a myth to sell flushing products. Flushing and bad cure will still give shit taste. No flush and good cure will give good taste.

glad that you managed to keep it alive man, i follow this plant from quite some time, still looks like there could be more, but anyways its learning curve.

Absolutely agree mate, she's not going to be great, but you've got to get yourself doing it and learning along the way, there's only so much reading up you can do, actually doing it in real time is what's needed to get the feel for it.
