Hello everyone, happy to be here :).
This is my first grow ever so wish me luck and provide advice anytime you feel doing so. I put my LED 24inches from the soil level, I don't use light until I see first green element popping from the ground.
Ak47 I started soaking in wet cotton pads on 19th, after around 18 hours I'll be checking its condition, if it cracks I put it in soil.
If you look at this picture you can see slight damage to one of the cotyledons, I don't think it's due to light as the damage is on the bottom side, maybe I watered it to much. Should I worry?
Not seeing any damage it just looks like it's trying to finish coming out of the soil so it can stand upright and pray to light. So don't worry the seedling will be fine.
1. 2nd week just started, looking fine. About 5cm height and sitting 63cm from light source. Humidity around 45-55%.
2. Increased humidity to 50-60%
3. Starting from day 9 I started giving some general purpose nutrient for green plants NPK 7-5-6, to start with I diluted 2ml in 1,5l (recommended was 10ml in 1,2l) so I used like 1:6 of recommended dose which should be just fine.
My light is https://phytolite.com/pl_PL/shop/product/cree-naked-cob-60w-327
Recommended dist. to plant top by manufacturer is 40cm (16in) . Mine dist. is 58cm (23in) currently as I tried to keep it far during seedling stage, can I lower the lamp to 40cm at this stage? (day 11)
LST started on day 15
Day 17 more LST plus some defoliation.
Day 19 more LST, plant is finally back to growing. Looking good and healthy.
Day 21 nothing much going on, pumping light 18h a day and watering as soil gets dry. I thought I might trained her to much at this early stage or removing some leafs was also too early.
I try to expose as much as possible to the light.
Can you tell me what to do with smaller flower sites? Should I remove them now or later in the flowering stage, I don't want to have many popcorn buds.
Defoliate it a bit on day 28 and day 29, wasn't sure if it's right but it seemed so. So far looking good, plant is flat and all canopies are more or less on the same level. I leave those big leaves as they don't cover anything.
Day 31 all looking nice and healthy, I water it with nuts every now and then let's say every second watering with not full dose, and not regular ratios of NPK
Day 32, LST again, looks like this is the last one
Day 35, unfortunately no flowers yet.
I'm getting worried about flowering, it's day 33 now and there is no single hair, I'd like to cut the plant by end of July the latest.
This is Auto Ak47 crossed with AutoMazar strain according to seed bank I got it from.
I wonder how much longer can it take for auto to flower?
Day 36, I found pistols when inspecting her today, fortunately she's female 😊.
She's having a stretch currently, I needed to defoliate it twice, at day 39 I know that in future I'll need bigger box.
Last week plant got into heavy stretching mode, top branch grows above others, rest is more or les even, many small branches reachad surface in search for light not sure what bud will grow on them, we'll see. Today and yesterday I watered it twice with water only, 1.5l each time. Tomorrow or day after tomorrow I'll put some nuts for flowering.
Week 8th started, looking healthy.
I tied down top branch so others can catch up.
Defoliated a bit again.
Day 51 pulled top cola bit down with string and cropped tiny bit 4 branches.
Feeding with full dose of nutrients since yesterday.
Photos for day 53 added, no more defoliation 😁.
I am thinking of cutting all of the smaller and lower branches below line i drew I am going to cut down all the stuff. This is day 53, in terms flowering stage is it OK to still cut some branches?
On th photo from the top you can see how many tops will remain more or less.
Slowly growing, top cola started changing appearance of its hairs.
Day 62, 20cm to light, plant height 70cm.
Day 63 put some wire to control top collas
When to start flushing? I observed trichomes and they are maybe 50% milky or unclear. Buds fatten up just recently.
What do you think when can I start my flush?
Hi there,here’s my rule of thumb for harvesting or flushing period.During that time,the leaves will show deficiencies, yellowing and most of the white pistils become orange.The best method is using 60x microscope and check trichomes colour on buds.If trichomes are mostly milky/cloudy about 80/90 % and fill with some amber colour, it’s the time to harvest or flush if you are growing inorganic.Happy growing... ✌️
yo esperaria una semana mas , antes de enpezar a lavar..
tambien como gustes compañero...
depende si te gusta bien maduros y cargantes o inmaduros y algo mas activos...
One more question after another 5 days of growing. Planning on flushing on Saturday, later I leave for short holiday. Would you wait longer than 2 days for flush?
Thanks
It depends of the amount of nutrients you used during the life cycle. The more you used nutrients the longer is the flush. In Soil 1 week flush is the minimum recommended.
After 125 days from seed to harvest, 2 weeks flush was done. There was 160g on scales (5.6 oz). Some more info in few weeks time after drying and curing.
I had harvested only top 10-15cm of the plant, rest was too fluffy and not well exposed to the light so I decided not keeping it.
Cheers!
