AK-48 Auto Feminised Nirvana

Harvest Day So, after 94 days, I said my goodbye and thanks, and she was chopped. The wet weight after wet-trimming was 4.33 ounces or 122 grams which is comparible to the first time I grew AK-48. I have to admit that I was hoping that the final weight would be a bit higher, especially as I used the SF-1000 light throughout the grow, but AK-48 auto is known not to give massive yields apparently. Update: when I first grew AK-48 at the start of the year, I got 1.16 ounces dry weight, and this time I got 1.36 ounces dry weight, so the dry yield has improved a bit 😋 I also had some problems during the grow that may have led to less than optimal yields: 👉 1) Watering: I didn't know how to water properly at the start, which may have had an effect. Now, I wait until the top inch of soil is dry, and then I water to give a 10% run-off. 👉 2) Nutes: I fed at 1/4 recommended nute strengths as I didn't want to end up with nute burn. I now think that I should have given 1/2 strength instead as I think she could have handled it 👉 3) Heat / Mid summer grow. My house and grow room get insanely hot in the summer and the temperature in the grow room must have been pushing 30c at times. I know AK-48 is quite hardy, but I still think she was not enjoying the heat. I tried to keep her cool using my AC unit, but that gets very expensive as I was running it 24/7 at times. Without the AC, the temperatures would have been very significantly higher. I am going to wait until things cool down again and then grow in the cooler months. 👉 4) Light intensity: I think she could have handled more light earlier in the veg phase than I gave her. I think that she was a bit leggy so more intense light at the start would have helped probably. 👉 5) LST. I know that I didn't do LST properly and aim to improve this on my next grow. 👉 6) Soil pH: I think that the soil pH needed to be a bit more acidic. I was measuring it at about 6.75, which is OK-ish I think, but I think that something closer to pH6.4 / 6,5 would have been better. So, some lessons to learn and things to think about with the aim of improving my next grow. However at the end of the day, I did get 1.36oz of (hopefully) good quality bud, which was grown and will be cured to the best of my current ability. That will keep me going for a good while (I haven't even got close to finishing the product of my previous grow) and I will top my stocks up again with another grow towards the end of the year. The next grow will be two plants, and I'm thinking LSD-25 and Zkittlez...or something like that. Thank you to everyone that has shown an interest in my grow and have given me much encouragement and advice along the way. I wish you all happiness and good health. See you on the next grow! Howls! 🐺🌿🏍️
