I decided to do a second grow of Nirvana AK48 Auto. I recently finished an earlier grow of AK48 and was impressed with its manageable size and resilience. I topped before the flowering stage and she was perfectly happy about me doing stuff to her with a pair of scissors. She is tolerant of my (many) mistakes and I was pleased with the yield even though I had less than ideal lighting and small pot size. The nugs are very frosty and extremely resinous...I have to frequently separate the nugs in their curing jars as they will stick together in a big lump LOL. The effects of AK48 are very good - its a very happy and kind high which made me want to grow it again.
For this grow, I have swapped my old blurple light for a nice Spider Farmer SF1000. I also have a 20L fabric pot and a bit more experience now so I am hoping for a big harvest towards the middle of the summer. Lots of massive nugs and some nice hash.
Much love, peace and howls to all 😛
👉16 May 2021 (Day 3) - Gave the seedling 200mL of water.
👉18 May 2021 (Day 5) - Gave the seedling 200mL of water.
👉20 May 2021 (Day 7) - Gave the seedling 500mL of water (water distributed over the whole soil area as it was looking a bit dry).

The AK 48 Autoflower is an indica dominant cross between the AK-48 and the Ruderalis. This hybrid has a longer flowering time, about 77-91 days, and a moderate yield of 300-400g/m2. It has good resistance to mold and temperature changes, and will bring you several harvests per year. The plant has a low growth, up to 100 cm and has a weak smell. AK 48 Autoflower is perfect for novice growers. The effect is well-balanced, euphoric, happy and relaxing. This strain also helps to cope with insomnia, stress and depression. The aroma and taste of the AK 48 Autoflower is the same as that of its predecessor-earthy, floral, berry and sweet. This strain can be consumed in the daytime and in the evening. The THC level is quite low, 14-16%.
Hi mate, i would say she is a little young to start topping. I would wait till the forth node in established before cutting anything off. Good luck and happy growing
Hello. I know that I shouldn't water unless the top inch of soil is dry, but when I do add water should I add enough to get 10% run off even with a day-19 plant? She is in a 5 gallon fabric pot with Biobizz Allmix soil. Does the 10% run-off thing also apply to feeding? Thanks.
I'm using the same soil as you.. good choice 😝.. that's how I water. I also run 2l of plain water through sometimes (to get rid of salt buildup) then I run 2L of nutes. You can't overwater them in one go. It just needs to dry out (not fully) before the next watering. So much conflicting information about.
I soaked my pot 24hours before seed then left it for 10 days and my plants are looking big for their age I think. I water 2L when they feel really light and i haven't had any issues 😊
@Bikerwolf, cheers bro! This ones a little different. Its basically about helping out others with their grow questions. You get points for having the selected answer. I'm hoping to enter in some of the ones which are about my diary to!
@InspireMe, Cheers mate, I reckon another 2 weeks approx...I'll take a close look at the trichomes tomorrow which will give me a better idea. I'll be starting to flush soon. Yep, getting exciting now 😛😎
@green_beast, Thank you. I watered yesterday because she was starting to droop her leaves and the soil was definitely quite dry as its quite hot here at the moment. I am still learning but I try not to over-water, but I will do some more reading on the subject as I want to give her the best conditions. Thanks again for your help 😊
@Inganjawetrust, Thank you. I'm very pleased with the way its going. It will be interesting to see the difference between this grow and my previous AK48 grow which gave me 1.16 ounces of bud and a musketball sized lump of hash from the trim 😀
