Jays_Not_Here_Man Apparently, weโre supposed to take picks of the seeds germinating, with their packages if possible to identify strains/breeders. Good to know! ๐๐จ
So I was not happy with the growth of one of my AK-47โs, so I popped a Gorilla Glue #4 Auto by Expert Seeds, my thinking is that this is such a short strain (8 weeks or so) that it may just catch up and finish with the otherโs which are 11-13 week strains. Yea may just give the straggler the boot . Anywho, here we areโฆ
I had a tip from a friend to add a splash of hydrogen peroxide to the water used to soak the seed. Iโve done this now 5 times, with two different breeders ( Crop King and Expert Seeds) and ended up with all 5 seeds cracked and ready for the paper towel after 18 hours. Within 36 hours, they were all ready to plant, and weโre able to shake the seed husk without any intervention.

Jays_Not_Here_Man Looking good ๐ง No issues, RH and temp have been steady. Very Impressed with the T4 by AC Infinity ๐๐จ
Iโve been misting the dome, also the leaves with a foliar spray, 2ml Sensi+ CalMag mixed in 1 litre of spring water. Iโll be removing the dome in a couple of days, and will start using ph balanced water soon, still with the CalMag, and will incorporate nutrients somewhere around day 16-21.
Iโm keeping the pot small, and am hoping Iโll be able to keep it and see it through, tent space is quickly becoming a premium with my AK-47โs hitting their stride ๐ฆ๐๐จ First world problems eh! Stay warm Growmieโs.

Jays_Not_Here_Man Day 14- I gave her first โrealโ watering, 500 ml of extremely diluted nutrient solution. This was yesterday, and she is not showing and angry symptomsโฆyet. I just turn her around once in a while when I am in my tent tending the others, otherwise, not much thought this week.
I still plan to let this one stretch tall before I start any LST, if I do. Space is a premium, and I am looking to get a feel for how this cultivar grows, as I have lots of these seeds.

Jays_Not_Here_Man Sooooooo, I received a bunch of different size fabric pots that I had ordered. I decided to transplant (Eeek!) into the new equivalent sized pot. She definitely was not happy, and almost slowed to a complete stop, then the last 2 or three days took off again. Gave her a 1/2 diluted dose of nutrients with a PPM that was fairly low. She is just now seeming to be bouncing back.

Jays_Not_Here_Man Week 4-(Day 29)
She has recovered from my transplant disaster. The combination of that, and the feeding I had given her was a lot of stress all at once, and it shows on some of her leaves that were damaged.
However, she has recovered quite nicely, and has grown into her light quite a bit this week. I havenโt done anything other than leaf tucking. I kept her damaged leaves on as once she corrected herself, no further spread is noticeable.
Iโve got a bigger 6x4x7 tent setup, and am gathering all the necessary components to keep a perpetual grow happening. Looking at the Smart -8 from Medic Grow, amazing value (still pricey) for the footprint it makes! Any ideas on how to convince my wife to let me buy a 1000 dollar๐ก? Lol ๐

Jays_Not_Here_Man Iโve done nothing to this girl, and have hardly given any nutrients, and yet she thrives. No LST yet, no room. Need a bigger light before I can really get the 6x4 going. Iโm going to be making some room in a week or so, as my 1 AK-47 is soooo close to be done.

Jays_Not_Here_Man Going well, it seems like I blinked and this plant was flowering! Keeping the Christmas tree style, just tied down some of the satellite buds to give them more light. Full feeding schedule this week of feed, feed, water around the 850 ppm mark. I have moved everything to my new 6x4x7 foot tent, new Spider Farmer SF4000 and in-line fan are installed, and started some of her sisters and cousins, more to come!

Jays_Not_Here_Man Started to show some Phosphorus and / or Calcium deficiency. Flower comes on fast for this strain, gave her two feeds with an increase of CalMag and โPโ from my NPK nutrient line and she looks great again. Such a short life span for this Autoflower strain, problems come fast! This is the end of her 8 weeks, tricomes are almost all cloudy with a few clear, she still has a bit to go before she is done. She is LOUD, ordered a new filter for the big tent to accommodate some funk I have coming up in ranks at the moment, more to come! ๐ฑ๐๐จ

Jays_Not_Here_Man Day 63- March 2
She is just cruising along, fattening up stinking up my house every time I open the tent. This was the start of her final weekโฆ she is getting cloudier and cloudier, not too many amber tricomes yet, but some. She is greasy, the leaves and buds are resinous not sandy like my AKโs were ๐คคIโve lowered her nutes earlier in the week and have started just phโd water. I wish I had a bit more room when I had started her to get some train going, but I have 3 more already popped and on day 2 going in my new 6x4, lots of space! ๐ฑ๐๐จ

Jays_Not_Here_Man This was her last week. She got PHAT! Big Center cola with 5 or 7 smaller satellite colas, no larf on this plant. She is pungent, and strong smelling, and is so sticky and frosty. One of the best looking strains Iโve grown. She had about 15% amber tricomes and the rest were cloudy. I think she is going to be a couch locker. She is hanging and drying now, 65 degrees and about 58% RH.
Dripping with Resin, stinky like a fruity/ melon/ skunk. Big and dense. Iโm days into drying already and they are still not even close! I canโt wait, taking it low and slow, 65 degrees and about 57% RH

Jays_Not_Here_Man **Update** 96.5 grams dry from 1 Autoflower! Amazing smells, still has some of the ๐ funk. She needs to cure to let the Terps and Flavors come out. She is still very sticky and resinous. Will update once a week or two of cure is done, but with the 1 joint I smoked, full heavy hitter, body buzz and heavy head high. Looking forward to the finished product.
This plant flourished with little work on my part. Good nutrients, and not being too hands on let this beast do her own thing. I would definitely recommend as a beginner strain/auto flower to go with, she is easy to see through to the end. Didnโt really need much attention until flower came on and she fed hard for phosphorus and potassium while she stacked. Iโve got some of her cousins already sprouted and am looking forward to trying some different techniques to see what she can do! Happy growing all ๐ฑ๐
@XII_XII_EarlyRaver,thanks Growmie, I canโt wait till sheโs dry. Iโm thinking about 2 oz dry, she was almost 6 wet with stalks and branching ๐คค
Looks great I'm currently running gorilla Glue Auto from expert Seeds (3rd times a charm) I failed at my last two attempts so I'm being super cautious. Any suggestions would be great ๐
@TheDon, the one I have posted loves heat, like 80โs and humidity around 45%. My nights get cold, even with a heater, they donโt like it, so stay as warm as you can during lights off. The buds come on fast once flower starts, itโs going to show you it needs more phosphorus and calcium from whatever you use for Cal/Mag if you donโt start increasing their dose automatically ( rust spots and decaying spots showing itโs canabilizing itself) it happened to me, quick adjustment to boost the โPโ in my NPK and she was back on track within a week. Odour is strong so have a good filter on hand. Good Luck Growmie! ๐ฑ๐๐จ
Looks great, congrats on winning the photo contest.
I had the same strain. Only thing mine refused to go in flower and was 6 feet in 7 weeks, same thing all 5 seeds (batch nove20).
I swore never Expert again, this may change my mind!๐
@SanderanderS, thatโs funny you say that, the last two I have from this pack, are now in week 7, no flower! I had to start 12/12 three days ago, and I think I finally see flower signs!
