Hey Everyone!
These AK47 Phenos from President Seeds are in their 20th-ish week of veg and will be starting their 12/12 cycles today.
Have been waiting for my cloning replacement gear to arrive to grab a few clones of the AKs because these are some real study genetics!
Also waiting for a 240W light upgrade as the lights I have right now are really cheap and just don't provide adequate light.
And I know these girls will really enjoy the new light going into flower.
The passed 2 weeks have been no nitrogen based feeds, only water from our 2 x 5000L tanks outside. 1 gets borehole water and the other collects rain water.
Much better than chlorinated tap water! and the pH sits at a cozy 5.9 usually. hardly ever needs amending really which is great.
I SNAPPED THE MAIN STEM OF AK PHENO 1 :O :O !! - Not a total break but it enough of a break to make me worry.
I covered the wound with antibacterial rooting gel and taped it for some support. Has never happened to me going into flower so I hope she will recover. Will keep a close eye on her.
In the tent is also an unknown strain that came from a seed from my last year outdoor grow. I'm not sure the strain.
Also a Lychee seedling that my mother planted a few months ago but was hidden away in the corner of the garden, suffered crazy winter weather and had leaf blight.. found moth worms in the soil so gave it new soil and a home in the tent and the leaf blight seems to have stopped at least.
Trying to save it.. Any tips for Lychee seedlings? 😆
Mid week update.
Think this week will be the official first week of flower, pistils started showing yesterday and are all over today. Will post week update this weekend.
My clones of the two AK phenos are showing small root development, perhaps this weekend I will begin transplanting them for the outdoor season.
Today will be a regular mid week pH balanced watering only. Only feeding them nutrients once a week, after 3 weeks I will slowly ramp up the strength. Warm weather is creating a nice not too humid environment within the tent, perfect conditions for flowering
Thanks to all you awesome people that clarified the grow for me. I just needed that third party guarantee that I'm pushing in the right direction and can only say I'm SUPER EXCITED to get these lights installed. Hope my girls will be as happy as I am but of course they will be!
mid-week update, the snapped stem on the AK Pheno 1 seems to be holding out well. there is hardly any wilting if any at all and it has been 3 days.
mid-week feed with just plain water and pH lowered to 6.0.
End of the week will be another 1ml/L Bud Juice Boom Bloom feed. Will probably continue this weekly for a few weeks and slowly ramp up to 3ml/L. First time using these nutrients.
Will also start with the Bud Juice Symbionics Molasses and Sugars additive after pre-flower shows. Says this can be used during veg but I would think the molasses and sugars benefit the plants more during flower?
Still no signs of pre-flower. But only day 3 of their 12/12 cycle.
The Lychee sapling I'm trying to rescue has new growth starting in 3 different places! Looks like I've managed to pull the little guy back to life! will be pretty cool to have Lychees in a couple of years :D
