👉 Here we are again with a brand new diary! Testing ZamnesiaSeeds for the 1st time with their new AK-420 feminized. Two seeds were dropped in order to select the strongest seedling. After 7 days, we have a champion and a looser, difference is huge, one of the seedlings didn't make it as fast as the other one, this poor girl will die, I want champions to become monsters and cannot afford to grow a weak/slow plant. Let's see how the survivor will grow in the tiny 45W veg room! I'm waiting for my other run to end before I can bring this AK-420 under my Quantum Boards. Thanks for stopping by, stay tuned folks 👊
Casting is over, I killed the slowest seedling and kept the strongest one. The 1st topping surgery happened by the end of week 02. Let's build this manifold!
No update last week but it wasn't much exciting, she's quite slow due to the tiny airpot and my mini veg room setup (~45W). I've been able to top her for the 3nd time, so the manifold will have 8 apical summits. Waiting for the flowering run to end so I can transplant this baby and bring her under the quantum boards.
OK guys I'm back after being away for 2 weeks. I've proceeded to a final transplantation into a 9L AirPot container, right before I left for vacations. I also added a canopy-ring in order to open up the plant and start some LST without adjusting strings everyday. A friend was in charge of the grow room while I was away, and she did a pretty good job. The AK420 is healthy, she is the smallest plant in the room but her shape and color are amazing. Short inter-nodes. She has 8 main summits and all her apexes are about the same height. She will remain under vegetative stage for 1~2 weeks before flipping into 12/12 light schedule. I can't wait to see her full of buds! Thanks for stopping by 👊
This week was half veg half bloom. I may have to find a new home soon so I've decided to flip all my plants into flowering by the middle of week 08. This lovely AK-420 is the smallest plant in the room, but probably the cutest. Her tight nodes are ready to explode with flowers and her stalks, hidden beyond large leaves, are strong enough to support heavy buds. She had a slight Calcium deficiency that was treated immediately and the recovery was quick. I'm confident she will become a nice bush. She no longer has the canopy ring, in order to "let her breath" and grow vertically. Wait & see! 😎
She's not stretching as fast as the other plants in the room so I had to raise her container in order for the canopy to access to the light. Very compact with tight nodes. Not sure how this is going to end/yield, but we'll see!
This plant is problematic. First of all, the Calcium deficiency is back whereas I feed her correctly and her siblings (GBK+OGK) don't suffer from this, so I assume she doesn't like the light as much as the other strains do, and she probably had too much light for the last weeks so I raised the plant-to-lamp distance, this should slow down her cal+mag consumption, let's see how this goes. Secondly, she stopped stretching, she will remain a short plant, and considering the number of colas on the manifold I built, things will become tricky. I'm already afraid of mold during late flowering, but I will keep a close eye on her and may remove some colas if she doesn't get enough air. Finally, she doesn't drink a lot. I'm a bit confused since I did proceeded to seedling selection and gave her good cares and much love. Wait and see, hopefully she will give some tasty frosty buds 😎 Thanks for stopping by!
In my quest for the perfect modern grow room, I got my hands on a super cool device: SensorPush. Each SensorPush is a tiny low-energy-bluetooth thermomether+hygrometer. I have 1 sensor in the indoor tent and 1 sensor in the outdoor micro greenhouse. Both are connected to the "SensorPush Wifi Gateway", allowing me to access to the datas at anytime from anywhere in the world. SO COOL! I started to collect datas more than a week ago and it has been already so helpful, I noticed that every single adjustment (side fan speed, thermostat mix/max, window opened/closed, driver dimming..) has a direct and immediate impact on the environment, and being able to see the detailed live statistics is the perfect way to adjust the parameters. I had one important issue this week: my timer was acting weird and the light was turning on 40 mins while the plants were in the middle of their night, but thanks to SensorPush I was able to notice the problem immediately and fix what could have gone dramatical. I love these sensors so much that I've started to dig into the SensorPush API, and guess what: after a few minutes I was able to get the datas showing up on my webcam feed, so now my webcam app is also showing me the temp+RH! SO COOL! Thanks for stopping-by and stay tuned for more big-data 😎
She's late compared to the other strains in the room, buds are slowly expanding. This might be related to the lack of stretch, she was not supposed to be so compact/short in my plans. Anyway, she has a lot of bud sites, let's see how this goes, hopefully these will fatten up nicely. Thanks for stopping-by! 👊
Buds are finally fattening up! I've decided to open her main stems a little bit, lack of space in the grow tent made training almost impossible but using this plate method I'm able to expand her arms while keeping her in a quite small surface. Guess what, the plate works really well, it was easy to set up and it helps a lot improving the airflow around the main colas.
Coming along nicely, buds are shaped like christmas trees, slowly expanding. I was worried about mold but this baby didn't show any sign of infection, whereas two other plants in the tent got slightly affected. A few more days to go...Stay tuned! 😎
She went through a week of flushing and 3 days of darkness. Loads of orange pistils and trichomes have turned milky, harvest is close my friends! She should not be too hard to trim, small plant with small buds 😐 Stay tuned for the harvest post, thanks for stopping-by!
What went wrong? Maybe she didn't like the 2 hours of light leak, maybe it's not a good strain for mainlining, or I probably had a poor phenotype... I guess I'll have to push my investigation forward by growing this one again. The "plate-training" technique is definitely something I will re-use later.
