Cesur_K_2024 My 3 plants are in their third week. For one, I applied the topping technique today, let's call it Culture C where the topping was done. I filled the soil in 3 layers, with the bottom being acidic at around 5.5~6.0, the middle slightly acidic at pH 6.5, and the top around 6.5 - 7.0 pH ~ in the middle layer, I mixed in expanded clay and crushed dried eggshells. The plants are growing in a cabinet 0.60m wide - 1.20m long - 2.00m high =
They are getting Compo Bio Tomato fertilizer with potassium from me lately, my plan is to fertilize them once or twice a week minimally during the vegetative phase, let's see how the plants react. Now and then, I enrich them with coffee grounds. They are currently getting 0.300 - 0.500 ml of water.
My idea is to keep them not too wet and not too dry. And watering is not done directly at the stem but keeping a distance from the stem and working outwards when watering so that the roots can grow outward and build a stable structure for my plants. The roots sense or feel that water is nearby, this applies to all plants in the world 😉. This way, my stem won't rot or drown if it gets too moist. The plants look quite healthy. They have a slight sweet lime scent.
I have 2 LED grow lights, one is 20 watts and the other I believe is 10 watts. I'm simulating different techniques with light cycles and experimenting a bit to see how the plants grow and react. This is my first AK420 grow. Still, I'm keeping an eye on ensuring my plants don't grow too tall or too short.

Cesur_K_2024 The plants have grown very well. They've produced a lot more leaves and have grown a bit tall.
This is a test for me. This is my first AK420.
One grow I call Neutral. I want to see how it grows when I don't touch it too much.
One grow I named Topping. I'll do minimal work during growth, and the last grow I call Radical. I removed all the lower leaves and almost the middle area leaves. All have super growth and the leaves look very healthy.
What amazes me about all the grows is that the stem is already very strong. I really like that about AK420 🌴💪👍❤️🔥❤️🔥
This is the 4th week.
The nutrients have changed slightly; every other day I give about 0.5L of water, now a bit plus or minus. And I give a full cap of fertilizer in the watering can every 2 or 3 days, it balances out and it works. This is an organic grow without chemicals. The smell strength has almost stayed the same, a bit more or less. Next week I can say more...
The cut leaves smell like fresh cannabis 😅😊
But slightly minty or lime-like, I know that sounds a bit weird 😊👌
Maybe tomorrow I'll put the leaves on my butter toast, it's similar to using cress on buttered bread 😌😁
It's Black Friday now, maybe I'll snag some cheaper AK420 seeds somewhere 😌👍
Tomorrow maybe I'll let 3 or 4 different new and each individual strain seeds hatch.
Still thinking about it 😉

Cesur_K_2024 Last week I did a radical cut on one of my plants and bang, that thing has grown back bushier, stronger, and taller. It's developed really well. I gave everything a bit of a new hairstyle yesterday. Unfortunately, my filter broke yesterday, so I’ll have to come up with something and improvise because of the smell. As for the smell, it’s stronger and almost noticeable in my small room 🤷🙈
All the plants look very good and are healthy.
I also filled my plants a bit with fresh soil 👍

Cesur_K_2024 Radikal has grown very well, it has become my favorite strain. It looks very stylish, quite simple and elegant. AK420 can handle a lot, and now it's flowering time. I'm really looking forward to it. I've still been experimenting a bit here and there, I was bored 😅

Cesur_K_2024 Look at what can be created in such a short time 😄✌️💪❤️🔥
It looks pretty good.
All the leaves look very healthy.
They're growing taller, they're just exploding and continuing to develop new leaves and new buds. Maybe I'll start defoliating next week. But I'll decide that spontaneously.

Cesur_K_2024 It's growing wonderfully. Our culture Radical, which I initially named, wants to keep growing upwards. Looks very nice 🌴
