So while my new set up arrives , I thought I'd do a DIY project with the free autos . Home made veg box and home made LED light . Main goal of this project is to see if the beautiful plant can be grown easy and on a cheap budget but with the good qualities of more advanced set ups . Time to let the experiment commence
Sooo today is start of week 2 of my budget autos ak47. 10am lights due to come back in at 11am for 20hr cycles so will give them a nice water no nutrients
Half way through week 2 my mars hydros 300w arrived , so upgrading the home made box to the home Made closet ....... don't worry the budget led light set up will continue to be modded and used as a start off light , maybe more ?!? ...... starting to 💚 My babies lol
So it's the start of week 3 , to say the plants had a very randomised environment up until this point , and 2 plants are in 1 pot ...... all 3 aks are looking good . Soo I'm going to keep them in the room , can just make friends with my new strains I want to put in there .... sure they will get along
So the start of week 4........ day by day the plants are showing nothing but good signs . Might not be growing tall as thought but looking healthy .
Started feeding the plants 2ml per l of sensi grow a+b mid week in week 3 , now upped it to 4ml , light is 19" above , temp ranges from 27.4 - 24.4 and humidity around 40-60%.
The 3 plants are now surrounded by the new babies , so another light to Be added and hopefully the ak47 will like the new additions to the room
So start of week 5 , had a little nutrient burn . All 3 plants looking bushy ..... may consider cutting a few leafs . The 2 plant 1 pot is looking surprisingly good .
Gave just water to flush grow nutrients out , will slowly work my way up with bloom through the next 2 weeks starting at 1.5ml per litre
Hoping next week or so will show growth in height 🙏
End of the week , not much height improvement but the buds are forming ....... not bad for a experiment
So half way through week 7 now ...... was on holiday for a week so was happy to see these . Only had slight nutrient burn as I had to give them a good feed to last the week .
Looks like they will run longer than the 70days . But so far they are forming nice buds, icing up and giving a nice zesty smell off
Buds are getting fatter each day . Giving off a nice zesty grassy smell now , drinking loads at the moment . On one plant I noticed a few brown spots on some of the leafs on the top cola . The small fan leafs so I just cut them .
Really getting sticky. Well , will introduce overdrive next week
Going to slowly reduce the bloom and give them more overdrive . Planing on starting flush next week so will be getting few quite well this week . Got a lovely lemon smell to them , really can't wait to get them down and try
@Justjewit,you can well tell but if this is a budget grow which I can imagine your trying to save money we have all been there your doing a excellent job of it piece
@CANNASIM, thanks pal , they have had a a very random 2 weeks , but settled now , and yeah the strain seems to be strong soo hoping for the best , nice
@LedGrower, thank you pal . And for this I'm just using some old led spot lights , just updated them to full spectrum, as it's a array of spot and strip lights . All wired to individual drivers . No fans at all needed . So far , the plants are doing just as they would under my mars hydro 2 300w ..:... hopefully I can keep adapting this and maybe advise those who don't have £100s to spend on equipment. As so far the set up is using all of 43p a day
@DabCrab, I'm debating as I've just popped more beans and would like to stick them all together . Due to the conditions they've had , I reckon they are a week behind, but do plan on topping the 2 planter
