Buds instead of Bullets! AK-47 XL Divine

CheeRz VEG WEEK 1: AK-47 XL | Divine Seeds ​🌱 VEGETATIVE PROGRESS ​The AK-47 XL from Divine Seeds is off to a very promising start. After popping out of the soil, she’s already working hard on her first set of true leaves. The growth is staying impressively compact. ​Looking at the photos, the seedling has developed a thick, sturdy stem right out of the gate. The foliage is a vibrant, healthy green. I noticed the leaf edges were reacting slightly to the light intensity, so I’ve increased the light height to let her settle in without stress. This should help her focus entirely on leaf and root expansion. 📈 ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​Started with a gentle nutrient mix to boost the root zone and overall vitality. The 6.5 pH is the sweet spot for this setup. ​Current Feeding Schedule (per Liter): ​Root-Juice: 2.0 ml/l ​Acti-Vera: 1.0 ml/l ​Calmag: 0.5 ml/l ​Parameters: ​pH: 6.5 ​Relative Humidity (RH): 70% ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​The vigor is definitely there. I’m keeping the RH stable at 70% to ensure she doesn't lose too much moisture while the roots are still small. With the light adjusted and the humidity high, she’s in the perfect zone to explode in Week 2. 🚀

CheeRz ​🌿 VEG WEEK 2: AK-47 XL | Divine Seeds ​🌱 VEGETATIVE PROGRESS ​The AK-47 XL is showing some serious vigor this week. The transition from seedling to an established vegetative plant is going smoothly. She’s putting out larger, healthy fan leaves with a beautiful deep green hue. The node spacing remains tight, and the plant is developing a nice, bushy structure. ​Looking at the photos, you can see the secondary growth points starting to peek out, which means she’s preparing to branch out. The stem is continuing to thicken, providing a strong base. The overall health is 10/10 with no signs of stress or deficiencies. 📈 ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​Maintaining the current feeding schedule as she responds perfectly to it. The root system is clearly expanding well, allowing the plant to take up nutrients efficiently. ​Current Feeding Schedule (per Liter): ​Root-Juice: 4.0 ml/l ​Acti-Vera: 2.0 ml/l ​Calmag: 0.5 ml/l ​Parameters: ​pH: 6.5 ​Relative Humidity (RH): 69% ​VPD: 0.94 kPa ​CO2: 731 ppm ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE​ Environment is the key! My VPD is currently sitting at 0.94 kPa, which is the sweet spot for early veg. This allows the plant to transpire perfectly without stress. The leaf tips are looking sharp and the symmetry is great. I’m very happy with how this Divine Seeds genetic is handling the current intensity. Staying the course! 🚀

CheeRz ​🌿 VEG WEEK 3: AK-47 XL | Divine Seeds ​🌱 VEGETATIVE PROGRESS ​We have reached Week 3, and the plant is showing massive structural development. The biggest move this week was topping the plant to break apical dominance and promote a more horizontal, bushy growth pattern. ​The recovery has been seamless. The secondary branches are already pushing out with high energy, taking advantage of the redirected growth hormones. The main stem has thickened up significantly, and the fan leaves are broad and healthy, indicating that the plant is thriving despite the high-stress training. The canopy is starting to fill out nicely, setting the stage for a more productive structure. 📈 ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​Still following the established feeding routine. The plant’s metabolic rate is clearly increasing as it develops more growth points. ​Current Feeding Schedule (per Liter): ​Root-Juice: 2.0 ml/l ​Acti-Vera: 1.0 ml/l ​Calmag: 0.5 ml/l ​Parameters: ​pH: 6.5 RH: 65% ​VPD: 0.94 kPa ​CO2: 600 ppm ​Temperature: 23°C ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​Topping was a success. By removing the main tip, I’m encouraging the side shoots to catch up, which will eventually lead to a more even canopy. The node spacing remains incredibly tight, so I’m expecting a very dense plant. These Divine Seeds genetics are handling the training like a champ—no stalling, just straight growth. 🚀

CheeRz ​🌿 VEG WEEK 4: AK-47 XL | Divine Seeds ​🌱 VEGETATIVE PROGRESS ​Moving through Week 4 and the response to the topping has been phenomenal. The growth hormone distribution has shifted completely, turning this AK-47 XL into a beautifully thick, bushy canopy with multiple strong shoots pushing up. ​Looking at the lower structure, the main stem is getting incredibly thick, acting like a solid tree trunk already. The node spacing remains tight, and the plant is developing a very dense structure from the top-down view. The fan leaves are wide, lush, and a healthy dark green, showing that she’s soaking up the light and converting it efficiently into rapid growth. No shock, no slowing down—just pure vegetative vigor. 📈 ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​She is processing the current feeding well, supporting both the thick stem development and the new branch expansion. ​Current Feeding Schedule (per Liter): ​Root-Juice: 2.0 ml/l ​Acti-Vera: 1.0 ml/l ​Calmag: 0.5 ml/l ​Parameters: ​pH: 6.5 ​Relative Humidity (RH): 69% ​Temperature: 23°C ​VPD: 0.88 kPa (Perfect spot!) ​CO2: 716 ppm ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​The canopy is filling out perfectly after the top. We now have a great multi-topped baseline, and the side branches are catching up fast to create an even profile. Stem thickness is 10/10 for Veg Week 3, which is exactly the robust foundation needed for the heavy AK-47 XL yields later on. With a stable VPD of 0.88 kPa, environmental stress is at an absolute minimum. Ready to explode! 🚀

CheeRz ​🌿 VEG WEEK 4: Shaping the Canopy | AK-47 XL ​🌱 VEGETATIVE PROGRESS ​The AK-47 XL has officially hit Week 4, and the growth has been explosive. She has recovered perfectly from last week's topping and is now branching out aggressively, filling up the space with multi-topped potential. ​The big moves this week were the introduction of a Scrog (Screen of Green) net and a light defoliation session. We installed the net to begin spreading out the multiple main shoots, training them horizontally to ensure every growth point gets maximum light exposure. The defoliation was focused on removing some of the larger, lower fan leaves that were shading the inner canopy. This not only improved airflow significantly but also directed the plant's energy towards the newly trained shoots. As you can see, she's staying remarkably bushy and robust, with those massive "XL" genetics showing through in every stem and node. 📈 ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​I’ve bumped up the nutrient concentration a bit this week as the plant's metabolic demands have clearly increased with the added branching and the stress recovery from training. ​Current Feeding Schedule (per Liter): ​Root-Juice: 1.0 ml/l (scaling down) ​Fish-Mix: 1.0 ml/l ​Bio-Heaven: 2.0 ml/l ​Acti-Vera: 1.0 ml/l ​Calmag: 1.0 ml/l (upped for structural strength) ​Parameters: ​pH: 6.3 ​Relative Humidity (RH): 64% ​Temperature: 24°C ​VPD: 1.00 kPa ​CO2: 804 ppm ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​The transformation this week is real. By spreading the shoots through the Scrog net and cleaning up the bottom, we’ve created a perfectly even canopy that will support a massive number of top colas. Airflow is much better now, and the VPD is right on the money at 1.00 kPa, promoting ideal transpiration. She handled the defoliation well—no stalling whatsoever. Ready for the final stretch of veg! 🚀

CheeRz ​🌼 FLOWER WEEK 1: The Switch & The Stretch | AK-47 XL ​🌿 FLOWERING PROGRESS ​We have officially flipped the switch! Week 1 of the flowering phase is underway, and the AK-47 XL is transitioning smoothly into her reproductive stage. The light cycle is now set to 12/12, and the plant is already responding beautifully to the change. ​The initial flowering stretch is officially on. Looking at the canopy, the multiple main shoots are pushing up aggressively through the Scrog net. Thanks to the training from the previous weeks, the canopy structure is looking incredibly full and well-distributed across the entire tent. The foliage has a stunning, vibrant green color with zero signs of deficiencies. The lower stem and individual branches are thick and robust, which is exactly the kind of skeletal strength needed to hold up the heavy colas this genetic is known for. No transition stress at all—she is ready to stack! 📈 ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​With the flip to 12/12, I have adjusted the feeding schedule to support the early stages of bud formation. I've introduced the flowering boosters while maintaining the structural additives. ​Current Feeding Schedule (per Liter): ​Bio-Bloom: 1.0 ml/l (First introduction!) ​Top-Max: 1.0 ml/l (First introduction!) ​Fish-Mix: 1.0 ml/l ​Bio-Heaven: 2.0 ml/l ​Acti-Vera: 1.0 ml/l ​Calmag: 1.0 ml/l ​Parameters: ​pH: 6.5 ​Relative Humidity (RH): 64% ​Temperature: 28°C ​VPD: 1.33 kPa ​CO2: 646 ppm ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​👀 Status Report: The exciting phase begins now. Introducing Bio-Bloom and Top-Max at 1.0 ml/l each gives her the perfect amount of phosphorus and potassium to kickstart flower development without shocking the root zone. Over the next few days, I’ll keep tucking the tallest stretching shoots under the net to expand the footprint and keep the canopy perfectly flat before letting them fully shoot up. The sheer vigor of this Divine Seeds pheno is incredible. Let the building of the colas begin! 🚀

CheeRz ​🌼 FLOWER WEEK 2: The Stretch Continues & First Pistils | AK-47 XL ​🌿 FLOWERING PROGRESS ​We are moving through Week 2 of flower, and the AK-47 XL is in full transition mode. The flowering stretch is at its peak right now, with the branches pushing vertically and filling up any remaining gaps across the grid. ​The canopy has become incredibly dense and uniform. The most exciting development is that beautiful, light-green "fluffiness" appearing at the center of all major growth points—the first clear pre-flowers are pushing out with bright white pistils. ​The skeletal structure is looking great from every angle. The lower section is perfectly clean, allowing maximum airflow underneath, while the upper branches are trained beautifully through the Scrog net. The petioles show a slight purple tint, but the fan leaves themselves are a picture-perfect, healthy dark green, showing that she is absorbing nutrients flawlessly. 📈 ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​She is developing a massive appetite as the stretch demands a lot of energy. Keeping the feeding steady and making sure she gets enough building blocks for the upcoming flower explosion. ​Current Feeding Schedule (per Liter): ​Bio-Bloom: 2.0 ml/l ​Top-Max: 1.0 ml/l ​Fish-Mix: 1.0 ml/l ​Bio-Heaven: 2.0 ml/l ​Acti-Vera: 2.0 ml/l ​Calmag: 1.0 ml/l ​Parameters (Weekly Averages): ​pH: 6.3 ​Relative Humidity (RH): 64.4% ​Temperature: 26.5°C ​VPD: 1.23 kPa (Great average for mid-stretch!) ​CO2: 632 ppm ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​The stretch is real, but completely under control thanks to the net. I’ve stopped heavy tucking now to let the bud sites shoot up vertically above the screen. The plant is drinking heavily right now, which shows her metabolism is running at full throttle. This Divine Seeds genetic is responding perfectly to the environment—we are set up for a massive canopy of tops!
