Growing it
Easy
Resistance
Strong
Grown this strain twice now; fairly simple and no real issues from seedling to vegetative to flowering averaging a 10-11 week cycle using aeroponics. The only issue is keeping it healthy looking at final days; seems to change on nute needs significantly on last couple weeks. Still don't have it dialed in correctly.
At 24-36 inches; yield per plant seems to be 2 ounce to 3.0 ounce dried bud on some cheapo supposedly 1000-2000watt LEDs
Stats below are for the AK47; i'll add results for green crack later this week (still drying)

Reviews. Nutrient
Worked great until end of cycle; never used the suggested amounts but instead just based on what was coming back from plants on ppm vs water. If ppm went up = less nutes, if ppm went down = more nutes
End of cycle into bloom; something feels wrong with nutrient mix. Was dropping down to 500-600ppm to get it to balance and not show nute or nitrogen burn on plants.
Works great for my water which has almost no trace mineral / micro-nutes content from tap (30-40ppm).
Before using i couldn't get anything to grow past seedling stage.
Reviews. Lamp
Great strain for noob growers like myself, all consumers were very happy with THC content and the effects. Harvest was fairly easy and the overall grow was not too challenging. The only issues i had was infestation of white flies a couple times (some neem oil finally wiped them out).

Grow Questions
zerobanestarted grow question 5 years ago
Leaves are fanning upwards and undergrowth is huge in flowering phase. Should i be worried about the upwards fan, should I trim on this point or just leave as is and just remove dead leaves?

DWCHCanswered grow question 5 years ago
When mine get to this point, I deleaf anything that doesn't have trichomes showing or are laying ontop of another bud..the flower auxins are in abundance and allowing a higher par down deeper into the canopy can really help out lower bud development. One rule I follow is to avoid removing more than 30% of the canopy on any day, usually followed up with a light nute application and a few days rest before another selective deleaf. To this end, I've reduced workload during trimming and have had less popcorn buds. On a side note, resin production is a defence mechanism of the plant to discourage browsing by pests. When the right amount of leaves are removed, the plant will respond with an increase in resin to counteract the browsing.. I don't know of any science study's that have been done in this area, but my trials have shown a noticable difference..
Cheers

Thanks @dwchc and @Cannibalgardens
Harvest in next 48-72 hours pending time with holiday; i'll update the journal with results.
I did 2 experiments for this grow that support both comments. Keeping a consistent canopy seems key for yields, i'll go little more "cutty" with reducing canopy towards middle of bloom to increase light on next grow and run a control with no canopy cutting as a test.
1. the green crack on right side - 1 plant no trimming, 1 plant moderate, 1 plant heavy trimming throughout grow to keep a solid canopy. I'll weigh out results, but so far the the heavy trim is showing the largest colas.
2. The left side is the ak47 - it has 1 clone growing in back and 1 re-grow on same plant that was harvested on my first grow in front. Curious to see the yields and strength on re-grow.
One thing I did notice was the nutrients starting spiking on return res; 800 on feed / 1200 in return. Even when i dropped to 200 for flush, the return was still showing 600-700ppm. Interesting; not sure on the "why" or what nutrient is coming back at such a high level.

"Cycle time: 7 seconds on / 5 minutes off " for the top feeding right? very informative 👌

@CRiSPrGrow,
Thanks! Will add more info on setup for week 2.
Using a mistking repeat cycle timer; the 7s-on/5m-off is the spray cycle for the aero nozzles. The aim at top of rootzone and spray a 50 micron mist.
