3 Royal AK-47 (Auto - First ever)

x3 Royal AK-47 autoflowering. The first week is going well, are growing fast and strong 😁 Let me know what do you think 😄 🌱 ------------- Seems that I have a problem with fungus gnat, or at least seems like that. The problem is that they don't stick to the yellow traps and I even left some potato slices to see if attracts the larvae, but nothing, so I'm starting to think that the small flying bugs are just some type of fliers, my concern is that they come out from the soil. For the moment I'm watering with 3% peroxide hydrogen to avoid an infestation, I don't understand what are these bugs, anyone has any idea? 🤔

Week 2 starts great because I've finally found a way to get rid of the fungus gnat. I mixed 7ml of H20H (3%) with 3 teaspoon of powder garlic in 1l of water (6.8ph) and watered all of my 3 plants with ~0.35ml of this mix, after that sparkled the top soil with black pepper. After 1 hour no more flying fungus gnat. I've also started to use nutrients (0.6ml per plant) Brand name: Agro NPK: 3,6 - 2,3 - 2,7 I hope to see these little girls grow stronger day by day 😁🌱 --------- Day 11: I think that my plants aren't doing well, slow growth, maybe because I've only a 100W full spectrum LED? 🙄 Day 13: I've started to see that the edges of the leaves are curling up a little bit, so I rised the light from 25cm to 35cm. Also gived 1L of water per plant (after 5 days without water) with ~7.5ml of veg nutes, hoping this will make them to feel better... Day 14: Good news, the nutes helped a little bit 😁

The third week starts with some new growth (finally! 😆). But I've also noticed a few things: The edges of the leaves are a little bit curled up and white, so I've rised the light from 25cm to 47cm to see if that's the problem. ------ Day 16: More growth but I'm concerned about the edges of the leaves curling up and some little white spots, looks like light burn, but I'm using only a 100W LED and was always at ~25cm distance until now, now is at ~50cm distance. I hope that's the problem and to fix it by rising the light 🤔 Day 21: They have grown much more compared to the last week, but they are still really small... I'll keep up the journey until harvest, but I think will be a really crap... 😕

Week 4 starts with LST, even if they are developing just now their 4th node I don't want them to grow too high. I'll keep up with the LST in order to allow the light to reach all the nodes. They seems to be healthy (and the stem is thickening) even if the growth is a little bit slower 😁 ------ Day 23: I think that my plants have a cal-mag deficiency. The next watering I'll use some homemade cal-mag. Day 26: They are growing really fast now, with wider leaves and started to develop the internode leaves as well :D Watered them with ~0.3L of water + 7.5ml of nutes and 3ml of some homemade Cal-Mag (egg shell and epsom salt) Day 27 - Morning I decided to FIM my plants, they have 4 full nodes and FIMed the 5th node. They seems to be healthy so I hope I didn't made more damage than good 🤞 Day 28 They responded well to FIM, still growing fast 😁

Week 5 starts with recover from the previous FIMing. I'm surprised 😍 ------ Day 30: Found a better way to LST, the branches are growing much faster now :D Day 34: Sex clearly visible 😁 (female)

Week 6 started with more growth and more LST 😁 🌱👍🏻 ------ Day 38 Amazing how beautiful they are, and until now I'm really satisfied with my first grow 😁🍀🌱

Week 7 started and my girls are flowering 😁 Still 3-4 weeks until harvest 🙄😂 ------ Day 44: Trimmed off some leaves and done more LST 🌱🍀

Untied the plants, no more LST, I'll let them grow freely. Everything seems to be alright, except for my hype and patience, I can't resist anymore ahah 🌱🍀

Week 9 started, some pistils are turning orange/brown, but the buds are still really small.... Let's see how it goes :D

Week 10 started, I'm a little bit worried about the leaves which are turning yellow, is this normally because the plants are approaching their final weeks or could be something else? I'm also wondering when to start to flush, any idea? 😁 🌱🍁🍂

Start of week 11 and I wonder how much is left until harvest. I checked the trichomes and seems to be clear (but I don't have a good magnifier, so is a bit hard to recognize the difference 😑). What do you think? 🌱🌿❄️🍁 ---- Today (28/12) I took some popcorn buds, dried in the oven (I know 😅) and smoked in a nice spliff. The smell in the grinder was something like chlorophyll and no taste, gived me a really light buzz (more Sativa dominant) which lasted really short (maybe an hour). I'm thinking to harvest at the end of next week, what do you think? 🤔 Photos of the popcorn buds sample: https://pasteboard.co/INllxPH.jpg https://pasteboard.co/INln5JR.jpg

I harvested early (maybe 2 or 3 weeks early!) because I ran out and I'll start soon a new growth with 1 Royal Queen, 1 Royal Kush and 1 White Widow (photosynthesis strain). I learnt a lot and the next time I'll use 11.8L pots and if I can afford a better LED light (300w or 600w). Because mostly of my buds were fluffy, the drying process lasted ~55h (~21°C / 35-40% rH) and now I have started curing. Such a low quantity ~17g will not last me even 10 days, but the stuff is good, the taste and the smell are like sh*t but does the job. 😂
