A strain I’ve been very keen to get going! AK is a real classic and an iconic strain for me, I’ve given her a 5Gal fabric pot with BioBizz Light mix and I’ve added some beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi to support the infrastructure development. Off to a flying start, literally 72hours from seed to saying hello. Poked her head up yesterday so Day 1 is 30/03/20. Let’s see how this week goes. I plan to keep a close eye on the environmental conditions and to ensure she’s being fed some gentle nutrients, CalMag to begin with followed by some BioBizz Grow for the extra nitrogen needed at this delicate time 👌 See you all next week, I hope with more leaves to show 🌱✌️ Peace and love, stay safe

An interesting week with this one! Some new equipment turned up which is great as I want to make sure I’m on point with her nutrients. Plenty of light and Air circulation, however some rust spots have appeared, I noted temps were up so lifted the light up a few inches and relocated a fan. Onto the next week, creeping up the nutrients with some silica and nitrogen next week! Stay safe and happy growing! 🙏✌️👍

Rust spots on the leaves, although minimal nutes and a calibrated PH pen. All others in the same environment appear fine? I noted temps were up a little so adjusted controllers and raised the light a couple of inches, What are these spots from?

Hi @Gardener_of_Goodness it seems to me that the substrate is soaked, you have to interval more time between each irrigation and let the soil dry better, control by the weight of the pot. a plant with such a short life span will only show variations in PH if they are really large variations, or very low or very high PH. good luck mate 👍

A great first week of veg, after applying some LST and a couple of feedings the AK was loaded and sprouted out to the other side of the pot. I’m not going to do stress this lady too much as I’m interested to see how much she stretches, Fast Buds say that it’s not one for much height, it would be good to develop a nice flat canopy at a good level. Onto the next week! More nutrients and leaf tucking 🤓 Stay safe, stay growing people! Thank you for stopping by 🙏👌👍✌️

AK exploded this week! Can really see the sativa genetics in this one with such beautiful structure and healthy foliage. I’ve applied LST by parting some of the branches away from the stem naturally allowing more light penetration and air flow. Fast Buds state this as a bushy strain. More nutrients next week including some Bloom mix to really boost the development of the current flowers in sight and to boost production of ones yet to emerge! See you all next week! Thank you as always! 👊👍✌️

Lots of bud site development and swelling this week, the AK responded to LST adjustments and the compost tea feed really well, Slight adjustments to the nutrients feeding this week with Less nitrogen and more potassium and phosphorus. Aroma and stickyness has begun! Onto the next week with plenty more please!

A steady week of not much structure change to the AK just a lot of fattening up, it’s really got a nice earthy smell to it and an impressive spread of trichomes down the leaves. The AK got a good dose of a microbe/compost tea this past week and other than that just inspections. The next week Ahead should be a simple one, gentle feeds and light defoliation 👍 Thanks for stopping by for a looky! Stay safe and keep growing! ✌️🙏👍

A really solid week of growth for the AK this week, seriously danky this one! Looks great how the main cola just keeps putting on weight! Not much changed foliage wise and after the shoot I removed a couple of leaves that were finished. This is the sign of us on the home stretch! 😁 I’m watching the trichomes really develop now and start to amber very slightly at the top. I’ll wait for them to have a coverage of 30% before a chop on this one! I’m guessing there’s about 2 weeks left on this one but I could be wrong! It’s a seriously fast autoflower that’s living up to its description from the fastbuds themselves! 🙏👍👌

The AK sprinted to the finish line this week, really pulling in t he nutrients from the foliage, a beautiful sight to see along side of the ambering pistles and concentration of trichomes all over the colas. I’ve fed phd water the past week and will continue into next week before the chop! A very old school smell from this one, really pleasant. One of those morish scents! Can’t wait to light one up 👌😁

A really good strain to go for if you love your old school flavours, some nice dense sticky buds were the result of 9 weeks of growing and caring. I’m happy with the outcome and every time i go to the jar for a nug, I’m rewarded with a good smoke. Pine, citrus and wood, a really solid earthy but sweet taste. A good mellow head yet a high that can all lead you to some productive activities! 😁 Thank you again Fast Buds! Will be popping some more of this for sure! Will look gorgeous to have a tent full 😍👌
