------STRAIN------
GYO GREEN AK47 = GG AK47.
The finished plant is sativa-dominant, of medium height, and produces great yields after a relatively short flowering period of around 60 days. The plant produces an extremely powerful odour and a memorable high. The THC levels are darkly dangerous 20% plus, as evidenced by the resinous crystals that coat the plant from root to tip.
/BOUQUET
Be careful! AK47 fires out an unusually strong, sweet and fruity aroma.
/EFFECTS
AK47 will leave you relaxed and mellow. This sativa-dominant hybrid delivers a steady and long-lasting cerebral buzz that keeps you mentally alert and engaged in creative or social activities.
------GENERAL COMMENT------
The first 7 days of this grow is almost complete, Blueberry and the AK47 germinated fine, had some issues with the Candy Kush Express, so the last seed is germinating, and seams that it will emerge soon! I'm optimistic, so basically till now we will do a free seed run, since this ones came with the genetics I purchased from seedsman and gyo green. 😎😛

First feed with a very light nutrient dose. Will implement some cal mag next water.
Humidity has been a little hard to control, is oscillating a lot.
------GG.AK47 COMMENT------
So for the sake of productivity the setup is posted as an image as well as the strain quick info.
I wanted to try the germination plugs and must say that i din't like the results, so i will go back in the germination technique by using straight soilless after the soaking in water for 12-20hrs.
She took a bit to emerge, and was born with a cut in the cotyledons, as is possible to see in the pics, leaves are sharp, and unbalanced as a early mutation, can't id how this will evolve, makes me curious, and here nothing is trow away, if they get out of the medium, my goal is to obtain the buds. 😉 Happy growing and good holidays! 2018 is approaching, good vibes and a lot of light to all!
------GENERAL COMMENT------
Girls are moving forward, a lot of growth for the week, the two strains are absolutely different in terms of structure. Unfortunately the three Candy Kush did not sprout, so I will run only this two girls for this cycle. Down a bit the watering mainly doing a feed every other day, trying to manage the root mass to expand. Choose to do natures candy also in veg since i'm using recharge regularly, is 0-0-0 not noticing a lot of EC raise with it, velo kelp came in to play also. One dose of sensi Cal Mag this week since i notice some paling going on, my medium is inert by the way.
------GG.AK COMMENT------
This strain is going slower compared to her sister, looks good though, less foliage, stretching more, I see more sativa elements taking over.
------GENERAL COMMENT------
Nice and easy, liking to grow this girls, they are vigorous and i already can see white roots at the bottom of my 15l pots, so they rooted very well.
Training wise, just some FIMing in the two girls.
Had an issue with the humidifier forgot to turn off and almost burnt my LED, as the humidity raised to 99%, like growing underwater lol...
------GG.AK47 COMMENT------
This girl is exceeding my expectations, she just took off, seen massive growth, no problems at all, superb strain, she just like everything about life :).
------GENERAL COMMENT------
Everything going well, the AK47 is much more vigorous than the BB, let's consider that she was more stressed.
So i'm putting up the week timelapse, is a pain to do it but i found the result very interesting will try to put up one weekly. This week was a busy one, opted to a defoliation to be able to even the bud spots introducing a cage, and doing some LST, training to the cage to make a more flat pre flower spots in that way the flowering will be easier to control. So the plants grew in hight but was trained to be more bushy.
We have a week to go or something about that then i will switch to 12-12.
------GG.AK47 COMMENT------
Vigorous growth, she was trained to even the canopy, with many bud spots.
------GENERAL COMMENT------
This week was very flat and steady, girls are growing very well and leafs got sharper.
They have got a new defoliation session, and a bit of supper cropping to make steams stronger. Nothing fancy, just training to an even or more even canopy.
------GG.AK47 COMMENT------
Girl is growing with intensity, shooting various bud spots, i'm having a very good feeling about the outcome from her! Tips are a bit lighter, nothing to get overwhelm.
------GENERAL COMMENT------
Exploding! Girls are amazing, super healthy, and growing very well.
------SM.BB COMMENT------
Very dense, super leafy, great genetics.
------GENERAL COMMENT------
All good, had a flawless week with the girls. Experiencing a lot of issues with the LED though, because of the high humidity in the tent when the lights are out, have to manage that some how... Basically the led matrix fails and blinks till the humidity lower, with this i loose around 1 hr of light a day till it starts all leds... A strange thing to experience!
Forgot to start with the flowering booster, so this week missed Big Bud, but still i gave frequently some Bud Ignitor at least. Next watering Bud ignitor and voodoo juice goes out, Big Bud and Velo Kelp come in to play.
------GG.AK47 COMMENT------
Crazy growth out of this girl, super vigorous, loads of branches, i'm very happy till now with her, super strong. Just letting her do her thing now, no more messing around, just pure contemplation! 😎
------GENERAL COMMENT------
Girls are moving forward without troubles, i'm pleased not having to deal with issues.
I'm breaking down the feeding schedule like:
Sensi Base + Bigbud*(or pk booster) + Recharge > VeloKelp+Natures Candy+Bigbud*. So there is constant feed, every other day mixed in 1.5l water. Once a week i give Cal Mag 2ml /l.
Not touching the girls with any HST or stress since I switched to flower. Is the first time i'm running recharge from the beginning to the end, have to say that is solid.
------GG.AK47 COMMENT------
What a pleasure to see that many colas and a vibrant girl giving fruits! 😎👊 I'm very curious to see the results in this one, solid strain! Aroma is gasy and diesel like.
------GENERAL COMMENT------
We arrived pass mid flowering as we are now starting week 5 of flower. No issues, bumped up a bit the Sensi Bloom to 2.5 after 3ml, and have seen the girls darken a bit, so i decided to go down a bit to 2ml this week, maybe stick to this dosage depending how the girls react.
The tent have become small for or two ladies, no way to train them more, there is no space. Decided to move forward without a mid grow flush.
Still on the 1.5l of water every other day, one base + recharge + pk booster, other with pk booster + natures candy + velokelp alternating.
Today was the last Pk booster - Big Bud dose, now we will cut the Big Bud and enter with the Overdrive, the rest will be as is.
------GG. AK47 COMMENT------
I'm loving to grow this strain, so curious about the smoke, and the outcome, this one exceed my expectations a lot seen that it was a gift seed...
She is less dark than the BB but still a little dark, and a bid very bid of tip burn, so -1ml of sensi /l should be fine.
------GENERAL COMMENT------
As planed I lowered the base nutrient to 2ml, and took a break from Cal Mag, to release the N a bit, green is on point now.
Tomorrow will catch up with the Cal Mag schedule as usual.
Time for some overdrive, for the rest all good, girls are developing well and buds are getting bigger, no issues.
Smelling delicious! Hope I had some Terpinator to give a go...
------GG. AK47 COMMENT------
AK47 is developing slower, but with more branches.
------GENERAL COMMENT------
Here e go, last week for the final flush. Piece of cake! 👋
Went in with the overdrive. I noticed some buildup in the runoff as the EC is testing high, little overfeed so I will water with, PH water + Recharge, might cut the Sensi and go with big bloom in this last feed week.
Feeding every other day, gave a shoot in constant feeding, alternating the Base+Recharge+PK and the VeloKelp + Natures Candy in the other. Did not need more CalMag.
No deficiencies, or spotting, they are growing nicely.
------GG.AK47 COMMENT------
The AK is adding height, buds are bulking and on both are very dense!
------GENERAL COMMENT------
Flush time, within the end of this week is now flush time.
To summary this week i just kept on my feeding habits, Water with base > Water with boosters, alternating Recharge.
My led seams to be crashing a bit, the colors are not stable as is possible to see in the timelapse.
Trichomes are mostly cloudy, with a slight amber. 9 weeks flowering time will be exact, just need time to flush, they are maturing fast fast, hairs are getting orange in a blink.
------GG.AK47 COMMENT------
Compared to the Blueberry the nugs are thinner, still nice size, a bit less dense, thru the stems there are many popcorn buds, that is also due to the less removal on this girl to test. Loaded with colas and the scent is very sugary too, a bit stronger than the BB, and the hairs are turning orange faster, starting to look very mature. Defoliated a bit to avoid rot, will defoliate more for this reason.
Training > topping, defoliation, and LST, using a cage for the first time, liked a lot to model a even canopy.
Girls wore grown in 15l fabric pots, I choose a higher pot so is not wide, my idea was to grow three, felt that 25l pots still ideal, the girls net bigger and have more room for the roots.
She was constant feed
> Watering 1 = Base Nutes + Recharge .
> Watering 2 = Boosters.
> Preventive Cal Mag every 15days +- .
Based on my feeling, and the leafs color I released some nutes or added so this is just an Idea on my schedule, no expressive or relevant burning.

Besides my LED fail everything went on point, flawless, they grew well and fast, weight was less than I expected, but for free beans is ok, can’t expect anything.
For those looking for a Sativa dominant Hybrid this is a good strain to give a go, vigorous and easy to grow.
She was not fully flushed because i did not wanted to risk, though the final product ended smooth as the BB.
I’m a Heavy indica guy, so this is not the best choice for me, though the high is balanced and good for social events and gatherings so you don’t feel sleepy.
Final product smell is like a pungent white tea, floral and sweet.

…To be continued… More on the high and effects once i get deeper in to it.
