Royal AK Auto RQS (First Grow)

Day 43 (07/07): The lights being at 80% intensity has really helped, now we are seeing 26C-28C during lights on even without the frozen bottles inside. I am not seeing any more leaves turn yellow as well. Based on the answers for my grow question, growers have suggested that the yellowing of the leaves is probably due to the age of the plant and it will start to yellow as the buds take up the nutrients from the leaves. I have also been recommended to decrease the nitrogen nutrient (BioGrow) to 2/3 or recommended so I will be giving it 1ml/1.5L at the next watering and readjusting some of the other nutrients to prevent overfeeding. Day 44 (08/07): Not that many updates today, I am checking the AK to make sure that no new leaves are going yellow and only the older leaves are turning more yellow. Hopefully this is just the way of the plant to defoliate the unused leaves but I am making sure to wait until the fall off on their own and will only take them off myself if I find mould. Day 45 (09/07): The temperatures remain quite low, the highest it has gotten was 30C overnight but did decrease to 27C during the day. I also fed the AK today changed the nutrients based on the feedback that I have received on my grow questions to reduce the nitrogen in flowering and use two third of the recommended nutrients. I gave it 2/3 of the recommended BioGrow (so 1ml/1.5L). I have read that with BioBizz nutrients it is still important to keep giving it BioGrow until the end because of the phosphorous and other important nutrients it needs during flowering. I have also changed the dosage of BioHeaven to 3ml/1.5L (recommended 3ml/L) and even though it’s not an NPK nutrient but rather a booster, I still didn’t want to give too much. I am also giving the AK 2ml/1.5L of BioBloom (recommended 2ml/1L) and I decided to stick to the recommended dose of Top Max (1.5ml/1.5L) because it is also a booster so it can increase the size and weight of the buds. Day 46 (10/07): Not many updates from today, the AK’s buds are growing super big and the leaves that are yellow are getting a little more yellow every day but I do not see any other leaves turning yellow yet. Day 47 (11/07): Today I noticed that there was some mould on the big fan leaves so I softly pushed on the base of the stem and they came off. I have done the same to the smaller yellow leaves at the bottom and they all came off pretty easily. It seems that the AK is defoliating a little bit but it is lighter in colour than the GGs which could mean that it is also towards the end of its flowering as well and the buds are taking up all the nutrients are growing super fat! Day 48 (12/07): I’ve noticed that towards the centre of the bud there is development of trichomes, which came later than the GGs but the AK is definitely has much bigger size of buds so we will see which turns out better in the end! Other than that, not many updates today as the girls seem to be growing well. Day 49 (13/07): Today I fed the AK and as it is week 7 tomorrow, I will be increasing the nutrients slightly. I am keeping the dose of BioGrow at 1ml/1.5L (2/3rd of recommended) for the rest of the grow so that the nitrogen levels aren’t too high. I will also be keeping the BioHeaven to 3ml/1.5L (recommended 3ml/L) and might only increase it towards the end when the plant needs to uptake nutrients. I have increased the BioBloom since last week and it is now at 3ml/1.5L (recommended 3ml/L). For the TopMax the recommended is 1.5ml/1.5L but I have decided to feed them 2ml/1.5L so increase the size of buds which it should be fine as it is a booster.
