Welcome Back fellow growers as I start my 15th grow. With me being so impressed by the Original Line genetics from FastBuds I decided to go with the Original Auto AK. If you've followed my diaries then you know that I'm a fan of the AK strain as I've previously grown AK-49, but this time I decided to go with the "Original".They that she can be grown indoors or outdoors and withstand all environments thanks to her pedigree genetics. AK Auto is a very easy to grow, that makes it perfect for beginners, that packs a punch with a THC level of up to 21%, where she will grow long dense colas in just 9 weeks with citrus pine flavored buds. Despite her Sativa influence, this girl is a foolproof hybrid for those who need a solid producer with quick turnaround time, as well as commercial growers. Before I get into the germination process, here's a list of equipment that will be featured in this grow.
list of the equipment I'll be using :
HydroPlanet 2x4x5 Grow Tent
3-Gallon Plastic Pot
Happy Frog Soil
Vivosun 300 watts Full Spectrum Grow Light
Vivosun 4" inch Exhaust Fan
iPower Carbon Filter
Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier
4 Desk Fans
Acurite Hygrometer

Placed Original Auto AK in a glass of water where it will soak for 48 hrs. After 16-18 hrs I'll check on them to see if it went to the bottom.

Checked on the seed after a light tap seed went to the bottom of the glass.

the seed was placed in paper towels that were then placed in plastic bags. I then placed the bag inside the grow tent to make sure they were in a dark area. I'll check on them every 8-10 hrs to make sure the paper towel stays moist.

Checked on seed paper towels were still moist and taproot was showing growth.

the auto AK is above the soil but it still has the shell attached but it seems to be working itself out. A new ph pen came today also.

Now that the true leaves are visible, I'll start counting Day 1 tomorrow. I also need to make sure the lights are 18-24" away from them.

Adjusted light so it's 22" inches away from the seedling.
