@CRiSPrGrow, appreciate the feedback. I was very diligent about spreading the pollen around. I didn't have other plants I didn't want seeds in the tent, so I could be rather reckless with the pollen. Going to bleach clean the tent before my next grow LOL. Make sure there isn't any lingering pollen.

It's drying now. Already plucked about 50 seeds from a few buds and have many more - probably hundreds. Also collected pollen and storing in the freezer.

Plenty of seeds emerging. I'm not sure what constitutes a big harvest when the goal is to collect seeds, but I'm glad I didn't stop this experiment prematurely. I was very close to doing just that. Seeds showing are normal sized seeds and hard, just green still. When they turn brownish or start dropping on their own, I'm going to cut, dry, and call this grow done.

@BonyMountain, appreciate the feedback! I can happily report seeds are starting to show. I'm not sure this will be a huge success (will post seed count after I harvest). As you pointed out I started a couple weeks late. Next time will be easier because I collected pollen and won't need to wait for pollen sacs to emerge and do the job next time. Assuming I try this in the next year again. Not sure how long the pollen will keep, but it's going into the freezer when I am done collecting. As are the seeds. Hopefully that keeps both viable for much longer.

I'm now optimistic that we will get some seeds from this grow. Posted new pics. Have male flowers, nanners, and signs of hermies on both plants.

So far this is looking like a fail. No signs of pollen sacks or any other make attributes. 25ppm ionic silver that I made and applied every morning and evening hasn't worked. I'll be cutting in about 15 days if no success by then. Yield is just ok. But I wasn't trying for a big yield anyways. Was trying for seeds.

@420Coder, Always thought it was super cool as well, I was looking at just purchasing Colloidal Silver as its not too expensive and somehow I think I would mess up trying to make Iodized Silver myself. All The best, will be watching to see how it turns out for you.

Pure AK is simply fun to grow. It's also easy to grow, flowers fast, produces great yields, contains THC amounts that rival the medical cannabis I get from the dispensary, and is very forgiving. I make plenty of mistakes and Pure AK still seems to thrive. In fact the more I neglect it (within reason) the better it seems to do. So what's wrong with this strain? My only complaint is the odor. It's incredibly difficult to control. I'm using multiple cannister air filters and it's still rather obvious I'm growing weed for anyone who knows what the flower stage smells like. I am on my 4th grow so obviously I am living with the strong smell and accepting the trade-off. If you want to grow on the DL, this is definitely not your best choice because of the odor. If that's not a concern for you, I would definitely add this to your list of strains to try. It's also a very fast way to replenish your stash - the yields are just fantastic especially if you top it, train it, and SCROG. If patience isn't a virtue of yours (I admit to lacking that myself sometimes) this is a great choice because in 3-4 months you can be enjoying the results. Faster if you don't veg as long (but I would veg at least 4 weeks - I go way longer because one plant in a big pot can fill a 2x4 grow tent easily).

@NotusLotus, same. We will all learn from my success or failure.

Nice, never even seen anything like that before, I'm curious how it goes!

I hope everything goes smooth with the pollination. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!!!

Happy Flowering! @420Coder
