Hi cannasurvival and mrberrys,Thanks for stopping by this thread i appreciate the positive comments.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Hey 2Zapper
great looking grow you are doing something right!I think the plugs and pellets
are the way to go.Any time you first do some thing you are not sure if you are doing it right,Stick with it you are doing fine.Trust what you have read it's
doing you right so far.Keep up the good work.It's looking great!
Hey crazywiil, Well it could of went better am going to kill all the plants tomorrow and start with the clones as i know there females.And grow them as mother plants. hopefully to supply me with lots of prime ak47 ladies in future.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Well i did it i killed the plants and put the 4 female clones in the grow room a whole new beginning.I also took 12 more female clones so hopefully i will be able to fill all my nft trays. pics of the 4 clones not that good sorry.I will do an update in a week see how they are.
:thumbsup:
Go for it.
Adieu
Well here are a few pics of the clones from the plants i killed. I took them 2 weeks into flowering so am not sure how they will do as i have read a lot of people say only take them in veg.:thumbsup:
They look great so far but yes, I have taken clones in flower and the longer they were in flower for the crappier growth is. I have one that was a low bud maybe 4 weeks in and even though it survived, it has been sitting there over a month doing NOTHING. Not a speck of new green!
Yep, taking clones from flowering plants can be tricky. I took a clone of a girl that was 3 weeks in because the plant was developing so nice, and she turned around and was rooted in about 2 weeks and was at 5 nodes a week later ready to be topped. The length of time they are in flower, and the strain can all play a differense in rooting clones from flowering plants.
Keep up the good work partner.

Floyd,
Your starts look pretty fine. I just joined the forum today and this is the first time I've seen your thread. I would tell you one thing from my 15 years of growing using only starts. You probably only need to mist twice a day for the first week and then drop to once until they are all rooted. I also think that timing of the mist is very important. If you can mist at 12 hour intervals then you should have most if not all clones rootes in 10 days. The over misting can cause them to die like the two you talked about. I can't wait to see how your grow goes. AK47 may be on my list.
i have a odd question why cant plantes sit in still water?

I was'nt to hopefull for the clones but you have made me feel more optimistic.
Take it easy Blue.:thumbsup:
Hi TroutBuds. Thanks for the advice will take on board what you have said cheers.:thumbsup:
Hi adam 420.
If you leave plants in still water they will drown unless you have an airstone or something to give the roots oxygen.Hope this helps.:thumbsup:
Hey Floyed, hope all is well, just making the rounds and checking in. The fellow is right about the misting, but IMO some strains retain water differently and depending on where you live humitity ranges may be diffirent, so see what your plants like, maybe try different misting scheduals with a couple and see how they do. Just a thought.
Adieu
Hi BlueBer, Yeah everything seems ok the 4 clones in NFT tray are ok started to turn green instead of the yellow colour they where when i put them in and grow a bit.The other 12 clones in the prop tray are fine too hav'nt wilted yet and i put them in on sunday so looking good Buddy,
Take it easy Blue, :thumbsup:
Hi all.
Well i got a surprise last night 1 of the clones i took 2 weeks into flower has rooted after just nine days.Thats quicker than any of the clones i took in veg crazy hey.And the clones taken in flower have stayed a nice healthy green the ones i took in veg went yellow but where still ok i will post pics later.
:dance: :thumbsup:
Hey, floyd2zapper. I can't believe I've overlooked this thread for so long. Guess I've just been busy posting on mine and such...BUT you seem to be using a similar method to what we are using. Yours looks much cleaner mostly due to the fact that you are covering your rockwool. :thumbsup:x2
So many of these pics look familiar with the trays, hydroton, and rockwool cubes. LOL.
I havent read the full thread in detail but skimmed through the pics and read a few posts. Will come back and read catch up soon. Hope you stop by my thread also. :D
Good grow...oh man I wish I had some AK47. drool
Be cool.

Hi all just a quick update on the grow so far.As you can see in the pics i have made a bubbler out of a mop bucket to keep what is going to be my mother plant seperate it's quite handy i can empty the bubbler res and adjust nutes and ph without moving the plant just put a flip lid on saves peeling the lid on and of a bucket all the time anyway i will do an update again soon.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Well here are a few pics taken earlier today i have added another NFT tray with 5 little clones on and will add another thay in 2 days so i will have 16 female AK47'S
Take it easy all. :thumbsup:
not tryin to rain on your parade or anything...
Looks like your doing a great job.
Just wanted to point out that you'd be better off not growing a plant with a 9' ceiling in mind.
Tell yourself you only have "x" amount of room to work with. thats going to be a true test of skill as you become better with each garden or harvest.
9' is way to much space to waste all that time growing when the best part of the plant will be the closest to the light. All the under growth, and low sites will be starving for light.
Hope you can make use of this.
Hi rollone,Am switching to 12/12 next week so by the time there ready for harvest the tallest plant's should be under 4 foot tall am hoping. Am not trying to use the whole 9 foot to grow huge plants and it's my first grow so i dont have much skill just trial and error i suppose lol.
Take it easy. :thumbsup:
hi floyd well ive just cought up on your thread and you have made me want to use my nft now lol. i have 8 germanating as we speak but im germanating them in jiffy pellets can i still transplant them into rockwool to use in my nft system or should i wait now and grow them in soil and then transplant the clones into rockwool its so confuseing. ur grow is going so well i hope i can get near to as good as ur first grow it seem's like all i do these days is read and read but i till have all these questions which thank's to this site and you guys i hopefully can get the replys im looking for many thanks in advance
i just harvested some AK like 2 weeks ago...stuff was the BOMB....your gonna be super stoked Floyd
Hi Virgin-grower21, Yeah you can just put the jiffy pellets in the rockwool thats what i did earlier in this grow and it seemed to work fine hope that helps.:thumbsup:
Hey duto2k3, You should'nt of told me that might make me hack em down early lol.:thumbsup:
Take it easy all.:) :thumbsup:
Funny u say that, but DONT do it. I had 3 of 'em and my partner got anxious and choppend one early, i let the other two (mine) go 2 weeks longer and they were way more dank.Quote:

Hi all,Just another quick update added my other NFT tray on saturday and everything seems to be going ok.The roots on the plant in the bubbler have started to take of now must say am impressed with it so far.

Well just another update on my lovely ladies.The plant in the bubbler it's roots have grown a lot more since the last pics 5 days ago so thought i would show you whats going on. :D
Take it easy all.:thumbsup:
Hi all, Well here are a few pics taken yesterday i put them into flower on friday night.The bigger plants are about 17 days ahead of the smaller ones so am going to move the 1000w light above the little ones and put a 600w light above the big ones to see if i can get the little ones to catch up.
Take it easy all. :thumbsup:
Hi all, Just a few more pics i have moved my room around a bit and added a 600w hps light and put it over my big plants and moved the 1000w light over the little ones hoping they will catch up a bit.And i have added a carbon filter as well as the smell was so strong i loved it but when you can smell it before you get in the front door action has to be taken.Any advice more than welcome .Thanks
Take it easy all.:thumbsup:
Hi all,
My plants have been in 12/12 for 2 weeks now in the pics is this the start of the buds.Its my first grow so just hope a few peeps can confirm this is the start.The plants are massive the tallest being 39" and very bushy i hav'nt done much trimming just taken the leaves that where going brown.So should i do a trim if yes what do i trim the lower branches or just some fan leaves.
