AK-47 in E&F - rockwool/clay medium (First Grow Log)

Bert,
here in the uk...................... ak47 is 60ish days... again! lol ;)

When you manicure the plant you are going to cut the leaves off so you don't need to worry about the colour of the crystals on them, its the buds your after. Think of them as pieces of fruit, let them ripen.

Yeah, maybe I'll give the karma a miss. I would worry about it blocking everything up. At least I learned something without spending money for a change!

Those plants look great.


Icbh,

get reading about nft, It is worth a shot.

@subzero - after changing my reservoir out today, I couldn't get all the stuff off the bottom but I believe it may be alot of stuff that the hydrozyme is breaking down and the LK has a tendancy to turn things a lighter shade of brown so it looks really dirty on the bottom of my reservoir. However it didn't affect my PPM at all because I refilled the reservoir with 20gal. plain tap and there it was sitting at [email protected] which was less than I've ever read my straight tap yet. Course I'm also using hydroton and I don't think I did a great job of cleaning it for these plants either. I will say 2 days after using it there was huge resin production...like there was no resin, and then there was a shit load. I don't know if it was the natural progression and just plain timing or if the LK had anything to do with it. I read stuff saying it did, but again I'm skeptical because I have no peronal data to base this off of without using LK. Food for thought. And yea I was really stoned when I posted that. 60 days! They should have stopped stretching by now....Yet they still have been, but slower. Really hoping these buds fatten up nicely. Fatten up like little christmas trees.

hi bert,
had to go away for a few days, hows the plants now? any more pics?

Subzero. :smokin:

looking good bert!:thumbsup:
the only product i use not made by GH is called bloom. they make a whole line of stuff to be used through out but i only use the final. its only 1ml/liter for the last 2 weeks before flush, which is about half of what they say to use some of their other products and costs about half as much as the others. i really like it and all my buddys use it now. just thought id throw it out there because i thought the same thing about the final. sure the buds get bigger after adding it but they get bigger in the last 2 weeks anyways.

heres a shot of a grape ape cola with a wine bottle for scale. i broke down this room after the grape ape run. the person that was running it just was not retaining a lot of the info i was teaching. now the equipment is just sitting in storage:(. sub you wanna move to cali?;)

bloom final

icbh,
looked at the actual site that final comes from but no way could i get it over here. I then read about this stuff called ooze (on the same site), check this out. Made me laugh.

OOZE

Bloom OOZE stimulates secondary metabolites which aid in the synthesis of terpenoids and polyphenolic compounds. described as terpenophenolic compounds or prenylated polyketides. This stimulates geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) isopentyl pyrophosphate (IPP) dimethyl allyl pyrophosphate (DPP) which are responsible for the development of essential oils in flowering plants.

WTF! :what:

I wonder if nature has realized it needs to use this stuff?

Yes I may end up in Cali some day, I have a mate out there somewhere, but who knows.

Subzero.

@idbh - man that purple is crazy lookin! Wow!

I was foaming at the mouth to get these pictures posted today guys!!! Sorry it took so damn long I've been really fucking busy its rediculous. Anyways, to start here, two days ago PH started dropping like a rock. I noticed alot of debree in reservoir and after doing some searching figured that the most likely cause was a dirty reservoir so today I pulled it out and cleaned it and refilled the fucker again. I've been filling/draining the reservoir now every weekend since I started with all these various additives figuring it would be the best thing to do. Anyways, after the first watering this evening the PH went up by .1 and I'm going to check it here again in another hour after their second watering to see where its trending too. PPM as of right now is [email protected] so thats probably 1.8-2.0 EC range there abouts 900PPM is 1.8 EC for me which happens to be the recommended EC on the Ionic Grow/Bloom bottles. Man they are smelling crazy ass strong now even with the carbon filter. It wouldn't be such an issue but since we are having to keep that door open the smell is wafting into the rest of the house but right now strong smelling candles seem to be enouph right now for the smell. I'm pretty worried about how bad harvest time is going to be....I'd just shut the damn door but the heat would be outrageous in the room if I did. I think I'm going to hang em in the tent though with the carbon filter and start running that ozone thingy as well. The smell is definately not getting out of the house though so thats good. As of right now I honestly think a non-pot smoker wouldn't even notice if the came into my place but a pot smoker would definately notice.

Anyways....Here is what I think could possibly qualify for MJ porn.....(taken next to 20oz. bottle) :rastasmoke:

Right on bert! looking good!

How did your clones do in the end?

We warned you about the smell didn't we! I would put the ozone generator on a timer if i were you and try to just get rid of the smell, as i mentioned before too much is not great for your health.

Subzero. :thumbsup:

Only one clone pulled through, it still looks alittle rough but it rooted and is now finally starting to grow. I have it set in a 2" tray with non-fertilized potting soil and have only watered in once in the last week and the soil is still moist. I'll take a photo tonight and show ya when I get home.
