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

also, a buddy of mine, a few months back, was pulled over with 106 clones. he had no drivers licens, his car was not registered and had no valid mj cards...and was in napa county where the limit is like 8 or something. they wrote it up as 99 to keep it a state matter and he ended up getting like 40 days in napa county jail... where they serve you wine and cheese before passing out the cuban cigars. cali is the place to be.
as easy as it is to grow out here there are still idiots like my buddy who manage to fuck it up.

Hey everyone, heres the pics from tonight, they looking pretty decent other than that Calcium defficiency. Reservoir is already looking VERY filthy again so I think what I'm going to do is probably Teus. or Wedn. I'm going to drain, clean the reservoir, and start the flush with just PH tap. I will flush till July 4 weekend which is exactly 9 weeks on the 4th unless they really start deteriorating fast.

Lookin' good bert! Nice one! It looks like they should be near enough ready by the 4th. Looking forward to some harvest pics. What are your plans for your next crop? I think you have something to celebrate on the 4th of July.

Icbh,
Thanks for the legalaties, very interesting indeed.

I'm no scientist and I agree that different conditions will show variations and different growth patterns of the same pheno You see variation of the same pheno in a normal grow depending on the position in the room and feeding schedule ect. But I can't see the genetics altering at all. Sure after generations they will adapt to their environments but i'm guessing its from another mom probably cali mist.

Sadly I am miles away from the midlands and am working every weekend I can at the moment so our chances of meeting are small. Maybe I'll get to Cali soon.

Subzero.

Thanks Sub...just wanted to drop a line and let you guys know i had to start the flush yesterday (tues 06.23.09) due to dirty reservoir making the PH drop like a rock. Well, see how this goes 0_o

Pic's before the chop????

I'm sorry I didn't get a shot of pics from last weekend...my life has been so busy with all sorts of shit I just haven't had the time but I do have some new pics here after the chop...tell me what ya think!

Well done bert.

I bet you were shocked at the shrinkage weren't you?

How much did you wind up with? whats your opinion of your first homegrown smoke?

What are your plans for the next round?

Take care,
Subzero. ;)

you know, I am suprised by the shrinkage but I had someone tell me they could shrink up to 1/3rd the size they originally were and that definately hasn't happend. I'd say a max of maybe 3/4 the size they originally were. The Kali Mist has shrunk the least. I'll be putting them in jars today and I'll take some pics of the buds and post them tonight. Here are the pics after they had been drying and cutting them into nugs.

Top left pile was the front plant, Top right pile was the middle, and the bottom right was the Kali Mist back plant. Little pile to the bottom left was the lowest nodes on the middle and front AK-47's which I'm currently smoking...although it hasn't had time to cure its a very long lasting heavy head buzz...just what I wanted. I think after the rest of this stuff properly cures its going to be some really heavy shit. I'd say that bottom left pile is about 1/8th ounce and I've barely made a dent in it cause its just soo much stronger than anything else I've had before. All I can say is....wow...I never thought I'd get to this point srsly. Your assistance with all this subzero and everyone else has been priceless...there is no value that I could use to quantify what your help has done for me and mine. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

My current plans are to wait for some red diesel comming my way hopefully starting up operations again in middle to late Sept. after the weather has cooled down. If the red diesel falls through I'm not sure yet how I want to get some seeds to start from again. I still feel kinda ancy about doing the mail order seed thing....but its what would be the most convenient. I had read some stuff about sending it to a place where you don't grow...and I don't have a place like that so thats where alot of my discomfort stems from.

good for you bert! nice to know youre enjoying your own bud. well i guess this party is about over. you dont have to go home but you cant stay here! its been nice getting to know you guys and to toss around ideas.
hey bert, i would just get some seeds. maybe i've been in cali so long that weed is just no big deal but i think most governments out there are not going to be too concerned about a guy with 10 seeds and a t5 now a days. i dont know, seems like they should be out chasing meth heads not trying to bust you for what, 4ozs?
just the amount of investigative man hours and legal paper work to get the private information that you bought the seeds...well, lets just say i think youre good to go.
sub- too bad we wont be able to meet up. i'll smoke a big old cali fatty in amsterdam in your honor. it was a nice thing you did helping bert out, fate really, you being an ionic pro and having just dealt with the tent thing yourself stepping in just as his plants were on their way out. very cool.
alright guys, keep in touch.:hippy:
