Auto Ak-47 & Lowryder #2 (1st Offical Grow)

[jnyce1320]

Finally I recieved my Lowlife Auto AK-47 and Loweryder #2 seeds from Attitude Seeds today, highly recomended. I also recieved BONUS seeds with my order. All G13 LABS: (1) Fem. Northern Lights, (1) Fem. Durban Poison, and (10) Power Skunk. Probly wont grow these for a while because of my auto's 18/6 light scheme. They came in Monday but i kept missing the delivery guy. 5 days total including weekend. Seeds were shipped wrapped in a t-shirt... streathy i suppose.

Germinating only (5) Auto Ak-47's and (5) Loweryder today, paper towel method. Hoping for a mixed male-female ratio for breeding more seeds. D*** seeds are expensive!!!! Also picked up Botanicares Pure Blend Pro Soil and Fox Farm Big Bloom nutes today, (10) 3-gallon buckets, (10) 5.5" Square buckets, and a PH up-down kit. Local store didnt have Pro-Mix soil w/ Miccorihzae so will go across town to another shop tommorow. Will buy Biobizz Bio-Bloom and Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus in a couple weeks, funds are a little low, quality growing isn't cheap!

Grow Area is partial bedroom closet 63wx24dx63h covered with mylar. 600W HPS in cooltube with air being exhausted out of area with 6" ducting and 6" 424cfm fan.

Thanks. seeds still germin. I found a local nursury that sells Pro-Mix for $32. The grow shop was ganna charge me $50!

Ok its been 48 hours and still nothin. Not one single seed even cracked yet. When i germinated my bagseeds they were 1/2" or longer within 24hours. Only thing different is that i put them ontop of my computer this time. Maybe it was to hot. Now they are under my couch.

Sick set up man, am growin some diesel ryder, 15 days old today so should be showing their sex very soon. cant wait to see how your grow progresses.

 

[jnyce1320]

Ok its been 4 days of germination
Auto AK-47: 2 of 5 have atleast a half inch root. Other 2 have a little spout breaking thru and the last seed just cracked open.
Lowryder#2: 2 of 5 have about a 1/4 inch root. Other three are cracked open

I have a question theres white little fuzzy hairs type things growing on the seeds while they are in water. I change filtered water everyday for the two days since i changed germ.technique. Is this mold or bacteria and will this damage my seeds? Reguardless tommorow moring im planting these seeds in 5.5inch square pots, this is taking long. Wish me luck!

Yea this morning not much of a differene. I forgot that i turned my computer off last night so the water was very cold. DAMNIT im planting 2 of 5 lowryder seeds and 3 of 5 ak-47 seeds as of now. The other seeds are cracked and showing inside i just have to keep the water warm. How much longer should i wait untill i just give up on the remaining seeds and start to germ the rest of my seeds.

just put em in soil , keep em warm and in a dark place till they sprout , dunno why people think its better to soak em first?

i just put my seeds in the soil, watered them and left them in the grow cab on 18/6 light and i got a 100% germ rate from 7 seeds.

your set-up looks good mate. you put plenty of work into it i hope it all goes well. i'l keep dropping by.

check my journal out if you want, im growing lowryder dwarf mix.

On friday both of the (2) planted Lowryder#2 seeds sprouted thru the soil. Only (1) of the Auto AK-47's broke thru. Lowryders are much bigger also.
Today I finished preparing the grow area puttin down white panda plastic on the ground to cover the carpet. I also planted the remanding (3) Lowryder #2 seeds and (3) of the Auto AK-47 seeds.

Im not sure yet. I dont have any more money yet to set up a another grow area for the seperate 12/12 flower schedule. I was thinkin about just giving them to a friend or after 12 hours of light put them in the bathtub.

 

[Fyfe]

yeh you could 12/12 them by putting them in a cupboard or somewhere after the 12 light.

i still have one of my bagseeds to. its about 3 months old now and its the best looking one so i kept it as a house plant for now lol.

 

[jnyce1320]

LOL kool. My soil dries out quickly and my humidity is around like 23%. I need to invest in a humidifier.........

 

[jnyce1320]

I also got rid of the clear dishes under the pots to save more space to plants can be closer underneath the light

Sry i havent been on here in a while. So far I have 5 LR2s going and 4 Auto AK-47. Six of the AK seeds were shitty and never germed right . The first two LR2s that I planted are females. Showed its sex monday! Super fast it was only 2 weeks. I transplanted them in 3 gallon containers last night.
