Automatic AK47 closet grow

[ninjavitis]

What did the males look like as they started showing? I know what a full grown male looks like .. out of context .. but I dunno about the babies. Also, what type of watering schedule were you on? I know mine would differ because I'm using rockwool, but it would be a rough guide. I'm afraid of either over watering or over fertilizing. But great job on your girls. I hope mine look like that!

at the nodes above the stipules you can see little glands groing during late vegetive stage...the gland will either pop out a white hair or it strats forming into a more obvious sack....originally the glands are normally like 1 millimiter in length so you really have to look close, make sure your humidity stays high so you have more chance for females.....i didnt have the luxury of controlling mine so got 2 females and 1 hermie...ill get some pics of the hermie and ill show you, gimme an hour or 2 and ill be back with a pic

hey man will have to wait till the HPS is out, might get some pictures tomorrow......the watering cycle is typically every two days but watch the plant closely and watch when it begins to droop a bit and give it a feed.....im feeding them nutrients 1 time out 3 waterings, the other two times i give them fresh water to flush out the old nutrients...using a potash nitrogen mix aswell, make sure you dont over fertilise

Sorry about the Hermies, they look good though.

Mine are definitely smaller than yours, I think I used way too small of a pot for too long.

Are you doing a seed run this grow?

check this out and ask other oppinions, because I`m not sure.

 

[cheddarchops]

hey man, cheers for the help! I think the top bud is just a bit burnt, ill take some close up pics later today but for now I think I'm gonna raise the height of the lamp...

 

[cheddarchops]

just took a look and the leaves are recovering a bit, growth is measured at 28.5 cm so far, I'm going to get some string to tie the buds back so they get adequate light

If leaves are getting dark and cispy, that is a light burn, if not - problem is somewhere else.

 

[cheddarchops]

ok well ive got some pictures of the big female for you to have a look at, i swear its some kind of heat stress, this has happened to me on every grow which is killer! the pictures show the main head and one of the budsites has come to victim to it
but I thought I might try my hand at LSTing this mother, she has so much foliage the buds are having trouble finding the light! just used string and tied it around the rim, will have to tie 2 other heads when they pop out properly

 

[MuyLocoNC]

Wow, she is really coming along nicely. That fourth photo really tells the story.

 

[cheddarchops]

I can't imagine how much heat must have got trapped under that canopy, but hopefully my adjustments will sort out that heat stress problem

 

[cheddarchops]

Anyone notice in the 6th picture that the pistils are already orange :S what the?!?!

 

[cheddarchops]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh shit! well those 2 that i moved to the other wardrobe have major heat stress issues, raised the lamp but the top leaves are crispy like a hoisin duck!

 

[cheddarchops]

this sucks like a badgers cock with heinz tomato ketchup.....where the crap did everyone go?

 

[dsn]

I had same thing - on two plants pistils turned orange very early in flowering. In the end they turned out to be hermies. I hope it was only a coincidence.
