My First Grow - AK47 in a Bloombox

[Hound Dog]

OK, I got a BC Bloombox and some Serious AK-47 seeds. I germinated the seeds and put them in rockwool under a clone dome. I have a few questions...

1. How long should I keep the dome on top of the tray?

2. When should I start giving them nutrients and not just ph balanced water?

3. Should I still have a warming pad underneath the tray?
(I don't anymore but when I did they seemed to like the humidity)

4. My sprouts are turning kind of a purple/red color, is this OK?

This is my first time growing and I would really appreciate some feedback.

2. no nutes for 10 days
3. no pad unless needed to keep temp about 21c

Thanks for the quick reply. 9 out of 10 seeds have sprouted up and the tenth is on its way so I'll take the dome off. If anyone has any pointers for growing AK47 or even growing in a BC Bloombox I would really appreciate the help. Widowman this chonger's for you!!!

with ak-47 keep the temp down or so ive heard that between like 70 and 76 will help produce bigger buds

ak can handle heavy nutes and cool temps,they are a hardy strain and really branch out,gyou dont even need to top them but it helps i think.

What does it mean to "top" a plant? and why would you do it?

 

[KBkiller42]

toppin is when you cut of the new growth on the top of your plant u cut the new stem grown right below the new leaves this will in turn make two colas to your plants

If anyone needs to know how to reprogram the timers, on any of the boxes, to switch photoperiods; it is as follows:

· Reprogramming a V1 (blue button) GroSmart

• Hit ESC.
• Use the up/down arrows to select STOP, hit OK, and then confirm YES to STOP PROG.
• Use the up arrow key to go to PARAMETER, hit OK.
• The first screen B02 will be the morning water (you can verify this by seeing the on time of 8:45 and off time of 8:50.
• Hit the right arrow button to move to the vegetation schedule, in most cases it will be B11.
• Hit the right arrow button a second time to move to the flower schedule, in most cases it will be B14.
• Use the up/down left/right arrow keys to put the cursor over top of the ON time, and hit SEL.
• Use the up/down left/right arrow keys to select the new ON time.
• Press OK to save the ON time.
• Use the up/down left/right arrow keys to put the cursor over top of the end time, and hit SEL.
• Use the up/down left/right arrow keys to select the new OFF time, and hit SEL.
