1st tent grow autoflowering ak47

pointystick · Jul 6, 2009

hey guys

so sorry about the delay, I was SO busy with work and school but I just did a huge test so here are some pics!

The buds are a bit fluffy...actually they're almost outdoors fluffy.

I'm not disappointed at all, but I have some theories as to why this could have happened-

1.) I cooked 'em with the light

2.) I used superthrive during flowering once to try and give them a boost after I cooked them

3.) My bulbs are no name brand made in China

4.) my bloom fertilizer was at least 5 years old

Anyways, here's some pics.

The bud in the box is 10 out of the 11 plants as the 11th is not quite as dry as I would like.

I estimate I got about 6-7 ounces. I'll weigh it all once it's fully cured and let you guys know the actual weight.

If these buds had been the same size, but had gotten as dense as I thought they would, I'd imagine a good increase in weight.

Thanks to everyone for watching and I hope everyone learned something.

I've got some pics of my girls outdoors so I'll make a short journal of that in the next few days if you guys wanna swing by.

Happy growing!

I always thought it was ok to use all the way thru until a few weeks ago I read here it could do weird things during flowering.

Now that I think about it, I don't know if I believe what I just said. On my tomato plants I use it everytime I feed them and they are doing awesome with huge multiple tomatoes. I don't see the difference between tomatoes fruiting and weed budding.

I have used st on grows in the past all the way to harvest but they were outdoors which always has fluffy bud.

I think I'll make a statement that IMO it works great all the time.

Just last week I used it on my orchid that hasn't grown one inch in over a year and after one dose of st it's throwing out new shoots and growing leaves.

So In conclusion maybe don't believe everything you read

Not bad dude. You only had 11 plants and still pulled over a pound. You should order 3 packs of seeds next time though to get a bigger yield under that 1000w.

I wish I got a pound.... I only got 124 grams which is kinda bad for 11. The buds were SO fluffy. I think if they got as dense as they shouldve I woulda had a pretty decent yield.

your square pot idea is excellent....one day, one day..... Sigh

I hate to count chickens, but the outdoor girls are looking nice... Took some more pics today I've not put up yet

thanks for stopping by

124.4 grams is about 4.5 oz, a pound is about 17 oz

I always wondered about that.

Technically a pound is 454 grams, but if you multiply 16ounces x 28 grams it equals 448.

I wonder if I was getting shorted 6 grams every time I bought a pound? Far be it from me to weigh out that much on a jeweler's scale.....

that was all years ago anyways, back in the good ol days...

well...not that long ago really...I must sound super old, but I'm only 26 lol

your tellin me thats your auto flow in front? I wish mine were like that. I started with 5 white russians by low-life. I put 3 in 2gal buckets and 2 in six gallon pots. 4 germinated and grew to like 2in and stopped. The 3 in the 2 gal. buckets are all different sizes, and the one in the 6gal pot is like 7 to 8 in. 1 of the five all female from the start are really looking what the pic on the website looks like bullshit!!! Anyway I will never do an auto flower strain. Wasted of nutes and expensive mediums for some thing that I could have taken out of any Sack I have ever bought and been better! No taste even after I molasessed them instead of using advanced nutes bud candy. What a downer. Hope these last four work out I swear one is gonna probably yeild only 2 to 3 grams. OH WELL
