Lowlife AK-47 150W HPS

[ThatGuy113]

Better late then never....

This seed popped on 25th showing it petals above ground 2 days later. I have it in happy frog soil from Fox Farms in a 3 gallon Air Pot Under a 150w HPS. Once it starts flowering i will use Fox Farms nutes on it as well.

Starting to see a few more white hairs popping out. In the past 2 days it has grown at least an inch since i left it on Tuesday.

Looking solid so far...

gotta couple questions, if you don't mind:

Temps inside/outside box?
Are you using a cool tube?
And what are your box dimensions?

The temps outside are around 70, temps inside stay a nice 79 degrees
No cool tube just a fan on the top where there is a outlet hole, it moves a lot of air
Box Dimensions are: 1'4 1'4 3'11

Im kinda of thrown off by the slow growth of pistols. In other grows i always say very quick growth after i saw the first few of pistils. She has grown quite a bit though.

I swear it has grown three times is height since 2 posts ago.
Starting to see more pronounced white hairs in more places.
The heat may be a issue with all of this height being added to her.
My room mate forgot to water it for me while i was out of town for 2 days but it seems to be ok now after a nice watering.

Looking nice so far! Not too much bud growth yet, but once it gets to that super-growth phase you'll forget what it looks like now! I love that period where the buds get obviously bigger each day...can't wait to flower my new crop! You'll be blazin that in about a month or so

Lookn good grower!

Thanks

So i was having leaves start to yellow and not look to good. The pattern though with these leaves seemed to be low branches, the plant is getting awful big for the tent not as much light is getting to the bottom and some leaves are pushed up against the walls of the tent. Nothing has changed in the water source or feedings so i don't see why it would be anything else. More and more white hairs are popping up not only on the main stem but also a majority of the branches. I think shes finally ready to jump right into flowering. Since the 28th of October this plant has almost tripled in size, i cant wait for December.

So my next watering i was going to finally add some nutes. I have Fox Farm Big Bloom, and it says to use 4 tablespoons per gallon. Since it is the first feeding i was thinking of going light cause i always do to much by only using what i think is not much. So i was thinking 3 tablespoons for 2 gallons total. Any comments?

I have 3 autos probably 4 or 5 days behind yours.. i recently spotted hairs about 4 days ago. I began feeding with 1 tbs molasses, full feeding of big bloom along with snowstorm ultra.

Last time i even went half power it burned the plants, so im a little hesitant.

I hardly feed my autos as well,1/4 strength bloom nutes,
Its amazing to see how fast autos flower with no fertz,

In my past grows i waited a while to use nutes cause they scared me and i only ever had burnt leaves from the chemicals never dieing out like that. Then again though this is a different strain and therefore could be just the plant itself needing more then im used to. So ill mix up this batch and let you know how it goes thanks for the input.

I just watered her yesterday with no nutes so im gonna have to wait a couple days to try it out.

Oh and by the way i am worried about heat issues at the top of the plant, in everyones experience by this point (week six) do they stop growing and focus on buds?

i have grown out a few lowlifes auto AK47 X hindu kush..and in my experience the AK47 pheno did grow a lil slower..i thought it was a runt compared to the others but ended up being the biggest with a better smoke/high IMO..by the time it was finished it topped out at 2feet.

Definitely looks like its gonna be a big one. Should be interesting.
