Hi Axion, thanks for the supportive words. I feel I've made many bad decisions about this plant in the name of improving the yield. One website says weed actually benefits from a little abuse by producing resin to protect itself. I did no training or cropping at all during grow. The...

Yes, from my point of view journals serve a valuable function of showing the good and the bad things that have happened. I learn a lot from reading them even if the experiences don't match exactly to me. Based on my completed journal on page 18 do you think I should be adding anything...

I'm really psyched about the results of this grow. I ended up with a little more than 3.5 ounces (100 grams) even after the wifey grabbed a few pieces from the drying rack. She is very impressed by the quality. I'm adding my whole grow journal below along with some general...

Your plant looks similar to my AK47 but mine was more bushy. I imagine there are many variants of the strain.

Hiya FridayFishFry, I bought my AK47 auto seeds from Bonza Seeds. They were very good and stealthy and arrived in a timely manner. Yes, CFLs are a good fit for me since I can't vent easily outside. I threw as many CFLs as I could into this grow and mixed the spectrums along the way...

Propain, I really had intended on the plant going another week but it started to yellow all over quickly over this past week. I figured it would be safer to go ahead and harvest now instead of running the risk of something going terribly wrong. I do have a jewelers loupe and I also have a...

Thanks for the kind words. I have my coco coir all washed up and ready once my seeds arrive. Robro, are you still sold on coco coir? Seems like you might be considering other options. Propain, your medium approach sounds interesting also. I have no problem watering on a frequent...

Yep, I'm wavering on the 100% perlite idea. Good news, today is my first HARVEST DAY. I'm cut her down and trimmed her out but didn't cut as many leaves and stems off as I could have so the numbers I have are inflated BUT very encouraging. I ended up with 676 grams (23.845 ounces) of...

Well the plant is in darkness until tomorrow morning when I end her life. I feel sad since we nurtured this little gal for almost 3 months. In preparing for my next grow I stumbled across reference to using 100% Perlite as a growing medium. Have you or someone you know used this method?

The big gal in general has yellowed up a bunch recently, lots of brown hairs and I don't see much additional resin generated so I think it's time for me to turn off the lights tonight and give her one last long sleep for about 24 hours and then cut her down. I'll take more pictures and record...

That's good to hear about the positioning of the triches. Some of the hairs are brown but to me the triches themselves are still pretty clear. I'll examine them tomorrow. Again, sorry about the clarity of the pics. I gave her a gallon of water & molasses tonight. It's been 2.5...

Some of the pistils have gone to brown (either by nute deficiency or some other reason). The triches still appear clear to me but you take a gander and let me know if you agree. I took these pics with my handheld microscope so please excuse the clarity. It's from China and you get what...

Day 71 of grow and I think she's almost telling me to harvest in about a week. The glands at end of trichomes have yet to swell but the leaves at bottom of plant are yellowing up considerably. Since this is starting the 11th week of growth I would think this "9 week flowering" auto plant...

Yes, I agree, there are many ways people dry and cure and obviously what works for them is great. One method that caught my eye was to cut and trim the plant and hang it for drying. The length of time to dry is determined by ambient relative humidity. If the RH is 40% you would dry...

Since I'll be harvesting pretty soon I'll let you know how my Ona gel works. Sounds like I can drill holes thru the plastic and regulate how much odor control is necessary. This will also increase the lifespan of the Ona. I'm anxious to try it since my next grow will be 2 plants...

Thanks for the insight Greencat. Glad you mentioned the Cal Mag. I have been adding it but not on a regular basis. How much do you add per gallon?

One additional thought came to me that you might consider Axion. I also have an activated charcoal filter attached to an inline fan to vent from my grow tent but it vents to the room. My problem is the opposite from yours in that my tent can get too hot (instead of too cold). Although...

Hiya Axion, yep, my AK47 is gaining bud size and resin is increasing a bit but I'm worried she won't give good yield come harvest time. I'm on a 20/4 light schedule with a bunch of CFLs. I opted away from HID lights due to heat issues in my non ventilated grow room. Also as a small time...

I have read about the "putting in darkness" option and appreciate you reminding me of that. I'm going to give it a try when the time comes. I also remember reading that once trichomes stop growing and begin to turn back in towards bud is a sign to harvest. Since there are not any glands...

Oops, I put my comments on the wrong thread. Hey Robro, do you think I can do anything more to entice plant to produce more resin and increase bud growth?
