AK 47 x Super Silver Haze and ISS/ROMULANxSSH

ah crappy........ been bout a week since i updated..... been workin lotz and keepin my present strains going ....
not too sure about the AK strain i got.... frigin smells like hay no matter what i do.... 3 different batch's...... even let some of the last batch's crystals turn all amber, no smell difference.... but of well, ya smoke it and it knocks ya out!
the Romulan and Hiwaian sweet skunk got nice smells and taste tho......
my new batch of clones all are rooting massive, took 9 days this time for them all to root, only thing i did different wuz to pre soak the cut branch's in a KLN solution for like 18 hours instead of the 1-2 hours with the earlier batch's... they seem to have gotten more then enough rootin nutt soaked in, only took 7 days last batch.... gonna transfer all the clones into soil today, gonna exsperiment with some of the clones this time, gonna see just how small a pot and how many per pot they will work with, even gonna try and grow at leaste one to finish in a cup!
all my moms looking awsome, the new rom moms are ready to produce some good clones already....
all the flowering girls look awsome, and the old hacked up moms in there are doing great...

I don't know if you've answered this yet but how big do you let them get before flowering?

between 8 to 10 inch's, basically 1-2 weeks after the clones hit soil....... i try to keep it as short as possible......

Quite the grow there, epixbud!! I go through these all the time and cant believe I didn't run into this sooner!
I havn't had the chance to read this whole thing yet, but who's your ak from? Is it Serious Seed?? I just got my seed from Attitude, but I got Serious's AK as I 've only heard great things about it and I was planning to run an DIY 35 site and an AF20 full of it..... I 've been following ru8fru's journel(check it out if you have the time @ https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/133743-3rd-hydro-grow-serious-seeds-9.html he's got new pics up of his Haze and AK47). The ak seems to stay reasonably short and good for an sog, considering it's a sativa dom strain, and at 9-10 wks....... On the other hand his haze x skunk is out of control in height, imo......

I glad to have bumped into you! Keep up the great journel!!

Try curing it with some lemon or orange peel. It may impart a more appetizing scent.

right on good idea man, gonna try that!

ah crappy, been a hole buncha days since i updated, sorry.... so here's some pics of my lady'z last night, i just finished getting all the clones into soil and into the veg room...... need to pack way more plants in to make the small size worth while, thats for sure... put the 2 moms that were budding into the 12h last night too, he he he, they gonna make some massive buds for sure....

epixbud, your garden never ceases to amaze me!

Keep fighting the good fight!

well, good day all, today a bad luck day so i won't even go into my rooms at all..... better safe then sorry!
so here are some pics of my lady's last night, and of the new vented hood i got for my 400w MH (its glass is in the box till it's up), the only HID i got thats not vented, and the reason i can't get any more temp drop.... so i gonna be doing some wiring and installing tomorow before the veg lights come on, gotta rerun my flex venting lines and move the can fan for the new configuration, hoping the fan will do all 3 lights or i'll just get a bigger one..........

so here's my rearanged veg room, no more big ass parabolic......
the new vented hood sure is less comberson.......
the intake air soarce is 75.6 and the 400w room is at 76.8 after 3 hours, flower room same as veg, fukn eh......
i gonna get a bigger inline fan for my main exaust, one of my light pipes stays pretty hot for cryin out loud, but not too hot thankfully........
so look at them there moms with there little ones hording around them... he he he.....
them moms are so ready for the next cloning, gonna have 3 Romulans this time to clone from, not to happy with my ak strain so thinking of weeding it out... only 1 ak mom left now....
i should have some flower pics up later.....

well, the flower lights gonna fire up now, so gonna watch the temps.... outside temp 75.9 .... veg temp 77.1 after 6 hours lights on ..... and the flower room is at 82.8 before the lights come on .... fukin gonna have to get more air in there or a bigger can fan using the flower room as the main exaust.....

well the flower room been lit up for 1 hour now, temps are...
outside 75.4....
veg 78.8 after lights on for 7 hours......
flower 89.8 after 1 hour lights on........ fuk

gonna try another vent flow setup for the 400w, had it going to the back of the flower room main fan, frigin stays too hot in the flower room.... so i run the vent hose direct to the filter, mabey that will help with my temps........
if no luck by the mornin i'll get a bigger inline exaugust fan, maby a bigger filter too.... fuk ......

well i am fed up with the fukn heat in my flower room........hit max of 97.1 last night......... did some research and found that my CanFan is only 250cfm..... my hydro guy sold it to me as the High output version..... fuk.... so he made good and i got the HO version at 440cfm for a good discount, so now i'm gonna hook the old can fan to the 400w and the new can fan ware the old one is....... so hopefully tonight i will solve my heat problem!

the fukn heat is totally stunting my buds......... frigin almost week 9 on plants that should only take 6-8 ..... i hope the new fan solves it...

u dont have any plants in flower? ur room(s) are huge.

nice setup as well uve got. where are u extracting ur ductwork? is ur grow room a spare room in the house or something? where are u running the duct(s)?

i can see that one of them is connected to ur HPS taking heat away from the canopy. the other one that i guess is in ur room somewhere, is that taking heat and smell?

how did u make the apertures for ur ducts? im abit skeptical about making holes in my wooden grow room becoz when i take it down, theres just gonna be holes there. or are u planning on filling them back in?

btw, plants look really healthy even thou its 97 in there.

the highest ive had is 95 i think. they'll be ok. did u hook up the new 400 fan? did it work?

...........so what's the verdict-----> you gettin' that heat sucked out of there?? I believe that without co2 your gonna keep stressing them until you can keep it in the low 80's, as I am sure you already know.....

Your whole set-up is looking great; we'll be waitin' for the updates!

I am about to buy that same fan, how loud is it, I was going to use inside the house so I am wondering if you will have to build an enclosure for it?

smokeh.... it's a fake wall in a basement, total messurments are 23' long by 5' wide by 8' high with 9' of it only 3' wide.
Clone/Res room is 5'L x 3'w x 8'h,
Power room is is 4'L x 3'w x 8'h,
Veg room is 6'L x 5'w x 8'h
Flower room is 8'L x 5'w x 8'h
that is the order of the rooms too
fresh air is sucked from an adjasent room via 2 x 200cfm fans thro the clone and veg room.
the 400w MH is sucking air via 250cfm from the clone and power room vents and exausting into the flower room
the flower room has 1 x 200cfm intake fan via vent from veg room, a carbon filter hooked to 2 x 600w HPS in light pipes and is exausted to a totally different part of the house.
and i got lotza plants on the verge of harvest, fukn heat... they been growin way slow....
gonna be changing the setup this summer with proper outside intake and exaugst, as well as rearanging the rooms so i get another 2'L for the flower room

and growinman, he he he, i know and am even thinkin of gettin a small portable AC for the veg room, i just don't wanna get into Co2 yet, not a good place to be bringing those kinda containers into, too obviese.... been thinkin of the Bucket thing tho, will see... and as for the heat, Ya, he he he, peeked at 90 last night, gonna rearange some vent fans and such and get even more.

hay 619SixFour..... he he he, loud! if ya plug it in before hookin tubing up, it sounds like a miny jet! it's not too loud when connected to piping, but you'll wanna make sure it's a fair distance from walls peeps will be behind, sounds like a furnace would thro an upstairs vent, ya thats it

and i will be posting some new pics tonight, the flower room got watered last night and hopin the lower temp show some plant growth!
