Beezkneez's Grow Journal - 1000w AK-47

Hello rollitup. About a month ago I was posting some questions about my grow room and got a great amount of help! Ive decided to start a grow journal to help anyone I can, and to keep things tracked easier .

Specs:

• 2x3x6.5 ft grow box
• 1000w HPS cooltube with reflector
• 170 CFM 4" inline fan
• 4" carbon filter
• 6" homedepot duct intake fan
• Custom A/C unit attached to intake fan for cooler air.
• 6" circulating fan
• 6 AK-47 clones
• Ocean Forest soil
• Foxfarm Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom
• 3 gallon containers

Day 1:
Today I got the clones and transfered them into the bigger pots. First day in the new box (Clones were about 3 weeks old when I got them. Currently using the 1000w HPS on them. (Ran out of money to buy a different spectrum light for vegging. Shouldn't be a problem for this grow, switching to flower in a week or so)








Day 6:
Babies are doing much better adapting to the new home. Started feeding them Grow Big and they love it! Temps are getting a little warm so I plan to build an a/c unit to attach to the intake fan. (Copper tubing pumping ice water through it and over the fan)





Day 8:
Corner ak's are taking off, the 2 in the middle are just finding the right spot and are doing better. Last few days of vegging.




Day 10:
Switched them to 12/12 flowering cycle today. Tomorrow I will begin to give them the Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom, they will explode!




Day 12:
Much more growth into the flower stage. Babies are loving the nutrients and light, cant wait to see some flowers popping up.





Day 14:
Gave them water with nutrients yesterday. A lot of growth in the night cycle, spots for flower are starting to shoot up!

What do you guys think

Day 16:
Lots of growth, watered today. Can see some flowers starting to form

sweet I'm 'scribed hows your small box doing on temps I know you said you had heat probs. but how much?? BTW the idea of copper pipe and ice water is genius I use a similar method for a cooling fan at work just get and Igloo or similar cooler... fill it with ice and water.... put in a pump attached to copper..... run copper to fan and presto. I've modified mine a little over the years but all in all its simple and effective. Good luck to you!!

Day 18:
Flowers are showing more and more everyday. Temps have started to stable. Between 70-80 now.

Day 21:
Sorry for not getting back to you guys yesterday and take some new pictures but 420 left me in a haze.
Temps are staying good, 70-80. Flowers looking better every day.

Day 22:
Temps are at 73 today. Watered them today, tomorrow morning is going to be a beautiful site when they suck up all this water today!

Day 24: (Yesterday)
Back left plant got a case of the spider mites. I lowered temps in the grow room to 60-65 to slow the speed of the mites reproducing. Putting lady bugs in there tonight.

Day 40:
Hello everyone im back with some updates! I could not find my camera charger for the life of me. As far as the spider mite issue, I did 2 applications of azamax and it worked perfect! Only about 3.5 weeks left until harvest. Cant wait!

Day 45: Hey guys. Been a few days since i updated. About 20 days left til the cut down. Last night i sprayed a final application of azamax on the foliage for the the spider mite infestation (This shit works, worked after first application but i didnt want to run into an issue while i was flushing). Starting next week ill start to flush the girls. Cant wait to finish! so exciting. Tell me what you guys think. Lots of nugs for ya.

Tomorrow is the big day, 36 hours of darkness before crop. Ill post some pics of the sexy buds later

nice man you done well to keep your temp down on that 1000watter +rep

Nice plants dude. Ak 47 is awesome. Cant wait to here how those buds are. + rep

great grow, can't wait to see some sexy buds

The day has come! Some super heavy nugs, we will see in a week how much we got.

Total yield = 6oz. Not bad for a small ass space. Gonna try starting up some white rhino x2 and grape ape x2 in the next couple of days.
