From seed to weed the auto ak47

So I think i may have to invest into a heater it got cold today and so did my grow room got to 59.7 degrees at one point. I'm able to stabilize it to 65 degrees which should be ok but i do want it a bit warmer.

damn I wish I lived in some cooler climate. Its freaking december and my grow room is topping out at 80 with the lights on and 75 off. That is cold if its hitting 59 I can't even imagine living somewhere that cold accutally lol. I'm jelous of your aks I wish mine looked like that....

How much longer you have Green on your Ak's? Got any pic's?

I have 3 days left till harvest. Ya man I got some pics lol ran into a little (well not little pretty big lol) nute lockout so thats why the leaves are all crazy looking. Switching nutes for next grow

Even with the nute lockout that bud looks pretty dam good. Nice job man. +rep

Thanks man. This was my first grow so I'm not gonna be hard on my self yet. And it was with cfls, I'll have the 400w hps by the end of the month so next grow should look pretty good.

Can you post the weight on the dry weight?

Dan how are the laidies looking? I harvested yesterday!!!! Oh what a good feeling. First time so I was sitting there trimming for like 2 and a half hours on just two plants lol. I'm expecting atleast an oz of #2, and an oz if not more from #1. Started another ak seed in some soil last week, sprouted on thursday so I'll be doing another grow journal.

bump new pics

they are looking great dangreen
nice and bushy

Those are looking great. The shoots really start getting bigger pretty soon its kinda crazy to watch these things grow.

hey man things are looking really good.

I finally got round to taking some pics, here they are ^^



There are some problems though. Im not sure if its nitrogen def or something else. Ive just given it a good feed so we shall see if theres any imrpovemnts 2morrow.



EDIT: On the pic i mean its very light green, im just to lazy to change the pic. All the lower leaves are turning light green almost yellow

You plants are looking great.
What kind of nutrients are you giving them and how often? Could be over fertilization or a nutrient deficiency. Seems pretty early at day 36 for the leaves to start turning yellow. Spotting not usually Nitrogen, think i would lean more towards Magnesium def. But if the leaves seem to be turning yellow quick probably Nitrogen specially because you are hitting full flowering soon. I'm not totally sure (3rd grow) so still fairly new to the game. But I hope things improve for you. Keep up the great growing.

That kinda looks like what mine did but my spots were more yellowish and then turned to rusty looking. Turned out mag deff.

Thanks for the advice guys.

The next day the after feeding the yellowing is still happening but the spots appear to been reduced.

Im wondering would the leafs go yellow if they were not getting enough light?

The leaves that are turning yellow are the bottom ones and they appear to be getting no light at all due to the confined spaces. So im wondering that is it.

Yea I would imagine that the leaves on the bottom could be turning yellow due to little light. But more then likely not, how much nitrogen is in the nutrients you are giving? Though im Kinda leaning toward what green said about magnesium, if your leaves start turning a rusty color might wanna get some mag.

Mine started with the lower leaves and slowly worked its way to the whole plant. You need to find out the problem quick cause your looking like your almost all the way done with veg. Literally over night both of my plants turned brown. Well all the fan leaves. The spots kept coming and then boom I walk in the grow room and was like WTF happened??????? I was to far in to fix it... but what can you say first grow and shit ill be happy even with a quarter off of each plant as long as it gets me high.

Also you might want to go ahead and trim all the yellowing leaves at the bottom off.

While trying to find out what was wrong with my laidies I stumbled across something saying that if you are suffering from a mag deff, and it has already set in (yellowish rusty spots, tips of leaves browning and curling upwards) that you should not add nutrients to it yet. It said you need to do a flush first and then slowly add the nutes back to it. Something about the mag creating a nutrient lockout and when you think you are doing the right thing by adding the nutes you are accutally creating a toxin that is more harmful for the plants. I don't know how much truth there was in that thread becaue I can't for the life of me recall where I read it, but I do know I read it on here. I also don't know if this is different for soil growers (as I am in hydro) but just didn't want you to turn out with what I had.

hmm yeah that makes sense. Thanks very much greenfire

I forgot to add about the nutes. Cos this is first grow i didnt invest in anything expensive. So i used a brand called tomorite, its NKP is 4-4.5-8 and apparantly it has magnesium which is why im so confused.

I do not have a proper pH tester only a cheap shit one which is a bit suspect. Im due for a watering soon so i shall flush then.

Ive been looking at the growFAQ and found this pic of mag def:



Those leaves look alot like how mine could go quickly but there is no lightening of the leaves.

I also found this chart which shows at what pH Mag and nitrogen would get locked out, they are prity close so this makes me think they have both been.



Final problem is that if the pH of my water is to high how can i lower it quickly as i think flushing with water of a to high pH will just not help. Ive heard lemon juice being used?
