That's a bummer about the dry atmosphere. Hope that works out for you.

Wanted to verify: are you sure that those are three GALLON pots you've got these plants in? They don't look that big from all the pictures you've posted. I'm just curious because I saw that you also recommended one LITER soda bottles to someone for auto flowers.

Wonderful grow. Thanks for all the info.

No I meant 1 liter to start, possibly good for LR#1. You would want at least 2 gallon. One of my Auto AK47 is in a 2 gallon maybe that's what you seen. The rest are actually 3.3 gallon pots, got them at a hydroponics store. Wanted to compare the two to see the difference. Cause If they were in 2 gallon pots I might be able to squeeze another couple plants into the grow without compromise. And in my snow ryder grow the plants actually grew better in the 2 gallon. So I guess well see.

I know what that is like. My whole family was in for the hoildays lol hectic to say the least. Couldn't smoke till like 1 in the morning when they all went to bed. They dont know I smoke so gotta keep it super secert. Hope the laidies are looking good. I had to transplant my girl and she took it pretty harsh. On a bounce back though so I hope she makes it. Happy Growing and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!

Wouldnt transplanting just cause more shock, well its done now anyway. Have you given it a flush?

Ya man these little aks don't take so well to transplating. Did mine two days ago and she is just now bouncing back from it. Got two other seeds in the dirt though so all should be well. Hope she makes it man.

Talking about your plants getting shock and that i was wondering if anyone has tried that superthrive stuff or a similar thing which is for the general care of the plant. Like if your gonna transplant or if its had any shock at all you can use this stuff and it gives it a boost.

cool tubes rule!!! i find them a must for small places/tents/cabinets!!! my af AK feminized are in the mail and i have a af greatwhiteshark in a 6,5l pot. one thing i have to suggest is organic grow!!! you can buy pre mixed soil add some goodies like worm castings and high p bat guano and u never get nute lock ups!!! go organic its almost impossible to overfertilise you have less risk of stunting your plants or creating nute lockups. chemical ferts change the soil ph whilst organic dont!! u will need little feeding only molasses and worm casting teas!! you can add any natural fertilizer that you wish to be part of your feeding schedule!! i have added pelecan guano to a light soil mix worm castings and perlite for my seedlings and as there roots go deeper they find the hot soil which is mixed with additional worm castings and high p bat guano. i also have a high p k organic fertilizer by cellmax and i add when watering during final stages of growth. just a suggestion go organic!!!

DUDE they have af great white shark?????? Where did you find these. I am doing the regular great white shark after I finish my auto ak47s. To bad I already purchased the seeds. Oh well I would rether have a bigger plant anyways.

He is right organic is awesome. I haven't had one sign of over feeding this time.

is it bat guano? Cause if it is then yes. Everybody here is a great place to get organic nutrients. www.ebay.com and then type in BMO (Blue Mountain Organics) super great prices on guano veg and flower liquids.

Hey I just started my first grow with these seeds and found this awesome topic just in time :)

I'm going to grow 2 plants and I can only spare 22cm x 16cm x 10cm (this is about 1 gallon total volume) soil space for them each. Height is only 10cm how big problem will this be for me? Total grow space is only 65cm high so I need to keep height down as much as possible. Should i sacrifice more space for soil in expense of total plant height? The lighting will be done with 4x23W and 1x30W CFLs. Got a heater in the space since it gets down to 5C sometimes outside the box.

One of my problems is that they're in a place where it's a pain for me to check on them which is bad for a first grow since I cant follow up on them as often as I'd like. So now I'd like to know how often and how much I should water these plants. So could someone give me a good estimate on how I should do the watering the more seldom the better. I'm going to have clay pellets on the surface which is supposed to keep the moisture in the soil better.

Please comment on my plans, all ideas are welcome :)

Here's picture of the 2 plants

Plant 2 (age 2 days):

Your gonna need a bigger pot deff I say no smaller than 2gal they auto ak's have pretty big root systems. You will run into root bind if you keep her in there.

1 gallon pot is fine tbh, not idealbut meh.

your biggest problem will be height, my tallest is 60cm. And with cfl it might stretch. Watering depends on medium, air flow and temps. it differs 4 each, make sure to get some perlite.

i would get a bigger box

edit, justt reread, 10cm is a liittle shallow

Day 58

The past few weeks have been rough on my girls. The lack of attention I have been able to give them has caused ph problems causing nute lock up on one and yellowing on a couple others. Also had a problem with a my light falling and cracking a top of one of my girls and breaking a branch off another plant. Last picture is of the top. Other then the problems they are packing on some meat, smelling really good and looking to finish here soon.
