My 3.5 week old AK47 auto is only 7 inches tall and 13 inch diameter but looks fine

Thats a good yield for your first grow pirate.Shud keep ya going for a while.Only too pleased to be of assistance,i enjoyed helping.
Are you gonna do a journal for your next grow? I`ll keep an eye out for it.
GL.

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 else in future journals?

I cant think of anything offhand but if i do i will let you know.
Btw,the 4 bagseed i had in veg,all turned out to be female so ive got a tent full,haha.

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 observations. I find CFL growing matches my conditions and feel I'll be using these lights for some time. Thanks to everyone for the helpful advice. Please keep in touch. You can bet I'm going to be pestering you in the future for more tips.

Wow...100 g's is damn nice. I can't tell you how many forum posts I've read that say that kind of yield isn't possible with an auto. lol Next time I see that, I'll have to drop a link to your grow when I see someone post that. =) If my ak47 yields half that, then I'll be satisfied. You've definitely raised my expectations for how my first grow may turn out.

Congrats on completing your first grow! You seem to have come out quite successful despite a few issues early on.

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 wife is sure glad I'm into this new hobby. I bought her a Topoo vaporizer and she also feels this is a vast improvement over the bongs she is used to toking. It's also a bit healthier. I'll do the same type journals on my next grow (another AK47 auto, Nirvana Northern Light, and Nirvana Aurora Indica). The seeds are popping now so we'll see how things progress. Good luck with your AK47. I'm sure it will be a pleasant surprise for you. Later gator!

Here is before after

I give you guys much props for your soil grows. Just seems so many issues with spiders nutes ph. Man this hydro thing is easy fast and so far looks good with lil to no maintenance
