Hey, good luck man!
No, this time no bugs! Last time I had fruitflies. You only get those if you're growing in soil and to prevent or get rid of them just cover your soil with sand. Did it this time on like 2nd week. Othervise you shouldn't get them.
You can also consider putting a screen on your intake fan/hole, like this:

Week 5 update:
34 days from seed, 29 since sprouted.
She is looking great:
20/4 reaaly does seem to work better than 24/0. Just look at the internode spacing:
it is in full flower mode, look at all the calyxes! Also few more tops coming in
The progress is good!
Just a month away from the harvest

Week 6 update:
it have been 41 days from seed, 36 from sprout. Things seem to go nice! She's a foot+ tall. Branches out a bit:
This last week was super boring. I did almost nothing beside watering.
I found an article somewhere, where was said, it's better to harvest just before the light usually turns on, as most chemicals are stored in the roots during the night. And therefore the taste should improve. But for now it does not really matter
Here are a few more fresh pictures:
The budding:
That's it for now. The growth seems to slow down. I guess we're in full flowrr mode!

Week 7 update:
48 from seed, 43 since sprouted
She now measures at around 17"
A lot of smaller tops are also begin to fil up
But the top branch is the interesting one
Nithing else actually. Watered her yesterday with 3/4 of a dose, because she is quite small.
Now if anyone looks here - does she look like finishing in 2-3 weeks? To me it does not, but every possible AK Auto grow you can find online seem to harvest at around 60-67 days from seed. Hopefully she does. I haven't smoked for way too long.

hey man. looking nice..makes me want to flower some plants out of my small veg room..hmm..hah.
I think you're in a little bit of a rush as far as harvest man let her do her thing. those estimates are usually counting from the day you see the first signs of bloom...you still have a while to wait by the looks of it man at least a few weeks

Harvesting at night is a good way to improve taste, but it's not because of "chemicals" so much, but rather starch. During the day the leaves produce starches as part of photosynthesis, at night the starches are drained from the leaves and stored in the roots, you can tell just how much using an iodine test since the iodine dyes the starch but not the leaf tissue. So yeah, harvesting during dark period has real science behind it, since more starches = harsher smoke.

I would give it longer than 2-3 more weeks, just IMO, plant looks great though!

Thanks! I'll see how long my patience will allow me to wait
Well, this one is an Autoflowering, meaning it's flowering regardless of lighthours. Mine is still on 20/4 schedule as it was from the start. You should browse around the forum and the webwhat do you mean you have no experience with photo plants???????
There are a lot of good things lying around here.p.s. you plant is either autoflowering or a photo plant. Generally if it just a bagseed you can just asume it's a photo plant ant treat it as such.

Week 8 update:
55 fucking days from seed, 50 efin' days from sprout.
Every hour is 24 times longer. No sleep at night. Why oh why wouldn't it finish already.
Front pic:
coming up at somewhere around 19"
looks like it started flowering yesterday, when it should be finishing!
Some closeups:
Well, at least it finaly showing some frost on it. Not a lot, but some! Also calyxes are beginning to swell up.
Through the 45x loupe I can't see s&$/ all trichoms look milky, which can't be right.
Well the most time she gets is another 2 weeks. So we'll see how she develops through the next week and then decide how much longer. But I still like to harvest when most trichomes are milky, so as I see more than maybe 5% amber will definately chop. I like em that way.
Looked at my previous, first grow and seen that I harvested at 68 days so probably this time also around that time mark.
Cheers!
