Tried this in the harvesting forum but nobody wants to answer me lol maybe the Irish lads will. How long do you think this AK has to go lads , she is 8 weeks into flower and I began flushing this evening. I think maybe ten days to pack out before cutting , maybe less , maybe more. I don't have a mic for trichomes but around 60 percent of the pistils are turning orange.

Evening all, well morning I guess.
I've a query for buyers out there.

If you were buying weed for e300 an oz, what would you be getting for your money? Assume the weight is right and it's dry. So what's the product gonna be like at that price? Can you get an oz for that? What would be your expectations?

Cheers for the input. :)

hard ta get oz over here for 300e 400e is the cheapest I heard in a while for average stuff,hear some are payin 450e an o....anyone sellin grade over here for 3 an oz would clean up...hope this helps
Well, yeah it helps, thanks!
It'd be nice to have somebody say to 'grade' this shit for me. I'm pretty sure it could get a reasonable price.
I know of one guy who buys 2.8g for e50 which seems common enough, but I couldn't be party to that nonsense.
3.5g, an actual ⅛ seems dear enough at e50 to me. But at tenth of an oz? That's exploiting people. Par for the course out here though. Irish Water should take up growing...

Alright lads. I'm new to this site. About 40 days into my first grow. 6 critical kush and 3 cbd kush. Vegging under t 5's. Just finishing constructing flower room so hopefully throw them in there in a week or so. I'll post pics when I get a chance, maybe tonight or tomorrow. First grow so I'll be looking some advice!!
Welcome. Bit off pruning needed. Look into training your plants next grow. good for first grow.

Breeders recemondation and add about a week, thats a very rough giude, Pistils is not a good way. leaves should be yellowing. No need to flush if your using bio.
Hard to tell exactly without a (mic?) jewelers loop, get one on ebay for a few Euros.

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I'll look at training next...just concentrating on the basics and not funking up for my 1st grow.

Flower room should be ready.in few days or a week. They need reporting quick though. But was just going to pop them into 10 litre pots in there, keep them 18/6 for a week so the roots can fill out the bigger pot, then flip them. Sound alright??

Here they are. A to f are the critical kush. G h and I are the Cbd.kush.

I have a 600 with bulb, 1m X 1 m space.I was planning on 3 ck and 1 cbd into flower. Any advice on which ones, or if I should flower more saying as it's my first grow??

Was just going to pop the into 10 litre pots under big light. Any other advice moving forward would be greatly appreciated. Cheers...
Not very knowledgeable with the strains. I am sure others will chime in. I would tend to choose whatever looks healthiest.

Stick your head into the harvesting forum here and spend an hour plenty of info in it. Loads of differant ways you can do it, hang dry , paper bags combination of both everyone has a preferance!, generally hang in a dark closet with some air circulation not directly on the buds for a few days until the stems are dry then into brown paper bags for a day or two and into the jat for curing..
Thats pretty much how I do it too.

What temps are you getting with your setup? Just wondering.

Has been a constant 23 - 24 degree's throughout, had a spike for a week or so during the hot weather but other than that the tents been constant. That's with a 400 watt HPS , oscilating fan and carbon filter running...

Looks nice, big colas. Is that nute burn or just to dry or high temps?

I will throw some pics up tonight if I remember.

Do man, not nute burn because I stopped feeding it nutes after the issues I had early on , well a quarter feed every two weeks. Temps are fine but it is a little dry in there so that's what I think it is. It's also coming to the end of flower so I expected the yellowing to start kicking in. It's not so prominent on the other plants that are behind her.

Yeah man looks good looks like a nice yielder for sure. AK is one of my all time old school favorites. Its the AK47 right? Not AK48?

It's actually a new cross from Zambeza it's AK 47 crossed with Amnesia. It's been years since I grew so wanted to try something new but at the same time go with something I know is a good strain so went with this and Jack Herrer, I also have one called Notorious White which is a Sativa Silver Haze x Bubblegum , she's taking forever to flower. The two Jack Herrers are a month younger and way ahead of her..I'm actually getting worried somethings up with it now..stems arent as strong as I'd like even had to tie it up a bit last night shouldn't be like that at this stage...sorry I;m rambling now..

That's ok the slower they dry the better the end result will be don't rush it I know it's tempting but imagine how pissed you'd be ruining it for the sake of a few days after all the effort. I'd go two more days hanging then I'd trim it up and bag it in the paper bags for a couple of days ,opening the bag and moving it around. Then after 3 days of that into the jars and burb. Two weeks the smoke will be lovely.

I don;t have the hang dry option this time around and drying is my worry as well, Going to have to box it straight from cut.
