How tall is it? And how far away were the lights from the plants?

She topped out @ 22 inches and right now I'm keeping the lights around 15 inches from the canopy. She is loving the extra light I'm giving her so I might drop the lights further.

Thx for the info! Hopefully you can get a good yield. Don't forget a smoke report as well.

Lights were out yesterday when I answered... Just took a look and the light is more like 12 inches from the canopy, fyi. Apparently I moved it already. heh.
Yeah, I don't know what to expect. I hope she yields good as well. I'd be happy with anything over an ounce I suppose.

Yea an oz or more would be nice seeing that it's an auto and high quality strain. Thats what I'll be shooting for when my AKRs get going.

Quick Update: It was a beautiful 80 degree day yesterday and I did not even so much as look in on my girls. It's only one day, right? What could go wrong? Well, I'll tell you... 80 degrees + 600w + Grower neglect = One sad ass, droopy, almost dead plant. Watered today, Hopefully she rebounds.

It just bothers me when I do stupid shit like that. I knew I had a feeding scheduled for today and that she was close to dry. So naturally when I forgot about her yesterday she dried up good. But these girls are resilient. Less than 30 minutes ago she looked like hell. I gave her a good drink and 80% of her leaves have perked up and are stretching for the light. The lower half still looks like hell but at least she is rebounding.

ive whacked a 125w into my double reflector, to go with the 250w already in there. Im not adding the other 250w till at least a week into october for this reason. My original 500w set-up really didnt do well with the weather at the time, i almost killed all mine too. I didnt even have a thermometer either so i was judging by my whim haha i got my thermometer like a week later and it was about 89oF
I hope ur girls recover well, youll get some necrotic leaves but nothing serious. At least you wernt on holiday or something

Well, The leaves that are fried are fried, not much i can do about that. But she was a droopy sad ass looking plant when i found her. After a drink she has raised her leaves to the sky for sweet sun and generally looks a lot better. Today and from here on appear to be cool, It's just yesterday that was summer's last hurrah that got me. It's funny, I check both tents everyday. And I mean everyday. Ya know, Except for yesterday. ha!

Hey everyone! This Afghan Kush Ryder grow will be coming to a close soon so I decided to pop another auto seed so once this one is harvested we'll get right onto the next one. Next up is a Flash Babylon from Samsara Seeds. I obtained this one as a UFO from Attitude a few months back. I like the genetics, Low Ryder x Northern Lights, So I'm excited to see what this one can do.
Day 58: This girl is recovering from last weeks neglect and is still packing on the weight and frosting up nicely. She has a lot more orange pistils and is putting out a delicious sweet pungent smell. I can only describe it as a "sweet gas" smell, like from a dentists office, Or the smell of someones breathe as they chew a super sugary gum, Like Bubblicious or Bazooka. Nutes as usual with Molasses. I'll scope today or tomorrow and see if I'm ready to start a flush. Lights are @ 450w on warmer days and 600w when heat allows.

nice bit of bud man, well done! My little stunted AKR is sooooo pathetic haha but it stinks now, i just cant wait to vape some

I ended up scoping the AKR a little while ago and she is about 50/50 clear/cloudy, with no amber. Pistils continue to darken and shrink and everyday she seems more and more frosted. I forgot I've been organic this entire run so no flush is needed. I think I'm gonna hit her hard tomorrow and harvest her sometime next week if all goes accordingly.

Yea from the pic of when you neglected her, to the next pic was like looking at 2 different plant. She beefed up real nice.

Yes, Thank god I have a few to cut soon as I am running way too low on bud. Can't have that happen! heh. That stretchy sativa better smoke as good as she grows, I can't tell you how much stress that one is causing me. Everyday is a battle just to water her! (Remember, her container is laying flat sideways)
Oh, Surprises! I love surprises.... *Eagerly waits*
Yeah, Faster than I thought too. I kind of figured 2-3 weeks "veg" then about 60 days after that to harvest. Being that I'll be harvesting at around the Day 65 I couldn't be any happier with the time frame. I just hope she yields an ounce or more.Lookin superb... almost there!
I thought for sure I wrecked this girl just prior to harvesting. It's amazing how fast a plant will bounce back providing you get them a drink within a reasonable time period.
