Hi deconfrost back to 420Land.

I don't do hydro, but your photos are great

any pics of the second AK?

Happy first post mucksavage!

to 420Land.


He only has 1 AK and 1 White shark.


He had 2 white widows, but they didn't make it

first round 2 x white widow clones, 1 x ak47 clone, 1 x white shark clone

thanks for the welcome, long time lurking these sites, i have a feeling a second AK might make a showing

 

[deconfrost]

Mucksavage gave me another ak to go in looks like the shark is not doing a lot after growing one root.... Lol second ak is in beside the white shark, and I see how she is this evening

 

[deconfrost]

first AK is going very well, hasn't stretch a bit, just bushy
I topped her today, will be topping all the branches if I can before puting in to 12/12, I wait and see how much more bush can she gets in another 10 days while keep topping her

I though she was growing slowish for a minute, but after comparing her pic 8 days ago, she has now double the amount of branches, it is actually a lot bigger

any pics of the second AK?

the new girl is a little shy yet, funny looking for now she is

looking good decon, you might convince me buckets are the future yet

looking good decon, you might convince me buckets are the future yet

buckets are the future for low budget happy harvest All I need now is a way to run a 600w HPS in 200% stealth mode

with the size, 4 plants 30days vegging flower with HPS can easily have 40+ ounces



I dropped the ppm on the AK to 700 from 1300, since I never monitored it before, maybe good to start at 700ppm and see if it raises or drops the next couple of days and make the adjustment, the new ak and the shark still needs settling in, they are at 500ppm, tap water alone is 200ppm

Hi deconfrost back to 420Land.

I don't do hydro, but your photos are great

thanks Ricorico


checked the girls today, new AK not doing so well, maybe transplanted too late from soil to hydro, white shark loved the ppm dropped, shot out a good few new roots over night and raised the ph over 7, same for the big AK, noticeable roots growth and ph raised to 7.5, both were set to 5.8, hard to tell the water level in the white shark but big ak water level dropped, both ppm remain the same, its a good sign

no pics today, you can certainly see changes on the big AK and the shark but not enough to post more pics really big AK has noticeable growth everyday love it

Sad News, the second AK didnt make it, it was very much dead today so I pulled it out, shark is coming along slowly still, a bit of roots and plant growth, little bit a day

the old AK is doing very well, stripped a couple of leafs today to expose to branches more, topped in a few places, only a couple haven't been topped yet.

here's a pic after stripping a few leafs

 

[deconfrost]

Little update.. I been continuously topping and stripping and pulling the Ak down for a few days now... There are now thirty something branches all together including the new growth catching up to the rest, maybe more but very hard to count... They very tight together ... More roots growing everyday... I might do one more topping on a few branches and let it get a bit bigger then in to 12/12... Hopefully 10 days from now

The shark is still small but it's packing on internodes. Well starting to... And a brand new think root shoot out from the side of the pot away from the other new growth off the older roots... It's starting to catch up

 

[deconfrost]

today should be the last stripping, from now on just keep pulling them aay from each other to make space for them to bush out, 10 days from now should be good to go looks very empty yes I know, but she will bush out in no time, added bud caddy today to increase nutes uptake there are over 40 branches exposed to direct light in total, hard to see them all in photo...

the white shark should start to catch up shortly

Simply Wow, them little girls have nice white roots and should spring forth soon my friend very cool little girls that will become behemoth's soon enough.

 

[danklover79]

Looking good, +reps for those roots!

 

[deconfrost]

thanks guys

I just love watching them grow , the bud caddy should speed them up a little

Light Addict do you have a journal or post for the winner plant? would be a nice read and learn some more from it

 

[deconfrost]

here's the AK today just for reference what 24 hours can do to the plant

 

[deconfrost]

I couldn't resist today but to branch her out once more, so strip strip strip then re pull them down again and have them all separated and fully expose to lights, so many branches, some are still small and hard to see, 80% of the plant has been topped

really have to make this the last time or I be vegging forever

 

[deconfrost]

the ak seems to be doing very well, shouldnt be long to bush out again

 

[Light Addict]

Loving the training my friend, looking cool. The BV I didn't do any journal. As I won though and got lots of interest from people I started my current journal with the Tutt. I'm using the exact same methods except I let her go two extra nodes before topping this time. I'm hoping for at least a 3rd more heads than the BV with this one.

 

[danklover79]

That's some aggressive training you got going, I'm doing the same in my next grow, gotta keep em short! I use pipe cleaners, but the paperclips look like they work well, good job.
