AK 48 SGROG FFOF, 400 watts CFL - FINAL WEIGHTS
    #582345 - 08/30/11 09:17 PM (12 years, 6 months ago)

Day 45

This will be my last AK 48 grow, and my last grow for awhile.  This shit can be stressful :bomb:

I using Fox Farm Ocean Forest cut with 30% perlite and 20% vermiculite.
I have 4 AK 48 clones, 2 each in a 5 gallon Deck Planter
They were under 24 hrs of light for about 1.5 months
They are being fed with FF Tiger Bloom, Grow Big, and Big Bloom
They were put under the screen on the 27th
I'm watering with RO water
I'm using drops to test pH (threw my pH meter against the wall during my last grow) oops! :shrug:
Flowering under 6, 68 watt CFLs 3500K  408 watts total




The 4 ladies are showing signs of stress.  The new growth was getting very light in color.  I believe happened for a few reasons

1.  They were a good 3-4 inches above the screen when I put them in.  The screen is already full.  I believe I put them through some stress with all that training and pruning.

2.  They were hungry...  I've been having problems with the RO water I am purchasing.  The pH is in the 4-5 range.  I mentioned this to the store owner, and he said it's because  the tap water is coming out hot at 92-94 degrees.  It had always been right around 7 before.  Unfortunatly, I found this out by watering my ladies with it unchecked.  I watered with a pH of 4.7 and 1 hour later, my plants looked very sad.  I rewatered with pH corrected water, and all was good.  Like a dumb ass, I did this 2 waterings in a row!  Doing so, I flush a lot of nutes out of the soil.

They got a good feeding yesterday
2 tsp of Grow Big
2 tsp of Tiger Bloom
3 tsp of Big Bloom

3.  A change in heat.  My veg area is constantly in the mid 70's.  My flowering cab hovers from low 80's to mid 80's.  It sometimes reaches the upper.

4.  Change in light temp.  I vegged in about 50/50 CFL spectrum 5000K/3500K Maybe the sudden jump to 100% has something to do with it. 

I'm keeping a close eye on them to see if they worsen or start to recover.

Anyways, next pics will be week end of week 1 of flowering.  Hope you enjoy.

Day 48
Flower 0.5 :grin:

The girls will become women now.  I flip the lights in the am.  Let the fun begin



They are starting to recover since there feeding.  I'm going to water them tomorrow with 6.8 pH RO water.

One thing I forgot to mention in my first post, My goal this grow is to break 5 ounces.  This SCROG will fill about 90-95% of my 6 sq ft cab.

Day 56
Flower 8

Pics are from last night



Fed last night as well pH 6.5-6.8

3 tsp Tiger Bloom
3 tsp Big Bloom
1/2 tsp Grow Big

pH issues are back under control.  The plants once again look hungry, but better than before. 
I let the plants in the far corner just grow (first pic).  They are hard to reach in my cab.  The right side of the cab has a more even canopy.

I also like how the back corner of my cab has a staircase like look to it.  It worked out rather nicely. The back buds are getting as much light as they can.

Day 65
Flower 17

So, today I cracked my closet door because I would not be home when the lights come on, and I noticed the lights were already on...
Yesterday I did not check on my plants at all, I feel asleep.  The only explanation I have is that the on button, on my timer, got bumped, but when?  at least 48 hrs ago, but maybe longer. 

Regardless, I'm just going to let them grow.  There is nothing more I can do.  I don't have another lined up.  I was going to take some time off.

Mad, but what can you do?  I will not let this stress me out.

4 plants total.  2 in each pot.  The cab is 6 sq feet and I'm using just about all of that space. 1.5 x 4

When they were put under the screen I removed all the leaves and shoots beneath the screen.  I don't want any buds growing down there so i pick any that try to grow.  There aren't many that do.  Other than that I just let the stuff grow.  I will rarely take a fan leaf off the top region.  Only if it is significantly blocking light to other buds.

I'm sure the light thing won't really cause any issues.

Watered today,  RO pH 6.3-6.7

Lefty is looking better than righty.  Lefty being the 2 on the left, next to the carbon scrubber.  It never fails, at about week 4-5 for me, my plants start to show signs of nute lock out.  It  could just be that righty was effected more by the flush?  Hopefully the flush did it's job and the aggressive feeding will clear it up.  pics in 4 days.

Found fungus gnat larvae in my soil today. I'm going to wait 4-5 days to feed next to let the soil get nice and dry.

Cant wait to see the results. Looks tastey good sir.  :homerdrool:


--------------------
In order to grow good weed you need to be part carpenter, electrician, plumber, biologist, geneticist, chemist, and very willing to get dirty.

I've been working with power tools since I was 8, my dad is an electrical engineer who owned a 280 gal fish tank, and I studied biology with a specialty in genetics. Getting dirty comes naturally. I think my parents inadvertently trained me to be a weed grower.

See what you think on my first try.

Discovered some different bugs today.  It's my first run in with these what ever they are.  They are only in the soil, but look much different than my fungus gnat larvae.  I vacuumed the top inch of soil from both pots.  I was going to replace the soil, but found my bag of soil was infested with them.  Hell most likely it's where I got them from.  So instead I covered the top of the soil with some vermiculite.  I will do this once a week until they are harvested, then during my time off, i will do some serious cleaning.  The once a week removal of top soil should keep any new larvae from hatching and I hope significantly reduce the population of both pests.

It's not too bad.  The removal of the top inch of soil helped.  it took about 10 solid minutes of starring at my soil to see any bugs.  Before it only took 1 minute or less.

I'm getting excited for you. Good luck, going to keep my eye on it.

They are looking great. I'm excited for you.
I can't believe that all those are only from 4 plants! I think you have turned me onto scrogging, lol
It has always been on my to-learn list, but I had no idea that 4 plants could look like 14 lol

Where did you get your screen from? And how much if you don't mind me asking. I might give it a try on my grow

Thanks Guys! 

Yes 4 ladies.  All of the top flowers you see are 3+ inches in length.  The SCROG is a no brainer for my situation, which is only having 6 sq. feet and 3.5 ft of height.

I say go for it it is easy and the results are great.

I made the screen out of normal wall screw hooks and twine.  I screwed about 20-25 of these in the inside of my cab.  They are all the same height off the ground and spaced 6 inches apart.  I then wind the twine through the hooks over and over until I have a nice web.

This is not a full view but you get the idea.  There are six 68 watt CFL's lined up side by side for about 3.5 feet.  I built a air cooled hood and reflector for them.  The bulbs stick out off the wall about 1 ft. to put things into perspective.

Thats baically how I intend to make the screen. Its going to be a PVC frame with twine wrapped around to make a net.

I know I don't post much but I I've been keeping up with your grows since late last year. And I must say thanks man for documenting everything. It's amazing what cfls can do despite how superior hps and hids are. Anyways  awesome stuff, cant wait for a smoke report!! I'm really curious to see what your final yield will be. Maybe 200+ grams dry :yesnod:

While i have nvr grown using CFL's, i do know from friends that you can grow just as potent bud with them and yields are only 10-25% lower. Obviously the yield depends on the amount of lighting you have and if their in the correct spectrum. I would bet if you had enough CFL's to match a HID'S lumen and spectrum's you would get the similar results.

That would be a lot of CFL's! :awehigh:

200+ would be ridiculous.  I would be super happy with 150 grams.  Sadly my pessimistic views are leading me to believe that I will not pass my last mark due to a very unhappy plant in it's last week.

That being said, here are some close ups...  keeping my eye on those trichs.

8 weeks over

These ladies are coming down on Sunday.  Enjoy the final pics until harvest.  The plants have received 2 consecutive straight waterings and then a flush last night. Righty has just about used up all of her fan leaves.  Lefty is doing well.

I can't wait to see the numbers on this. A lot of your set up matches my own. Soil and lights and stuff. Though mine is a little slower start up. Just curious.

Nice. I'm keen to find out the total weight. Both wet & dry. Keep us posted. And don't forget to report on how she smokes up.

Makes me wish I was at the end of my grow lol

Thanks all. 

Yes, 8 hrs and today I was super weak and sore. 
SCROG = More trimming. So I just rocked the headphones and power smoked through it.

No wet weight to repot.  Really no way to get an accurate weight. 3-4 days and I will post the weight. 

Hash to come in 2-3 days.  Pics as always. 
Last night, I took a hand full of fresh popcorn bud, maybe 2 grams finished product, and did an ISO 91% run and got some SICK butter/Wax.  One hit and done.  It was a super intense energetic high. 

I think I'm going to fill gel capsules with my silk screen hash runs this go round.  Not really sure how much product to use though.  The capsules hold 250 mg .  I think I will try a few different amounts.

Muse bro i'm really interested in your dry weight, as i'm thinking of doing a scrog after this grow if its really worth the effort...considering you had 4 plants it looks like it may be worth it...

I would say that it is worth it.  I will continue to use SCROG when I get my first HID.  I yielded almost 5 ounces on my last grow and hope to do better with this one.

thanks to your growlog, I am so keen now to try the scrog, lol
Even though its my first grow, I'm having trouble telling myself to wait till I'm more experienced, haha

So your basically just taking the tops and pushing it back under the screen right?
Is there anything else I need to know to successfully scrog? My chemdogs will be ready for training soon and I really wanna try it to get the same effect you had. With my 5 plants in a 4x4 tent, will my 400w hps be enough?

Oh yeah, real interested to find out your weight also, I'll be keeping my eye on this thread :popcorn:

Your set up sounds great and will yield way more than I'm going to.

Correct.  I also tie down tops with twisty ties.

One thing I recommend is to remove all leaves and under developed growth beneath the screen.  As your screen fills up the growth beneath it  will get less and less light.  If left to grow, the end result will be numerous underdeveloped popcorn buds that are using energy the top buds could be using and putting to better use.

I just hope my results look as awesome as yours!


--------------------
In order to grow good weed you need to be part carpenter, electrician, plumber, biologist, geneticist, chemist, and very willing to get dirty.

I've been working with power tools since I was 8, my dad is an electrical engineer who owned a 280 gal fish tank, and I studied biology with a specialty in genetics. Getting dirty comes naturally. I think my parents inadvertently trained me to be a weed grower.

See what you think on my first try.

This is my 5th grow, and I have gotten much better results with each grow. 
My first grow was Mexican Brick bag seed.  I started like most newbs do by watering it with straight tap water without knowing my pH.  The grow was marred by mistake after mistake and compounded with overreaction after overreaction. 
I underfed my plants on my first 2 grows. 
My first 3, I picked too early.  My last and this have been my first real successes.  This grow could have gone longer.

I'm going to take a break, but my next grow will be Nirvana's Aurora Indica Feminized.  I want to push the flowering time on this to get maximum couch lock.

Another success!  I can't believe your taking a break from growing, it seems like you always have a journal up and running...

Well done.

Yeah the break is needed.  The stress of growing can get to be much at times.  I'm not taking to long of a break.  I figure 1-2 months and I will have to start again.  Can't run out of smoke.  Once back, I plan on doing 2 Aurora Indca SCROGS and then taking the summer off due to heat.  My next goal will be 6 ounces.

It's like growing mushrooms, it is easy once you get a few grows under your belt.  It is still not as easy as growing mushrooms though.  They practically grow themselves.

Indeed they are.  They smell a lot more skunky than I remember.  That might be due to the drying at lower temps due to winters arrival.

Sweet looking.

There is nothing more rewarding than to smoke what you have grown.

What do you mean?


Here are some hash pics.



Pic 1  250 mg capsulls filled with the kief from a silk screen run. Made 17
Pic 2  2.7 g of ISO hash, I ran the used silk screen material 2 times.
Pic 3  The current ISO hash run

So i used half of my trim and popcorn to make the kief and pills and the other half is being used for a straight ISO run.  It will be nice to compare it with the other made from leftovers.

I think you should have plenty of room phrostbyte.
You need to remember that these were grown in a scrog and trained so each plant had multiple tops. Even if you decide to scrog, you can tailor it to the size of your tent quite easily, I think you should be fine. 1sq ft per plant should be plenty mate :smile:
