Indoor AK in 2x2x4 with one Autocob - Coco Hempy Bucket

[elcoloan]

Update​

It's day 97 after putting the seed in moist towel for this supposedly Auto AK.

I switched her to 12/12 about 16 days ago, and flowering has started, finally!
Autocob is set about 10 inches from canopy level, and can't get it higher, neither do i have space to bend the taller stalks without blocking the light for other branches.

I've managed to control humidity a bit and now max RH is 70% and min in 64%. Temps are min 18C max 22C. I'll be acquiring some calcium chloride to reduce RH even more.

Still just feeding MC 1.0 and Calmag pro only. Fed everyday once a day. 1.3-1.5 EC total... when i reached 1.5 it started getting burnt tips so now i try not to go beyond 1.4.
I have Green Leaf's PK Booster, but don't plan on using it.Things are crammed enough as it is.... I'm worried big fat buds will just make things worse.... never thought i'd be wishing my buds were small and airy!

I defoliate every single day since last weekend and have removed several lower branches! I wasn't used to doing that, but It keeps stretching and growing new shoots, so it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.... I hope she doesn't hermie on me!
I took one of the first branches I removed, cut it in three parts, and put them in wet peat hoping to get at least a clone from them. All three seem to be doing fine after a week or so, but direct light still gets them droopy.

Thanks for passing by!

She’s gonna be massive! You’ve had enough veg time for several autos. Veg master!

... You’ve had enough veg time for several autos...

that's what will piss me off if she at least doesn't produce quality buds... i was expecting to have something to vaporize by now... i promised i wouldn't buy more weed, only what i grow... it's been a hard wait!!!! oh well, 2 more months to go now... my patience is really being tested!

to be honest, she is getting much bigger than i'd like her to be... but i have a little balcony i could send her to but it only gets about 5 hours of direct afternoon sunlight... still not sure what will happen with her. might give her as a gift to a friend who has a nice outdoors garden with direct sunlight all day and just put the clones in my tent.. but that would extend my Tolerance break much longer than i wanted too... ugh this pot head dilemas hehehehe

UPDATE

So, it's been 10 days since last update. She is 106 days old counting from the day the seed was placed in moist paper towels. 26 days ago she was flipped into 12/12 because she was not entering flowering by herself.

She has been eating Mega Crop v1.0 at 1.3-1.5 EC, including some CalMag Pro, 5.8-6.0 pH. I dont' plan to give bloom boosters or anything else.

Right now her main cola is at 4 inches form the light, and a branch that became as big as the main stem is at 2.5 inches. Just recently did the leaves start canoeing a bit.

RH is a bit high, but VPD is in check.

I have about 6 cuttings from her taken in to occasions (3 and 3), 2 are from the first batch are already rooted, the others are on their way. I used peat and perlite and water.

Quick update:

She is close to finishing her 5th flowering week. Light is now at 3-4 inches from the tallest colas. VPD is still in check. More burnt tips so now I feed at max 1.3 EC. No yellow leaves, but do see signs of K and P deficiency. Not giving any PK boosters, just MC 1.0 and CalMag Pro.
Buds keep getting frostier and now starting to see calyxes swell. Yummy!

Looks like they will be pretty frosty based on those sugar leaves.

i already put a few sugary leaves on my vaporizer... sweet, fruity and kindof sugary taste... pretty excited!!!
now I'm just praying bud won't fatten up much... rainy season began here and RH is climbing again!

You can use a little space heater right outside your intake it will drop it by 5-10%.

Looks like in two weeks time you'll be looking at some good candidate. I share your humidity concerns, ffiw, I had to chop down 800 wet grams of the biggest colas at 11.2 weeks because of a suddenly developing bud rot situation. I bought a 10L dehumidifier but as the temperature was already 32 outside, it was useless. But the next week the temp dropped to about 25 and he dehumidifier works. With the ambient temp and humidity at 27C and 80RH it could get it down to 30C and 60RH. I'm also using it in the drying room now with an air con. I thought it was a waste of money at first but it's brilliant for $200.
