Indoor Auto AK Grow

[El Kabong]

Hairy, I have a 4X4X6 tent and I have 4 AK Autos and 2 SLH going right Now. The Super Lemon haze are supposed to be monsters. I wasn't counting on the AKs getting so big. I couldn't find any info on line how big that they got. I was thinking more like a lowryder size for them. Live and learn. I think Santa needs to bring me another tent. LOL!

Yeah I think Santa will do a roaring trade in bigger tents this year, and who says autos are tiny and not worth the effort, looking at my tent bursting at the seems with buds I cant see myself ever moving away from them. Two plants in my tent (well bigger one coming after this grow) is plenty enough to last till the next crop the way things are looking at the moment. Im growing in a Wilma 4 pot regular size, I dont think I could realistically get 4 plants in there the way this current grow has gone.
I suppose Im not giving myself much margin for error by only having 2 plants so I just have to be careful with what i am doing.

I will get some more photos up in a couple of days, the ladies seem to be drinking about 4l of water a day at present and the Supersonic is really catching up with the AK, in fact I can see the Supersonic finishing before the AK at this rate but without as much yield.

Flowering Day 33 (Day 46 since going in tent, 48 days from seed)

Well here we are at flowering day 33 for the Auto AK from G13, I have a couple curly leaf tips (photos 3 and 4 are clearest), just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on those or should I not worry about them as its only a few.
Have a look at the wide shot should I be looking to trim any of the stuff lower down to clear it out will it significantly improve yield on the bigger buds?



The Supersonic Cristal Storm now worthy of a mention is on Day 31 and I think judging by the way things are going it will finish well before the Auto AK. A few of the Pistils are turning brown. I just want her to beat Santa so she is ready before Christmas

Thanks MrNiceSmoke,

At one point in the grow I was getting worried the AK would be too big for tent, just waiting for her to fill up those buds now, shes only going to get fatter from what I can tell, there are a few signs that some of the buds are starting to fatten but not many, I can see her going for a few more weeks yet.

I will probably leave the little branches for now then, as its my first ever grow I want to see what size the if any the little side shoots will give me.

I can see one issue I am going to have, being a noob grower I tried 2 different strains (AK and Supersonic Cristal Storm) and of course it now appears they are going to be ready at different times, I am running in a Wilma and one will need flushing before the other, I was thinking I could put a separate container in the tank with plain water to start the flushing process on the Supersonic but I only have 1 air pump for the main tank, will it matter too much for flushing if I dont have an air pump for the Supersonic?

 

[MrN]

sorry bro,i have no idea what a Wilma is.as far as the air pump,can you get a splitter and split it so you have two air hoses?

Wilma is a hydroponics dripper grow system http://www.atami.com/?pid=59&prid=180. A good system in my opinion based I what I have at the moment although I dont really any prior experience with anything else. I think I will pop down the pet store and see what they have with regards to a splitter and air stone or something, or I will just shut my wife in the tent with a straw!
