Indoor Five Grows More Autos - AK49 Auto + Super Skunk Auto - Coco/Perlite - CFL&LED

[FiveToMidnight]

Update:

8 weeks old now and lots of growth has happened since last update. Super Skunk is budding up nicely now and I'm thinking it should still have a couple more weeks. Need to take some trich shots to confirm though.
One thing that's weird though is one of the buds looks heaps different to the rest. It doesn't have all the white and orange pistils that all the others have. It's kinda hard to explain but see the pics below and tell me what you think.
Other than that she is looking really nice.

The AK49 is also starting to flower nicely. It has a slightly longer grow period than the SS so it is slightly behind in flowering, however she is tall and has lots of tops. She has had a minor tragedy though. While moving things around I accedently bent one of the main branches down and split it in the middle. I immediately applied aluminium tape to the wound as best I could and hoped for the best. That was a few days ago now and she doesn't appear to be showing any real signs of stress. I'm still seeing growth on the main branches and they're still standing tall, so really hoping she will be ok.


Let me know what you think guys!

See what I mean with this? What's the go?

These look nice though

Update:

10 Weeks old now and still going strong. Super Skunk is about 2 weeks away from harvest in my opinion but could be 3. AK49 is starting to flower nicely and is looking like she will give a good yield. She didn't seem phased from the damage I did to her which is good so looking forward to seeing what she produces.

Took some trich shots of the Super Skunk so let me know what you guys think in relation to time until flush!

Update:

Still all good in the hood, not really too much to tell. Looks like the AK49 has finished stretching and is starting to bud up nicely. Super Skunk is still fattening up which is good to see but I'll post some trich pics in the next couple of days so we can see how far away she is.

Also forgot to mention, however you may have noticed, I have added a CO2 bag as I have heard nothing but good things about them. Not really sure how to tell when it is working as the instructions don't say but hoping to see some positive results soon.

Update:

Thought I'd put up some more pictures as the AK49 has gone insane! Biggest plant I've ever grown and I'm hoping the biggest harvest too. I've pulled the branches apart as much as I can and removed a whole bunch of leaves, so hoping the light can get all the way through and really fill up with buds.

Snapped some trich shots of the Super Skunk too, looks like it's about a week or so away from flushing but really want to have your guys input on this one as I'm still not confident here.

Update:

Our Super Skunk is ripening up nicely now as most of the pistils have turned a nice amber colour and trichs appear to be cloudy now. I'm thinking of starting flush soon but will wait and see how she goes.
AK49 is still going nuts. Heaps of bud growth over the past few days and looks like the stems should fill up nicely. Not too much to tell otherwise but all is good

These last two are trich pics from the weird looking buds.

Update:

I think I'm going to start flushing the Super Skunk tonight ready for Harvest next Sunday, but would love to have some input on what you guys think.
I'm going for more of a heady stone rather than body and have been advised to look for about 20% amber trichs to start flushing. I'm pretty sure I see that now but always love others opinions!!

Update:

It's been a while since my last post as I have been looking for a new place to live and haven't had the time I would like to be here, so I must apologise.

However, I have since harvested the Super Skunk and am currently enjoying it's rewards. Turned out to be 137.2 grams all up which I'm pretty happy with, but that is including the foxtailed buds, which turned out to be about 30% of the overall haul. Seems to smoke just as well though but not as nice tasting. So I've decided to mix it with the good bud and there is none the wiser lol. As long as I get high I'm happy.

I think it was harvested a bit early to be honest as the trichs didn't amber up as much as I thought they would during the flush. So in hindsight, 1-2 more weeks would be more ideal.

Update:

AK49 still doing nicely. She is 14 weeks old now which is a little concerning due to being advertised at 10 weeks, but I know you can't hold that as gospel. The main reason I'm a little concerned is that it looks like she still has another 3-5 weeks until harvest which would make her 19-20 weeks old which is double what she is meant to be. I don't mind if the everything turns out well, just want to make sure there isn't something wrong.
It may just be due to being under white CFL's until she was 5 weeks old which may have been too long. If that's the case it shouldn't be too bad but I guess we will see.

Either way check out the pics and let me know what you think!
