[FiveToMidnight]

Hey guys,

Back again with another couple of plants in my Auto garden.

Details:
What strain is it? Vision Seeds - AK49 Auto + Royal Queen Seeds - Bubble Kush Auto Both seeds have come from plants I grew previously that hermied.
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? Both Hybrid
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? Seedling
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor
Soil or Hydro? 75% Coco/25% Perlite
Size of light? 6x CFL's + 2x Mars ProII Epistar 160's
Is it aircooled? 6" Inline Duct Fan + 6" Carbon Filter
Temp of Room/cab? Between 20-30 Celcius (Depending on season)
RH of Room/cab? Between 30%-75%
How often are you watering? Every 2-3 days as seedlings moving up to daily as age progresses
Type and strength of ferts used? Canna Coco A+B + Silica + Seasol+Cannazym+PK 13/14+Sensi Bio Diesel+AN Bud Candy


I'm using my tried and tested nutrient schedule as below but will be adding Advanced Nutrients - Bud Candy to the mix to see if I can improve the taste. I've also started adding CalMag periodically as it seems to improve their health quite a bit.

Day 1 to Day 14/Week 1 - 2
Canna Coco A & B 0.5 ml per liter if using Worm Casting at 50% or 1 ml per liter if using WC @ 30% or less
Seasol 4ml per liter
Silica 0.25ml per liter
Total E.C. approx 0.4 to 0.7

Day 14 to Day 28/Week 3-4
Canna Coco A & B 1.5 to 2 ml per liter
Seasol 4ml per liter
Cannazym 2.5 ml per liter
Silica 0.5ml per liter
Total E.C. approx 1.0 to 1.3

Day 28 to DAY 35/Week 5
Canna Coco A & B 2.0 to 2.5 ml per liter
Seasol 4 ml per liter
Cannazym 2.5 ml per liter
PK 13/14 1.5 ml per liter (Not recommended to use this for more than 1 week)
Boost 2.0 to 2.5 ml per liter
Silica 1ml per liter
Total E.C. approx 1.8

Day 35 to Day 53/Week 6-7.5
Canna Coco A & B 2.0 to 2.5 ml per liter
Seasol 2 ml per liter
Cannazym 2.5 ml per liter
Boost 3 to 4 ml per liter
Silica 1ml per liter
Total E.C. approx 1.5

Day 53 to Day 60/Week 8.5-9.5
Cannazym 2.5 ml per liter
Total E.C approx 0.2



Seeds started off well and have started to flourish nicely.
I decided to use some more seeds that I got from some hermied plants in a previous grow as they are strong seeds. So will be good to see how this batch turns out.
I've decided to try adding some Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy to the mix so I'm expecting some nicer flavours at harvest time.

Another difference is I've decided to add in a Soil pot as I had some left over stuff used for other plants and only had enough coco for two pots. I'm not expecting too much from this as the soil isn't anything special but it will go in the grow tent with the others and we'll see what happens.
I actually put two seeds in this pot cause I wasn't sure if they would pop, but turns out both did lol. So I will have to pull one out, I'm just waiting to see which one is the stronger starter.

Otherwise there isn't too much to tell but I'll try and keep updates coming as often as possible.

Here are some pictures from my last grow which I never did a journal for.
The strains were AK49 & Bubble Kush, the same as this round, but these plants were neglected and beaten to hell for the first half of their life. Because they were sitting behind larger plants, I often forgot they were there and therefore neglected to water/feed them as much as they would have liked. They also got knocked over a couple of times, had branches broken and taped back up and also had the stems split a couple of times due to some accidents in the tent.
In the end, I still managed to yield 6.3 Ounces from the AK49 and the bud is very high quality. Most are very dense and all are sticky as hell with a beautiful fruity aroma. The high is very strong, uplifting and puts one in a happy relaxed mood.
The Bubble Kush only yielded 2.5 ounces due to being so much smaller but it also has nice, dense buds with a good strong indica high. Much more couchlocky than the AK49, but has that distinct Kush smell and taste.
All over, I'm really happy with the results considering the poor treatment for the first half of their lives and thought I would share some pics so you can see how they turned out.

Update:

Girls are going strong and have a lot more growth than I have seen at this point on previous grows. I have fed a little more often from week 1 than I have previously and haven't let the coco dry out as much, seems like it is a good thing.

I will be topping either tomorrow or Saturday as they are 19 days old tomorrow and already have their 5th node, but otherwise no other news.

Update:

All the girls are doing well so far and are looking really happy. All have been topped, but the two Coco girls have had a bunch of LST which has made them go crazy, particularly AK49.
The Bubble Kush in Soil is about 4 weeks old now and a lot smaller than the others, which is to be expected, but still doing really well. I've given her a couple of feeds of Seasol and GH 3-Part mix which she seems to be liking. I will do some LST as she gets a little bigger but I don't expect it will be much.

Our other two are about 6 weeks old now and really thriving. I can see they are starting to stretch, so I'm hoping to see them grow quite a bit larger over the coming week or so. Here's hoping anyway lol

I have added the second LED now which should give the girls a lot more room to spread out and get all the light they could want. Otherwise, all is good and happy

Update:

The girls are looking amazing and just starting to have flowers turn in to buds
AK49 is like a forest and I find I'm cutting out a good two handfuls or more of leaves every 2-3 days to try and keep her from going too nuts. This is a good thing though, she is really thriving and I can't wait to see the buds she produces.

Bubble Kush has grown insanely tall! I'm not sure what made her stretch so much as the lights were only around 20" away when stretch started. She seems to be liking it though as every time I moved the lights away she stretched more, so I just let her go. She is showing very mild signs of heat stress on the very top leaves but other than that she is happy as Larry.

The Bubble Kush in soil is another story unfortunately. She hasn't grown too much at all and is showing large signs of calmag deficiency. I am topping her up but I'm not sure how well she will do. She seems to have some decent sized flowers, so it will be interesting to see the kinds of buds she will produce, but I'm not expecting too much.

All in all, things are pretty good so hopefully all stays on track.

Update:

The girls are budding up really nicely and looking like they are almost finished. Bubble Kush looks like she is a week or two ahead of the AK49 which is a bit annoying as I prefer to harvest everything at the same time, but can't control these things.

I have taken some Trich pics for you guys to check out and I'd really appreciate any opinions on how long you think they have to go.
I'm thinking Bubble Kush has another week or two before 7 days of flush and AK49 probably has another 2-3 weeks before flush. But I'd really love your opinions on this as I'm always a little unsure of myself at this stage.

The Bubble Kush in soil seems to be doing ok, a few yellow leaves and not the largest yield but the buds seem dense and have an awesome smell to them. I think she also has another 2-3 weeks before flush but let me know what you guys think!
