So the almost final weight is in. I have 12 ounces in Jars to cure and 3/4 ounce in my jar for smoking on now. Overall i think i've pulled about 16ish ounces as i've already smoked 3 whole plants from the grow. Didnt think it'd be as much as i usually calculate i'll lose 80% weight but with these babies the stems are not weighing much at all. Each ounce in jars might lose another gram over the next week but i am not bothered by that in the slightest. I am really looking forward to the cured smoke from these ak's.
I left em in the tent up the loft but i diverted the flow of air from the veg tent into the flower tent and stuck a 3kw heater in it's airflow. it kept the temp just floating around the 20c mark. I didn't take any pics of them hanging but i'll make up for it later with some jar shots.
So outa this grow, i started this diary with 4 stunted auto's and 10 ak's. i was out of smoke at the time so the 4 stunted all got chopped as early as i could and it took me to having about 7 ak's left before what was getting chopped down actually made it to jars before being smoked.
Only problem with the grow was the temps, but lesson learned and if growing in loft then it's a case of lights on 24/0 during the coldest parts of winter.
Highlight of the grow was the Stringy Sativa. Smoke from that is unbelievable. it's a chest tightener, a cheek lifter, a forehead shrinker and a ton weight added onto your arse and legs. It's also a creeper so be prepared for it just to came back and dropped ye on yer arse again after about 20 minutes. The taste is phenomenal, a real hazy taste that gives you that amazing aftertaste that just makes ye want more. The calyxes didn't shrink that much during drying and when you crush one it explodes into a lovely grainy cottony fluff perfect for rolling with. Theres a knack to stripping them all off the stringy stem in one swipe. It only takes half a dozen calyxes to be able to roll the preferred Canadian pinner for the wife. I prefer a 1 gram 3 skinner cone but thats me
It's everything i've ever wanted in a smoke. Prolly the strongest smoke from an auto i've had yet, maybe on par with a freak snowryder. Shame i didn't get to pollinate. I dunno if AK47 has any haze in it's genetics but this is totally reminiscent of a good old amsterdam purple haze thats been grown for 14-16 weeks. That sativa gave about 2 ounces with some sticks, theres an ounce with some sticks left in a jar, thats going by, gonna have to put a padlock on it and it will come out for special occasions or when i'm out of weed again, whatever comes sooner.
My dial-a-bud guy popped round for social visit and a joint or 2. He tasted the sativa but he's a kush or cheese man and it totally and instantly knocked his socks off :smokebuds: "any for sale" was answered with "you wish, money can't buy this shit!"
