this is probably gonna be my last autoflowering grow as i wanna move onto other things

ive been asked to do a test grow of an unreleased auto strain but soon to be released which goes by the name td (insert your own name here)

all i can say about this auto is its 60% sativa and 40% indica so im expecting big things from this grow (nothing new there )

ive been told it should take 75 days from seed to harvest and they are claiming that that this will be their flaghsip auto ( i think the auto mazar will take some beating)

more info should hopefully be relesed as this diary progresses

3 seeds have gone into soak

Say it isn't so ?

But yeah there are so many strains to grow and so little time and space.

Goodluck.

looking good mate, G'Luck with these!

always nice to have a seasoned grower on board incase i get into any difficulties ;)

100% germination on these ladies so im well happy about that

all 3 are now in their final homes, their being fed on formulex @ .8ec and ph 5.8 ish

im starting these girls off under the 1 watt panel and then ill fire up the 3 watt panel later in the grow, im tempted to grow these under the full 600 watts but thats ages away :)

day 8 from seed

all buckets are on 1.0 ec and ph 5.8, had a bit of a fuk up with the ph and it was way out of line for a couple of days but i think ive managed to catch it in time, only 1 plant is showing signs of ph discomfort so all is good

all 3 ladies now have their roots in the res

here is some info on the strain

AK420 is a carefully selected, potent and heavy yielding AK47 hybrid and this proved to be a perfect fit. Think Different is 60% Sativa, 20% Indica and 20% Ruderalis, it is a real heavy yielder with 250-300 gram yields seen occasionally with plants grown under good sunny conditions outdoors or in greenhouses. Indoors 500grams/m² is typical, remarkable for an auto variety. Potency is indistinguishable from the best traditional weed, ‘Think Different’ really is that good. She grows to 1-1.5metres tall and is a faster production method than growing from clones. In terms of production and potency this strain is hard to beat. Anyone who is still reluctant to try growing auto varieties based on some of the early issues needs to think again, and perhaps to think different themselves. Any serious grower needs to try growing a few seeds of ‘Think Different’, she grows easily and takes just 9 weeks

lets see what happens ;)

day 11 from seed

all the girls had a fresh resh change yesterday and are currently on 1.2 ec and ph 5.8, had some problems with my ph being out of range but managed to catch it before it got outta hand, 1 of the plants shows a bit of a disliking to this and has got rusty leaves but the first sets of leaves will never last so its a good indicator that i was doing something wrong ;)

currently feeding on formulex and rhizotonic, next res change ill switch to full veg nutes as im just trying to break them in gently

apart from the amateur mistake by me with the ph outta range (lol) they aint doing to bad

yep, the ph was to low at 5.3 which is outta range for dwc it really needs to be 5.5 - 6.1, if the plants are outta range your always gonna get a deficenecy

cheers for the advice but ive got it back in order now 100% growers error on my behalf, cannabis plants can take some abuse and still produce the goods

i had it early on with my pineapple express grow

and she still finished up really well

day 14 from seed

all the buckets have now been switched over to canna aqua vega on .8 ec and ph 5.8, all plants have made an excellent recovery from the ph imbalance and i knew they would ;)

just waiting for all 3 plants to show sex but im not sure when this is supposed to happen with this strain

getting a nice smell of canna coming from the grow room and anybody who has grown ak47 will know that this strain is a stinker in flower

ive bought some silica that im gonna be running in this grow just to see what happens

2 of the plants are showing indy leaves while the other is showing a nice 6 fingered sativa leaves
