Ak47 auto.

If you are not sure better put your finger 2-3 cm into the top of the soil and feel if there is any moisture. If you can't feel it a bit humid.. time to water. I would not trust that analogue soil meter as it senses wetness by ec.. so mineralisation of the soil and water in the soil can change the value pretty much. Also, in using it for ylur plant you have 2 variants, either punch holes through the soil and roots each time you measure, which is bad for roots, or leave the apparatus in and then deposits form on the annode and it will work even less reliable over time.. if it will still work at all.
I would set that crap meter aside and just trust my eyes (looking at soil surface and plant leaves) hands (measuring pot weight if possible) or fingers (feeling the moisture as I said above). It's so easy and you will never have doubts once you get the hang of it.

So then i should water now based on the leaf droopyness or wait a lil longer. The soil doesn't feel wet or dry it feels a lil cold though.

 

[gizmo666]

[#1cheesebuds]

The AK is flowering. New light is a coming tomorrow. Also she has lost any more leaves.

So heres what i discovered with some of these auto seeds so far. I was given around 42 supposed auto seeds in total.

The AK47 auto i got isn't an auto but it is the biggest plant ive ever grown indoors. Had I known of it not being an auto in advance I would have I would have flipped to 1212 sooner.

The pixie stix IS an auto (BUT) i wasn't sure if it was an auto when i planted it. Plenty of seeds left to retry with an auto light cycle of 18/6.

The lemon IS also an auto (BUT) i wasn't sure if it was an auto when i planted it. Plenty of seeds left to retry with an auto light cycle of 18/6.

Man, if I were you, I'd be glad the Auto AK47 wasn't autoflowering. Seems like the harvest gonna put all the other autos to shame.
Looking good so far!

But don t forget it is already more time then the lifetime of an autoflower !

 

[exploziv]

Yeah man, I know! Was maybe just trying to find the good part of this story. At least he will get some bud!

 

[#1cheesebuds]

So she is still growing well as of now.

The other autos seeds from afterthought could still grow bigger next round with bigger pots and 18/6 light schedule.
Some of the other seeds they sent are photoperiod strain. Ill be planting seeds more soon.

also i have more cuttings from the AK lady. He's hopefully they're all roots well in the soil.

 

[#1cheesebuds]

Also i kept the clone i took from the AK. And she has rooted and is now flowering 1212 in my other bloom lil closet.

 

[#1cheesebuds]

Update. On January 9th 2022 will be 11 weeks of 1212 which started on oct 5th 2021. I don't know if ill let it go that long. Ill keep my eye on the trich color.

You should admit that you never read the full thread to write such an answer.

Good luck with that fiasco auto #1cheesebuds .

It seems that FAST-BUDS has won the buds race since a while.

The_Skunkist i was just trying to be helpful with some words of encouragement.

So heres whats going on with the seeds i was sent from Afterhought a few months back. I was given around 42 supposed auto seeds in total.

I discovered that some of these seeds are auto strains and others are photopetiod strains. Ill be planting more seeds after my two current grow spots are finished.

The AK47 auto i got isn't an auto but it is the biggest plant ive ever grown indoors. Had I known of it not being an auto in advance I would have I would have flipped to 1212 way sooner. And then it might be done by now Instead of in January.

The pixie stix IS an auto (BUT) i wasn't sure if it was an auto when i planted one of the seeds. I have plenty of both the auto and photo seeds left to retry.

update for the AK47. The flowers seem to be not growing as much as I was hoping something must be going on. Maybe I need to do a plain water flush. I've been letting the soil dry out before watering.

Nice grow #1cheesebuds.

 

[#1cheesebuds]

I guess i burnt this AK And I don't know if it's salvageable AT ALL.
I don't know how long this strain is supposed to flower for but i was planing on flowering her to week 10 or 11.

I've never had any problems using this brand of fertalizer before on any of my other plants. Ive used it for several years now.

I've been feeding it half the strength it suggested on the fertalizer bottle. Because I was afraid I would burn the plant. But it looks like it happened anyway. The bottle says to feed with every water so I did.

So anyway, can this be saved at all?
What if I just give her plain water from here on out or I could give it plain water but with adding the Cal-Mag plus. Or keep flushing for a few more weeks and then start the Bloom food back again.

Another problem is that I should have switched 1212 much sooner so the plant would have started flowering sooner and be done by now with big flowers.

Every time I go up to look at the plant it does have a good smell still. Also I just fed it a little bit more food the other day. Some of the birds have new hairs growing out of them.

Also what about trimming off the dieing leaves and leaving the healthy ones on the plant.

The lights are at least a 13 away from the flowers. And it doesn't feel too hot under the lights.
