Doc - That is an amazing job on the ladies! You may be a beginner indoors but somewhere along the the way you picked up the gift of the greenthumb. Again great job and smart choice on those $15 dollar beans!
indeed she looks deli...awsome job mate !!...and yea i kno what you mean...but patience is the key .....also when it comes 2 curing the buds right.....i swear... you gonne have more probs keep your hands off of it
So excited... This morning (day 60) I chopped down the first 2 of 6 plants and started manicuring some of them... The pictures speak for themselves...
Wall of buds... Two plants ... 6 lines of buds...
An early sample already dried for 4 days
Cola from one of the plants
Some more buds
There will be more pics as I harvest the other four plants, also I'll post yield when I figure it out. And of course in a few weeks there will be a SMOKE REPORT. I can already tell it's some super strong herb, I've been smoking some dried trim and about two hits is all I need/want for two straight hours! Thanks for checking out my plants!
Just thought I post up the final results for anyone interested...
After drying and curing for the weeks I harvest between 10 and 11 ozs.
The quality was all really good but suprisingly the green nugs had a better flavour/high than the ones that were purple but of course people are lot more excited for the purple. Definently a lazy sit on the couch stone which isn't my favourite but it's very potent. Unfortunatly for me the one plant that I didn't clone turned out to be the best so I am currently revegging that one and it just started to grow new wimpy shoots from the budsites. Anyway, 10oz for my first indoor grow, I was very satified. And now I'm a complete addict (to growing). PEACE!
OH DAMN!!!! I am SO Glad you showed up.... you really made the AK-48 shine....
I am running some trying to weed out and find a pheno..... did they stink for you in veg bad... I have a-lot of skunky undertone.... I am running Ice in the same veg room, so it could be the Ice........
would you keep any of the phenotypes you found? which one? any specific characteristics to look for??? Thanks.....
I grew AK48 myself too in 2004 using cfl, and I agree on the smoke report - a sneak preview of trim killed me, hehe and even a cigarette rolled with paper rubbed against teh growing plants left a nice buzz. Couchlock - yup, hehe.
I found the smoke to be a little harsh but with a wonderful berry/flower aftertaste that sticks to your lips with a resiny feel.
I'm still smoking buds from that grow (I don't smoke very often). Taste and potency is not the same but still up there. On the plus side the smoke is softer.
Unfortunately I also experienced hermies. I attributed it to having to turn off the lights for 23 hours because I had visitors and forgot to turn the timer back on when they left - but now that I've read some more hermie reports I'm not so sure any more - it might be a very sensitive strain.
Makes me sad as I seriously consider growing it again, this time in a SOG setup. Perhaps with good mother selection I can avoid it.
Thanks for the positive energy everyone! I'm now working on filling up a hydrohut will flood and drain tables and 2*600w lights or maybe one 600 and one 1000. Anyway, thanks to a good friend of my mine , I have a pretty diverse selection of seeds to choose from and really can't decide so any recommendations/information would be cool, here's my list...
Nirvana - White Widow
Jock Horror
Bubblicious
Four Way
Papaya
Head Seeds - Cinderella99/ECSDv3
Sensi Seeds - Ed Rosenthal Super
Sagamartha - Stonehenge
Dutch Passion - Strawberry Cough Fem.
Female Seeds - Nevilles Haze Hybrid
Reservoir - SSHaze/WilliamsWonder (Wonderhaze?)
Forget where I got these - Hashberry, True blueberry, Skunk #1
Also have mountain high mix (anyone grow these out?)
That's all I can remember without looking through the packs.
Anyway I'm leaning towards starting the Cin-Diesel (THANKS GRATEFULHEAD!) and the Ed Super Bud (just to see what all the hype is about) but let me know what you think and we'll see the results in my next thread!
