Despite many saying Lowlife seeds being copy-cats in the past, i wanted to grow their auto AK and blueberry. I received the AK last week and i am still waiting for the blueberry.
I got the Lowlife from DrChronic seed bank. There are other places to find auto seeds too, just google and search.
I've done LR#2 and got good results with it, so i wanted to try the bigger yielding AK and also a better tasting blueberry.
a few facts i found after growing LR#2:
They will mature faster if lights are on 12/12. I had a few plants growing under 12/12 regime, and they matured at 8 weeks from seed, a week faster than stated by the breeder. Using this light regime, yield was affected too. I yielded only 10 grams each plant, and they were grown under 400 watt HPS.
I used colloidal silver on 4 females. The balls really showed up on sites that were sprayed with colloidal silver. I sprayed the lower branch, from week 3 to week 5. The balls showed up on week 6. But only 1 plant had pollen, and it had very little pollen. I tried to pollenate using the feminized pollen, and got a few seeds. The seeds are still developing now. They should be ready in a couple more weeks
I also used this feminized pollen to pollenate Morning Glory, Mental Floss and CHeese. Not sure what's gonna happen, but hopefully some autos in the future crosses of them.
...after 68 hours in the wet paper towel, 8 germed, but only 5 grew. So this germination process wasnt as successful as my previous grows. Shit....didnt know these autos had germ problems...
I used the same method to germ many strains(NL x BB, Mental Floss, SSH, BB Cheese, Satori, Morning Glory, LR#2, Alegria, Vortex,...) and all had 100% germ rate, except Pot of Gold which germed 9 out of 10, but only 6 grew to big trees.
my 15 auto mixed seeds from lowlife had 100% germ and 9f/6m ratio. i used paper towel method in a nice dark warm spot. give em some time they'll come through.
nice cana, did you get any special fems from the mix??? I wanted to get that, but i already knocked up my Mental Floss, Cheese and Morning Glory with the LR#2 Feminized pollen, so i think i will just work on these 3 new cross and see if i can get them to auto in a few generations down the line.
No problem with the germ rate of AK being so low, probably just bad luck....
i will make more seeds and will have more of them in a few months(all feminized hehe~
mental floss and cheese hybrids sound great!
i got quite the variety in the mixed pack ranging from a 15g 11 incher, a 25g 13 incher, two fat twins up to a nice 54g 31" lady. i got a diary on here if you search if you check in my threads.
I think the biggest lady had lowlife's ak genes though so I'm excited at what you can do with all those ak47 seeds. i've seen some other lowlife auto ak47 logs and they are some impressive plants.
