Looking good buddy, so most of them showed sex on day 21? What lighting are you using and did you transplant at all? good work & welcome to IC

 

[Zelza]

Wow nice! I'm gett'in ready to order some auto AK's. What kind of soil you got there? and your lighting?? I'm new here and haven't grown in 5 years. Auto's are new to me. but look amazing!

Thanks for the kind words, two of them showed sex by day 19/20 when the other two on day 21.
They are under a 250w HPS in a grow box in my bedroom.
I started them in those 1 gallon pots, when I did my last run of AF plants I started them in smaller pots and transplanted etc, but found that I stunted some of them and they never fully recovered.
The soil that there in is Sunshine mix #2... I don't really hate this stuff, but it does tend to have a low ph and high ppm already fresh outta the bail so it is something I have to watch for when I apply fert and what not.

I will be using the GH lucus formula for these plants as well as some cal mag if needed.

Thanks for the compliments!

So you had them under HPS there whole life? interesting...Yeah I got 50 masterlow in 3L under 400 MH, 400 HPS, 400 HPS and around 150w of floro, but I transplated them from smaller cups because i couldnt get the : grow through : pots...yeah it definetly slows them down abit transplanting, also the tap root dictates alot of height...mine are at like day 23 half of em and only males are showing unless I cant spot the fems yet....

Nicely started Obey, I want to dabble in AK lineage. I'll be watching this thread.

Ok I take that back, I actually just checked my cab so with transplanting AND a small population of root aphids or fungus gnats one of my biggest showed to be female on exactly the 23rd day..not bad I guess

Sorry I didn't realize that I never mentioned that I had them under 2x125w 6400k CFLs for the first 2 weeks of life, I had to turn the HPS on because I have some to be mother plants that needed more light...

 

[SexInTheCity]

Ah, I see..hope you got that HPS close! ever think of verticle? theres a section about it if you havnt already checked it out....anyways hope your babies stay healthy Ill be watching...

[uptosumpn]

subscribed ! i got sum Ak.s going myself///they are at day 6

 

[obey]

Well it has been a few days since I last updated these babies, the only major change is I bought a new bulb and moved the lamp a little closers. All of them were feed for the first time the other day with a half strength lucas formula.

Here is a group shot of all 4 plants.

I would seem that I have 3 plants that have some what of a sativa look to the leaves, while the other one has a indica look.

Sativa

Indica

[Castelvetro]

how bad do they smell, im pretty stuck on some auto aks, the only proven yeilder, aside from onyx n mi 5 which both reak to all hell or so im told.

 

[obey]

Somewhat of a skunky/sweet smell when I walk into the room that the box is in. Strain definitely has an odor to it even at 28/29 days.

 

[I'm Dykster]

Nice looking grow. Yes, on the stink! I have a couple that are two weeks off from chop day. They sure are a beautiful strain. Big thick stalks, wonder stone that hits me heavy between the eyes first.
Nice beginnings my friend.
