Hey b00m!!! very nice to hear from you bro!! Man, I thought you were close to the flooding...hope all is well and thank you very much!! hopefully I am killing it the right way..lol...
Thanks hazydreams!! You are doing an awesome job yourself!!!
Hey cheese!! Thanks bro! Those buds are getting thicker by the day:)
There is a link below showing the soilless "soil" I use..its perfectly ph balanced so all you need to do is add water/nutes and a plant and your good to go..I still use a ph meter..just in case...lol...
Today is day 24 of bloom and overnight she has fattened up:) I notice because I stare at her everyday:watchplant:..lol...
I am also going water one day and nutes the next just for this week...she has'nt evn shown burnt leaf tips yet....
here are some more pics for your viewing pleasure:tiphat:

I misjudged by a little seeing as part of the bud is below the screen in this pic above:comfort: I only have 8 inches between the buds and the HPS as it is...

This is the lady I wanted...lol..this is the Sharksbreath..its half Great White Shark and half Jamaican Lambsbread...see the sativa in the leafs though?? This should be a fun plant to grow:jump:
Thanks again everyone and I appreciate your help/feedback:)
thanks

You are truly an inspiration BC...

I am amazed with the coverage of just one plant, would you recommend it over having multiple smaller plants?

Looking good BC as always!!!
I know what you mean by staring at your plants every day lol every time I wake up I go say good morning.
How big is that trunk it looks fat?

Thank you AsbestosToast!! my plants get so much coverage( I think?) is that while I'm doing 1 grow, I am vegging another so this AK vegged for 3 months before I got her in!! The first TW I grew in here was straight from seed so she vegged for 25 days before I flipped...so in answer to your question, it would depend on your growing style/method...more plants means you would'nt have to veg at all since they all would still grow in bloom and make your screen happy!! lol..
thanks GrowBox420!!! The stem? its as round as bic lighter....talking to plants really does help them grow better..they are living just like us so a litlle love their way is always good!!!
My camera batteries are a chargin so I will be back ASAP with some pics!!
thanks again

Thanks for all your good vibes my friend, yes all the flooding is just off the scale, so many lives lost, I was lucky cause my family members(who live there) were able to get right outta the way of the onslaught of flood waters, lots of other people were not so lucky, I feel very heartbroken about the people that bought houses/housing in the flood plains, capitalism at it's worse, "Yeah let's build there it hasn't flooded in 30 yrs we'll be right mate, we won't be living there" stupid fucking developers and local council idiots have a lot to answer for.
Sorry rant over.

That is absolutely horrible b00m...we get the shaft while people get rich...
to think an entire city had to be evacuated blows my mind...
It can only get better....
hey Disco!!
hello everyone:wave:
Time for more pics...lol...
today is day 25 of bloom, she just was fed too... 2;itres of water/nutes and barely any comes out the bottom....next watering, I will flush her out a little..

all those leaves are covering up with crystals very fast...
AK48's parents are Ice and Jock Horror if anyone wants to know...

here is another pic of the Sharksbreath who will now get my full attention..I notice if I have too many plants going at the same time, one always gets neglected:comfort:
well, I guess thats all I have for an update today other than the smell of this AK48 has turned from straight skunk to a skunk/pine smell..really nice:)
Thanks again everyone and I look forward to hearing from you again

Looking spot on as usual BC!

Is it easy enough to fit your style of carbon filter to a PC fan do you think? It would have to be fan then filter (pushing). It's a nice strong fan. It's just there's a definite whiff when I go up into my loft despite a 2 inch layer of carbon the air gets pulled through.

Woot, looking good BC! Got some more questions for you. How big is the potting container you are using? Also, are you still using the Dayton axial fan and if you are is it pretty quiet?

Hey thanks Strangely!! I pm'd you in answer to your question bro...
Thank you Wookieefoot!!! The container is a 3 gallon , or 12 or so litre, plastic container you find at Wal-Mart where they sell those Rubbermaid containers..or close by anyways..its the third time I've used it with no problems..I even used the lid , with pieces cut out for water to flow, as a trap for any runoff...I have'nt gotten the dayton yet but the 1 I am still using,( after 10 months of continuous use!!)is a Nidec pc fan!! 12 volt to boot!! Its very strong though..its 3amps, 251 cfm but with a 51 db which means its loud! but with the scrubber, you can barely hear it so the scrubber always stays on!! Hope this helps..
Hey everyone:tiphat:
Time for an update on day 27 of bloom...I had been feeding her every second day with full doses since this was the most crucial week and she hasn't shown any signs of burn at all..lol...this plant can handle any dose you give it:wave:
here are some pics for your viewing pleasure:)

its like 1 giant bud in there now:rtfo::party:lol...
picture.php

I feel bad for those buds that are getting burnt but there's nothing left for me to try...the screen is way above where I planned the cab..could be worse:)

and this is the Sharksbreath...The ProMix I use is just perlite, vermiculite and peat...all equal parts..with good bacteria thrown in:wave:
This AK48 still has 33 days to go normally or 21 if the whole done in 48 day thing is correct...maybe it is, but there is no way she's going to be done that soon...either way, it looks like these buds are going to be huge compared to the TW...
I'm looking forward to your feedback/help as always:)
Thanks
what do you all think???

So you dont have to follow the feeding plan on the back of bottle excatly?
Those nugs look nice as always BC where do you get your strains from?
Thanks BC

Thanks for the reply, BC. She's looking great. Hoping for a bigger yield than the TW?! Can't wait to see your Sharksbreath.

thanks GrowBox420!! always start small with nutes..its like adding too much salt to a meal..once its in, you can't take it out...
