- Thread starter hempfield
- Start date
really cool update hempfield
glad you have them dialed in!
I am stringing my scrog tonight and can't wait to get some ladies under it

Since I stopped using Rhizotonic (as the reservoirs are already filled with white roots) the pH is stable then ever. 3 days without pH adjustment and not a slight variation of it. The EC increased a little but this is normal as the girls drink so much water due the low relative humidity on the grow room.
They looks healthier than ever !
L.E. I must remember to take some clones from both plants, in case one of them proves to be a keeper.

For my tank I just use a 5 gallon bucket to keep the nutrients fresh. I was about to add some boost to the tank, but realized it says you can foliar feed. So I have been doing that with a little bit of the rhizo and other things I have laying around. Better than using it in your tank and having it turn to crap in a few days. so just coco a/b and cannazym. I'll upgrade the tank size, or add a second 5 gallon bucket to the manifold, as the plants get larger and suck down the water.
I've never checked my tank, but how is your EC changing from the plant use? the tank only empties, it has no real connection to the plants other than draining onto them.
not sure what my EC is, but my ppm is from 750-1000 when full strength.
its funny cause were doing a lot of the same stuff, nutrients, blumat, led, I even left my kill-a-watt in so I could get the exact amount of electricity it takes. I have a spreadsheet that calculates the cost of nutrients and I'd like to be able to figure the electricity costs as well. Then I'm also going to figure how much the coco itself costs (going to reuse it).... basically I'd like to get all my costs down.
If you want a copy of the spreadsheet let me know, its set up for Canna (but the headers could be changed). you enter the price you pay for your nutrients and size container on one page, then keep track of how much water/nutrients you use and when it's all done, put in your harvest weight and it spits out your $/oz and $/g. It also keeps a running cost of your cost/gallon of nutrients.

Cool update hemp, can't wait to see some big buds...
Keep up the good work !
Peace, HJ.

looks great man. mine came in and they are bright as hell. the plants responded well from the transition over from hps to LED. they were under a 300w hps bare bulb and now they are under 2 175 actual watt panels. i dont mean to bombard you with a bunch of my pics but i figured it would be cool since they are AK47 as well 
you are gonna have you hands full with those monsters. have you run this cut before or is it from seed? mine are FMS and they have almost no stretch at all. perfect for an LED grow. small bushy, branchy and manageable . good luck.

hoping to be impressed by the leds!

They are both from seed, germinated last year in October. The stretch is minimal, without elongated stalks at all. This week Mazar grew almost 10cm (4") and AK47 ~8cm (3"), but let see what the next to weeks reserves to us.
It's the first time I run this setup (with additional LED bars) and I hope the girls will grow just below the lights and they will put some heavy flowers on.
AK47 is for sure a good candidate for micro-grows, as she don't grow like a monster and you can train her to desired shape. Mazar, in the other hands, is like o horde of wild rabbits: train a branch here and other 10 will bounce back or spread in different direction. She is very crowded and I must do some pruning on her this days.
I don't know why but this girls do not smell as expected. I felt much stronger fragrance on the early days of vegging, but I think the smell will come back when the growth stops and the flowers start to form.
For the moment I noticed just some tiny pistils on some pre-flowers on Mazar, but nothing yet on AK47.
Welcome abroad ! I was impressed by them long time ago. It was love at first sight ! Hopefully you will became a believer too !

Yesterday morning I took some pictures of girls on their 5th day of flowering. The growth is impressive, maybe almost chaotic on the case of Mazar and is so damn hard to keep it under control. I had to remove a small bag of leaves from under the screen (they started to die already because the lack of light) and I also took some clones (cutting the smaller branches which will wont be able to make it to the top).
The AK47 is amazing ! She grows so nice and it's a pleasure to watch her transforming into an adult plant. I hope she will produce nice flowers and massive baseball bat colas
Here are 3 pictures from yesterday :

Day 7
Day 7
This girls are extremely thirsty ! Mazar have surprised me by almost emptying her reservoir in less than tow days. Her record is 7 liters of water in 24 hours !
I did a lot of pruning under the screens and I had to remove another bag of old leaves and under developed branches. I also took some clones from both plants, as I want to do some experiments with Colloidal Silver .
Today I switched on the RED LEDs (total power consumption of the grow room : 433W) and just 30 minutes later the plants respond by throwing their leaves up in the air. The temperature is max 25-25.5C and the humidity 35%.
Here are some pictures with the girl on their 7th day of flowering :

The girls are now in Day 13 and everything seems to be ok with them. I refilled the reservoirs with 5 liters each , bumping up a bit the EC to help the insane growth that I see day by day.
Mazar is not a good candidate for small grows with SCROG as she tends to overgrow and to became to crowded. Hers tallest branch grew ~30cm(1 foot) since I flipped her and the stem is almost 9mm thick.
The preflowers have long pistils, but the calyxes are tiny for the moment.
AK47 grows very nice, having equal tops (I count around 30) and she has preflowers also on each internode. Her pistils are very funny, because they are curly, but they heads up evenly.

My AK is such an easy plant to work with. i love it. there isnt much out here that can compete with it in any way. bag appeal is great and it stinks soooo bad. mine has a coffee, cheese, skunky smell thats funky and nasty in such a good way.
great work hempfield... the way is long but full full full of product 
Day 14
I have a terrible flu that kept me in bed for the last 24 hours and I didn't had time for the weekly update (and I couldn't check the girls also - hopping that they are fine).
As I remember from Sunday night, buds are starting to form on both plants.
They drink a lot, I have to top of the reservoirs daily or else the EC increases to much (and I don't want to let it exceed 2000uS), especially on Mazar.
As I said previously, Mazar is not a plant to grow in SCROG as she tend to became to crowded , and the tops have different lengths.
In the opposite corner, AK47 seems perfect for this kind of grow, as all tops have the same height and there is no under canopy growth.
Here are the girls on their 14 day of flowering :
