AK48 - 250W - First Grow

Excuse the bad focus on the pics. But I would have said that I harvested about a week or 2 early, even though the budds look lovely.

If you look at the second post, its hard to see really, but the first big budd pic, it looks solid and rock like, and was def ready, and the second big budd pic, there are still whispy hairs sticking out of the budds and could have done with longer.

In about 3 weeks (including drying), you will be smoking some gorgeous, tasty, clean budd, enjoy it, There is something very special about losing your harvest virginity

I know what you are saying, despite my best efforts she is still with me. Seems like a great strain to learn with.

hey chris, plants looks great so far but i agree with waiting a few more weeks, she should pack on a lot more weight and resin, patience is the key to pristine buds ill stick around to see how she goes, nice work tho!! sub'd

Gave a big flush today. What do you guys think on the ETA?

it looks good, you could chop now or wait another week, i noticed leaves burning, has the burn been increasing in the past few days? and reaching the buds? if so chop now , or you'll be smoking burned buds, which happened to me once, the burns when reaching the buds the trychroms will be damaged you'll get high but the smoke will be harsh ,

plant looks nice
good job done
next time you'll do better, or you can hydro

Looks awesome man! Congrats on your first grow!

I would probably chop soon, maybe in a day or two. Remember to chop at the base and set in a vase full of clean water for 10-24 hrs. This will let your plant soak up some water and kinda "dilute" the nutrient build up.

It looks like you had root problems, maybe caused by acidity or nutrient lockout? GL on your next grow, you will improve tenfold.

I agree with the few people above. in a few days chop. one thing to take into consideration is that when you cut your plant and chop her all up, the branches you cut to dry are still finishing up even though they are detached from the plant. I think it stays aliv efor up to three days. I'm sure it won't make a huge difference in your plant, but if you are really worried you want to go longer, remember that because some plants smokes do better when you chop earlier.

It's nothing major, just a piece of information to hold onto.

I think I'm going to chop the side ones that look ripper tomorrow and the rest on Friday/Sat. Thanks for all the input guys.

welcome

so any
Pics??

wet , dry weight !!

She has been in the dark for 24 hours, I'm going to actually chop her after ~48 dark and let her hang for a bit. I'll get some pics up in a couple days.

She has been in the dark for 48hours then chopped. 53 days of 12:12 and she smells great. I topped so there is 2 main colas and a couple sides. I'll have weights in a week or so.

Final weight ~21.6g, they seem to be a little too ripe, should have chopped a couple days earlier. Learned a lot hope to show it on the next grow. What's the most forgiving between Trainwreck, A-Train, Burmese Kush, White Castle, Sage 'n' Sour, or Mazar. Thanks guys.

21.6 enjoy it all, by the way hows the potency ?

well if was you , i won't look for most forgiving i'll look for the fattest buds , cuz you have experience now , get HID and bigger bucket, or hydro , yes you can


congrats!
