Currently waiting on 2 ak 48s, 1 La diva and 1 titan. Ill be growing in my closet thats about 6 feet across
and 8 feet high. Im using a 400w hps, in 3 gallon pots and one 2 gallon. This journal will start from germination. Will be using fox farm ocean forest soil and part perlite. look forward to a thread following late.:o

"Small" was what I thought too but my LA Diva freebie from Attitude turned into quite a plant for an "auto". Here is mine at 68 days from seed....37" tall and 30" wide. I think Noble is doing the right thing with only 3 plants in a 6' wide space. 2 of these "Divas" would have filled up my 4" wide tent. I do LED's however in 2g hempy buckets w/coco & Lucas formula nutes. This passive hydro is explosive in ways and anybody wanting to keep plants smaller should stick to soil IMO.

Thanks man. Yeah i actually am growing four all together. 2 ak 48s, 1 La diva and 1 titan. The La diva and titan are under a light now on day two, so just waiting for them to pop up above ground. The 2 ak 48s didnt fully germinate yet and in a few hours it will be 72 hours. kinda nervous about that actually. this will be my third grow and first auto grow. Before i grew sweet tooth, headband and purple maroc. Not too bad for a first grow, then i grew a moby dick that was a beast. So this time i decided to go auto. Plus ive never grown a blueberry strain or ak 47 one either. Any input guys have or whatever is totally welcomed! gladf you guys are here, im going to try and do an exstensive grow journal. when they pop Above ground i will start taking pictures with my cybershot. The two are in day 2 in 6 inch biodegradable pots and i will transplant them directly into the 3 gallon and 1 2 gallon, i have them under a 400 mh right now and will switch them to hps when they begin to flower. see you guys soon.

yeah man forsure 2012 year of the autos i suppose..

Nice La diva man. what did you say you had those under? did you harvest yet? if so how was that smoke? I heard it was a leafy plant but it looked so unique and dank that i had to get one ya know?

heres where i got my seeds, attitude of coarse. 2 ak 48s from- sagarmatha. 1 titan from 7 dwarf seeds and La diva from delicious.

Well today marks 70 days for my LA Diva and the I've been flushing for over a week (note the yellow leaves). I'll take it down this weekend It vegged in a closet under T5's for a while then a 90W LED, then into the tent when it became available under 2 180W LED's from Pro Source. This plant is so thick...at 1month old you couldn't even see through it. I worried about light getting into the center but everything stayed green throughout the grow. Mine was a freebie from Attitude as well. Thank you Attitude! I'll let you know about the smoke....it currently smells like blueberry coffee cake. My next auto is just up from seed (Joint Doctor's Easy Ryder). I might go back to soil on that one to keep the size down for a closet grow. My tent is designated for bigger girls that need bigger lights during flower.

update. 3/4 popped above ground. La diva is in the lead. it already has roots coming down from the bottom of the jiffy pot. still waiting on the last ak 48 to come up, but she was the last to go in so hopefully tonight.

my friend did a nirvana ak48 a few years ago it was a beast, it stunk like petrol and the stone was like being hit by a freight train - id love to do another one, keep me updated on the sagamartha ak48's !!

I just started my first autoflowering strain LA Diva and it popped 15 days ago. So about 70 days from the time it pops out of the soil and it should be finished? I'm running mine under a 400w MH that I am running nonstop 24 hours a day. 70 days from start to finish seems so fast. I just finished my first indoor grow about a month ago now and it took me about 4 months from seed to start and finish it. When you compare 4 months to 70 days or 2 1/2 months, that is just quite a bit faster.

lowblower, I'm using the hempy bucket method (passive hydro or "drain to waste" as some call it). The bottom 2" in #3 chunky perlite and the top is all cana coco. This grew in a smaller 2g bucket. I use the Lucas formula (FloraNova bloom only) with a tad cal-mg.
Here's what I got from here day before yesterday (minus the million popcorn buds) ....note the stem was 1" across in one photo. Hempy is explosive compared to soil and I don't recomend for those in smaller closets or cabs.

4 days since the chop and my LA Diva buds are crispy......64 g (2.25oz) dried bud went into jars for cure. That's better than most soil grows I did where the grow space was packed with plants.
Smoke report: For not being cured yet and with pipe hits, I'm getting a nice fruity, tasty-sweet inhale with a different exhale I can't describe yet. Gonna try a doobie tonight. The high is perfect blend of Indica/Sativa that will keep you motivated....not an Indica couch lock at all. I got in the kitchen and whooped up some got eats man. I wouldn't classify LA Diva as medical.....but it's definitely a keeper for myself. I'm so tired of the one or two hit stuff.. you don't get a chance to taste or enjoy in a relaxed fashion without having to plan ahead for some down-time. I also want to mention that this is a low odor strain all the way through finish.....it doesn't smell much unless you touch it and sniff your fingers....this is good news for indoor growers...keep this as your ace in the hole if you need stealth.

fuck yeah man. that is damn good for an autoflower id say. thats really good news for me about the odor because i dont have a vent fan or anything like that. mine is on day 7 i think and its getting so tall. v ery cool to wach. have you heard any other phenos on this LA diva? sounds like a perfect mix of indica/sativa, I wonder if there a sativa dom or an indica dom. man i that be awesome if i can get 2 oz off that beaut.

yeah, so kind of a bummer, one of my aks didnt germ. the other one is doing pretty good but not getting big like the other two. so will see about the ak 48 soon enough.
