What up man. Looks like you burnt your last one a lil thats why it turned yellow. The autos don't like alot of nutes they tend to burn real easy. Wait till about the third set of leaves and then give a very very light dose. And sorry ditch the MG man go with something organic and you won't even burn the plants. But your looking pretty good right now. Also get a ph soil tester and make sure the ph stays at 7 or so. During flowering it won't take up the nutes if the ph is way off and then you'll end up with popcorn buds like my plant I'm about to cut down this monday. I will post you a link to my journal. The auto Ak47. I got two going right now one is about done and the other still has a month. Btw loving the case diy setup you got. I am using the 400hps so my auto's are a bit bigger than yours but not to worry. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/141581-auto-ak47-bagseed-test-plant.html#post1772748. Ok I'll be watching this one. Best of luck to you man.

ONCE AGAIN NEWB's - LED's are a form of LASER LIGHT and don't have the spectral quality plants need nor do they have a Kelvin temperature rating. And for YOU PEOPLE that have always wanted to try LED's - DO YOU NOT READ?? (The forums here)

Hey,

I spent months doing extensive research before purchasing the LED light and if you read my journal properly you will see that I acknowledge the inferiority of the technology for the flowering stage, at present. HOWEVER LED has many advantages for a stealth operation especially on a small scale such as my own. In future do not comment unless you have experience and evidence to back up your claims. I have found LED lighting to be exactly what I had hoped for during the Veg stage.

looking good. I am trying the auto ak 47 currently waiting on my shipment of seeds from Attitude bank. what seed bankd id you use? how long did it take u?

Thanks. I can't remember which bank it was but the seeds I received were of poor quality, most were light coloured and only a few germinated.

I have just recently received my order from attitude which was excellent, all seeds are dark and were packaged twice to ensure safe transport. I would recommend attitude for both there quick delivery and easy tracking system also the excellent quality of the products.

Good luck with your grow man, keep me posted.

P.S I ordered one feminised 'The Church' and received 5 x G13 'Thai Super Skunk' seeds free. They arrived just a few days after placing the order :clap:

Hey dude,

Yeah the MG really messed up the last one, I have already ditched it for this grow. As for the auto's not liking nutes that would make sense as my current grow reacted badly to a stronger dose of foliar feed a couple of weeks ago. Many leaves now look as though they have been eaten by insects, but none are present. I have a soil testing PH kit but it is very basic, I will be investing in an electronic tester and some organic fertilizer when I have more money.

I will be updating the journal a bit later. Thanks for the advice and complements. I have read your journal, and will be checking back often for reference. Keep up the good work.

Ok so I haven't got time to do a full update, I will continue this update tomorrow. I have a lot to say as the plant has been through some shit recently but isn't looking too bad all things considered. In the mean time here are some pics to look at.

P.S. Ignore any yellow in the pics as it is just the light on the camera reflecting of the plant, and I haven't white balanced the photos in Photoshop.

looking nice and bushy

Yeah she is certainly getting bushy, and yet still small enough to fit in the case which is good. She does keep burning herself on the CFL though, so I am gonna add an intake fan soon and use some string or garden wire to keep the leaves away from the light.

To be honest she is taller than I wanted, I was planning on investing in an Nlite Purple CFL but for the current grow I doubt it will fit, maybe next time. I am looking into getting a more powerful CFL soon though.

Will update soon, take it easy.

i see you have been through alot of probs m8!! i hope u thoroughly read my journal as i think it will help u see how u can avoid some of your mistakes!! in general ur plant is looking good!! but i see no pistils no bud sites no nothing but green!! so on this note i dont know how well ur baby will do under the lights u have it!! greens horticulture has everything u need from compost to real lamps!! in general know that the ak gets quite tall mine are over a meter high!! as i told u in my journal the Ak thats doing the best is the one which hasnt been fed and its in week 5 or 6 dont remember!! go organic as with organic u will need to fuck up bad to harm ur plants!! i mean i added 2.5 times more guano to my soil and didnt burn my plants well the soils ph changed and i created a nute lock out but i was able to deal with it and i will be able to harvest a good batch!! Af strains like going deep so i in combination with their expected height i would try to find a taller box!! but its up to you and what u see u can do with ur plant!! from my experience i would not feed my AFs again!!!! i will add all they need in their compost and let them get what they want!! i hear times are tuff money wise but i think that with ur condition a good investment on a quality lamp and a bigger grow space will greatly improve ur chances of harvesting a high yielding dank plants!! il be stopping by hope things are going smoothly and enjoy always!!!!

Thanks for the tips dude, got most of the problems sorted now and I haven't updated pics for a while.

She is definately producing pistils, though of course growing more slowly under one light.

I don't have little money, I have no money, but will definitely invest in organic when I do.

I have some Molasses and a few more lights that will be added for the next update.

I did plan to LST earlier on but left it too long to do it the way I wanted, got some jute twine now so i'll see what i can do.

Your always welcome to stop by man, take it easy.

Hey guys, yeah she is doing good at the moment, some nice little buds that are getting frosty. She wasn't really yellowing as such, the pics just look that way because i use my DV camera which has an orange/yellow light on the front. Will be doing an update with pics soon, hopefully tonight (GMT) if I can.

Thanks for stopping, take it easy.

Hey everyone. Firstly I apologize for the lack of updates of late but I will upload a couple of pics in a bit when she comes outta her dark cycle. Secondly before anyone starts to say that she doesn't seem to be producing much bud, that is because I have pillaged most of it from her already...I couldn't help myself. It was sweet tasting and got me nicely stoned, although I am sure she will get better with age. Hopefully I can resist the urge to rob the rest of her flowers.
