Great thread. I love to see people presenting proof and not just opinion. Not that opinions dont' matter. They do, from the right folks. ;) I'm really interested in seeing your final results. Those are great looking buds.

It would be sad if your threads went the way of the dyna-saurs. Ive had alot of fun reading the way you grow and your responses to people im having a little bit of coloring issues with my lady it might either be rootrot or my adding a small amount of flower into my grow food (because i was planning on switching to flower this week)

Here we are at day 60, what do you look for in a finished sativa?
I'm still seeing new bud growth popping out at the tops.

If those were mine, I'd chop them today. Picture 7 shows a lot of red pistols and the plant from top to bottom fits my criteria for being 'ripe'. Your choice of course but with a sativa dominant strain, I'd rather error on the side of a touch early than late. In my opinion, you wont be a touch early harvesting today, you'd be exactly on time.

Great grow, I want to see the results! I tried to switch to dyna grow when I went to the hydro store but they were all sold out....I got sold on the AN line so far I cant complain its way better than the Fox Farms nutes I used, so I am interested in how yours turns out! If the dyna grow is way better than my total investment was $55 and its not to hard to switch. Once again great grow and props for taking the time to do this grow.

I think it's intended for people who use RO water and if you're a hydro guy using RO like myself, I use 2mls per gallon. If you're using tap water, 1ml/gallon should be fine for both hydro and dirt, though I'm too lazy to use it in the dirt.

thanks allot my friend. i was getting a mag def and my plants werent acting right, talked to DG and they said i need a 1:1 or cal/mag and can get that by using mag-pro. i am in sunshine#4 so its really drain to waste hydro but am using tap water. i was thinking about 1m per gal but just wanted to get others fed back to see what works best for them. thanks my friend

So the AK47 grown with connoisseur is about 90% dry and will be placed in bags to sweat out a few more grams. In all honesty, the yield isn't looking too great and I think what is killing it is the lack of density. A lot of the lower buds had poor density but sometimes that can be expected. Something I'm noticing though is that the upper buds just aren't as compact and tend to be more 'calyx-y' and airy with connoisseur. I think resin content looks solid and the aroma is nice and with any luck, I may have a final writeup and a smoke report later this week.







AK47 grown with DynaGro:

I want to make sure I'm doing Connoisseur justice here because the buds actually do look pretty good with good resin production. Here's a closer shot in slightly better light:

They both look good. If you wouldn't mind, keep us updated on the taste and effects after it cures a bit.

I'll be conducting a blind test with my testers to see if they can tell a difference between the two. I wont tell them anything about either nug, just that they're from different batches.

Sometimes I'll throw them a curveball and give them two nugs from the same batch just to see if they think they can tell a difference. I can't remember a time where my impression of the product differed from theirs. I'm too close to this test to give an unbiased opinion but I will be sampling both just to add another opinion.

Using both Sunshine Mix #4 and Mag-Pro @ 1.25 ML per gallon, since switching to Dyna-Gro, thanks to a conversation I had with homebrewer over a year ago.
