Poppin My Own Cherry (eeewww)...LowLife Auto AK47

Bump

Need some advice on when to pollenate fellas.

You got your pollen from the males yet? well pretty much on the 40th day I'd say would be the best time, the amount of pistils will need to be high if you want lots of seeds, watch them closely and choose when you think theyre ready, you gonna dab the pistils with a paintbrush with pollen on it?
Told you your girls would love the root space

Yeah they are taking off, went down last night and they are shooting branches out into space now. And they all have the beginnings of buds on them already...in just 24 freaking hours. Crazy growth.

Oh yeah, got pollen collected and was planning on pollenating right about day 40...good advice...got some help on another forum and that was their recommendation as well. Gonna pollenate specific buds on my best looking female and keep her under my T5 bloom set up in my master closet for a couple of days. Make sure that pollen doesn't get anywhere it ain't supposed to.

where did you order your seeds from and how much did they cost?

I paid about $80 for 10 seeds, got a free tshirt and about 4 freebie G13 seeds thrown in as well. This order was placed with Attitude seed bank. No problems, fast shipping from overseas.

Thanks for the info ill deffinatly check that out.

Good looking plants, man! I'm growing some auto AK right now, too. I'm a bit behind you, though (my oldest is only 12 days). I'll be watching your grow and hope mine goes as smoothly. Good luck!

Thanks Higgs and welcome to the journal. You should start a journal and post up some photos, even if it's just for yourself.

Thanks for the welcome, Loco. I actually did start a grow journal last night after reading through yours and cheddar's posts. Here is a link to it, any advice you or anyone else has would be much appreciated .

muyloconc- Nice work, I love ur setup. It's clean and efficient.

Woohoo, I do believe there are a few crystals forming...LOL

Plants seem to be thriving...bushing out now with bud sites all over, actually the first time I needed to move them apart for better light penetration.

Fed them 1/2 strength nutes yesterday with no ill effects I can see. Next watering will be without nutes then I'll bump it up to 3/4 strength. They could probably take full strength but I'm playing it safe this grow.

I'm going to pollenate my best girl tomorrow and get her into my master closet for a couple of days. Gonna get some more use out of my T5 bloom bulbs.

I should be about 30 days out from harvest...give or take.

Thanks lovinit, it was definitely a lot of work. But, the payoffs will keep coming.

your gona get some hulk arms

Looks great, my first grow is going to be some LR2 x AK47. Thanks for the great info!

Damn, your plants look good, dude. They really.. tie the room together. I'm curious to see about how much you get per plant.

Hulk arms sure sounds good to me. The ladies are getting pretty tall too, I've heard of quite a few grows where they only got 9 inch tall autos, all three of these are right at a foot tall. Didn't really have any unwanted stretching either as the light was always real close.

Good luck with it bud. If you do, make sure you get your odor control early and that is definitely not the area to save money on...get the best you can afford. Cause they is stinky. I'm going to order a 10 pk of diesel ryder for my next grow while the seeds from this grow are finishing up.

Thanks Higgs, anything near an ounce per plant would be a huge success for me. I'm sure I could have pushed the nutes harder and maybe had greater growth/yield, but I really just want to make it to the finish line this grow.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I'm gonna be hella pissed, though, if you get an ounce per plant and I get one of those chinchy 4 g plants jk. As for the nutes you can't go wrong with using less as long as they're getting all they need, right?

Thats the way I'm looking at it. I might be a little more aggressive on the next one if this one ends up ok.

hey man looks fecking sweet! ill be in touch when i get home on the 19th....but yeah man, theyre looking raadiant!

Thanks again Cheddar. Hope you're enjoying yourself. Vacation right?

I waited a little longer than I first planned to pollenate, had inlaws in my house for Easter so I'll be yanking my best girl and giving her the good stuff this afternoon.
