Ak48 and two Aurora indica clones...CFL's all the way

[tristynhawk]

Well i have no pictures yet because i can't find my camera charger. But here's the story i started two regular ak48 seeds and i have two AI clones that look pretty weak, i was gonna throw them away but figured i'd grow them besides my ak's.
Besides if one or both of the ak's show male i may breed it with the AI. I will be using soil just a cheap soil from my local hardware store called Garden Magic but my plant's seem to love it i have used a couple bags already this year.

I have 8 26 watt 6500k
1-45 watt 2500k
And a few 23 watt 6500k
I would like to have a few more bigger 2500k but 45 watt is the biggest i can find locally the hydro store is 2 and half hours away and with the price of gas i doubt i go there. Nutes will probably be blood meal and bone meal and i have some alaskan fish fert's liquid form.

Well this is it for now i will post pics of grow area and everything when camera charger is located.

happy growing....tristynhawk

Hello.. I'm growing with cfl's as well doing ebb and flow.. I've seen pretty nice results with cfl's, so I'm confident that they should do fine for you.. I think Lowes or Home Depot has a few higher wattage cfl bulbs, maybe like a 65w or something.. I'm sure you know you can order some pretty nice bulbs online for the low... Hope to see those pics soon

aurora indica can't remember what week it was

As promised here is the first pic's they aren't much to see yet. The ak's have been placed in dirt after they broke a tap root in the paper towel method.
they have a humidity dome on them until they shed their casing. And the clones look weak but i figure they just need time i started a few for outside and these were the weakest and i was gonna throw them out but couldn't.
And yes i know i have to vaccum up some dirt. For an area i have 2ft. deep 30 inches wide Do you guy's think this is big enough for four plant's.

Any input is appreciated as i have never flowered with a light.

Nice....

 

[tristynhawk]

i killed my clones and started more ak's
i wasn't liking the clones.
How tall should i flower too help keep my plant's at 24 inches when finished.

 

[tristynhawk]

here are my plants so far not much to see. My germ rate on the ak's were horrible. All of them sprouted but seemed to not grow after sprouted. I have one growing and two waiting to die. So i started two bag seeds to grow beside the ak. The pic three is the ak's. The pic with two is the bagseed.
i havent fed yet thinking i will next watering.

well things have changed first off i put the ai clones outside and i have 1 AK goin about three weeks old and a few short riders that i think im gonna kill off. My new project is breeding hopefully this Ak turn's male, but i cut some clones right before my plants went into full flower i have 5 kaya and one NL. I want to breed the AK to the kaya and the NL clones, i have already switched to 12/12 now for about four days now. the ak really started stretching. This is all new to me i have grown for 15 years but never inside. My clones are around 6 inches tall i have no idea how tall they will end up. Anyone no any tricks for insuring i get a male from the ak seed. If it turn's female i thought about trying to make it hermie. Anyway on with the pics. I will keep this updated regularly so please comment and give tip's along the way.

 

[tristynhawk]

well everything is still progessing nicely. Clones are starting to flower nice but my damn ak hasn't sexed yet. My short rider's are still alive i haven't killed them. Been pulling the males though. I f i run outta room i will pull the females. Hopefully this ak is a male and i can get pollen and get it out and have more room.

 

[tristynhawk]

So far no snags, my damn ak still hasn't showed any signs of sex though. I have never wanted a male so bad...lol

Updates 2 morrow guy's. Wow i have never flowered a plant inside before they grow fast when you flip the light's. I will put up pics 2morrow i would now but it's light's out. They are going crazy though Buds about dime sized 12-18 inches tall. I kinda figured i'd just have a cola where i flowered so short but these things are branching like crazy. Every morning when the light's come on i got to raise the lights. Will they slow down on the stretch ?

I'm a veteran guerrilla grower but this is new to me here, and it's very addicting.

That is exactly how i started!! i have been an outdoor grower for almost 20 years. mostly spray and pray... I started indoors and i thought "how much different can it be?" ha!! way different!!! they depend on you for EVERYTHING indoors!!!



PS... thanks for the rep!!!!

 

[tristynhawk]

here they are, they are still alive..lol Got my kaya's and the one nl. The little sideways plant is a short rider that i decided to keep, hate to say it but i threw the other's in the trash to make room for these. If this little grow works out i may do another this winter. I have some Dr. greenthumb gear and some Super Lemon Haze from Gh seeds. Well onto the pics. For lighting i have 260 some watts of cfl i need to figure out a way to get some side lighting on them.
