Yeah, my one AK in the DWC is my biggest indoor lady, she's gonna yield nicely! And the AK in soil has the widest bud, it's like almost three fingers in diameter, and I've got thick fingers(thats what she said!)





Yeah, lets see, I have 12 plants in the flower room, and one 400w HPS, and about 550 actual watts of CFL's...I couldn't wait till it cools down, and I'm in the midst of a perpetual right now...I'm ALMOST full steam ahead, about 5 weeks and I'll be harvesting, then I'll be full steam ahead, harvesting every 3 weeks!

thts really nice to see! harvesting every 3 weeks is gonna be amazing bookoo bud! whats the most you have yielded from one plant?

Actually, this is my first run with HPS, before I used CFL's...I'm still relatively new to indoor growing, I've been growing outdoors for a few years, but indoors got started right around the time I joined RIU, about 10 months ago...Just been picking up pieces of the grow bit by bit.

It'll be fun to find out!

I dunno, I found the seeds stashed from 5+ years ago in the top drawer of my desk...Wish I'd cloned her, I had no idea she was gonna turn out like she did...But after her, i tried my hand at DWC and grew a 4' monster in an 18 gallon DWC tote with CFL's...CHopped her early cause of PM, but probably got around 2 off her with not NEARLY enough light...and she would have fattened up a LOT more if i'd let her finish...still good smoke!

Well......I LOVE the explosive growth and yields of DWC, but I don't like topping off my reservoirs several times a week once the plants get bigger...But man, the plants get nice and big...But soil is cool, great flavors off plants grown in soil, not as much maintainance as far as the medium is concerned...I dunno, if it means anything, In my flower room I have 2 plants in DWC, and 10 in soil, but in my Veg tent (where the next 2 sets for the perpetual are being vegged), I have 11 in DWC and 0 on soil...I'm gonna switch over to hydro for my indoor grows for a while, and just grow in the dirt outdoors! Best of both worlds, baby!

fair enough that makes sense. i think ill stick to soil for a while then might try my hand in dwc. but yeah you have grown some nice bud for cfls and dwc/soil

Right on, yeah...I just need this perpetual to work out so I can harvest at least 3 ounces every 3 weeks...I put plants into flower every 3 weeks, and I start new plants in veg every 3 weeks. I veg 6 weeks before the switch. I have 2 sets in flower, and in 2 more weeks I'll have 3 sets in flower...so 5 weeks from now when I get my first HPS harvest, I'll be growing full steam ahead, and hopefully be getting the numbers I need, if not more!

How many times have you grown it?
I was wondering how much flowering time its taken you to get to crop of one. They brag 48 days under perfect conditions, but I'm wondering what it actually takes.

I don't know who you're talking to...

The ak47 I presume?...

For me, it's my first time growing this strain...

what do you plan on doing with it all if you dont mind me asking?
Click to expand...
Ah, well, between me and my lady, we can kill an ounce a week easily....So 3 ounces every 3 weeks is the minimum I need to be pulling to make it worth my while...Anything extra would be icing on the cake! It takes a while to get all the kinks worked out in a perpetual, and I'm guessing the plants I have in veg right now are gonna be the true test, since my first batch I tried to cram 7 girls under a 400w HPS and 385 actual watts of CFL's, and now that I added my 2nd set of 5 plants(sexing 3 from seed, 2 clones) I also added another 150 actual watts of CFL's...lol...But the eventual goal is to have 2-3 big plants per set, 3 sets in flower at a time, 3 weeks apart, flowering for 9 weeks

I'm hoping so!

I topped it. So that's a close up of one of the four main colas on it...
