Finally an update!
Those of you who are my friends on here know i was forced to deal with some really bad luck / an act of god a while back. About two months ago my garden fell victim to a flood. I lost a bunch of personal possessions, had some damage to my home, lost my mother plants and and lost 5 out of my 8 flowering plants, and damn near lost my mind during all of this...
The mothers were all in soil pots sitting on the floor level a drown in the flood. My hydro (dwc) plants that i was flowering i thought would be fine during the first day of the flood due to the fact they were all in sealed 5 gallon buckets which were not below the water line of the flood. During all the chaos didn't notice that my air pump that provides oxygen to the roots of all my DWC plants had become submerged in the flood waters and stopped working. Due to lack of oxygen to the roots from the pump failure my Jack the Ripper, my two Cheesequakes and two out of four of my AK-47 plants were seriously crippled / drown in less than 24 hours. As a survival tactic the plants sucked every last bit of life that had in them from their leaves to attempt to keep the buds alive. The buds on all the plants were unharmed but the leaves were all completely sucked dry to a crisp over night. Without leaves on the plants to allow photosynthesis the bud growth had come to an end...
I did allow the damaged plants to go another couple weeks to let them try to ripen, bud without healthy leaves to fuel the bud growth they really didn't grow at all. I didn't take many pics of the drown plants but here are a couple i did take of the AK-47's. Its hard to see how bad they look under the HPS light but when i chopped them down you can see the devastation...
The one AK-47 bucket (two plants) and the one Cannatonic plant that did survive only suffered minor damage by some miracle with only having a few burnt leaves on the upper canopy. These girls turned out great!!! The surviving AK-47's might just set a new personal record for me, just waiting for the dry weights to confirm it. From one 5 gallon bucket holding two AK-47 plants, with only a two week veg, completely untrained (no topping, no bullshit defoliation, or other riu myths) i got 17 hangers full of monster buds.
The first pic is the pick of the litter, not quite as big as the gallon of GH nutes its laying on but pretty close! The next pic is another of the many hangers of fat buds with a 24 oz can ​for comparison.

Life has been so busy lately i've almost have no time for these forums..
Chopped the Cannatonic a couple weeks ago and it was interesting to say the least...
I'll have to update the details later if i have time but for now i'll just post some pics.

Quick update...
Still haven't weighed out my entire AK-47 yield, but when i was separating the buds from the stems after hanging drying for 8-9 days and jarring them and i weighed a few of the biggest colas. The biggest one (i think the one used in the pic i posted against the gallon jug of nutes) weighed in at 28.3 grams dry.

Hi Huel, thought you might find this interesting. I was successful in my CBD pheno hunt of Snow Goddess. 1:1 THC:CBD - right at 8% each. Here's the analysis.

Speaking of lab testing...
I'm going to Iron Labs either tomorrow or the next day to drop off 5 new samples for testing. AK-47, Jack the Ripper, Cannatonic, some of my bubble hash and The Jeffrey that a friend grew.

Only 2 believe it or not. Per the breeder, I had a 1 in 5 shot of finding the CBD pheno, so yeah I was lucky. The other pheno turned out to be a badass Indica dom with 21% THC.
