I've read on a number of occasions never to give superthrive to flowering plants, makes the buds fluffy apparently. Superthrive should really only be used on seedlings and sick plants and usually only 1 drop at a time (superthrive is very strong stuff) I'd go easy on it or not use it at all.

No point cropping Auto strains as they don't have a veg period, as for LST, there really is no point as they don't really grow big enough. Mind you, my AK47's are really bushy and a little LST may have helped. I had a similar weird looking Lowryder2 like yours in the pic, ended up growing 2...

I'm on day 46 of my lowryder2 + 2x auto AK47. Check out the grow journal in my sig

day45. 2-3 weeks left to go :) Buds are generating a lot of trichs, fairly pungent smell. Poor little lowryder has been sick throughout (she's at the front with a 75cl bottle) The lowryder2 is sitting on a box- 6" higher than the Ak's to bring her closer to the light. AK47 budshot

un f$%king believable!!

if they are looking droopy, you're probably overwatering them. Dont cut them off! you'll just stress the plant even more than it already is. Allow your plant to dry out between watering. The leaves are essential for absorbing light (the plants source of energy), so be nice to them. If you have...

Not sure of the weight, scales are dead. I think that pic is a bit misleading, I would imagine a lot of that hash is leaf matter. It smokes and tastes ok but doesn't give you much of a kick, mind you, the plant most of it came from wasn't too strong anyway. Still happy with it though, beats...

The AK47's are easily 3-4 times bushier and twice as tall as the lowryder2. I've grown a few LR2's before but these AK's are a LOT bigger. Will be posting a few new pics soon, will include a size comparison, though this LR2 is a bit sick and not as big as the last few I've grown.

I made a large amount of low grade hash with 2 carrier bags full of frozen trim using this method - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kbCtKE2Ghk Really easy and very cheap, but doesn't give you great quality. Here are my results -

Day 42, buds are filling out nicely. Not too frosty yet though, hope they hurry up!

The cheapo carbon filter was a sheet that you can buy and cut to size. Absolutely useless! Have been looking at the DIY active carbon filters on here. I think I'll have to try and build one as the smell is pretty strong.

Day 34: Buds galore :)

Day 31: The new fan has arrived, too big for my home made silencer box but damn does it shift air. Have it hooked up to a fan controller and on its lowest setting the room stays at 24C with the doors closed! Fitted a cheapo carbon filter to the end of the cooltube and also on the ducting...

Nothing has been cut except for a few large fan leaves at the bottom. They usually grow to a maximum height of around 2ft so need for chopping, fiming or LST'ing

^^ Agreed, Don't rush the final process. Grinding whilst wet is a pain and will also dislodge those juicy trichs. BE PATIENT. You've waited months growing it, give at least a month to dry / cure properly. air dry => paper bag => sealed jars => grind and smoke some finely cured bud and be proud...

main colas of both AK's feel free to comment

day 29. Damn extract fan has broken, had to raise the light until a new one arrives. Starting to bud nicely :)

Do you think it would be a good idea to flush her with mineral water?

Thanks again, I already have some PH down as the water here is very alkaline, I just haven't got a good way of measuring the PH levels as I only have PH paper test strips!

Thanks SunKissedBuds, I didn't think you could overdo organic nutes, and the bottles all state 2-5ml / ltr / every watering which is what I've been doing, especially as the soil contains no nutes. I think the PH may be the problem, will take your advise and let the soil dry out and give her a...
