Those look awesome, great grow Reiss. I'm starting a 400w hps grow soon, definitely leaning towards these auto ak47s now that I've seen these prolific grows. Which seedbank did you get yours from?

Got them from here

Really good service in the UK.

I would recommend Auto AK's highly, should have a smoke report (popcorn buds only) in about 2 weeks.

The rest of the plant will be hung up for about 5-7 days then put in a paper bag for a few more days, then sealed in masonary jars for curing.

Ur girls looks awesome bro!!
Yeah man that family situation of urs kinda sucks. I had that problem before when my ex-girl's mom stayed at our house for a week, and she's like realy anti drugs too. I had to clean the extra bedroom where all my stuff was, where she was goin to be stayin, moved my plants to the attic, they where on their 5th week on 12/12. I had to build a big box in the attic to run vetilation to keep the box cool, it was summer back then. It was a pain in the ass.

Thanks for the good comments. Yeh, girlfriends family can be a real pain! I used to live in Florida too (Ft Lauderdale, Miami) not the easiest place to keep things cool.

My parents came down a couple of weeks ago, quite happy to show them my plants, my dad was really impressed! Think he used to smoke many years back, ended up getting stoned with him! Really weird, the guy's 60, never seen him giggle so much :bigjoint:

Day 64:
Well, these are the last photos before I'm forced to chop them down in 3 days (at least a week early looking at the trichs :sad:)

Had a squeeze of some of the buds - really tight and sticky :eyesmoke:

Taken with the lights off (the little Lowryder2 is back,left) -









what do you think?

will post harvest pics in a few days.

Unlike you, I didn't have any luck with the lr2s, but I was trying a new hydro system. I'm using soil now which seems more my speed. You've really convinced me to try that strain for my next purchase.

Great thread! Its hard to see that beautiful bud when all I have is leaves, lol.:weed:

Day 68: Early harvest day (would have liked another week)
99% of the trichs are cloudy, spotted a few amber, but not too many.
Scales aren't working, so it's guessing time!
Buds are VERY tight and the smell is extremely potent. They have been taken to a friends shed for hang drying for the week while we have visitors.

All the girls together (Lowryder2 at the front, 2 AK47's at the back



Lowryder2 harvest (she was a little sick throughout the grow, fairly thin buds but VERY sticky -



AK47 #1 harvest -



AK47 #2 harvest -



All together -




Will weigh them at my friends house next Saturday once they've dried a little.

What do you think?

I'm curious about how you used your molasses.. Did you put it in your soil? Or did you do frequent waterings with nutrients? Very nice buds btw. I'm thinking about a lowryder grow when I get another spot ready.

I used the molasses once a week. Take a small container, put some hot water in to help dilute the molasses. I add 1 teaspoon / litre. Give it a good mix and add to your water.

If given a choice between LR2 & AK47, I would choose AK47 every time now, same grow time but MUCH bigger yields. mind you, this will be my first time smoking AK47 so will give you a better comparison in a couple of weeks.

Did you use blackstrap? I was thinking about for my next grow instead of using all these name brand nutrients I use a molasses/guano tea. I've ordered some AF Diesel Ryder. Should be in next week. I'm planning to harvest seeds from them.

They have been drying in a warm shed for almost a week now. Finally got a chance to weigh the harvest.....

Total dry weight (including stems) - 304 grams

Smoke report on the 'popcorn' AK47 buds:
Very smooth / sweet flavour with that all familiar skunky smell.
The high is a surprisingly long lasting kinda spacey type head high (probably due to the early harvest), with a mild sedative type body effect.

When I try the more potent bigger buds, will post a report on them too + a Lowryder2 report.

Happy toking all, and thanks for checking out my Journal. It's been a lot of fun growing these auto's and for the space starved grower, highly recommended.
