Just finished trimming 9 ak 48. Pilled down on day 48. All triks were cloudy and just tinting amber. They had completed maturation according to the cananabis bible. No new growth or increace in size for almost the last 8 days (at least since week 6). Used Lucas and gh dry nutes. (Very eazy to use) in the Greentree Multiflow (ebb and grow type) in a 2 week pepetual harvest set up 36 site 1 f/ per plant. 4000 watts with co2 burner will worth the money $350 and cheap to operate 20 for lp every 6 wkkks or so. Veggged 2 weeks under 400 mh to about 10 inches in homwmade e/f set up. I reciently changted it out to a dwc for better and longer roots. I have another havest of the ak clones in 1 week (I plaaned on 8 week flower but now it looks like they are ready (how I Like them (headeffect) after 6 weeks 42 day. I did some research and the co2 appears to shorten the flower maturation period.
The plants looked great colas the size of my forearm (and Im a big man) and no real issues in the flower stage other than a little light burn, nute burn in veg and a little ph flux. All went well, good premium quality buds in the end ( it tooks every bit of eight hours to harvest and trim) I am unhappy with the wet weight 2000 gms I suspect arround 400-450 dry all bud no stems. I will have a better perspective when dry. I had a full canopy and stuff trying to fall over ( had to tye several cola up) thinking how can I increase my yeild. This by the way was the conclusion of my 4th grow, been doing this about a year. Any suggestions? More plants/ less plats 1+/- sq ft per plant? Should I flower at 14-16 inches? It good now but I want better!

that is a great yield for a 400 watt grow...increase the wattage and space your plants out more so they get more light. 1 gram per watt is a highly efficient grow. Happy growing! Peace
