Started flowering on day 19. Using sensi bloom w/ amino acids, enzymes, b vitamins, rhino skin For first week. Ph 5.8-6.8 using tap water and 2000ppm tds. I think this hearty strain can handle more, but I don't want to push em too hard.

4 Tubes are vinyl fence post and are 98" long, and 4 3/4" square. They have 16 holes with spray misters inbetween each hole. Pump is a submersible. There is a ceiling mounted carbon filter creating a negative pressure in the room.

Has anyone experimented with different strains in similar setups? Most of these girls are orange crush. I also have a few ak48's in there I purchased from nirvana.

Can't believe how big the buds are at 30 days into flower! The colas are 4-6" long, and 2-3 fingers thick already! Looking fwd to start seeing even more swelling of the nuggets! The orange is starting to catch up to the ak48 in bud size, the orange also seemed to continue to stretch a week after the ak48 stopped. The buds are covered in trics, and even the fan leaves are starting to get dusted. The inner bud leaves are of course encrusted. Have taken lots of pics and will post within the next few days.

I'm using a 40l res and running mostly advanced nutrients. My week 5 recipe was 160ml sensi a, 160ml sensi b, 100ml nirvana, 80ml budcandy, 80ml bud factor X, 80ml hygrozyme, 30ml bloombastic. There is also a secret proprietary formulation that I use, all I can say about it is it's an amino acid / B vitamin / RNA/DNA soup.

I am currently flushing my monster buds with pure water. Will be harvesting next week some time. These bds are so huge it's unbelievable!!! I have almost a dozen near-footbal sized colas!!! I'd say about 1.5 pop-cans tall and thick!(these are the colas closest to the bulbs). The 100+ remaining colas are as large as a womans fist! The buds are so large and heavy that that are falling and leaning all over the place. Next time I'm defiantly investing in some netting. I'm so tired of tying them up!!! I'm estimating low at 14 oz cuz I kno the buds will shrink when drying, my bro is guesstemating over 2lb!!! So we will see who's closer. I really hope he is!!!

I'm currently Cleaning my pics due to the type of camera I'm using. I don't want my personal info or location to be imbedded in the photos. Will probably wait till after the harvest to post pics.

Why do these type of sites allow users to view camera info? I always wondered about that, and if taken with a phone can they tell exactly where you are when you click? hmmm. I don't know electronics too well, but get em cleaned up and post some porn please!

I'm not sure if you can but I'd rather not take that risk. Lol . Anyway.. Harvested just under 26oz. 3oz of ak48, and 23oz of orange. All is cured and nirvana ak48 came out better than the orange. The ak48 has a bit of a piney scent when growing, but after the cure it has a black licorice like smell & sweet taste. All the orang has been phased out and the next cycle will be 100% ak48. After that I'm concisering cole train or OG kush. Defunding going to keep a mom of Ak around tho. I have fixed a lot of the issues I had with the last grow and this next grow I am estimating 50+oz of ak48 out of a 4x10' 2000w setup.

New additions to next grow already purchased... Advanced nutrients master growers lineup, portable air conditioner, air cooled reflectors, and the big $ purchase sealed room & CO2!!! Can't wait to witness this grow setup that already produces ginormous colas, with the CO2 addition.

Great bud Buster! Looks like a successful grow! I like your idea about using vinyl fenceposts to make the chassis for your grow op. Nice job!!

Thanks much! Yea I was very pleased with the success of my setup. Now I have CO2 and a lot more upgrades to improve my harvest. Can't wait to see the difference this time around.
