This is my fifth auto grow for the year. This strain has sativa genetics so it will take a bit longer than my previous auto grows.
Edit 11/6/12: I dont think this is a full auto. By full i mean it hasn't got the full genetics of a auto strain as it's taking a while for the buds to fill out. It started flowering in week 5.
specs about the strain.
Strain: Auto-Flowering AK48
Seedbank: Sagarmatha seeds

Characteristics: Highest THC retaining Auto Strain!
I will be growing in a soil medium. I have mixed 3 parts soil to 1 part perlite in a 9 litre pot. The soil i am using is yates professional premium. Not ideal for autos but for now until i get used to making my own organic mix this will do. I just have to adjust nute feeds.
Nutrients: I have had good results with proganics range of feeds. So will keep using proganics growth, pk13-14, yield plus and bloom. Also will be adding molasses and cweed seaweed concentrate and Monsta Bud bloom additive.

Grow Area: Grow tent 0.9mx0.5mx1.6m
Day sprouted 25/4/12

As you can see i have some curling which i think that is from heat and lack of proper Co2 circulation. I have added a big fan positioned outide of the tent blowing air through one of the air flaps. The buds are forming very slowly as he is in week 3 of flowering.
I am sure in the next few weeks there will be a massive growth spurt and the buds should fill out nicely.
