First grow ever so any advise, pointers, mistakes, any criticism anyone will give me would be appreciated. It is obvious I have made a few mistakes but some were lack of control.

This is lowlife's automatic ak47 , ordered her from the doc. (hope its ok to say that) Ordered a 10 pack recieved quickly i guess kinda stealthy? the only bad part was only a few seeds were viable. Most seemed to be immature and/or crushed. Only 2 germed. Thank god one male one fem. It was ment to be

My babies started their lives outside about 8 weeks ago. Once they showed sex i brough them inside and put them under 3 65w sylvania spot grow bulbs in clip on shop light ballast reflector combos. I used GH Grow Micro and Bloom along with Golden Nectar foliar feed as supps. These were recommended by the nice local hippie at the hydro stro. He seemed to know what was up and probably could tell i was lost :eyesmoke:

Once inside i noticed the male has a ton of bugs so i tried to move him into a fresh pot. I accidentally picked up a bag of miracle grow soil with the time released fert pellets inside. Due to issues i was unable to check my man for a few days. A friend watered him but he died from the burn. RIP I tried to collect all the pollen sacks i could, but i only placed them into a plastic bag. The only reason for this grow was to get as many seeds as possible and repeat the process so please send me some green lovekiss-ass


Anyways heartbroken my female has survived about five more weeks a widow. During the days which i was unable to attend to her she had undergone some rapid growth and was burned from moving too close to the lights. I have never done this before and had read about how quickly these autos shoot up but i was amazed when i saw it for myself. She also underwent a slight problem with nute burn. My partner in crime who was tending her at the time did not give her the nutes on schedule. I tried to step her up weekly like other suggested starting at 1/6 but i guess it doesn't work so well if you miss a few feedings. Duh. I tried to brush some of the males remains over her in an attempt to impregnate. I think it might have worked many of the white pistils seemed to recede. I couldn't find too much information about pot pregnancy other than the effect on human babies.

As for a feeding schedule i tried to feed her once a week and water her every day. She is in a rather large bucket maybe a 5L? Thinking about going with hempy bucket next time. If the rest of you deem me too ignorant to give that a whirl I was thinking about atleast adding some medium to the soil so that it drains better.


At the begining of week 8 i found some better ballasts. Same deal except rated for 300W as opposed to the 125s. I have been running 2 125W Sylvania Spot Grows along with a 60. The 60 bulb blew today im planning on getting another tomorrow. Is this overkills? I believe these lights would be a nice addition to people's veg cabs. They are approx. 20 dollars with ballast reflector and bulb. No idea on the lumens.

She is quiet a little stinker although I have no experience to compare her to. For the past 3 weeks i have not been using any odor protection as she is safely tucked away at home now. I have a smal fan blowing on her at all times. Not sure how big or how many cfm. Kinda looks like the one bus drivers have. A desk fan or we.

Let me know what you guys think. I think thats all the important things for now. Any advice would be appreciated. Tried to take some decent pics for you guys. Let me know what you think. Planning on a chop in about 2 weeks as that would be my 70 days.

The smoke is nice. Sadly about 2 hours after i get an insatiable hunger. Goes with the territory i guess. Right after the chop she weighed in at 30g. Friday night only 8 remains. Damn water weight. The stock was only 10 inches. My buddy though that someone gave me a clone and I failed to veg it. I believe autos could be sweet if you get the larger pheno. Im sure i helped stunt it even more with my lack of experience. Live and learn.
