Nah, smells a bit like a tomato plant, really, but not strong. The two males smelled a bit more like the herb, but this one is just starting to really bud now so it may develop yet with time.

Ok, so the lesson today is to never trust your local authority on their water analysis reports. Finally got my pH meter today and did a little test. The shop was out of buffer solution so I made a reasonable test solution by making some fresh distilled water (boiled water in a pot and caught the condensation into a clean dish). Testing the calibration on my pH meter seemed to give sensible results, reading at about 7.01, which is what we expect.

Ok, so the meter is working and calibrated.


Now, I let the water run from the tap until it went cold and filled up a glass measuring cup - tested the pH and got (duhn, duh, dah!) about 6.9! Reading the water quality report for my area, however, gave values of mean pH as 7.8! (7.6--8.2 range) So yeah, never trust anyone - measure things yourself.

So I mixed up some nute solution (1/2 strength plus 1/4 tsp. epsom salt per litre) and tested that -> pH 6.15. Perfect - just right for soil. So clearly, it would seem, that my yellowing leaves are not a pH/lockout problem. Now the mystery remains whether there is still some specific nutrient deficiency or excess, or whether they were just old fan leaves dropping, perhaps a bit quicker on the autos than for a normal plant due to their fast life cycle and very short veg period.

At any rate, I fed at 1/2 strength today with that solution after giving pure water for my last watering. Budding continues to develop and, aside from the old dead fan leaves, the rest of the plant looks vibrant and healthy.

Watch this space - more news to follow.

Day 25

Just realised I don't really have a good picture to show the size/scale of the
plant, so here's one with a gratuitous inclusion of my ESP KH-203 to give a sense of size.

Otherwise she's starting to look a bit frosty and budding like a dirty minx in heat Not bad for two and half-weeks from popping - I'm pretty impressed with Lowlife's genetic wizardry on this one.

No idea exactly, but AK-47 proper is ~20%, so I'd guess something less than that - maybe 16-18%ish?

nice, link us your journal when you get it up, man

I noticed on this one that the early leaves were big and fat like indica/ruderalis leaves but now that it's budding the new growth are looking more and more like slim sativa leaves. Wild.

as far as strength, lowryder 2 is around 15% ak its self is 21% so the two together should be around 18 to 20, should be just as potent as the original.with some lowryder taste and lowryder punch added.
one of the reasons i wanted to try it was the fact that ak is one hitter quitter smoke, combined with a potent autoflower, should make this something else.

Are you sure? 15%? I thought lowryder 2 was lacking on THC contents, but thats like, higher than a lot of the most popular stains (like Skunk#1???)?

Peace out x
