Afghan Kush Ryder

Whats up guys!

Back at it with another auto grow. I gave a photo period a shot (Bubble Bomb by Bomb Seeds) and it was going AMAZINGLY well till I got into a few weeks into flower and i had to go outta town for a day and some how my tent was left open and hermed the shit out of it so that sucked pretty bad. Lots of good info tho so it wasnt a total loss.

Anyways I started another AKR bean a few weeks back along with a photoperiod bean (Nemesis) and they both took off. The Nemesis is all fucked lookin but this AKR...!!! Shes real stocky and doesnt have alot of height to her but she looks by far the healthiest plant iv ever had.

My set up is:
2x2x4 tent
Galaxyhydro 300w LED
5g smart pot
FFOF and FFHF mix (50/50) w/ perlite
Flora nutes (micro, gro, bloom)

She broke soil FEB 19th and showed sex MAR 13th

Im really likeing the mixed soil so far. Iv run just FFOF from the start on my last grows and had slight burn with some clawed tips bit not much more. So far with the mix its been ZERO problems. Havnt started feeding yet either. Going to wait at least another week i think on that and see how she looks.

The only thing im a little bumbed about is her height. Id like her to strech more but no biggie. Shes started to in the last 2 days so hopefully she takes off for another few inches at least.

Sup guys!

Still lookin good and starting to streach a little. Also looking like shes starting to get hungery so I think in a few days ill start on a light feeding of 1/4 strength.

Whats up guys!

The strech is on! This girl is starting to take off and branch out pretty well. So far she seems to be more bushy than the last AKR I grew. I did a little leaf tucking and she got her first light feed lastnight also. Im lovin the color of the leaves to! This mix of FFOF/FFHF is magic lol

Looks better than sum of your previous attempts, have U ever considered a different ligt , to try & get sum more size , b 4 stretch begins ?? good luck with her

Thanks poon! For sure looking better than the last few lol. I have definitly thought about getting a bigger light but I cant till I can change my tent (need a bigger one). I might try this fall/winter since my grow area will be able to take the temps.

I've got two Vipar 600's in my 2x4, having great results!

Ahh yeah! Shes lookin good!

Shes streaching out and getting some nice side branching. She also seems to have taken her first feeding well and has no burn that i can see. Temps are getting to be on the higher side in my tent right now but i should have just enough time to finish her out without major problems.

What lights do you have them under?

Just a Galaxyhydro 300w full spectrum. I want to move up to the 600w and see how that does but the 300w works pretty good.

Your plants look like they are getting plenty of light.

I had some Northern Lights auto from @Andrew2112 and it was spectacular.

What up!

Gettin ready to feed the girl. Shes still streaching a little bit and buds are starting to form.

Your getting better Smokie, nice work, soon youll be growing Auto's like this , all the best

Thanks poon!

Those look dank!!! Hopefully this summer ill pull some real nice stuff outdoors... I have 5 pots ready to go right now, just waiting on the beans to pop. Maybe one will be epic....?!?!?!? Lol

Quick update!

Shes still lookin great and taking the 1/4 strength feeding well. She doesnt seem to be streching anymore and is really starting to push bud and hairs. Also shes gettin a light coat of frosty goodness!

My tents a bit crowded right now. I have 2 Afghan Kush Ryders, 2 Bubblelicious, and 1 OG kush planted in 2g smart pots. Im waiting for them to pop up and sprout before i stick them outside. Once they are outside shell have the tent to herself and that should make things a bit easier on me lol.

Sup guys!

Started givin her 1/2 strength feedings. Next watering will be just streight up RO but so far she looks good. Started getting visably frosty and the buds are swelling nicely. I think shell end up yeilding a good amount when shes all chopped and dried.

Looking good. I grew a few AKR last year my first autos along with cash crop from cream of the crop. I seen your first post where you said your last one hermied, mine did too, I'm pretty sure I've seen a few people have this problem with AKR. Mine hermied late so it want that big of a deal. Best of luck to you though. I'm growing some more autos this year. Got a quick one going now from Royal queen. I'll post a pic when I get the chance, if you don't mind.

Thanks johnp!

It was actually a photo period bubble bomb that hermed not the AKR although the first AKR i grew started to throw nuts right before harvest but i think it was just cuz i had waited till the last second to harvest.

Id like to see a pic of ur quick one also! That was the second auto i grew and it turned out really good. I had actually popped it just cuz it was a freebie and i wanted to get rid of it and it really surprised me. Very good smoke and finished up with some nice colors and frosty as hell!

My fault. I've got some cherry bomb autos I'm gonna pop soon. I'll get a pic up in morning though. Same scenario freebie, lol figured I'd try it out for the mean time. It's impressed me so far, the info I got was it wasn't very high in thc but that doesn't bother me much. Long as it smokes good I'm happy.

Looking good smokie. The swell is just about to happen...I would continue feeding for a bit.
