Blimburn AK, slow upward growth? Or am I worrying for nothing?

I keep wishing I'd have put those two in a SCROG. I've got another tent on the way just for SCROG. I hope it gets here soon because I've got several stages going on in one 3x3 secret jardin DR90. Got another led coming too. Can't wait to give the girls some room to breathe!

Yeah, I think I stunted her growth in the early stages. Like I've said before this is my first grow and I'm stoked to get anything smoke able out of her. Hopefully a zip+ but she is pretty short but I think my lst is going to help a bit...hopefully anyway. Maybe I just got the ugly phenome

Hey man, if we get anything out of all this it's the satisfaction of nurturing something from seed to finish all by our lonesome. I am a vet and I've lived with taking life every single day since October 8 2005. It makes me feel so good to give life now. Just the very process of trying to give your all to these girls is rewarding enough to me. The smoke is an extra credit in my opinion.

I hear you man! I'm happu to give life to something else, even if I'm gonna chop her down and smoke her .

But everything is going well still, was looking today and kinda wondering if she is going hermi on me.

The little football shape under that second bud site has me kind of worried -_-

She's not hermied. On you.

Any pics of that Blimburn AK or word on how long it went? I'm thinking of harvesting mine in about a week at the 10-week mark and letting my three others AK autos from Speed Seeds go a week, two weeks, and three more weeks respectively. Mine looks pretty damn close, just waiting on a few more pistils to retract in and some dead fan leaves before I break out the loupe like a kid picking out candy.

Are you at 9weeks from seed? I currently am at around 9.5weeks after she popped out of dirt. I think she has at least a week to two weeks to go. All the pics in this thread are of my plant. Probably more than should but I'm a hypochondriac with my lady. You should throw up one of your AK right so we can compare!

Right now all four are on Week 9 day 2 from seed. My camera is complete shit and it wouldn't do my plants justice, but I'm about 50% cloudy, 50% clear, no amber so far on the BlimBurn AK. The other three are Speed Seeds AK and they're all at least a week behind BlimBurn even though they were planted at the same time. I've got a badly heat stressed Speed AK and a bastard phenotype AK as well that I'm going to let go a full three months so it hopefully fills out.

I will be at week 10 on wed. My trics are mostly cloudy, some pistils are starting to turn, however I still have white pistils and it appears new ones are growing. I was questioning weather to chop this week or not, just due to seedbank suggestion. But i think I am going to wait at least 1 week maybe 2-3. We will see what growth/trics/hairs look like. Yeild is looking low, but you never know until dry. I am excited for anything to come off and be smokeable!

My last Jack Herer kept poppin fresh pistils and getting weird....

I had a small light leak... locked yourself in your room in the dark for a few minutes lately?

Auto is on 24/0. Maybe that has effected my yeild, But we live and we learn ya know? I have been in there on multiple occasions testing out dark periods for when my other photos go into flower though.

Out of my four plants that are all AK auto my BlimBurn is only at nine week from seed this coming Wednesday (first pistils on February 18th), and the pistils are already receded on the tops, no new pistils. If you have new pistils I wouldn't chop. Three of my four still have new pistils and I'm letting them go at least 10 or 11 weeks, one is going 12.

wow, im retarded, didnt see was auto, ignore the light leak question.... (I would go 20/4 tho... just so they get enough dark to know the days are changing)

Yeah I though about switching to 20/4 just to introduce my two photos i have going into a light schedule, but i haven't had time between work and whatnot to find a good time where i could be there to open the door. Basically my grow is in what would be a laundry closet without the washer and dryer. I don't have exhaust quite yet but my temps stay between 77-88 depending on the day and what time, but if the doors closed during light on time it gets to mid 90s pretty quickly so i want to be home and able to open/close the door for the light off periods. On a good note though, no light leaks with the door closed.

those temps r way high, get ur vent system going, or introduce co2....

Temps are temps man. It's what I can afford to do for now. High 70s is better than 90s constantly my man. Humidity will always be an issue because elevation 9000+ is hard to deal with. Though I'm planning on throwing some dry ice in at some point, probably on my next go around on flower! But thanks for the input.

I know my camera is horrible but here you go, BlimBurn day 63 from seed. I planted all four of my plants at the same time but BlimBurn was just a beast from the beginning. I have the three Speed Seeds plants, one pheno about two weeks behind this one getting harvested probably on the 23rd and the other is going until the 30th. I'll post pictures of the Speed Seeds AK Auto when they're done.

I know it's hard to tell from the picture but it's about 4 feet from the ground including the pot. I'd be happy with 35 grams from this plant. I'm optimistic I'll get that.
