Blue Cheese White Widow and Auto Ak-47

I am growing three plants Blue Cheese, Auto Ak-47 and White Widow and originally a G bomb all feminized.

I had these plants growing for a week but before I could get my camera running disaster struck.

A small bird flew into my grow room and decided it would make a meal out of my plants.

It ate my G bomb all the way to the dirt and left my 47 and blue cheese with no leaves only a short chewed stem.

The bird was passed out on my middle pot until I chassed it out of the room :-x

I then started to germ my White widow to replace my G bomb cause it was toast and prayed the other two would regrow.

I kept the same strict light and water shecdule I started them on and now they are doing great.

Here are some pic's about a week after they started growing tips back.

First two are the Auto AK-47 second is the Blue Cheese and third is the White widow

I have also been using worms and worm shit seems to be working pretty well, helps drainage as well as they make their holes.

I am also using a T5 high output red spectrum FL light for veg, and for flowering the auto 47. starting them on very well diluted nutes.

after a few more feedings. I will start the Auto 47 on bloom nutes, its already starting to smell but I see no pistils yet.

So far the best looking plant is the Blue cheese and the color is getting more purple as time goes on.

Here are some more photos just a few days older than the last.

First two are Ak-47 second two are Blue cheese and the last one is White Widow.

Well just transplanted my plant 2 days ago. I was shocked at the size of my roots when i pulled the plant out.

It totally caught my off gaurd since I have always transplanted plants around this size before and never had that much growth.

I foolishly did not take account for how fast these auto flowering plants can grow.

I also did use nutes through the course of the past couple weeks and I did notice a great difference of the growth before and after I started to feed them.

Alot of people say theres no need for nutes on auto flowering strains I totally disagree. They still need fed like any other plant and I could tell the difference when my plant responded to them.

I will now begin feeding my 47 bloom nutes.

Also got my first pistils today just on the top. Smelling really good too.

Here are some pic's first two Auto 47's little pistils, third is blue cheese, fourth is White Widow

Its been about three days since sex showed. every new growth towards the top has bud sites.

My biggest problem has been getting light under the auto 47.

Since its concentrating on buds it hasnt been stretching out like it should and all the leaves are compacted in a small area.

So i slotted a piece of poster board and put it under the plant. works great as a reflector and now I get atleas three times the ammount of light underneath now.

This is the big disadvantage of my plant being eaten, since I had no controll of its veg state it is now flowering too early in my mind, the plant isnt well developed but its trying.

My blue cheese was wilting and looking rather unhappy yesterday so I went ahead and transplanted. It is now looking great with the leaves erected upwards.

The beefiest plant is the White Widow, it is vegging very well and branching out nicely.

Here are some pic's of the auto-47

Another update... Auto 47 is starting to branch out. It has been popping out new pistils almost every day.

Now the top is growing several sets of branches at once. I diluted my bloom nutes at about 1/3 of what it said on the label and so far no nute burns.

The very first leaves are a little yellow at the tips but I expect that is due to the flowering.

I transplanted both my White Widow and Blue Cheese the other day and fed all of my plants today.

This White WIdow is in an 8" shallow pot.

My Blue cheese is now what I expect to be her final transplant... depending how big it gets. Its in a 5 gallon bucket and both seemed to show little transplant stress.

I like to do several transplants throughout the growth. I try to let it go on as long as possible in one pot while avoiding the roots knotting up.

I've always done this and seem to get much shorter internodes by doing this.

It seems to condition the plant by restricitng its space but over done and your roots turn into a big knotted ball and can cause serious problems.

Ive found taking a pocket knife and running it from top to bottom very gently..

only cutting a few roots here and there can cause new growth which will find the new soil you just transplanted it in.

Otherwise the transplant could possibly do no good at all and the roots get more and more bound up.

Heres some pic's

Well... bird got in again and sat on my blue cheese... bent it over and but a few holes in the leaves but didn't recieve much damage.

These stress seemed to change the color of my plant.... what was hot pink is now a lemon yellow... But it isnt a sick yellow. Been sticking to my routine, plants have been taking more feedings.

Just fed plants today. They are continually needing more water as time goes on... been feeding them almost every two days.

Auto 47 has got buds running from the lowest branches all the way to the top. Hoping to see the cola form, the other two are about ready to start on 12/12.

I think ill take a clone or two from each plant soon then I will begin flowering them.

Heres a side shot of the auto-47




Heres a shot of all three, you can see how I use the poster boards as reflectors. I have one box fan on each side of my lights.

Well we are rolling on day 21 of my ak-47's flowering.

It has been fattening up much more rapidly the past three days which makes me curious.

Three days ago I put all my plants on a 12/12 light cycle.

I know im not suppose to on autos but I really have no choice seeing I only have one grow room with no way to seperate it.

I don't know if its the time schedule change or if it's just getting closer to finishing but I have noticed a good change the past three days.

Just fed all three today and the buds are starting to grow together =)

Here are some pics

First two are my auto-ak-47 third is Blue Cheese and last is White Widow

Hey

Took me a few days but here I am checking out your plants.

Looking really good man, I'm jealous. I messed mine up big time so I don't think there's much danger of my 1k out performing your girls with your floros.

I have about 3 weeks left and unless I get some miracle I think you'll easily get more yield.

Looks really nice....I should've thought about using floros instead of dropping so much cash, but live and learn.

peace

Wow you think I will end up yielding more? your plants look nice and fat and really other than some leaves I thought they looked great.

Well thanks! I'm being hard on myself a little maybe. The buds are pretty dense on most of them.....even if they are on the short side.

yours are flawless....I should maybe look more closely at what you've done with floros

I do have three full weeks left so with a little luck and no more heat damage I guess I could still finish nice.

Good luck and I'll be back to see those pics!

Stating to get orange hairs on the top. I am also putting black lights on it during what was its dark cycle... just for fun I guess.

I havent done my research on what spectrum the blacklights hit exactly but I see no way its going to effect my plant negatively.

i would be cautious with the black light, doesnt seem like a good idea to me, could cause hermies. I have no backing on this, just my gut feeling.
