Lowlife AK-47 150W HPS

I have been picking up a couple gallons of r/o at a time from a local fish store where the water is almost perfectly ph balanced (depends on the day sometimes .1 or .2 off) and mix it with nutes.

R/O is fine..but water from a water softener will kill your plant with salt build up...just thought id ask....how many ppm's of nutes are you feeding her?

To be completely honest i have not invested in a ppm (yes i know not good), Ive just never had a problem like this before. I upped the dose of the nutes, i just had a moment and realized that big bloom is organic which makes it very hard to burn the plant. I used 10 tablespoons for about 2.5 gallons. They recomend 4 per gallon and i have been reading around a lot of people like to exceed it a tad because it wont hurt the plant.

Leaves are still dieing off but there is defeinintly growth by both pistols and the buds themselves. Going to attempt to fanagle the plant so everything is a little bit closer to the light. Pics coming soonish..

She lives..!
Buds are thickening, lots of hairs and solid growth
..... and it wont let me upload pics ill try later.

thats good to hear...let see those pics.

Pics are a couple days old not the best quality but its what i can do for now

Also i had to leave it with no lights for 2 days.... i came back today and leaves were turning black like ive never seen before just please tell me im paranoid and its not spider mights.

no not spider mites...looks like old damaged leafs. it mite be too late to get very much bud from her. once autos get stressed thats it for them.. how many weeks is it now?

Well.... She is growing beleive it or not starting to produce crystals on leaves and buds more white hairs on more bud spots. I think im gonna just ride it out (What do i have to lose?)

Its been going since the 25th of September.

Pictures from two weekends ago shooting to have more pics sat night.

She is plumping up and white hairs are turning red

and my new bong

she lives...oh and nice bong. how many weeks is it?

Week 20 total, and im thinking week 8-9 since it showed sex.

You think its time to start flushing?

bump on the question of weather to give it one more dose of nutes or to flush? Cause idk where this plant should be at considering its life cycle was supposed to be over a while ago.

So lets face it, it wasn't the best grow ever but it is better then my last (considering that was inside of a cabinet with not so optimal lighting conditions). The top of the plant is the best its going to get for the main cola so i chopped off the top and i am letting the rest of the side branches get some extra time under the light. My two new seeds are on the way one being Flower Power and the other being Jet 47. Both are supposed to finish 60-80 days after the seed pops the soil. So lets hope they don't develop the same problems as this plant which outlived its target life by 12+ weeks. So here is the first wet weight after i trimmed. Im not shooting for a huge yeild, once the plant started having problems long ago i knew that wasn't realistic just another learning experience considering this was the first out of 3 grows that i have had to use nutes to keep the plant alive.

nice cola you got off her...you going to do a other thread for those seeds?

Yea im going to start a different one because i don't want to be reminded of this plant lol.

I weighed it again and its already down to 17 grams

Ok so total weights..... I would say 2-3 grams is unaccounted for because it was used for scientific purposes. 8.5 for one part of it and 4.2 for what i couldn't fit on the scale the first times so including the grams dedicated to testing it was prob around 15-16 grams total which is much improvement after my last grow. My seeds for my next project have arrived today but there will be some down time before then (working around apartment inspections). Once they get through my building then the games begin once again.

15-16 grams is sweet..hows the smoke or are you cureing it?
