Hi,

Just finsished a DWC Ak47 grow and I would like to help.

More info please.

How old are your plants and how big are they?

What Watt are those CFLS, doesn't sound like a lot to me, proabably needs more light?

Have you checked the roots for rot?

Photos would be great.

I don't think that light will work with a HPS ballest.

It is fine to run the HPS for veg though.


I think your nutes are probably a bit high. You are using 700 Scale yes.

I would keep it around (Starting and 0) 300 to 400.
Try flushing for two days then putting it back to 300.

I used Canna nutes with my Ak47 and found that it like a low dosage all the way through the grow, peaking at 950 at week 4 of flowering.

pop ur plants in ur cab.. move ur reservoir or whatever up towards light so the hps is about 18 inches or so from the top of your plant.. u should be good.:joint:
