I only want one plant for my tent but i have a Humboldt seeds Blue Dream and a Serious seeds AK popped. Which one would you keep ?


Thanks.
 
The AK47 no doubt IMHO. If you want a lot of decent bud, the blue dream. If you want 3 or so oz of one hit quit, keep the AK47 and make sure you're carbon filter is working.

The AK might turn out male yet. I had 2 males out of this batch of feminized seeds. This is my last AK seed, it was either risk this and back it up with the Blue Dream or shell out for some more seeds because i don't rate anything else i have for a one plant grow.
Blue dream gets good reviews, it's a best seller at attitude, it was worth asking to see what you all think if only to put my mind at rest.

I do wide ass LST's so no room for another plant really. I'm trying to keep it low maintenance so i picked one plant and lots of training over watering 4 smaller plants with less training. I hand water in coco, i can't grow in soil.

This is the last AK i grew out of this batch. It is AK i'm told by serious. I wasn't sure after finding males.




Thanks for your help guys.

The AK was a male. So Blue dream left but it's not without problems. It has a habit of throwing out nodes with 4 leaves and 4 stems trying to grow. It seems like every so often something happens to the tip and 2 growing points merge together. The stem becomes flattened after this point and it starts putting out 6 leaves and 6 stems per node. I've topped one side shoot with this problem and i'll replace it with another normal shoot near by but it looks like there might be another 2 turning, i'll have to keep an eye out.
I've had flat stems before on Satori but they were all flat. A couple of those plants developed these merged tips and it ruined the bud in the tip of those buds. So i know i can't let them continue because it's a waste of energy. It's still early on at the moment so i can get away with chopping some faulty branches.






Flat stem,



Side profile of the same internode.



Crazy merged tip.





This is reason to not grow this strain again sadly, it might be alright if you have more plants to find a better pheno. It's a shame because apart from this is seems alright, Satori was the same.

Got that flat stem thing on a dp blueberry..it later hermed..must be a somewhat common thing with blueberry and therefore possibly hybrids

Ugh that's bad news man. I chopped another one off tonight. There's 2 more that i think i might take off now instead of wasting time. I think these dodgy stems have been problematic for a while so i hope the others will stay alright.
I found an old pic of Satori, this is what happens when they flower.
