AK 48 SGROG FFOF, 400 watts CFL - FINAL WEIGHTS

#582345 - 08/30/11 09:17 PM (13 years, 3 months ago)

Day 45

This will be my last AK 48 grow, and my last grow for awhile. This shit can be stressful :bomb:

I using Fox Farm Ocean Forest cut with 30% perlite and 20% vermiculite.
I have 4 AK 48 clones, 2 each in a 5 gallon Deck Planter
They were under 24 hrs of light for about 1.5 months
They are being fed with FF Tiger Bloom, Grow Big, and Big Bloom
They were put under the screen on the 27th
I'm watering with RO water
I'm using drops to test pH (threw my pH meter against the wall during my last grow) oops! :shrug:

Flowering under 6, 68 watt CFLs 3500K 408 watts total

The 4 ladies are showing signs of stress. The new growth was getting very light in color. I believe happened for a few reasons

1. They were a good 3-4 inches above the screen when I put them in. The screen is already full. I believe I put them through some stress with all that training and pruning.

2. They were hungry... I've been having problems with the RO water I am purchasing. The pH is in the 4-5 range. I mentioned this to the store owner, and he said it's because the tap water is coming out hot at 92-94 degrees. It had always been right around 7 before. Unfortunatly, I found this out by watering my ladies with it unchecked. I watered with a pH of 4.7 and 1 hour later, my plants looked very sad. I rewatered with pH corrected water, and all was good. Like a dumb ass, I did this 2 waterings in a row! Doing so, I flush a lot of nutes out of the soil.

They got a good feeding yesterday
2 tsp of Grow Big
2 tsp of Tiger Bloom
3 tsp of Big Bloom

3. A change in heat. My veg area is constantly in the mid 70's. My flowering cab hovers from low 80's to mid 80's. It sometimes reaches the upper.

4. Change in light temp. I vegged in about 50/50 CFL spectrum 5000K/3500K Maybe the sudden jump to 100% has something to do with it.

I'm keeping a close eye on them to see if they worsen or start to recover.

Anyways, next pics will be week end of week 1 of flowering. Hope you enjoy.

It looks like it's going to be another Gravity Bong type day...
