I dare say more people have access to QWET than a rosin press!
Monday morning and I have pics for the update this morning and then off to see what y'all did this weekend. All my pics are from yesterday as it was time to water this morning. I haven't mentioned nutes lately so here's what I used.
The flowering AK and Sour G have had high runoff (around +500), so I'm scaling back the nutes as I'm also only giving them a gallon each without much runoff. Since I remember reading that you stop silica shortly before harvest, into a gallon went the following:
3ml cal/mag+
2tbs Grow Big
2tbs Terpinator
The AK and Sour G clones got:
½tsp Armor Si
3ml cal/mag+
1tsp Grow Big
and the Blue Treacle Freacle (day 23...I looked it up!) got 50% dilution of that. As I mentioned, I'm tossing out the Amphetamine Auto.
On to the pics! Let's start with the updated cloninator. I got some 360º micro sprayers and some PVC and created this:
And since the clones were in desperate need of a haircut (and still are really), I took four cuttings from each. Three of each got scraped, stripped, dipped in clonex gel, and put in the cloninator. I cut (but did not split) the bottoms at 45º. They're getting sprayed 24/7 as I don't have a timer for the pump anymore as it's in use for the Mars 300. It's got a 23w 6500K CFL about a foot above it, also 24/7.
I took the fourth cutting and did almost the same as the rest (I didn't scrape), except I dipped it in Dip'n Grow (15:1 dilution for 5 seconds) before putting it in ProMix HP soaked in distilled water. I sprayed the leaves and put a cup on top for the first couple of days and put them next to the bucket. No temp control (mid 60s to low 80s). I'll start shifting the dome off Wednesday morning.
As promised last week, on to the AK-47 in flower...
Here it is, with a fade going on:
Here is the left middle branch in isolation:
It's hard to tell until you get in there (and get very sticky), but that big thing is made up of a bunch of individual smaller buds growing out of the main stem. Here are a couple of pics where I've pulled them back:
Per my conversation a while back with
@Derbybud, I think that this plant does not do big colas (at least not for me) as the 59-top mother was also a bunch of smaller nugs. Leaving this one to grow up untrained seems to have bunched them all up, leaving it prone to mold because it's so dense in there. When I flower the 1.1.1.1.1 version I will train it closer to the one I flowered this spring.
I didn't defol (as
@Amy Gardner and
@bobrown14 said I shouldn't), so what I did was pull the buds down and away from the main branch to create some air flow. I also found some sort of poop in there! Caterpillar I'm guessing from the hole in the adjoining leaf.
I'll probably have to do that every day as they don't stay in that position, but it's just for a week or so. I cut off anything suspicious and put it in the freezer with the fusarium buds from Sour G. It's a mold-fest in there
.
That's what I've got this morning, now off to see what you've got. Settling in for the week ahead...
.
doesn’t matter if you don’t get them all everyday, over every few days or so they’ll all get a little
. Still here killing clones and carrying plants 
. Got 8 more to kill that I just started yesterday...it's like you never left.
. I'll just have to wing it on my own.
. Rather than put an ice pack in I've been dumping in a glass of ice twice a day. I was thinking that an ice pack in that little water was making it too cold.
