Happy Monday update everyone! I hope your weekend went well and your plants are thriving. It's time to document the last two days here so let's begin with harvest of the last of the Los Angeles 9: the AK-47 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.
This AK-47 from 420 is a sixth generation clone (seventh gen from seed, originally planted in May 2017). They list it as a 35% Indica / 65% Sativa hybrid, which is one of the reasons I keep it in rotation, as my wife is a sativa leaner herself. This plant was originally part of the Vulx comparison grow, but since that didn't work out I flowered this non-Vulx version over the summer. Normally I wouldn't have flowered two of these just a month apart. This one went into soil having rooted in water, with a total of 189 days from planting.
Let's take a look at the chop on Saturday after puppy training class:
I now do all my washing and rinsing in the shade, as the back of my neck has been burned so many times I've lost some sensation in the skin
. Here are the flowers:
The bones:
The wash water:
I took a nap while the buds drip-dried and when I woke up I found a three-person team was just finishing pulling the fans off.
The bud rot, trimmed inside. Then I hung them outside and sprayed them with straight 3% H2O2 before hanging them in the tent:
And here they are hanging in the tent:
The RH has
not been cooperating, and everything I burp gets
more moist rather than less, making it tough to get buds into jars. It actually rained for about 3 minutes this morning while I was cloning!
Speaking of cloning, it was time to create mother plants from this collection:
I had won some 1 gallon velcro cloth pots from Geopot that I thought I would never use. Never say never! I transplanted four but here are pics of the DTF:
Sorry
@Derbybud, I intentionally skipped the Mykos this time as I don't
want to encourage root growth in these:
From the left: IIP, DTF, Candida short, Candida tall.
Missing from this collection is Sour G, still inside rooting on the heat mat, and the next gen of AK-47. The only cutting I had from my AK didn't make it, so I got some cuttings yesterday from my buddy who took the Vulx version. I gave him DTF and IIP solo cup clones and he gave me a tub of monstercrop AKs. This morning I put them in cups, three in each:
I sprayed them with diluted H2O2 to try to keep the flowers from rotting.
And last night I discovered I had only one DDA seed (Dark Devil Auto), so I dropped it and an Amnesia Haze auto into bowls. They sank this morning after a light bump from an eraser. I have two 5 gallon pots with a mix of new and recycled ProMix HP waiting for these when they sprout from the peat pots in a few days. I've decided not to wait for tap roots any more. They get planted as soon as I see green.
And I just found out I have some more DDA seeds on their way, so I will drop another as soon as they get here and plant both in the same pot. The DDAs tend not to take up much room.
That was my weekend! I need to go find out how yours went...
.
Another beautiful harvest!
