My First Time: AK47 & Gold Bar Kush
- Thread starter
- #322
I took a few pics of GBK getting ready for "freezer camp". 
There was 25.28oz packed up into gallon Ziplock bags and put in the bottom of the freezer to make oil later.
It grew some good roots. This is what I found hanging out the bottom of the 10 gallon pot.
I could even pick it up by the trunk.
I did leave just a little bit of green there just in case any other suggestions come in. I unplugged the lights and fans and left it in the tent.
There are also 2 clones of GBK in the veg tent and 3 more in the bubble cloner. Should I expect that they will be male also or take a chance and grow one out just in case it was stress that made this "fem" seed switch teams?

Columbian Gold got her top taken off tonight and put in center position of the bubble cloner. C99 wanted more restraints added while
I was in the tent.
After the other girls got their attention and hearing about what happened to GBK, AK47 wanted to put on a fashion show. She hopes you'll enjoy.

The clones will also be male. GBK never had any real stress, he had a good life.
AK47 is looking VERY frosty - From here, the trichomes look half clear and half amber. It's getting close to harvest time.

I wondered if the couple of times that the house got cold while I was away a few days or not being able to spread out counted as enough stress to worry about. Maybe I worried too much.
I think I see a mix of cloudy and clear on AK47. I'll take a better look later this evening to see if I can find any amber. In other peoples pics I have a hard time picking out amber unless its pretty dark amber. I'd love to harvest tonight since my evenings will be getting busier starting tomorrow, but waiting for some more swelling isn't a problem. I'm open to recommendations.
I'm wanting to drop a couple more seeds soon also. Maybe another GBK. This one smelled like an exotic mint when I cut him down. I'd love to see how the female smells and want to grow something medicinal.

Thanks Jurf. I'm getting very excited and looking forward to trying it. So far I have only sampled a small piece and it was a great experience.
I'm sure the lights aren't the best but they seem like they are ok and fit the budget nicely. I'll be assembling another set tomorrow. I ran low on heat shrink and wire so had to wait on it to get here.

Was it the first time you ever smoked pot? I saw on your first post in this journal you said you've only smoked tobacco, not sure if thats changed since or what. And is the pot purely recreational?
I've smoked a hell of a lot of weed and ended up taking a 2 year break. Slowly seeping back into my old ways now though haha. No medical purpose here though. Just personal fulfillment. God I seriously love weed. I need to put a lot of effort into controlling and neutralising my addictive tendencies though hahahaha.. I shouldnt be laughing. things can get pretty bad actually lol

I've only smoked tobacco except for the one small sample of weed a couple weeks ago.
I still have several things motivating me. I want to feel good. I've had a bit of a hard life in some ways like being a mechanic on heavy equipment for over a decade. That'll give you plenty of aches and pains. I go through spells of not being able to motivate myself to do much outside of work, which is probably depression. I have a desk job now but the mental stress and extreme mood swings of the boss aren't easy to deal with. I've been fired five times before lunch for doing what I was told by him to do. Lol. Then we can talk about the unexpected marital problems and financial stress that followed when the ex left unannounced six years ago with all the cash, leaving me with all the bills 3 months behind and over 30k in credit card debt, and 5 dollars in the bank. I found credit cards in my name I never knew I had. Anyway, life has sucked for me in a lot of ways for many years and I'm ready for some physical and mental relief. I'll have the finances in good shape when I finish paying off the alimony later this year (3 years early). I'm also concerned about medical problems in my family the past several years including cancer, MS, autism, another with cancer, etc. and want to be ready with a supply of meds that work.

Just caught up, worth the read, and great job on the entire set up. Plants are showing the results of your work for you. Subbed up and looking forward to following your journal.

Thanks for taking the time to read through. Glad to have you join in.
AK47 is a great choice for motivating, git-er-done, weed.
Cannabis activates Endo-Cannabinoid System(ECS) receptors in your body. (Guess what plant that system was named after.) Research over the last few decades has shown that the ECS is the major signalling system for the healing and maintenance processes within your body. ECS CB1 and CB2 receptors at the nerve synapses actually cause nerve signals such as PAIN to be blocked - this is how opiods and synthetic opiods and cannabis work to block pain. Other ECS receptor locations affect mood and euphoria - this is how SSRI psych meds and cannabis elevate moods. Other ECS receptors mediate programmed cell death of cancer cells - this is how the-miracle-anti-cancer-drug-science-has-not-invented-yet and cannabis kill cancer cells. The list goes on, but I forget it, and you get the point. Cannabis is the NUMBER ONE dietary supplement / miracle drug that you can take to optimize your health. If the government really wanted to keep people healthy, the recommended Daily Allowance of cannabis would be part of the labelling of all foods - it is more vital to health than Vitamins A & D.
Those little test smokes have already done a little bit to make you a healthier you. Keep up your good health.
I'm glad you have a harvest soon. I'm really bummed out about losing Gold Bar Kush. She was going to be a beautiful plant in flower - but he couldn't give your body what it needs. Doesn't have enough of the right stuff. The heartbreak of a plant being male is why I do mostly feminized seeds. I am 0 for 4 on regular seeds this grow and 7 for 7 on feminized seeds - I like the feminized seeds for small growing like we do

Thanks Rad. I came close to taking another sample tonight.
I'm looking forward to harvest and a more consistently happy outlook.
The first time I heard about ecs receptors was five years ago from a hot blonde nurse I was dating. I kinda thought she had enjoyed cannabis a little too much and never thought too much about her saying our bodies had receptors for cannabis. It was hard to think of very much around her. Our first date was 14 hours in a hotel room and I was allowed two half hour naps to recharge. She is a sweet lady and smarter than a hot blonde nurse should be.
I was a little disappointed at GBK also, but not like I was over finding out that AK47 was an auto. I think GBK would have filled the tent to the top and been amazing. At least I can collect some pollen and do a few little experiments. Next time I'll try to remember my lesson and put a clone in flower to make sure it is fem.
Both seeds this run were not what they were supposed to be. AK47 was supposed to be a fem photo. They got it half right. GBK was supposed to be a fem photo and they got it half right also. Both were free seeds from GYO.
Maybe the next ones will be better. C99 is supposed to be a fem photo and Columbian Gold is a reg seed. I'm studying my inventory list again trying to decide which one is next. Maybe AK48 and Sweet Dreams.

Jesus fucking christ man. Sorry for the language but holy mary. I'm sitting here feeling all kinds of sympathy. I really hope life starts looking good for you soon man. Its tough enough to hear of another mans hardships, let alone live through them. Glad to hear you're still trooping though. Must be one tough bastard.
ANd hey dude, Not sure why you're disappointed about the auto. If you ask me, the sooner you get your first harvest, the better! Im on my first grow and you can bet your ass I chose an auto intentionally haha. Auto White Widow. I seriously can't wait. Im on about day 28 now. or 27 I keep forgetting.

Thanks Jurf. The one thing that got me through when I didn't think I could was knowing my kids need me and love me.
I was disappointed about the auto but not any more. It's getting close to harvest and I appreciate it being an auto now, except I can't take clones for the next harvest. I've heard white widow is good. I have some white castle (white widow x ice) to run at some point.
Most of the stuff sold as "White Widow" is not truly white widow. The old school White Widow (now Black Widow sold by Mr Nice) is sometimes good but mostly nothing special. The children are genetic crosses between 2 specific plants. To get the award winning 'cut' one needs to plants 5-10 seeds and then clone the heck out of the phenome that is 'the good stuff.' The famous strain is not very stable. By contrast 5 AK47 seeds will yield 5 very similar plants.
Anyone who consumes cannabis is gaining medicinal value. The cannabinoids communicate with your ECS and initiate healing anywhere it's needed, whether you intend such or not. This is what distinguishes cannabis from every other recreational "drug" out there. We all have stressed endocannabinoid systems, just from living on this planet under our current social conditions, and that makes all of us patients.

Re: My First Time - AK47 & Gold Bar Kush
Although, how do they reproduce so many autos if they can't take a mother. Im not sure what dutch passion are doing, but i feel happy to put my faith in them
