I guess I will have to pop three more of my AK48 in a pheno search! Your Aurora is a pretty one but you really lucked out on the bagseed. My one AK female was a nute hog and made medium small nugs, in fact I couldn't keep her on the same schedule as the other plants yet she never showed the same vigor yours has. My other plants I had in the same run, a bagseed skunk and Diesel just ran away from her. I quit running my AK and gave some cuts away to a friend who is still keeping her up, he is getting the same results I did but loves her anyway. Soon I will run some more of my AK seeds, some Ice and some Aurora using the first showing male to make seeds with.

I made a few changes to the grow room today and had some help from the weather gods as well. As a result, The RH is now down to 56% with a number of contributing factors.
1) Moved the Carbon air scrubber from the floor and mounted it to the top of the closet with the fan blowing to the back of the closet
2) Added a second fan to the room and placed an airwick type odor neutralizer in front of it
3) Had a storm blow through over night that finally broke the outside humidity, Outside has been running in the 60 to 90% RH range for the past few weeks. Today it was at 45% This allowed me to open the windows in the basement and with the added fans increasing the airflow exchanged old humid indoor air with fresh outdoor low humidity air.
End result 56% humidity inside the closet. Now if the fall weather is here to stay that should keep my humidity issues inline for the time remaining with this grow.
Another bonus today, My order from Attitude came today just 8 days from ordering. All the seeds intact and with all the bonus seeds. The down side, I will have to wait a few weeks before I can germ any of them and even then it will be one at a time.

Every review I've read on AK48 has been pretty positive. I would definitely try it again. I still have3 more of her seeds so I hope the rest of them do equally well when I get around to germing them.
Wish I knew what the bag seed was, but she is growing pretty well and I did breed her with a few buds from the Female bagseed as well as the AK. I also plan on breeding the bagseed pollen with the AI in another week or so once the flowers are mature enough. I also intend to use the pollen on some of the new breeds I just recieved as the go. Should keep me supplied with seeds for quite some time.
Take a peak in on my AK48 grow. I have 2-3 that seem to be same pheno of awesome and the others, while being good, are a bit behind. I just took 8 clones from the best ones so hopefully I keep this pheno going.
I would say plant them seeds!
Oh Dex,
This evening the AC kicked on in the house when I was downstairs. Grow room is upstairs in a bedroom. We have 20' vaulted ceilings in the living room. When the ac kicked on I got a small whiff of "fresh linen" from the Ona and I only have a few tbs in a quart container upstairs!
I think it works.

Harvest Night
Ok, So two nights ago, I pulled the 4 bagseed girls from the flowering closet to go into 36 hours of darkness before the harvest. And tonight I say WOW. I did over do the pollination of these girls and ended up with more seeds than i really wanted. I pulled over 100 seeds out of the 4 kids and I'm sure there is more scatted throughout some of the buds. Given that I need to go 1 at a time to keep the wife happy, I think I'll stick with fem seed going forward and to ensure pure sens
Plant 1 Was the smallest of the girls due to some nute burn early in flowering. She still produced 100g Wet weight
Plant 2 produced 84 g wet
Plant 3 Came in at 152 g wet
Plant 4 The biggest and healthiest came in at 208 wet
In total these girls produced 544 g or 19.4 ounces wet weight plus an additional 200g trim for hash or butter making latter on.
As we trimmed we separated the buds into 3 catagories
Small Bud Weighing in at 74 g
Medium Bud Weighing in at 237g
Large Bud Weighing in at 233 g
So remaining in the flowering closet right now is
1 Nirvana AK48 day 36 12/12
1 Nirvana Aurora Indica day 21 12/12
1 clone off of one bag seed girl switched to 12/12 at 6 inches tall day 6 12/12
The pics below tell the real story. All I can say is that I am more than pleased with my 1st ever harvest.

Congrats on the harvest.
well done. Now I get to focus on your AK48. Mine are now 7 days into flower.

Congrats on the harvest.
Thanks guys. DR I bought this 3 drawer wire mesh storage unit from Ikea for $15. I lined the bottom of each drawer with brown paper and designated each drawer for either small medium or top buds. I thought the unit would provide good airflow for the initial dry. I then put the shelves in a bathroom with the exhaust fan on, lights out, and shut the door. Figured that would help control odor. I plan to let the buds dry in this for the 1st week. After that into 1 quart mason jars for curing until ready.

Mid Week Update
As you know, the bag seed girls were harvested a week ago today. My intent was to pollinate a few selected bud sites on these girls, but somehow most buds have seed in them. Some more than others, but most are seeded. i was very careful when painted the selected bud site, so the best I can guess is that pollen got into the AC system and spread from the male room to the female room.
Harvested a week ago, I put the smallest buds in jar on Monday, the medium bud on Tuesday and the top buds went in the jar yesterday. I have been burping the jars once or twice a day from 30 to 60 minutes each time.
Group shots of the AI, AK48 and bagseed clone
AK48 42 days 12/12 Should be ready to harvest this week, but will need to go one more week as I will be out of town on vacation all week. Cant wait to come home and see the change. I haven't had the opportunity to go a whole week with out checking in on the girls. this close to harvest, I imagine it will be like a kid on xmas when I open the tent after not seeing her for 8 days.
AI 27 days 12/12

Weekend update
First of all I realized the images I was uploading were extremely large and of marginal quality. So I went out and bought a new camera and figured out how to make the images more web friendly. This should help any of you that do not have high speed internet
As you know, I went away on vacation this past week and was very excited to come home and see the AK after being away for 8 days
Unfortunately, my daughter who promised to take care of the girls while I was gone totally neglected them leaving them go for 8 days with no water.
The AI and the bag seed clone did ok with this as they were in traditional pots and did not dry out
The AK48 did not handle the lack of water quite as well since she is in an airpot and they dry out very fast. Most of the fan leaves are toast at this point, but I think it will recover for the last week or 2 before harvest.
I did trim all the dead fan leaves and fed with plenty of water. She is close to being complete as it is 50 days 12/12, but I think if she perks up she can go another week or 2 as very little amber trichs at this point. If she doesn't perk up over the weekend, I guess we will call it a harvest and take what we can get
A few current bud shots
Lastly, I went out and bought a bag of happy frog and germinated my next project. Green House Seeds Hawaiian Snow I'm really excited about growing her as I have heard good things about this sativa dominant strain. Once she pops, I'll start a new journal featuring her . I didn't find a lot of journals documenting this variety, so perhaps I can contribute.

The rest are looking great though!

Thanks GT. The Hawaiian SNow is a long flowering sativa where it has an advertised flowering time of 12 to 13 weeks. Although I have seen some journals where it has taken even longer.
Oh yeah, congrats on the new job. Hope it works out really well for you

Mini Update on the AK48
Its been 48 hours since discovering the AK48 had dried out. I have trimmed all the fan leaves since the discovery and she seems to be rebounding well. The Trichs are mostly cloudy with little to no amber. I would have expected her to be ready by now is they advertise 48 days flowering and we are at 52 days right now. My guess is there is another week or 2 left in her at this point. I still may take it sooner though if the buds don't resume putting on weight over the next few days
