Nirvana AK48 - 210W CFL Grow

Hey virago420, nice grow my friend. It sure is nice smoking what you grow and the satisfaction you get with it. :thumbsup:

 

UrBigBuddie - Thanks for the props bro! It really does mean alot to me having you veterans of GK stopping by and commenting on my little micro grow. And yes these AK's are definately stinky, but in a good way :thumbsup:


Mrgreenjeans - Thanks for stopping by! Yes it is nice smoking your own. Unfortunately Im having anxiety issues again and just cant seem to smoke anymore without freaking out . I wish the hell I knew why its happening.


Well I took a look at the trichs again this morning and there just isnt that many amber so I dont really think they are ready. No sense in cutting them early and not letting them reach their full potential so I dont think the harvest will be coming this weekend afterall. Ive got a good 4 grams from what I cut last week to smoke on, and some other crap commercial to hold us over until the time is right. They havent yellowed hardly at all so no worries about being able to keep them going until their prime. Peace

 

Won't be long and your be smoking so killer bud . By the way Great Job with cfl's-Bud

 

Hey V I was wondering how you were so ahead me. Mine are gonna probably go another 10 days. Just a few amber here and there on a couple of them, the rest 50/50 clear to cloudy.

 

End of week 8 flower


HeadCase - Thanks bro! Cant wait to be smoking some after its cured.


stickyicky24 - Mine are roughly 80% cloudy / 20% clear with a few amber. Some have more amber than others. I took one leaf that had alot of amber and got scared Didnt wanna miss my target range.


Okay folks heres the end of week 8 flower! Getting really close now. Now for the pics.





Plant 1





Plant 2

And of course the budshots











Well there you have it some sweet CFL buddage. I hope youve all enjoyed the show. The next update will be harvest time. Peace out

 

it's almost time!

Yeah, nice job virago! :thumbsup:


You wouldn't know it was flowered w/cfls by looking at it.


Enjoy the fruits of your labor! :redbong:

 

Thanks alot MrD. I really cant believe how well a person can grow with CFL's. Its pretty amazing. Definately glad I gave it a try. Only thing is now I'm totally addicted Peace

 

JINKIES V!!!


Nicely done, esp with the CFL's! Those buds look tight, too!


Can't wait to see your harvest pics...


Peace

paranoia did destroya

HaHa, that's how I was back in my tripping days.....if you weren't trippin' with me, you were 'out of the circle'

 

Bring on the HPS!

 

Harvested plant 2


Well I hope I didnt disappoint anyone but I chopped plant 2 last night. I refuse to go buy again. Im going to flower the other two until this weekend and then they will get the axe. Ive got plant 2 in the veg cab, hoping to reveg it. I dont know if trichome production is pheno dependent or if it was because this plant was older, but it was far frostier than the other two. Now for the pics!











There you go. No idea what dry weight will be. And I didnt weigh it wet because of all the stem left on for hanging them. Ill post up dry weights when the time comes. Peace out

 

Viragro not sure why anyone would be disappointed??? But it looks good man I figued mine would have been chopped by now since they state 7-8 weeks but I'm going by trichs and thinking another 7-10 days or so. They look real nice tho good shit!!:thumbsup: As far as being frosty mine had a ton a variety too. Of the 5 AK's if you were a stranger coming off the street you would think it was 5 different strains. But that variety is kinda nice to have if you are looking for one to hang on to. Anyway cant wait to see the others come down and make sure you post final numbers. I'm curious to know the difference with CFL and HPS.

 

AK48. Great JOB.....

Viragro not sure why anyone would be disappointed???

 

I said disappointed because I told everyone I was going to be patient and harvest when they were ready. Well I think I jumped the gun a bit. I couldnt take it anymore and didnt want to have to go out and buy some more. The test buds were AWESOME, so this stuff should be great as well. Thanks for the compliments everyone. Stay tuned for the rest of the harvest and a dry weight on it all. Peace

 

Good job Virago ! Let me know how it smoke after the cure.

 

The time has come!


Mrgreenjeans - Will do for sure dude!


Alright folks the time has come. I took a look at the trichs today and there were plenty of amber. And going by how the first round of buds were I was completely satisfied so no worries as to whether or not it will be potent enough. So I went ahead and cut the other two plants today as Im going to be very busy the next few days. So without further ado here are the pics!





Plant 1





Plant 3


Heres a couple of trimmed buds








And heres the full harvest hanging to dry





And there you have it. Ill post up the total weight when they have all dried. Im still completely amazed at what can be done with CFL's. All of the buds are really pretty dense with exception of the popcorn buds that were below the canopy. And really they arent all that bad. Anyone have a prediction as to what I might yield? Im still hoping for a least 2 oz, and I dont think thats totally out of the question. Thanks again for all the help that everyone has offered me along the way! Peace out GK! assit:
