| diesel ryder and auto AK47 questions
i ordered Diesel Ryder, Auto AK-47, and Auto Blueberry from drchronic and have a few questions about these strains. i havent been able to find and greatly detailed grow threads on these strains so if you know of any please post a link.
im going to grow these in 4.5'x4.5'x7' hydro huts with 1000W HPS in each hut with a carbon scrubber inside each grow closet and a 200+ CFM fan. the closet is about 142 cubic feet so it would replace the air in the closet in less then a minute. from what i've read the diesel ryder and auto ak47 are VERY strong smelling plants so i wanted to know if this would be sufficient air filtration? if not i may also set up another bigger scrubber outside the grow closets in my grow room to further filter any smell that may escape from the closets. i will be using black gold soil and the botanicare line of nutrients. i plan on flushing the plants for the last 2-3 waterings diesel ryder
from what i read the diesel gets to about 18 inches tall without too much side branching and can yield as high as 2.5oz each with ideal conditions. i am going to grow them in 5L pots as recommended and try and put 30 diesels in the closet. i would love to hit 2.5oz per plant but would still be happy with anything over 1.75oz each. i have seen people getting 1.25oz using a 400w HPS so i dont think it should be to hard to achieve those numbers or better since im using 1000w. i know that 30 plants in 20 square feet may seem tight but thats why i chose diesel ryder for its main cola growth pattern and also since it doesnt have much branching. worst case i would do some mild pruning of the lower leaves when the plant has become more established and can afford to have them cut down. auto ak47
these seem to get taller then diesel so i may only go with 18 or so plants in the ak47 closet. other then the plants everything else will be the same as the diesel. the description of these says they are slightly taller and and large side branches as is common with ak47. i decided to give them a try to see how i like the smoke and to see the final yield. when the ak and diesel are done growing im going to judge which smoke a like more and also what yielded better. i may end up doing away with the ak after my first grow as im pretty sure the diesel will yield quite better. automatic blueberry
these will also be getting their own closet with the same equipment as the other strains. i still have more research to do on the strain so i dont know how many i can fit in the closet. i've also read that the blueberry is very sensative to nute burn so im going to not give them and nutes for the first few weeks and then supply them at 1/2 the recommended strength for the rest of flowering.
