AK47 X Blueberry Auto F1 + LR #2

AK47 X Blueberry Auto F1 + LR #2

I normally grow Lowryder and Lowryder #2 but I found some AK47 X Blueberry Auto F1 Hybrids from "Lowlife" and thought I’d give them a go. So for this Grow Log I’ll be growing 6 AK47 X Blueberry and 10 Lowryder #2. I got the lowlife AK47 x Blueberry seeds from Dr Chronic if your interested.

The grow room is only small, 1mX1mX1m so I’ll be using 2x200w Blue CFL’s with the later change to 2x200w Red and the addition of 4 20w blue CFL’s as they grow, flower and the males get taken out. I’m also thinking of keeping a blueberry male just to seed a few branches of a single female.

Small pots to start with as I’m a big fan of potting on, I’ll be doing this twice, from the small to the 1.9L pots then best will go into the 9L pots. For space saving I use square pots, round ones waste so much root growing space. I’ll germinate the seeds in the small pots as I have never had a real problem with germination. I’ll use a propagator from day 1 just to make them feel like it’s spring. As soon as they have poked their heads up I’ll take them out.

I’ll be growing in Royalty Mix soil and the nutrients are Canna and Supernatural Brand.

Pic below is of seeds, pots, nutes and meters. I’ll post a pic of the grow room once I plant the seeds and get them going.

Anyone on here grown the AK47 X Blueberry Auto's before? Would be nice to share some info.

Back soon,

OK! 1st of all!

The avatar... and the sig quote are brilliant!

I just finished watching all 5 seasons of the show for the 3rd time..lol

I am a huge fan and G'Kar was once of the most complex characters in the whole show!

As far as your grow goes... you really seem to have it all fleshed out and have a super great plan! I was not aware square pots were better for roots... So, now I know and will be switching to square ones when I re-pot soon.

Your strain sounds awesome, and I just bought Blue Widow (blueberry and white widow cross), so I can NOT wait to see how your grow plays out... kudos

Good luck, I will be watching

Good luck with the grow...seems like everything is under control and you have done this before.

I've got a similar setup and am growing blueberry as well. Seems to be quite a resilient plant. I'm wanting to move to T5 lights for my next grow so i'll be watching this grow.

Thanks for the earlier rep and good luck with the grow!

ya i really wanna see the ak blueberry auto in action sounds like a nice potent auto strain but who knows.

[G'kar]

Sorry for the late posting and replies but I changed ISP’s and they told me 5 to 10 days, yeah right. I got back online on Saturday over 20 days later.

@ xelatoth, thanks for the kind words, I’m also a huge Babylon 5 fan and think G’Kar was such a great character. It’s such a shame Andreas Katsulas (the real G’Kar) died when he did. I think he was a great actor. Thanks for the reply and hope you won’t be disappointed with the grow.

@DenialTwist, thanks for the reply. Do you have a grow log of your progress, would be nice to see some pics, and yeah; I have done this a few times before. I only hope the grow goes as sweet as all my past grows.

@valleyhempz, it’s my 1st time growing this auto blueberry so I don’t know how they differ from the lowryder #2 I normally grow. Will be nice to find out tho and the stronger influence of the Blueberry should make them better (i hope). Ooh and thanks for the reply.

@All, So as I’ve not been able to update the log for a few days so I have a fair bit of info and some pics. All the BlueBerry germinated and are growing strong (See Pics) they don’t look any different from the Lowryder #2 younglings so we shall see as they start to flower. I started them on April 1st and they all popped up on the evening of the 3rd and I left them in the propagator for 4 days under one 200W-6400K CFL. I did take tome pics of them at day 4 but I wiped the memory card before copying them (Doh!)

So yesterday I decided to re-pot them to the larger pots as it’s day 10 of the grow cycle and they were looking a bit big for the small pots, bigger than normal I must say so I’m quite happy about that. But then as I’ve come to realise normally the bigger younglings are males so only time will tell. So now there all in 1.9 litre pots.

As the propagator is now free of younglings I have planted six Lowryder #2’s so I have a nice 14 day gap between them. I’ll plant more if I need to as I should know how many BlueBerry females I have by the time the LR#2’s are ready to come out the propagator and be potted on.

So Down to the pictures, the 1st one is of them in propagator tray just before the re-potting. The lid’s been off for 10 days.

Second picture, my re-potting process. I see so many people heave the younglings out and place them into a half filled pot and back fill the pot. This puts a load of stress on the plants. I just make a neat hole and pop em out and in the holes made with empty pots. Quick, simple and no stress.

Third picture is of them in the new pots.

All other pics are close-ups of the younglings.

Feel free to post comments and questions.


Will update in a few days.

Thanks smashio, I dunno why it does that but if you click on the blue writing they work ok.

EDIT:

The reason pic's wont work is because I have a # in the subject, only clicking on the blue text will work. DOH!

UPDATE:

OK all the Lowryder #2 seeds broke the surface last night so this morning I switched the grow to the Grow Room. When they were small I was using only one 200W CFL in my livingroom, now there are 12 plants I guess it's time to use two 200W and get them the hell out of my face.

I also managed to get my hands on some Diesel Ryder seeds so I might grow some of them depending on my male female ratio.

Update soon.

how many hours of light do auto flower strains need?

Hi Swa_Swa,

A quick answer to your question is anything from 6hours per day to 24hours per day.

A friend of mine grew 2 plants in her living room with NO artificial lighting, only getting about 4 hours of direct sunlight per day and she managed 20g dry in total.

I on the other hand I use 20/4 to start them off and each week I lengthen the day by one hour so at week 4 they are on 24/0. I start with one 200W CFL and then at week 2 I put them in the grow room with 400W CFL.

I think they would make a great addition to any grow and would make for a nice early harvest, start them off at the same time as your normal MJ and then by the time you want to flower your normal plants they are well on the way and in full bloom as they start to flower at about day 21 from seed.

[weren't me]

got my chair up.. love a good show!

I got the seeds from DR Chronic but they are "Lowlife seeds" So I guess you could get them for any stockists. I got them from him as he's only an hour away via public transport. When I was there he had a load of new ones, Kush X AK Auto - Kush Auto - AK Auto - Lemon Skunk Auto - White Russian Auto. Also the Joint Doctor has just released Diesel Ryder and he has them in stock now.
