Bubblelicious/AK-48 grow

raf33

hi guys, how are you.
I`ve just started my new grow and thought it`d be nice to keep a journal.
I`m going to grow in soil and keep it as organic as possible. My setup is:
Soil: Plagron Light-mix with perlite (pH in H2O 5,5-6,5; NPK 12-14-24[kg/m3-1,5, bag 15 kg]; organic substances 79,6%) - I went for light mix cos it gives me more control over nutes.
Light: I use 200W CFL Eco-Light for veg and 400W HPS for flowering.
Nutrients: for veg - Biobizz Bio-grow 8-2-6; for flowering Biobizz Bio-bloom 2-6-3,5 + dr.Hornby BigBud 0-1-4 from the 3rd week of flowering.
As for the water I like to keep its pH around 6.8-6.6.
And finally what I`m going to grow: av got 5 Bubblelicious seeds and 5 AK-48 from NIRVANA.I hope for 2 female plants of each type.
I`d like to take this opportunity to ask for tips (if any) and suggestions from people who grew these strains.
I hope to be able to upload some pix of germinated seeds tomorrow.
so...off we go take care guys.

sweeeeeeeeet...i have always wanted to see AK-48. i grew the strain outdoors for my first grow..did not make it to harvest tho, someone came and chopped them about 5-6 weeks before harvest. they smelled amazing though im sure you will enjoy

Raf:

Sounds like a cool grow...I'll be looking forward to the Journal!

By the way....you've got another weed growing there too...and you don't want this one!

It is this weed here, sitting just to the right of your bag of soil in the pic above.:

It is called "Stinky Bob", and is not native to the US. It has been around several years now, and is nearly impossible to stop once it gets a foothold in your yard.

Yank that sucker!

They pull out easily, but also drop seed by the jillions...I've been trying to get a handle on them around our place for a couple months now...

Thank you very much guys, I`m also looking forward to this grow.Heard a lot of good things about both strains and smoked Bubblelicious few times and it was one of the best smokes ever...very sweet and beautiful high.I`ll update journal tomorrow as 10 out of 10 seeds have already germinated (around 28h after seeded so NIRVANA rules!)
ISO, I know what you mean with that weed...it`s conquering my garden with amazing speed.I liked its flowers initially but not any more...it`s evil...I sprayed it generously with some kind of weeds killer and thought it was over but not really...it recovered just after a week...and then became even bigger...I wished MJ grew like this
Guys thanks a lot for encouragement and keep your eyes opened...all update
take care.

hi guys,how are you.
just a quick update. 10 out of 10 seeds have germinated successfully and they look fine.you can see them having their first sunbath on that picture. I like giving my plants natural light (especially sunlight) as often as possible in their early days.I want to keep them in veg for around 4-5 weeks.next update in a week time.take care.

raf33,
10 out of 10 way to go. which technique did you use to germinate those seeds.

raf33

I always keep seeds for 24h in water, lid covered in a dark place with temp around 59-64.4F [15-18C].I don`t want them to germinate but just soak water.sometimes they`re in a rush and sprout quickly so need to be gentle while removing from water into soil, 5mm deep and always tap after filling up then I spray soil around with water every now and then just to keep it moist with temp 80.6-82.4F and light 24/7. and then you go...in 3 years time never had a single problem with germinating seeds up to 6 month old after delivered from seedbank. I also select seeds for as regular as possible ones first, what makes usually 5 seeds.but even the second lot is rather no bother.most problems I get is from 2nd to 4th leaf.
thx

time for a quick update.plants are 2 weeks old now and in new pots.look strong,nice and healthy.space is extremely limited as you can see, so some plants got bigger pots and some smaller.now they start 5-6 weeks journey till I start flowering them.not much is going to happen in meantime am afraid.I`ll keep them with light 24h for another week so to give them time to root well. then light turns to 18/6. I hope they will show sex around 3rd-4th week of veg so I could remove males and concentrate on females.I`d like to top them and work around them so to get as many strong branches as possible and let them grow through the screen then.again,space is my limit.that`s way I decided for Indica-Indica/Sativa plants as they don`t grow high and work nice with screen.I`ll update randomly on the progress.in the meantime I`ll try to figure out how to entertain you guys
