How to grow AK Auto cannabis seeds in Indoor

Growing Stages Overview

Growing indoors can be an exciting and rewarding venture, especially with AK Auto cannabis seeds. Known for their hardiness and impressive potency, these seeds can flourish in a controlled environment. The entire growth cycle generally lasts around 10-12 weeks. By understanding the various growth stages and their specific needs, you can cultivate a thriving plant.

Before diving into the specifics, it’s essential to prepare your indoor setup. Quality grow lights, proper ventilation, and humidity control are key to creating an optimal atmosphere. So, let’s explore each stage of growth to ensure your AK Auto plants achieve their full potential!

Week 1

Dimensions and Watering

  • Height: 0 – 10 cm
  • Pot Size: 3L
  • Light Schedule: 20 hours per day
  • Air Humidity: 55%
  • Temperature: 29ºC (84.2ºF)

In the initial week, minimal care is required for your AK Auto seeds. Water them using plain water in a well-draining 3-liter pot. Offering your young plants a nutrient-rich substrate is crucial for healthy root establishment. Picture this: think of the seeds as people starting in a new home; they need time and the right environment to settle in.

During this phase, light is your best friend. By providing a 20-hour light schedule, you encourage your plants to thrive. Keep a watchful eye on humidity levels, too much can lead to mold, and too little can stunt growth. Finding balance is vital for a successful beginning.

Week 2

Continuing Growth

  • Height: 10 cm
  • Pot Size: 3L
  • Light Schedule: 20 hours per day
  • Air Humidity: 55%
  • Temperature: 29ºC (84.2ºF)

As week two rolls around, you’ll notice substantial growth with your AK Auto reaching around 10 cm in height. Continue with plain water to ensure that your plants focus on growth rather than nutrient uptake. Think of them as children; they need to grow strong before they can handle anything complex.

It’s also a good practice to ensure that the growing medium remains consistently moist but not soggy. Remember, just like people, overwatering can lead to discomfort for the plants and may hinder their development.

Week 3

Transplantation

  • Height: 21 – 31 cm
  • Pot Size: 18L
  • Light Schedule: 20 hours per day
  • Air Humidity: 55%
  • Temperature: 29ºC (84.2ºF)

Week three marks a pivotal moment: it’s time to transplant your AK Auto into an 18-liter pot. This ensures that the growing roots have ample room to explore their new home. It’s like upgrading to a larger living space, everyone appreciates some extra space!

During this time, you may start to notice the first signs of pre-flowers, a significant indicator that your plant is developing healthily. This phase is all about nurturing their growth, so be attentive to your plant’s needs and monitor how well it adapts to the new pot.

Week 4

Flower Development

  • Pot Size: 18L
  • Light Schedule: 20 hours per day
  • Air Humidity: 55%
  • Temperature: 29ºC (84.2ºF)

As the weeks progress, the structure of your AK Auto becomes sturdier. Don’t hesitate to prune any excess lateral branches; allowing sunlight to penetrate the main stem improves flower growth significantly. Consider this like giving your plants a well-deserved haircut—it helps them look and feel their best!

This week is all about preparation for the flowering stage. Make sure you’re giving your plants the right amount of attention and care that they need as they prepare for a beautiful bloom.

Weeks 5-6

Flowering Stage

  • Height: 70 cm
  • Pot Size: 18L
  • Light Schedule: 20 hours per day
  • Air Humidity: 35% – 50%
  • Temperature: 25ºC (77ºF)

In weeks five and six, your AK Auto should develop into a vibrant cluster of flowers! At this stage, maintaining a water-only feeding routine is crucial. If you’ve ever tried to overindulge in a treat, you know it can lead to discomfort, your plants feel the same way about nutrients!

By week six, feel free to introduce a flowering fertilizer, diluted to about 2ml/L of water. This is like giving your plants a healthy snack to boost their growth. Just be cautious not to overdo it, as the focus should remain on flourishing blooms rather than excessive growth.

Weeks 7-8

Flower Maturation

  • Height: 70–75 cm
  • Pot Size: 18L
  • Light Schedule: 20 hours per day
  • Air Humidity: 25%
  • Temperature: 25ºC (77ºF)

As we enter weeks seven and eight, it’s rewarding to witness the flowers becoming more pronounced, with the plant growing up to 75 cm in height. Continue utilizing your flowering fertilizer to maximize yield and enjoy the sight of your flowers compacting and densifying.

During this time, be mindful of environmental changes—temperatures may fluctuate, so maintaining a stable setup will positively influence the flowering stage and overall health of your plants.

At this stage, it’s important to continue using the flowering fertilizer but be vigilant against nutrient burn. Just like preparing for a big event, your plants need TLC in their final days before the harvest.
