400w Stealth Cabinet AK-48

[baggednismo]

Almost there! The clones are pre flowering like champs, a bit lengthy but from what I hear about the strain they should do just fine. With harvest right around the corner I have made some final adjustments on the expansion. Still havent ordered anything but that will be soon!

Something just isnt right with these spots all over the plants, the clones are starting to do it now. Its bugging the fuck out of me cause i cant find any spider mites... Im going to give it till the AK is out of the closet and then Im going balls out with fixing this issue what ever it may be.

I had to tie this up to the hood... woke up yesterday morning to find this cola leaning far out of light and on the verge of breaking at the stalk so a bit of hemp and 5 minutes shes good-to-go till harvest

BB Clones at about week 3 flower. 3 didnt make it, just withered up and died but the rest responded well to the transplant! still rockin the party cups for now when i got more room to work with i will give them more room for their roots.

Its about that time for all of them but my plan is to cut a plant down every 3 days, The girl in the back left has about 60/30 milky/amber trichs so I wanted to check out the smoke now compared to 9 days from now when it should be about 30/60 and the farthest i would go. Im not a fan of sleepy dopy weed, I like potency but i dont intend to give up a smooth smoke nor an energetic or at least a productive high.

I didnt weigh it wet, no point really but in 4/5 days I will let ya know

Sub'd. Love this grow. Those buds look amazing.

 

[baggednismo]

Thanks highfidelity, glad you stopped by.

I have been diligent in my endeavors so i really think that was my key to success or It could have also been this resilient strain... either way this log just proves that you dont need fancy gadgets to grow good weed just a light source, good water/soil/ferts & determination. An ingenuitive mind also helps but even with out you can buy out-of-the-box set ups that work great!

Looks sick bud !!!! i just got sum ak48 from nirvana cant wait it looks tip top!! got some sterling haze from them to . nl x haze . i hope that turns out to be good to.

how tall are ur plants before u cut them down ? did u top any ? i want myn to be 3 and a half foot end of flowering. what height did u put them in to flower at ..

any help is guuud..

top grow again mate looks really gud...!!

 

[baggednismo]

Thanks usa a okay, I hope your grow goes great too!

All of my plants are within the range of 21" and yes they were all topped, thats how i got a semi-even canopy with 4 main colas on each plant. I veg my plants for 3 weeks then flower but i topped them 2 days into flower so if you top at the 3rd or 4th week and let veg for another week keeping your light at a fair distance away they will stretch in flower to fit your liking. whether or not the colas will be fat on such a tall plant depends on your lighting. they are generally a short plant if i remember correctly.

I didnt take any pics of the 1st plant I cut down but I took some of the 2nd!!!
even weighed it too, after trimming the fan leaves all 8 branches on that plant totaled 155g's. So i believe if the 75% water weight holds true then I have 38g's from 1 plant so I would be lucky if I yielded 5.5 ounces from all 4.

thanks buddy that will help me alot! wish more peps could do good grow reports.. good work again ..

I think i will go for a 3 ft plant topped but i will rty and lst a bit to just to get it that bit more bushy.... did u germinate all the seeds you got from nirvana ?

peace n love

I germed all the seeds and ended up with 4 females.

Smoke report on plant 58 days, 35g's dry! The smell was difficult, a bit of a rose under tone but compared to a friends fresh cut of serious seeds ak-47 it smells very very similar. I noticed a bit of a crackle in the first bowl I smoked which never happened to any other bowl since. I dried it enough to be able to smoke a cone with out it going out, just perfect if you ask me. The high was a cerebral but distinctively energetic, for hours i was wondering around the house trying to accomplish things yet for the most part i found myself standing staring at walls forgetting my mission at hand.

The 60 day plant is coming up next and plant at 63 days was cut this morning. Was a bit busy so i didnt take any shots of the 3rd girl down, sry... The last girl could actually come down tonight as well but i will wait just a couple more days, never know, the smoke at 65 days could be perfect

 

[baggednismo]

Day 60 plant has been in a jar for a day now so i figured i would update. The look of the bud is awesome, Toxic orange hairs and trichs bursting out from the center. The smell is quite pungent and diesel like, as the taste doesnt differ much.

 

[w1ckedchowda]

mmmmmmmm very niceeee

 

[baggednismo]

Final count!
plant 1: 35g's
plant 2: 34.8g's
plant 3: 28.7g's
plant 4: 22.5g's
--------------------
total: 121g's

AHHH Damn it! I missed some of the harvest, I need to keep on top of my subscriptions.

This just makes me smile. I can't wait. These colas are SOOO thick. I love it. If my math is write you've looking at about 4 1/2 zips right? Should be a great feeling having all that quality green.

You topped these correct? I think it'll interesting to compare yields per plant, topping vs ScrOG.

I'm so antsy to fip to switch now but it takes patience at this point in the game.

You beat me to the punch but I've also been slowed down due to training mine to ScrOG. I will beginning flowering within 2 or 3 more days, just long enough for the stems to grow another 2" so I can tied them down one last time.

Any tips?

Yes, i topped. 4.32 ounces to be exact, i was happy with the yield overall being my first indoor harvest. ended up picking up a PH meter and the ph is 8.0 on my tap water and 7.1 on my feeding solution for the BB. The AK-48 was very airy, not as dense as the BB should be so shortly i will find out if it was my 400 or just the strain. unfortunately i had to sell 3oz's to pay for some of the expansion, not so bad i think. ended up with enough smoke till the BB harvest and extracted the cuttings and popcorn buds with vector butane for some awesome hash to dip my ciggs in.

BB is at week 7 feeding schedule however this time around I have decided to use 1/4 of the dosage FF suggests and the full dosage of SSU recommended. hopefully I wont end up with spotty leaves and airy bud. 12 have been transplanted to 2gal grow bags and 3 dont have room to be transplanted so i guess they are shit out of luck. trying SoG this time around, my yield has to be better.

 

[usa a okay]

I recon you will get better yields in sog !

you have to tell me how the BB turns out ! that strain i really wana grow! were did u get it from, what seed bank shud i say. lol.

All my seeds have popped there heads out now. All Nirvana strains. I will start a grow report soon with pics and full details! the strains i have are as follows :- Swiss cheese,Super skunk,Sterling haze and AK48....

The BB I got as clones from a friend, they are starting to look better as of the last few days. I finally got a ph meter and my awesome water at the tap was 8ph!! the ph in my feeding solution is 7... I dropped that down to 5.8 and the green is really coming out again in the new growth.

this just goes to show how resilient the ak-48 strain is. BB fortunately is a strain that made me reevaluate my nutrients and ph. i cut their feeding back to 1/4 of the recommended sais fox farm and 1/2 the SSU, im sure i could increase the ferts again but they seem to be responding well to it so i will give them some time.

hit me up with a link when you get the log going, swiss cheese had my interest as well and i almost got it so i would like to see some growin!!
