I'm still tweaking things in my flower and veg setups - could have a bit more room for extra plants if I made the effort to empty out the other half of the closet and put in the other lights I have. I'm lucky to have a corner of a spare room that I can keep my vegging babies away from the...

Chief, how long did it take you to drown Joni? Maybe I should look into that with my two ladies that have another two weeks or so left... Do you think it added to your yield, or just helped smooth it out and speed curing?

The AK and SR moms just finished their 6th week in flower (about 2 or 3 more to go)...their cloned tops are at 2 weeks now. I'm trying to time things about 4 weeks apart so that I keep a perpetual harvest going about every month or so. When the two older girls are out of the flower closet in a...

The T5 should work fine for veg - if you have the right spectrum bulb to change for flower, it will suffice. You may want to use the HPS too if it appears to need more light at some point in flowering. The clipped leaves are common for clones - has to do with transpiration while waiting for...

Here is the link to Uncle Bens topping thread...read the first page and you will learn just what to do - he really knows his plants! -Mandi https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/151706-uncle-bens-topping-technique-get.html

Here they are a few days ago...have not had a chance to do new photos yet. The older gals are adding bud and plumping up nicely! AK seems to be using alot of N, as she is still fading and losing leaves, even though I've been adding veg nutes to try to keep her greener. Short Rider is much...

Be sure you aren't over watering them, especially if the drainage of that soil isn't great. At this point, they should be able to go most of a week without watering, once you put enough in them to produce some runoff. I've found that my seedlings will reach a spot where they seem to be stalled...

I would suggest you give some molasses a try too...as my plants seem to like it pretty much. I have FF Big Bloom, Jacks Classic and a basic Schultz plant food - nothing too pricey, and its been getting the job done. -Mandi

I have had great success with using Uncle Ben's topping method. It's easy to follow his directions, and what you need to know is all on one page pretty much. I have never tried sog, but I don't see why you couldn't combine it with topping. Your plant will likely be shorter if you top, but...

I vegged for a full 8 weeks so I could get the most out of them. CFLs won't grow her as fast as HID lighting, but if you give a little more veg time, they'll get the job done well enough. I started my first AKs at 24/0, but only did that for a week or so - then I read that it really wasn't...

Chief - Just did my thing to help push Joni to victory! TinyGrow - You want a daylight bulb for vegging (6500k is best, but I think you can go down a bit lower). You switch to 2700k-3000k cool white bulbs for the flowering. I did my first grow using 8 of the daylight 23watt 6500k, and then 8...

Made the #5 spot...but it looks like you and Joni are the only ones to have any votes yet! Go Joni!!!

Thanks Chief! They seem to be budding good for this stage - still have another three weeks to go, so I hope they continue as they have been... The AK has been dropping small fans on the lower level, but you can't see that in the pics. They fade gradually and go yellow, so I'm pretty sure its...

You can veg for just 4 weeks to keep your plant smaller, but nothing will change the time it takes to properly flower. Most strains will take at least 7 or 8 weeks minimum to reach maturity. Harvesting at only 4 weeks flower is not going to give you much in the way of bud, as it will likely be...

Here is my AK48, (also called 'Fat Ass') right before being moved into flower, and again just six days later. She has stretched alot already... Here is the Short Rider before start of flower, and then after a six day stretch. This is the AK48 that is already half way through flower...

Thanks Red...I hope you have as good a luck as I did with my first grow!

Thanks Razz - If there is anything I can do to help you out, just ask. I'm still a newb, but I've learned a lot on here, and I have been able to keep my grow on a tight budget by getting creative with supplies. It's amazing what you can do with stuff from the dollar store! I will be posting...

Thanks Live! Glad you enjoyed your read/buzz... Yeah, the AK48 seems to be a good strain. I plan to keep it around for a while since it did so well for me on my first grow. My current grow has an AK 4 weeks into flower, and the cloned top of that plant that was vegged longer and is now what I...

BKB - I would trade a couple AK48s for the G13xHindu KuskxAK47 if you're interested. Can swap again later when my crossbreeds are ready and you have some other strains. -Mandi

Chief- Good to hear the NL is a couchlock kind of high! I already have ONA gel, so I should be good for the lower scent strains. I just don't want to mess with the really strong smelling stuff right now. I have the parts to make a DIY filter, but I have yet to really need it - the ONA, along...
