BTW...those photos are not the whole plant - just closeups of the top 8-10 inches of flowering colas. The whole plants are 34inches tall and while not extremely bushy, they do have plenty of other branches with bud sites now flowering.

Its not 8 weeks of flowering yet--I vegged them for 8 weeks. They are just at the end of the 5th week of flowering today! There is definitely no light leaking as they're in a closed closet except when being tended to daily (only during lights on).

Anyone have any input on the AK48s? Somebody have experience with the strain that can let me know what to look forward to...?

Pics are kinda small - can you try again with some bigger ones?

So what exactly is 'a fairly fast finisher'...the 7 weeks, or more than that? This is my very first grow, so I have nothing to compare.

Anyone else grow AK48 from Nirvana lately? How long did they flower for you? Vegged them for 8 weeks and they're supposed to go 7-9 weeks for flowering. Does the longer veg have any effect on how long it will take them to finish for me? Any guesses on how much my girls (now 34inches tall)...

Have 8 CFLs on them that can be adjusted in pairs to cover them better, rather than just from above...plus the T5s vertically to fill in side light. They had just been watered, but the photos are not the best, and from kind of an upward angle that makes them look off. They're not really droopy...

These are my AK48 girls...vegged for 8 weeks with 6500k (26w) CFLs and 3 small T5s for side fill. The ladies are now under 2700k (42w) CFLs with the T5s, and they're on day 30 of flowering here. One is a (topped) double cola plant, and the other is the single cola clone of her top. They're...

Looks like you got it this time! Good luck...just give them a week and you'll see them bounce back nicely with new colas starting.

If you have the room for more plants, pop those tops that you cut off into some soil to root them. They may not always take, but if they do, you're going to have clones of the plants you clipped them from (and hopefully those will be girl plants). I was lucky to have cloned the top of my only...

That would suck if they ALL turn out to be males. I'm on my first grow and I started 6 seeds, and then cloned the tops of two of those. Out of the 8 plants I put into flower, only 2 of them are girls! They are an AK-48 and its cloned top. That means only 1 of my original 6 seeds planted was...

Hey Jake...try Nirvana if you want to order seeds safely. I have only made two orders, but Nirvana ships very stealthy, so there was no problem with my seeds getting to me. I also live in the Eastern US and it took 6 days or less both times. The credit card was charged by a third party biller...

Yeah, I put up that link to Uncle Ben every time I read a thread about topping. Trying to spread his sage advice! Of course I followed his instructions, and everything I topped did just what Uncle Ben said it would. Too bad the prettiest 4 cola plants ended up being boys...hurt to toss those...

I'm going to be able to answer this question definitively in about 5-6 weeks. I have an AK-48 that was topped and the topped part became a clone. It turns out that was the only girl in my garden! I now essentially have TWO of the exact same plant, and therefore they share the same genetics...

If you want an easy to follow read that will tell you just what you need to do to correctly top your plants, you need to check out the first couple pages of Uncle Ben's topping thread. He is a veteran grower who really knows his shit! I'm on my first grow, and this thread made it simple to get...

I used a party cup as a scoop and mixed 1 cup of perlite for every 3 cups of soil...so you'd end up with approx. 25% perlite and 75% soil in your mix. Put it in a bucket or some other larger container where you have the room to mix it up well so the perlite is distributed fairly evenly. Just...

The canisters have a snug fitting cork/stopper type lid with the dessicant held in by a thin disc that tightly fits the inside of the lid to make a chamber for it. Does the pollen dry fast if spread on a flat surface for a few hours, or does it take days? If I go directly from male plant to...

So feeding every time I water would be okay at this age (8week veg plus 2weeks flower)? Okay to use FF Big Bloom at every watering now because its organic and mild, right? I know the lower leaves die off in flowering, I just didn't expect that to be this soon. The top leaves are still green...

Any experienced growers know what the issue is with the first plant? She's only two weeks into flowering and is losing color at the bottom. Is it N deficient, or something else? The last photo is the cloned top of the first and is just three inches shorter at this point. The strain is AK48...

If you have any bowls a tad larger than the cups, that would do. A good freebie would be a couple of those small square white foam containers that you take leftovers home in from a restaurant. Just snip the hinged part and you have two nice deep bowls to catch drainage. Don't let the plants...
