Hi,

This is my AK48 (total of 56 plants) flowering for 30 days now. I am still planning to keep if flowering for another 37 days (5 weeks) So it will be 9 weeks total.
I am using 10x400wats HPS and schults 10-54-10 fertelizers.

Any suggestions? How does it look like for this age / time of flowering?

So On the last thread I mentioned you should clone them and you said you hadnt had much experience and asked for some pointers. So heres what I got to offer.
If you are going organically, I like jiffy pellets. But only jiffy pellets, the other brands have given me mold issues and all sorts of non-sense. take nice fat branches, branches with a couple internodes and chop before a bottom internode. Theres lots of ggole info and videos on youtube about cloning. Im prob not the best to explain the actual technique but I wanna offer my advice on best ways to do it.
If you cant find jiffys, Ive bult a little homemade DWC cloner and that gave me best results so far. Its a long Tupperware about 3" deep, a foot long with an air stone in it. Ohh and holes in the top but thats it! Something I did learn was if the top isnt airtight it becomes a problem.
I like to take my cutting with scissors at a 45 degree angle right after a fan leaf or node. Then I submerge it in Ph'd water and take another cut about 1" up. The point is to make sure there is no oxygen in the stem. I find better results with that. Then directly into the jiffy or cloner. If using jiffy pellets, I soak them in Ph'd water. Some people add a tiny amount of nutes to the water to help after they root, I dont always do so tough t doesnt hurt right? Typical rooting takes about a week, some strains take much longer to root than other. Sorry about the long message, hope that helps.

ps. Whyd you switch to another thread?

Looking great but 9 weeks might be too long. AK48 is supposed to finish in 7 weeks (48 days) correct? I might be wrong.

You dont look behing for 30 days if you ask me.. And if you are, its not but much. A lot of strains swell toward the last couple weeks. I normally see it around days 40-55. But like I said all strains are different. I wouldnt worry to much Frappe. If you do happen to worry, drop the lights a couple inches. know temps are an issue so just do a couple inches. Thats of course, just my 2 cents

yep 9 weeks is way to long for ak 48! My I have found that the longer you let her go the sleepier the high is! Use a lope and you will know for sure! I very seldom get true amber trichs but cloudy as hell! I pull when i get 75% cloudy and that seems to be the sweet spot for me! Go figure right around 48 days! She will start to plump up any time now and you will be very happy!

Sorry for the delay, I fucked up a bit and got 50% of them died... so was not in the mood to update :(
causes of death:

overheating..
Just to let everyone know - do not overheat at any time! it is better to get them cold but not too hot!
