hard for me to describe the smell... smells like DANK weed. a liiiittle skunky, mostly piney,spicey, fresh. a little sweet maybe.

Hi!

I noticed that you so graciously put yourself out there for questions about growing AK 48 and I really appreciate that!

I am about to buy some seeds and I already have an aerogarden, so the first question is:

1. What light, in addition to the lights that already come with it, should I buy? The lights it comes with are an unknown combo of red and blue and give out 26W each and there is 2.

2. What nutrients and how often should I administer for seeds, germination and flowering?

3. Where should I put the fan, how far away from the plant?

Thanks!! Much appreciated!!

Blessings!

Ok... I see your Questions have been here for a few days so I will try and answer.

Lights... well if you have an aerogarden, I believe they have CFL's inside to begin with, and since it is covered from the top... get a couple more daylight CFL bulbs. They are low on heat, and power consumption. and are right for Vegging and the limited space you have... try a couple more 26s.

on the nutrients, wait until they are a bit older (3 to 4 weeks old)... try a 10-10-10 strength nute at like 1/4 to 1/2 dose amount to begin with. Do not add nutrients until about 3 to 4 weeks.

A small fan will be suitable for vegging to strengthen the stems, and circulate air.
but when you flower, you will need to up your game with some more light.

If that means you are continuing a CFL grow, For Flowering, a ton of soft white light should replace your Daylight CFL's, and it would be preferable to have at least 150w for one plant (at least 6 of those 26w Daylight CFL bulbs to a plant)
You can keep the CFL's at 1 1/2 inch away from your plants, this will probably not cause heat stress if you have your small fan running over them. With the CFL's you can place them around your plant for optimal growth... With the CFL's, if used right can give the grower allot of control on how the plant grows. Ex... height of plant...

Or when you go to flower... if you have a small amount of plants (I would say 4 or less) Go for the 150w HPS, that would aid in packing on the weight to those plants instead of having an array of CFL's floating around. the cost for you may be worth looking into both options...

Also, if the grow you are doing differs in numbers, and medium ( I assumed it was a hydro grow)... then this information will need to be tweaked to fit your grow.

Good Luck

I am germinating 10 of these right now. Anyone who has grown this strain, let us know your observations!

i think we are all waiting for someone to pioneer these seeds.

My friends grow it. It looks, tastes and smells very good and gets you good and stoned. It takes about 60-65 days though, not 48 days.... its good. It always comes out better than the white widow and trainwreck they grow

Mmmm... AK-48

looks like the dangus!!!

shitty camera phone pic... 12 AK48 under a 400w+ T5 High output
about a week to go...

Great strain. It grows quickly, definitely not done in 48 days, like the other dude said, probably like 60 days give or take.

It's really potent, has a unique taste, and smells very tasty. It gets me good and baked for a good while off of just a bong rip or two. I have grown it twice now and am currently working on a perpetual grow with it. It stays relatively short, and has a high flower to leaf ratio, at least mine did. All of the seeds I did were pretty much the same phenotype, they all grew relatively the same, one of them had a lot tighter buds than the other. The last one I let go a little longer, 12/12 from seed and I ended up pulling 2.5 ounces from a 15" plant. Hard to believe. I'll try and find the pictures I had of it right before I chopped it. Definitely would recommend it to anybody, especially a new grower, it was really strong and it held up to any mistakes I made. You can feed like living crap out of it and it eats it like a champ. Overall I liked this strain and AM currently growing it again for my in progress perpetual grow operation.

i am growing it right now check out some pics on page 3 of my journal

hey GHOST im really looking into buying the seeds within the next week and planting it outdoors
i dont really know much about growing so i was hoping you could give me some pointers on what to do for an outside grow

i bought ak48 from nirvana seed all female i got 3 started and waiting to see the yield from it hopefully i can grow enough to pay for my house

Man your going to have to veg em for about 5 years if you want to pay for a house with 3 plants. Or maybe you've got a tiny house??


And Darrens, can I ask what sort of lighting you used on your plants.

Yeah good luck buying a house with 3 AK plants. Maybe it will cover one mortgage payment?

So would you guys say that this is a strain that I could grow in a pc hydro box that's 20 inches tall with 4 26w CFL's? What light cycle would you guys recommend for the veg stage?

man i took 3 plants and made 10 clones huh yeah i will get enough for a house lol if you all thought 3 plants for a house no just enough to make more plants and mine is just about ready the 3 that is the clones are doing great hopefully b4 november i can have enough dried out to pay for the house yeah it is a small house and they are cheap where im from later peps

On day 15 with veg of mine...so far so good. Healthy, strong and green. Anyone top this strain to get multiple colas?

I'm also interested to know if anyone has topped it to increase yield. I've got 3 seedlings of AK-48 from nirvana(all females) going right now.
