hi there thanks for the comment and all the best with your grow
im pretty definate by the looks of things i have 2 ak females and 1 bagseed female !!!
1 ak deffo girl 1 bagseed deffo girl and the other ak aint showing nuffin so it must be a female just a bit slowso all the panic germin all those seeds was pointless, so i have planted them all in pots, 5 seeds per pot !!! i know this isnt ideal but i dont care now as i have the other girls. we will see what happens, they are going under 12/12 with the girls. could be interesting lol
heres some updated pics with the mylar and both 250w cfl's and 6 23w warm whites ( im going to try and squeeze in a few more lol)
750w of mixeed spectrum
any way i have been dying to say this!!
heres my girls !!!!!!

Hi tamjam,
Great news on the ladies
Now the fun bit starts! All looking real nice and healthy there.
700watts is a LOT of CFL power my friend I'd say its one of the biggest in terms of wattage per plant that I have seen here! Those 3 should soak it up....... I'm using 375watts over my 3 plants for comparison so it will be good to see what you produce because from experience I know the Nirvana AK48 can yield very well.
Keep the pics coming.

just wire up one light socket to a plug then from that socket join the to wires to another socket and so on, im sure you could wire 300w saftely this way.but wont 10 lights worth of wire not fit into 1 plug? do i jus unscrew all my wire from the plugs except 1 and then put all the ends together and screw them into the 1 plug?
heres an update, its now been 17 days of 12/12, one of my ak's has got a lot of pistels and the other ak is still showing nothing, i thought it was 14 days max to show sex? maybe not!!!.
i will post some updated pics later

Morning tamjam
Males always show early on, they jump right out at you! Some female are more reluctant to show so I'd say its 95% to be a female. Any day now
You can look in the morning and see nothing, then look a couple of hours later and see those pistils!Look forward to the new pics

this morning i found 1 ak drooping and the bagseed drooping but i think they were just thirsty, they have been watered now so should all be well.
thats what i thought about the one not showing sex yet its only a matter of time, and i could only take pics with my mobile as my stepdaughter took her camera back.
but here they are

Hello, another cfl UK grower here. Those big cfl's look great and the girls look nice and bushy, good stuff. On my third grow now, I like my new hobby and it means dodgy scallywags on mountain bikes don't know where I live, if you know what I mean (AND their "skunk" is green, wet and crap). Pay as you go "broadband" runs out tonight and I'm skint.... so....
All the best.
