I know man, it was gettin to tall so I chp the top off and it sent it to fuckin weirdo mode hahaha leafs started to go all crazy and turn brown so I just decided to chop the whole thing down and try and dry whatever immature buds looked big enough to try and salvage. But yeah thiis one girl I got left is lookin sexy. I woke up this morning and she was leaning almost to the ground so I staked her up.

ive always liked the blue strains. who dont like blue or purple in their bud! my first pic was the blackberry from nirvana but ended up going with the ak b/c they were cheaper.

Hi rsharp, QC and friends,

AK48 Day 25.jpg

Day 25 of flower and my AK48s are putting on some nice hairs. I flushed again after the plants showed some burning on the leaves. This time the flush went fine. Pretty sure what I did wrong with the first flush was I splashed the solution onto the leaves and then put the plants back under the light which burnt the leaves. This time I made it a point not to get the root drench on the leaves.

Some leaf curling is evident in the pictures. I'm still overfeeding or it's heat stress from the 600 HPS being too close, or both. I've raised the light and am going to back off on feeding a bit. I wish you could smell the inside of the tent. It smells like pepper and pine, real fresh and minty. The little nugs are getting greasy.

Still on target for early to mid January for a harvest and late January for the smoke report 8)

here goes a few pics of my plants. their doing their thing right now! ive started feeding them FF big bloom. i plan on transplanting them to their final pots saturday. the 4th node is shooting out now. i will also start the LST this weekend as well. im looking forward to seeing how fast the tops turn back to the light. i read that it takes around 3 hrs or so with a MH. unfortunatly it took longer than 3 hrs with the cfl's i had.
so im looking forward to that.

one thing ive noticed about the ak-48 is that one plant could have skinny leaves and another could have real fat leaves. you can deff. tell its a hybrid. i find it very interesting how a plant can be dominant in certain traits. i havnt done a lot of research about all that but i guess i should!!

The hood is aircooled and I was letting the top of the tallest plant get to within 4". I raised the hood up and the gap is about 6" now. The leaves were fat during veg - very Indica looking. Now in the 4th week of flower some of the leaves around the buds are looking very Sativa.

Hi Mr. Sharp and friends.

Good luck on the next grow. Here's some updated bud pr0n from the AK48s at day 30 of flowering:

AK48 Day 30 bud.jpg AK48 day 31.jpg

Two of the plants are looking over-fed so I flushed again this morning and have been cutting back on feeding. I've upped PH to 6.5 and all new leaves look happy but a lot of old burned leaves had to be trimmed. Buds are getting dense. Down inside the bush it's buds everywhere. Stems and stalk are very sturdy. Won't need any stakes. Most impressive thing is the smell in the tent - pepper, pine and mint. No trichomes visible yet.

Of my 3 plants there are 2 phenotypes. The two taller ones have darker leaves, shorter bud hairs and are sensitive to over-feeding and ph fluctuations. The shorter one has lighter leaves, longer bud hairs and has not been bothered by my mistakes in PH and feeding. I think I'm going to mix her nutrients differently from the other two plants and feed her a bit more aggressively.

ya shimp. ive also seen the different phenotypes. mostly in the leaves. one plant had wide leaves the other had thin ones. your plants are huge Shimp. Ak-48 does have a great smell. the pine part is easily distiguished but the other scents are a little misterious. i have a hard time judging them!

I forgot to take picture 3 hours after i LST'd them. i can tell you that the tops were not turned back up... im not saying it doesnt happened but im starting to think people like to exadurate! im gonna start believing less. If your tops turn back up in three hours please video tape it for me. even my piece of shit snap and shoot 7mp digital camera (4gb memory) can hold 3 hours of non-stop video. so i dont want to hear that excuse. seriously i would love to see this on video. i really just dont believe it as of right now!! if anyone can help me out on this that would be great!!!!!!!
