Growing a La Diva, an AK-47, an OG #18, and a Blue Cheese

My La Diva is already started to flower. It's on day 34 from seed. The other 3 strains are still in seedling stage, but not for much longer. I guess in 4-5 weeks time they will be ready for the 12/12 flip to flower. Right now they are all under a 400w MH along w/ 4 26 w 2700k CFL's for some extra flowering light for the La Diva. I will switch to the 400w HPS in about 2-3 weeks depending on how fast this auto starts to really flower. The other 3 strains that are still vegging will be alright under the HPS for an extra 2 weeks earlier than expected. All is good.

Now for my question: I want to know what other people think of the 3 regular photo strains that I have going. I want to know their experiences with these strains that I have picked out. I am keeping a jounal which you can access by clicking on my signature. Anyone who has grow Barney's Farm Blue Cheese, Serious Seeds AK-47, and Reserva Privada's OG #18, I would really appreciate your thoughts on how these strains grow as far as stretch and advice you can give me since this is my first time growing any of these strains. They are all feminized seeds too. I'm still trying a strain that I want to continue to grow. I have a large selection of beans to choose from, so it might take a while before I find all my keepers, but I hope that 3 of the 3 will be of that top-shelf quality. At least I really hope so. My last grow I got 2/3 top-shelf harvests off of my last grow out of 3 strains. Anyways any help on this subject would be much appreciated. Thanks up front. Have fun tonight blazing! By the way, after tomorrow, I will be finished with smoking for a little bit. I want to find a better job, and I just want to take a break for a bit from the every single day and all day smoking that I have been doing for a while now. Not a long break. At least not to long! LOL!

OG18 is a bitch for me in about week two of flower.. go easy on the nutes, especially the N, btw... needs a ton of mg all the time..and keep the P up. It's fickle, and dislikes soil... does very well in coco. ..it's excellent smoke. Also worth mentioning, this is actually about a 10 week plant... usually depending on the pheno.

I hope that you are wrong! I'm growing my OG #18 in soil along w/ a AK-47, and Blue Cheese. So far I just topped all 3 plants now. I topped them after their 4th set of true leaves grew out. Now all 3 strains have been topped now. They all seem to be growing steadily in the soil, so I haven't noticed any problems so far. I'm growing in Miracle Grow soil with an NPN ratio of 21-14-7. I don't add any nutes until I am a few weeks into flower. The La Diva was an exemption to this since it started to flower earlier that your regular photo period plant, so I added a 1/4 tablespoon of flowering nutes with an NPK ratio of 15-30-15 to a gallon of water. It's just some cheap nutes by Shultz that are fom Walmart. The MG soil and cheap nutes worked extremely well for my last harvest. I harvested 2/3 top-shelf strains from what I grew out last time. I had 1 that was just some mid-grade weed.

I don't know which strain that I am looking forward to the most. All 3 photo strains seem to be some shit that will make my mouth water. If I had to pick in order, I would say: #1) OG #18 #2) AK-47 #3) Blue Cheese. I am really looking forward to the OG #18. It sounds like the perfect strain that I am looking for.
