Na people just don't comment, they are still looking. They are going to fatten up over the next few weeks, since I am at day 40 flowering, I gotta see those updates!

Alright here goes...

Flowering Day 46














I'll have more up in a little bit. They will show the noticeable lean to the majority of the tops.

When I saw your first few pix, I thought you were gonna lose it but, that's one beautiful lady. great job....+rep
ya like i said i've done this before it's just been a while. i knew she'd recover.. only thing that i did wrong in the whole grow is doing the 150W HPS. the buds don't fill out like they should. but i'll probably end up getting a zip out of it. which is cool in my opinion. i don't even blaze that much so this should last me a while. it's all the better when you grow it yourself too. so i'm pretty happy with how it turned out. :blsmoke:

thanks for the kind words everyone.

mine is at day 18 of flowering with a 250 hps and not budding as good as yours and there only 15 days
If you started from seed you are behind by probably 2 or more weeks, for growth and time to sex.

good stuff. 24 days left (70 i assume?) should end right after christmas/before new years. haha nice ;)
AK-48 was named for a 48 day flower period under optimal conditions, which of course most of us don't have!

Very nice job dude! I read through the whole grow after seeing AK-48. I have some seed but I have not started them yet as the garden is very busy!

Very impressive from that sorry little clone to a beautiful lady. You even survived a little Big Bloom Burn! My lesson was not as easy!

Did you cut the bottoms out of your pots? they look like they are stacked?

How much longer do you think you have?

again, nice!
:peace:

ya i cut the bottom out of that one and shoved it in the 5 gal bucket. i cut them down after i took those pix. i had already smoked a bud and checked the trichs they're all cloudy and good to go. got me plenty high so their hanging at the moment i'll be posting pix once they are ready to smoke. thanks for the compliments. :blsmoke:

by the way the room they are hanging in smells so fucking fruity and delicious its retarded. all the buds are covered in hairs and crystals it's going to be some good smoke. the buds weren't as dense as i would have liked after they've dried for a couple days. but it's still going to be some good smoke.

this thread has inspired me to invest in a 150 watt HPS
no doubt... one thing about the 150W HPS is that it doesn't put out a lot of heat. i mean in the small space i was growing in it didn't effect the temps at all. maybe 2-5 degrees hotter that normal room temp at most.
