It seems that everyone is talking about how they would be indoors.
How would ak-48 be outdoors? what is the approxomate height and how when would you be able to harvest (northern hemisphere)

i know the ak48 harvests in october and based on the flowering in a perfect world you want it to begin flowering no later than the first week of september.
you know depending on your location in the hemispher though, the plan jumps into flowering when it is no longer getting at least 14 hours of light.

Ak-48 from Nirvana seeds was my first and second grow. First grow was indoor hydro under 400w HPS, GH nutes. Water cured. Tasted like crap and harsh as hell, didn't burn well either. Buzz was cerebral and not terribly potent.

Second grow was indoors using Foxfarm ocean forest medium and FF nutes. Vegged in 400w MH and flowered in 400w HPS. Dry cure still did not improve taste much. Potency was still lacking, but a little better than first time. Could totally wake and bake and carry on at work.

Admittedly, the mediocre success to my grows could be due to my inexperience, but I got to tell you, I followed directions and plants always looked healthy up until they were flushed out before cutting down.

I want to try a third indoor grow. May be a waste of good money, but I have to try. Gonna get some Jack Herrer beans from Sensi Seeds. Gonna take a stab at scrogging.

I've got 2 nice AK-48s growing outside right now. They started out in poor lighting, but when I moved them to a better spot they exploded. Both have been topped, the taller one is over 4 feet now and the shorter one is over 3 feet and catching up. Both have shown female, and I can't wait to see how much bigger they get once they really start flowering.

^ nice thats almost identical to mine I ended up letting mine go 59 days if I could upload a pic I would. Has anyone grown out the more indica pheno of this? I started two and one was sativa like and the other was way more indica but after I top them I like to lst the 4 main branches down and I accidently pulled to hard on the indica and pulled a branch off and it never recovered:( but it smelled way better even when they were only about 3 weeks old when the incident occured

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.

Good to hear. I'm about to have it in perpetual growth too, and SOG.

I think the problem lies with people harvesting it too early. Ignore the 48 days thing, just harvest it when its ready on the trics and "looks ready" overall.

Growing a couple ak48 right now. Im not going to go by the 45-50 day harvest. Im going to let this thing get 30-40% amber before harvesting. they are 4 days into the switch. One grew tall 22" the other stayed short 13". I topped and LST'd while they were in veg. They stayed in veg from feb.1(germinated from seed) to April 9. Had some issues the first 10 days or so. Then had recent issue with too much calcium in my water and was locking out my Mg and K. So without the set backs could have been bigger. But here they are:
ak48 #2. 4-12.jpgak48 22in. 4-12.jpgak48 #2.jpgThe taller pheno.
ak48#3 4-12.jpgak48#3 13in. 4-12-12.jpgak48 #3 side shot.jpgThe 13" pheno.
