Looks Awesome...nice and Green!!!
Lst looks great keep it up and she will be giving you some good bud bro...
Good jod!
Starting nute only 1/4 strength to start and slowly up dose as plant Needs! Plus water in between...N/W/N/W etc...
What nutes are you going to feed and N-P-K value.

I think they look a tad small but my perception could be fucked (just bonged some Warlock) but definately hit 1/4 nutes like lime said and it looks like you should veg another month depending on your size limitations. Nice plants though.

thanks everybody for the advice. maybe i should have put something next to the plant so you could judge them better. each plant has 5 23w 6500k cfls. my plan is to change out the 23w cfls after veg. and replace them with 40w 2700k cfls. the pots are 5gal. i agree they are on the smaller side but after seeing a lot of ak-48 threads my plants are up to par with them. that made me happy!

Thanks alot. it feels good to hear someone say that your on the right track. i felled to mention that i cut back the older plant. the fan leaves were covering all the colas you see. as of today the plant has responded well to it and the smaller colas are now getting lots of light!!

Yeah thats probably the best advice there is. Grow a plain old healthy plant and you cant lose. Worry about tweaks and craziness after you know what a nice plant is.

PS And your plants look real nice and knowing that they are in buckets they aren't quite as small as I thought. Those look like they will turn out great.

here is an update on the plants. i gave them some fertilizer on friday. i used schultz plant food 10-15-10. i waited a month b/c i heard it was easy to burn a plant in fox farms OF. for budding i will use FF big bloom. the main stem (going along the dirt) is around 7". the height of the plant is about 6".. it has grown nicely from the trim i gave it. filled out nicely.

looks like they're coming along great. looks very professional. i probably would have used something a bit higher in nitrogen and lower in phosphorus since they're in veg but i see nothing wrong. i've never used schultz nutrients but i've always been a fan of their other products. i've had nice success in the past with their soil. personally i use fox farm's big bloom every other watering for both cycles. along with grow big in veg. tiger bloom in flower. 2nd half of flowering i add advanced nutrient's overdrive in combination with tiger bloom. last 2-3 weeks i only use reverse osmosis water. most ppl say 2 weeks but i like to go a bit longer.

thanks skiweeds. everything is going pretty well. no problems yet. the ak-48 is taking the LST very well. on these two plant im going to use the shultz and FF big bloom. im doing this grow semi-halfass. im planning on selling half so i can invest in a hps. and i also want to buy the other 2 FF nutes for the next grow. im not gonna count my chickens b/f they hatch. thanks for the nute tips. check back in soon. i will post some more pics.

Wow man for a "semi-halfass" grow i think your doin pretty damn good even with CFLS, Have you ever considered using 1 Tblspn Molasses/1 Gallon Water is the ratio on that, you could possibly throw that in there a couple times during your grow its basically a good food source for your plants...with your nute scheduel id only do it once a week. I would do it on Sunday personally at the start of each week.

Also you would want "Grandma's Unsulfered Molasses" or any "Unsulfered" type molasses...check at your local grocery store.

Good lookin plants man heres a bowl for me and +Rep n Sub'd for you!

Thanks man.. i take it day by day and try not to fret the small shit.. my goal is to get an HPS light for the next grow(400w maybe?). thanks for reminding me about the molasses. im gonna check out kroger to see if they sell it. i will put some pics up once or twice a week. here latley though the plants have been taking turns drooping a tid bit. they dont droop real bad but i cant pinpoint whats causing it. i havnt seen anything negative from it so im not complaining.
