How does AK48 do in Hydro?

I was curious if anyone grew AK48 in hydro. I've done soil and it came out well. I did hydro 1x and they were all male so I never got to see how they flowered but I'm popping another batch. Any info would be helpful.
Peace :leaf:

I'm growing white Russian ( Hybrid mix of AK-47 and White Widow) pretty similar plant and yes mine is in flower mode using DWC Bubbleponics!

What Ph and ppm are you guys doing in your hydro? Is the White Russian producing the way you expected?
That is actually next on my list to order when I order up my next batch. I'm going to pick up some Kush from Sensi as well. Been thinking about bubblegum and/or Kali mist as well.

5.6pH
1250ppm
4week veg
8.5 to 10 week flowering

I have gone as little as 7 weeks but the potency isn't there at 7 weeks. I personally love it when it goes right at 8.5wks. But I have had a lot of weight added by letting it go longer. I veg in a system similar to stink bud's design but use a diy waterfarm for flowering. I have 6 strains going all the time and the ak48 and dp's strawberry cough are great to grow together and share a rez and nute system.

My PH is always at 5.6-5.9
My PPM in Veg was about 450-700
My PPM in Flower is about 950
If you order White Russian seeds make sure they come from Serious Seeds thats where mine came from and all 6 germinated and sprouted. Plus if you do it right the 20% THC doesnt hurt too much either. I left my girls vegging for 9 weeks so they have only been in flower for a little over a week but they are getting huge!

I vegged for 9 weeks and will probably have to flower 8 or 9 I was told White Russian will give off a good yield at 6 or 7 weeks but if you push it to 8 or 9 you will be handsomely rewarded..

Nice. What Nutes lines are you all running? I have the Technaflora recipe package that I have been using the last few grows.

I have and currently am growing AK-48 in my Aerogarden. I use Fox Farms Grow Big and Tiger Bloom and like IrishDoc, I use hygrozyme. Hygrozyme is great stuff and keeps the roots healthy and white. AK-48 grows very fast and is very resilient.

With the technaflora recipe I find i have to titrate up and keep it under 350 ppm otherwise I start getting nute burn depending on the strain.
But it produces well and gives me plenty of crystals. I get about 2-2.5 oz per plant under 400w hps in a rain forest 66 hydro. the recipe kit is good and then you peace things in as you run out. I end up with good flavor never a chemical flavor even when I've only flushed for 5-7 days.
