lookin very nice Abnjm.. i'm also growing the AK-48 from Nirvana right now. In reference to that other dude who is looking for pollen, too bad we don't know eachother, I had the male that was this phenotype's brother. I used him to pollinate some sourDiesel, I have yet to grow out any of that cross though. the female that I have right now is way more sativa dominant in her features. she has very thin blades and has the typical sativa long stringy buds that fatten up real nice at the end. really good smoke.

great job with your journal.. one of the best ive seen as far as regular pics, from the same angles, you give a really good prospective on your progress (which has been quite good I might add)

Rez is at 1300 ppm / 2.6 eC @ 5.8pH. Plants drank another 2 gallons overnight for the third night in a row. They are still 29" tall, and now's when they will really start beefing up instead of stretching. Air temps range between 67F and 79F with rez temp at 67F. The plants seem to appreciate the 10% stronger mix from last week, so I'm going to bump it to 20% for the next nute change.



Buds are forming:



Veg / Mom tent is 79F at 55% RH with 4 T-5 lit. I've noticed a few gnats, and have set out some sticky paper. It looks like all of the clones are starting to show some vegitative growth. As I will be out of town til Friday, I will give them a light feeding prior to leaving tonight.



The mom for plant #1 has just started to put out some leaves!:



Comments are welcome!

Sounds like you have some cool ass genetics to play with! Now that I have the Veg / Mom / Clone tent, I will feel more confident buying non-feminized seeds, and trying out some higher dollar strains. My buddy is begging me to get Headband seeds, but I think it is a clone-only strain. I want to try AK-47 or Jack Herrer next.

Thanks for checking in!

im drooling on myself watching the production inside that tent! I cant wait to have something bigger than a cabinet to grow in...

did you raise the light to take photos or is it stationary?

Keep your grow as clean as you have, and you'll get there....

I keep the light at least 12" above the canopy. It's a 600w so you get about 9,000 lumens per square foot at that distance. In addition, the 600w should be able to cover 9 square feet at that height. On my previous grows, I had the light too close, and I think I bleached them, resulting in sub-optimium production.

Abnjm, Nice grow !! I'm about 12 days behind you with my 6 ak48s, from nirvana as well. I've gor 1 runt who had a bad root start and 1 that got bent over pretty bad. But 4 are lookin good just hope the 2 that got messed up are the males !! I'm thinking about trying to take a few clones off of the bent plant but don't have the room to set up a clone area yet.. Hope you have a great harvest I'll be watching to see what these guys produce..This is my first try at hydro. good luck Abnjm...

Thanks for stopping by MV. I really enjoy spending a little time every day to insure my grow produces the best it possibly can. And I like just looking at the plants....

i have grown headband, i think it is clone only. i had a mother of it until about 6 months ago. very tasty herb indeed.

in case you didn't know, the genetics behind headband are og kush crossed with sour diesel. I had a male that was sugar mountain. sugar mountain is northern lights mom pollenated with a white widow male. So, i have a batch of seeds that are (OG Kush X SourDiesel)x(NorthernLights x WhiteWidow) crossing the 2 f1's should give me several phenotypes. I'm stoked for it.

at that same time with the sugar mountain male I also pollenated SourDiesel, BlueMystic, SensiStar, and Mazar. I just wish I had a whole warehouse to grow in so I could make 20 starts out of each cross at the same time, and start looking for the traits i'd like to bring out.

Really enjoyed the details of the journal. I have been on the fence as what to buy for a light source? Was looking at a Galaxy 600 digital ballast with a hydrofarm AC 6 inch reflector . Can you give me the details of your vegging bulb ? Great job on the grow !!! I was at the hydro store today and the guy tried to convince me that two 600 watt lights was too much for a 5 x 10 area . Im going to try soil my first attempt . Thanks for all the details !

He is running a 400w mh ceramic bulb that covers more spectrum. I think he explains it more in his Jock Horrow grow that you can find a couple pages back
600w technically should cover a 6'x6' area so i dont see how thats too much in a 6'x10' room or maby go to 2 400w

i think 2 4's would be too little light for a room that size. 2 6's would be much better. i don't know what the fuck that guy was thinking. 1 1000 watter with a light mover would also kick ass in a room that size.
