Organic Indoor AK-48 under T5 (Veg & Bloom) with BMO Nutrients

Here is a small update:

This is the biggest girl, she hit 18" right now at 9 weeks vegging. I'm thinking of flipping tonight. She is already 6" taller than I wanted her. A bit of smell beginning to come out from her. Pistils out the ass, calyxes starting to form slowly. I think it's time. Anyone have some thoughts?



2nd oldest girl. A bit more sativa looking; much more slender leaves. Darker leaves, also. No apparent smell yet.


Sorry for the lack of updates, been working a bunch. If I haven't stopped by your thread in awhile, I will soon.

Very nice plants Auzzie, I think it definitely time to flip, your going to have a monster on your hands lol.. +REP when I can!

Looking good man + rep..

i cant wait to see what you get at the end.. great looking plant man

Beginning to think that my city's water uses chloramides that don't evaporate off, even after letting the water still for 48+ hours. The oldest girl is starting to show necrotic spots, slight bronzing in spots near the sides of the leaf (mid-way down the leaf, not near the tips). Also, the girl is slightly wilting at all times. She never seems to get rigid. What is odd, is that only one of the girls is showing signs of this, the other ones are doing fine. My hypothesis would be genetics. Possibly through evolution and breeding, certain strains begin to gain tolerance for chlorine levels (possibly plants that are continually fed low-chlorinated water), where as some breeds don't (and are given 0 PPM water, i.e. Reverse Osmosis). Again, this is just me guessing though...

Either way, she seems to be doing fine, after one night under 12/12 the pistils continue to bust out at an amazing rate. There is some slight yellowing on the lowest fan leaves, I'm taking this to be that they aren't receiving the light they need because of the canopy. Either that, or she needs a little nitrogen boost. Any thoughts on this would be great. Hell, this could also be from my possible chlorine toxicity. Feel free to school me, I'm going to go snap a couple pictures.

Buddy of mine is saying it is more likely Magnesium deficiency (No, not again! That was how my aromatic Blackberry died.) or Nitrogen deficiency due to the veins remaining green, but yellowing all around it. With that being said, I am about to feed them a solution of 100 PPM BMO Grow It Green, 100 PPM Flower Power, a bit of Advanced Nutrients Nirvana, and then 1 TBSP of Epsom Salt. Wish me luck.

Edit: Epsom salts raised the PPM levels from ~165 PPM (straight from the tap, and pH'd with lemon juice) to over 1000+. Far out!

Some pictures for diagnosis help.

I recently saw someone with the same strain and same issue? I wonder if it is strain related now? Sorry to say, it was undiagnosed still.

Nice work. I have ak48s growing too!

RXGrowr, did you have Mag issues, if not what was your fert schedule?

Don't want to hijack, but these look like exactly the same thing. I was able to find this picture of AK48 from attitude online. What you guys think?

Everyone, please please please read the whole thread. I AM NOT GROWING AK48 DUE TO NIRVANA BEING A BUNCH OF ASS-JOCKEYS. I've explained this at multiple times throughout the thread.

Here ids a link to a thread I created for the deficiency at hand. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, yo.

I ended up flushing her with 2 gallons of pH'd water. Cut off some completely yellow leaves, and am hoping for the best.

for sure, GL and hope that works for ya...

Looks like the yellowing has slowed down a bit. Calyxes are beginning to multiply/fatten up a bit. In a week or so, I'd say some of the branches will be filled in with bud, rather than many sparse buds down a branch. I'll get some pictures up here in a minute. Gotta find my laptop/phone/camera chargers and pack one up.

Update later after lights on. Things are looking much, much better, fatter, and frostier.
