This is a picture of a plant i had before i found this website. i knew nothing about growing. i used the dirt from my backyard, i diddnt use any nutes. the first month of it life it was under unussable light. when i did add the right lighting i had it too far away from the plant. the horse shoe shape if from a late attempt to LST the plant. it was a complete disaster. my green thumb is so good i still managed to put this bitch into flower and the only reason i got rid of it was b/c a friend of mine saw it so i made sure i cut the plant down right in front of him. i do not consider that plant my first grow. im on my first grow now!! that plant was a long lost expierament!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha hilarious that's your plant, sry bro, its fucking crazy looking. Me and NCG thought it was that other dude posting and asking what was happening(like it was his plant) but now makes me laugh cause its yours my friend haha

I woke up today and checked on my girls and my bigger one had grown over an inch in the night and was getting burnt by my bulbs haha shesa becoming a beast for how small she is lol

Oh and I was gonna say something about how abervaldez has been here since 2008 lol

isnt it funny. thats my horse shoe plant. thats what it reminds me of! believe it or not that plant was like 3 months old in that pic!

Its so fucking lengthy, guessin the lights wernet even close to the plant and that's why it stretched so much.

im glad i had her though! i got to see first hand what all these mistakes do to a plant. She was doomed from the start. i guess thats y this grow is going better!!!

i was checkin my plants out and come to find out i have a venus flie trap. a fly got stuck to the trichomes and got stuck. now hes dead with one leg still hooked. the plants themselves have great defences!!

your Ak's look great!! mine were about the same size when i started to flower mine. you can put your girls into flowering at any point. go and look at my last pics posted. your plant will prolly be bigger than that if u flower now. (u gotta bigger light)... how tall can u let them get?

Click to expand...

Yeah, they are growing like weeds. I've decided to go to 12/12 this weekend about 50 days from germination. How tall? This is my first grow, so I dunno. They have to stay under 4 foot in this tent when you account for the big hood and the gap between flowers and the light. I've got some stuff called Bushmaster that's supposed to stop vertical growth at the beginning of the flower phase. It's some kind of hormone or something. I heard Zandor on The Grow Report podcast talk about it. So I don't think height will be a problem.

I'll drop in once in awhile with some pics if you want seeing as our plants are related, and of course, a smoke report in January after harvest and curing

Here's a few pics of my 2 girls and some close ups of some bud porn for ya guys lol

Here's a few pics of my seedlings, the bigger one is the kandy kush, the leaves are sparkley its weird, I tried to get some up close pics to show ya.

4 ft is more then enough Shemp. i dont think u need to worry about vertical height..lol.. deff. post some pics and i cant wait till were both smokin ak-48!!

quantum that is a great lookin plant. look how tall she is already. she is stretchin out nicely. it never gets old seeing the white hairs. its like bliss knowing youll be able to smoke that shit!! those babies r springing to life quick. i love that shiney shit. ive never seen that before. it almost looks like some tiny trichs!!

my plants have been flowering for 5 weeks as of today. my plant has about 2 more weeks until there are no more fan leaves. i will post some pics later. the pistil hairs are startng to brown up quite a bit. i dont know if i have nute lockout or if im actually underfeeding them. at this point i dont really care. if i had to clip the plant right now i would be happy with the bud. i think it will make it a couple more weeks though. i will post some pics after while!!

damn i totally forgot. i wont have the camera for a week. that really sucks. i will try to take some with this web cam but the pics are usually shitty. on a good note. i was examining the trichomes today and i saw one that had an amber head. evidently im getting the clear and milky ones confused. shouldnt be too much longer!!!

Lookin way nice.. Excellent job. keep growin:

Whats up guys, Just letting you know I am back. All is still not well, but I am back.

Give me a little to get situated, take a shower, feed the plants, smoke a bowl and catch up on the thread. Ill post replies to whatever is needed in a bit.

Hey quantum those are looking great. Good to see them starting to bud. How long ago did you start the flowering cycle? I started mine in 12/12 a few weeks ago, they did not start budding up until 7 days ago, So they are a week in. but they look like they been going for 2 weeks. They buds are packing on fast. Ill post some pics up later after I get caught up on the thread.

Sorry to butt in on the conversation, but I just snapped this picture of my 38 day old Nirvana AK48s and I thought you might enjoy seeing it.

The two in the back just got super cropped which is why the tops are laid over. The leaves look a bit more Indica on mine I would say. They are tanning under a 400 MH in Happy Frog and get FF Big Bloom and Grow Big every other day in RO water PH'd to 6.3. I'm pleasantly surprised how short and bushy they are. Next decision to make is when to make the switch to 12/12. About what day did you switch to flower Mr. Sharp?

Welcome to the thread. Nice grow man. Your AK48 looks very similar to a AK47 I grew. True short compact indica with big broad fanleafs.

sorry for the double post, lol, 'classic' newbie error? I was having some issues with leafs burning on edges, and dying off, i assumed it was mag def, as well as some books i had indic that i had a cal deficiency as well, have sprayed with epsom salt in the prior week, and this week added cal mag grow to my arsenal, plants seem to be adjusting well..oh i had flushed initially, i am using 3 gal pots so used 9 gal of water to flush eash plant. i am using reverse osmosis water and each plant is being hand watered twice a day. the plants all are under constant 24 hrs of light and hvae not shown any signs of flowering, which is good?! yes? I am hoping to maximize yield with these autos, and was interested in seeing how they would react under constant light. i will be starting 4 of them into flower very soon, within the week probably, so more updates will be added. please let me know your opinions or questions with my grow thanks a bunch!

Welcome to the thread. Looks like you have everything in order. Your working with a good line of nutrients, and some pretty good strains. I have a feeling you are not such a new grower, and if you are a new grower thats a huge project to take on for a first grow. Hey, I noticed you have a DrGreenThumb Strain. I have his endless sky, its very good stuff, very sweet tasting.

Sounds like your plants are responding well to your epsom salt treatment. That's a good thing. And you did very good with the flushing. That's a excellent flush. (3to1 ratio)

Yes, if your exposing your plants to 24hrs of light, they will not start flowering, that is completely normal. I myself do not like to give them 24hrs of light because a lot of important plant beneficial things go on during the darktime.

Goodluck with everything.

Kratose, good to see ya here man. Feel free to sendin me a private message to catch me up. I woke up to find that my girl had grown into the lights again and even more this time haha. Light were on for only 20mins beofre I noticed, so a slight burn but not enough to worry me.

I believe they have been in flower for about 2 weeks. But I'm not really sure, id have to go back in the thread and look. I'm not concerned about how long they have been in flowering or in veg because the buds will tell ya when they are ready. Plus I'm a stoner so short term memory is a blank haha

Thanks man. Yeah I will PM you with what has happened.

Yeah, I count day one from when it starts to flower, not when I put it in 12/12. I notice a lot of growers start day when they switch the lights to 12/12 but that's inaccurate. Because the plants do not start reverting to flowering on the first day. Sometimes it takes a week or two before it does. Then that's when you start day 1. But I think you and Rsharp will be blown away by how much bud development there is for 1 week.

Ill be here waiting for your pics lol

Here are some pictures of the OG Kush.

I tell you from looking at the bud development you would think they have no problems what so ever. It does seem like they are starting to recover from there problems (Meaning it hasn't been getting any worse the past few days) But there has been a lot of damage done.

So without further delay. The pictures. (They were taken on day 6 of flowering)
