First grow journal - AK48

Hello all! I'm going to be doing three AK-48's from Nirvana under a 250W MH/HPS conversion setup. All three are feminized seeds so I'll be starting from mothers. I just got them today and put three seeds into starter plugs so lets get growing some

nice man, will be the first to say good luck with the grow, and have u tried ak47? if yes, which do u think is better ak47 or ak48?

Also what is ur set up, pics?

I've smoked, but not grown AK-47. Good stuff, I really liked it! Not the same breeder or genetics as 48 though from what I understand. Never smoked or grown AK-48 either, back in the day my project was Chrystal, Jock Horror, ICE, and Matanuska Tundra.

Well I had pics up on a seperate thread but had a little scare with the police a number of days ago (dispute with the neighbors) and got a bit spooked since my pics on here were geo-tagged and I hadn't realized it, but I'll go head and take a pic and attach it here with my setup since everything was resolved and I turned off geo-tagging on my smartphone.

BUT pretty simply I have a 2'x3'x7' grow tent I made out of PVC and mylar with a 250W MH/HPS, sterilite bins (doing a DWC setup) and all the constituent parts. I haven't hung the mylar yet but once my ladies sprout and are ready to go into their bubble buckets I will.

UPDATE: All 3 seeds popped and sprouted, and are currently under a 24" flourescent cabinet light. I'm stoked

Congrats on ur babys man.

Thank you sir now its time to get them vegging and on their way to growing into lovely ladies

BTW I've read a lot on AK-48 and I've heard mixed things on it. Some good, some bad (some say its not potent, others say its very dank; heard it can grow very airy buds, or be very dense and nuggety) Anyone out there got any reliable knowledge on how it smokes, tastes, smells, or what kinda phenos I may run into?

So, they germed a few days ago and are now under a basic cabinet light to pre-veg. After a couple weeks they'll get stuck under MH for another 2-4 weeks to finish vegging and to transition them to flower.

UPDATE: I gave my mother in law my 250W HPS/MH to put her plants (outdoor flowers and stuff) inside the corner of her garage. MEANING I'ma upgrade to a 400 or 600W setup hehehe

Can anyone give me a review on HTG Supply's setups? They seem cost effective but I'm just a little nervous of getting a cheap light, y'know?

Sup man IMO the best option to go with is a 400 or 600 watt if u got the extra cash and get the digital ballast set up.

I went with a 400. 600 would be hitting the point of diminishing return plus i need that spare 60 bucks for food. lol

SO: Heres a couple new pics I took today!


The two on the left and one on the right are my AK-48, the two that are germinating in the white cut-off cups are Sour Diesel X L.A. Confidential that I got from a buddy of mine. Lets see how they come out eh? He had an L.A. Confidential go male on him so now I have an assortment of seeds from it. Bubba Kush X L.A. Con, Sweet Tooth X L.A. Con, White Rhino X L.A. Con, and Super Silver Haze X L.A. Con

PICS: Yes, I'm still using my fluoro ATM, I haven't had time to set up the new 400W system. Come to think of it, I'm pretty damn lazy a lot huh? Screwit.. I'ma go take a couple norcos and a kolonopin, and pass out. Peace

Looking nice, Do you think this would grow under a 150w CFL light? I want to grow 2 or 3 Ak-48 strains,

And what are those brown things you are growing it in?

You could grow all this under a 150w CFL til it was ready to flower. For flower I'd suggest MINIMUM 400W high pressure sodium. (Which is what I have on hand spare)

Oh and the brown things are expanded clay pellets.
