400w AK-48 closet grow

What up guys, here's what I've got so far in my second round of closet growing, I've got 4 Nirvana's AK-48 planted. They've been doing really well and are about 3 weeks in! On my last grow I skimped on the nutrients, and it really showed. So this time around I plan on really monitoring nutes and make sure I get it right.

I've just been using some 20-20-20 plant food for vegetative, but I have some Fox Farm bloom on the way for flower. Right now they are sitting under a 400w MH bulb, with a 400w HPS ready to be tagged in for flower. As you can also see I've been LSTing (I had quite a bit of success with LST with my last grow) so I'm doing it again!

From what I've noticed, very bushy plants, but I think we're doing alright so far! Let me know if you have any tips!

Heres a couple pics from sprout to where I am right now :) Take care guysIMG_1106.jpgIMG_1132.jpgIMG_1131.jpg

I've been still giving them the same watered down 20-20-20 plant food, they seemed to be reacting well, but now I've got what looks to be nute burn (from other examples i've seen). I watered them last night with just pure water, (I feed every other watering) and I water every 3 days. Am I just overreacting?

Sounds good man! Thanks!

Its been over a month since I've planted, I just repotted the other night, so now all 4 are sitting in 1 gallon pots! I've been keeping my eye out for signs of sex, but no big evidence of males so far, I have a hard time distinguishing between new growths and pistils, but from what I see so far, I think they may all be female. Guess we will just have to wait and see!

In terms of specifics, I've been watering with no nutes for the past week, letting the plants come back from an apparent overfeeding. They seem to be bouncing back! When should I start feeding again? I've watered down the solution but I'm scared I'm going to burn em again! I've got some Big Bloom on the way, I'm thinking another 2-3 more weeks before I put em into flower!

So good news: All 4 are female :-P

So I just switched my ladies to 12/12 a couple days ago, and also started with a 75% recommended dosage of Big Bloom (Waiting on tigerbloom to arrive). 3 of the plants seem to be recovering quite well from the nute burn I gave them earlier in the month, but as you can see, one of the plants looks quite a bit more yellow than the others.
I've checked my PH levels and everything seems to be good, maybe when I start added the tigerbloom she will start to green a little more?

I had heard that AK48 was a fairly stinky strain, Right now I have my carbon filter blowing air just into a bedroom, its definitely doing the trick right now, but when I start packing on the buds I'm worried it might be strong enough to come through the door...Might have to invest in some ona again

Anyways here's some recent pics :)

I grew AK-48 for this year's outdoor along with bluemysic and northern lights and the AK beat both of them by far

has great smell (stings the nose with intense hints of diesel and berries, its like gas fumes but with marijuana

bud growth was very dense and compact (no plant stretch)

it also flowered a month earlier and faster than the other strains and was the most mold resistant

Taste well cured: Spicy berries, a very sweet taste with peppery after tone's

got yourself a great strain have you grown it b4

So I had balls show up on 2 of them, so we're down to two of them! One seems to be REALLY doing great, and my other plant seems a little more yellow than i'd like, I haven't been overfeeding, it's just been yellow for quite some time... (I've been feeding the same thing to the other plant lol). My PH's have all been pretty solid around 6.

I've been feeding them Big Bloom full dosage for two weeks now, still waiting on the tigerbloom to really kick it up a notch before harvest.

thanks man, quick picture update! Been in flower for about 17 days now, starting to really get some bud spots :) The one plant is getting HUGE (hopefully it will stay shorter than my closet lol) I had done some LST on it, but not much, so it's not as short as it could be.

Im considering keeping the other one in the 1 gallon pot, just so its a little smaller! Tigerbloom arrived a couple days ago, so they've gotten a half dosage feeding of that, along with the bigbloom!

Just a quick update, I've been feeding both the ladies full dosage FF nutes for about a week now, starting to really take off budding :mrgreen:

So unfortunately because of landlord issues I had to cut em down early, but I took some pics the day we did it! I think they could have used a couple more weeks, but the bud ended up turning out great, gives an amazing high :-P Got 4 ounces after drying! Enjoi
