Reading "The Greatest Show on Earth" by Richard Dawkins. I recommend it highly :)

...while I'm recommending books, read Howard Bloom's "Lucifer Principle" too :mrgreen:

Also, I have a ripe looking plant at 60 days that wants some pictures taken of her before she gets cut, and 2 ounces of properly dried and cured bud to show you folks tonight.

They are 4 day old seedlings right now in rootriot cubes under T-5Fluro and if theres any tips do's or dont's that you came across I would love to hear them!!! I dont wanna f up my 1st op and your grow looks as thoe it couldnt of went better so any advice on growing these lovely ladies send my way:)

a specific ? is how long did you wait before you moved the seedlings into their final grow pots?
Do they transplant well?

Let's see i'll try my best here.. highly medicated :eyesmoke:

perfect

very tolerant plant, it will take abuse, but try to stick with minimal feedings, at 1/4 strength until they show their first 7 fingered leaves. then go to full strength feedings. AK-48 likes to be moist to moist/wet at all times in organic grows (from experience) and would benefit more from letting the soil dry out to the center before waterings (but not to the point of wilting). they respond very well to 1 drop/gallon of superthrive through the entire grow.

the key is ensuring their environment is just right so that they can take care of themselves, not to take care of them human -> plant. don't think too much about messing up always ask yourself "what would nature do?"

started in jiffy pods as seeds, moved into 4" pots with soil when their cotyledons opened up and they started their serrated leaves, transplanted to 1 gallon pots when they had 3 fingered leaves, 1.5 gallon pots a week or so later, then into 3 gallon pots when they were 1-1.5 feet tall where they grew to 40-47 inches tall by harvest. every transplant resulted in zero signs of stress from the plants, so yes they transplant extremely well.

cheers, good luck :peace: bongsmilie

:blsmoke:thanks bro! So how good is the smoke btw? one-hit-quit fo show? I cant wait. You did some soil in your grow correct? if so what soil and nutes did you use? I got foxfarmOF and ProMix anti-fungal. Thinking about once my seedlings are 7-10days old Id throw um in the ProMix bc its not hot and has little nutes and then trans to the FF. I got HESI nutes along with voodoo juoice, bud X factor, beastie bloomz and cha-chaing as my steroids:mrgreen:

Thank you very much for the kind words ilov :) Definitely look forward to a smoke report as soon as the first nug is smokable :bigjoint:.

There's an auto AK-48? Right on, where did you get your seeds? I was under the impression up until now that AK-48 was a Nirvana advent.

I may be wrong but I am 90% sure that your plants are suffering from over watering.

The twisted effect is from a P def. Of course ph could also be to blame.
Either way they are growing which means it isn't detrimental.


I'm 3 weeks from harvesting my AK 48 which coincidentally is also my first real grow.

Good Luck.

Thanks for dropping by :) The smoke is unbelievable, one good hit is more than enough for me and it knocks all my friend's socks off right when they thought they were gettin' comfy. bongsmilie

I grew in an organic mix of coco/peat, perlite, and vermiculite. to those i added blood and bone meal, and from there i fed Mexican and Indonesian bat guanos as cold teas along with 1 drop/gallon of superthrive.

that's it :)

:peace:
