Day 62 since being able to identify all the plants gender. Did my flush a few days ago intending to harvest around day 70 give or take a few days.
I also had to start mine on a 10/14 light cycle last week to expedite the flowering process on some of the plants, the OG 18 can be a really unstable pheno. I got sativa and indica dominant plants out of the same OG18 seeds and quite a bit of variation.

Vegged for about 4 weeks.

My next grow is going to be a mix of Blue Dream, OG18, White Widow x White Rhino and some heavy BC Sativa.

yea the wally world stuff will obviously work according to your girls :) but what if it could be better? Just saying you should keep an open mind to new things. Dont get me wrong tho like i said they look REALLY good and tasty, but with pure organic nutes the flavor could be even better.

Btw i think i just identified a couple of my plants by your pics!! haha thats awesome bc i basically had a bunch of bagseeds(still new what they were supposed to be for the most part) mixed up in a container!

I do keep an open mind, and I am willing to try new things. I just haven't had the money to buy the more expensive nutes and soil. I've had good luck with the cheap shit in past grows, so I have been sticking with it. I'm sure I will invest in some better shit down the road. I finally found a hydro store somehwta in my area, but when I went there they were closed already. They don't have regular stores hours. Go figure...LOl!

Damn lol sounds like you have my luck which has oddly been really good. Almost too good; scary good... lol anyways yea thats a good thing and very understandable thing considering predictable harvests are always good! Yea my area just got a new hydro store too. Before it was home depot, lowes or the local nursery. Which the nursery has some really good stuff but not everything you need more for outdoor gardening. The hydro store i love tho they have all the best organics and hydro equipment. Hell i even found a GOOD set of 5 bubble bags for $50 bucks. Damn good deal if you ask me. But yea im having fantastic results with this product. And you get a pretty good size bottles as well. the bottles are still pretty close to full since i started lol

Okay fella's I am posting some pics of a few leaves that have started to pop up on my plant. The leaves start off having these small red dots on them. You could consider the color of the spots as a redish rust color. It's not on all of the leaves, but there are a significant amount of infected leaves on her. The infected leaves with the red dots seem to have red stems as well. I'm thinking that it is a Potassium defiency. Although I am still fairly new at this, and I haven't ran into this problem before. So any help on what I should do to fix this would help. I flushed the shit out of her yesterday, and I think she looks a little better today though. Just so people know I am growing in Miracle Grow soil in 5 gallon pots under a 400w HPS with about 100w of CFL's for supplemental lighting. I have some cheap nutes from Walmart, and I think it is called Expert Gardener. I think it is just a generic brand for Miracle Grow. The bloom nutes are 15-30-15. I watered both plants with a 1/4 tsp to a big watering can. I didn't notice any problems from either plant after I did that. I have only fed them like that twice so far. I normally don't have to feed my plants a whole lot for them to thrive. Anyways here are few close-up pics of the infected leaves:Any help with this matter would be deeply appreciated, so please help a honkey out! Lol!

So I should try adding some cal/mag stuff? I don't have any on hand. Can you buy that at a local store such as Walmart, Lowes, or Home Depot. Or is this something you have to buy at a hydro shop? Or is there something else I should use? Magnesium is part of the micro nutrients right?

I grow in hydro so im not sure, but looked some stuff up and it sounds like you may be over feeding it, So you might like to flush and see what happens a couple days after. And you can get that at walmart while atleast online and in some stores, and i think i saw that at home depot too. Hers's a link for you http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688

Thanks buddy. I actually saw some Cal/Mag from Botanicare along with 2 other bottles of nutes (grow and bloom) for about $25. They also sell Fox Farm nutes online at Walmart. I was really surprised to see that. I had no idea that they sold FF at all more less online. I did flush her real good yesterday I believe. It doesn't look any worse as far as those dots on the leaves go, so I may have dodged the bullet. I will just feed water for a while just to make sure it wasn't from overfeeding. I only gave it nutes twice since it started flowering at very low doses. It didn't affect the OG#18, and I heard it was a light feeder. So I don't know. It isn't like my Ak is going to die from its issue, so I'm not to worried about it. I just need to maximize my yield since I only have the 2 plants now in flower. I have 3 White Diamonds that have all germinated now. 2 of them popped with the whole damn seed shell intact, so I had to get the exacto knife out and do surgery to get them off. The 1st one is doing fine now. The other one I did this morning, I don't know if it will make it or not yet. I think that it will because I don't think I did any damage when I removed the seed shell.

Checked out my White Diamond's this morning, and they are all doing fine under the 2 CFL's in my homemade veg box. I was worried since 2 of them poppped with the whole seed shell still intact. You couldn't see the cotlyledon leaves at all. They were still inside the seed shell. That's why I had to do surgery on them. I know if you aren't careful you can easily kill your seedlings by damaging these important cotlydon leaves. I'm all good though. No worries!

I had too, but I haven't ever had the whole shell on there so damn tight. I don't know how the tap root even made it out of the shell. Lol! Oh well nothing to worry about now.

The OG#18 is smelling so damn sour and somewhat skunky I think, but I love the aroma. It is going to have some dense nugs I believe because what's there now is hard as rocks. I'm really impressed with it so far. I think I found a favorite in this strain as far as quality goes. I know it's still early, but I have a good eye at what is good when they are this far along. I might grow this strain next rip and switch up on the other strains I was going to grow depending on how it turns out. I'm fucking stoked.

Since I flushed the Ak-47 it hasn't gotten any worse that I can see. It may have even gotten better. The Ak-47 has alot of visible trichs everywher. That is a great sign. All the leaves have trichs on them. Even the fan leaves have trichs. It has a smell that I can't quite put my finger on, but I think it may be cherries. I have no idea what it is supposed to smell like or taste like so I don't know. Them smell isn't strong like the OG#18 at least yet anyway. I'm looking forward to this Ak-47 because it looks to yield quite well.

I haven't heard shit about how the Ak-47 tastes or smells according to people who have grown it before. I'm not sure if what I smell is cherries but it is definitely a sweet fruity smell but it isn't very strong. You have to get your nose on the plant and rub it to smell it at all. It could be that the OG#18 is just overpowering everything with its dank ass smell so much so that it makes smelling the Ak-47 somewhat hard. Lol! I hope that it is that "cherry pheno" that you are talking about.

You ever smoke some AK-47? Mann.. The last time I tried that it was right along with "Green Crack" and they were both phenomenal smokes. In other words...

I got medicated.

I sure haven't brother. At least not that I know of, but from the looks of this beautiful lady that is already covered in trichs I will definitely get medicated as you say! I am anticipating it like a kid anticipates x-mas or their b-day! Lol! Thanks for stopping by Buddy Skunk!

I have read alot of people saying that Serious Seeds Ak-47 isn't nothing like it used to be, but I have to say that I am impressed with the way it looks right now. I know it is only going to get better looking as time goes on too! No complaints here.
