Nirvana AK48 first grow

Hi there growers, I want to share with you my "green lab".
First thing I did read lot of info about growing, marijuana growing bible, other books, and of course this great forum.
Then I started to search for the strain I would like to grow and smoke. Wanted to find something easy to grow, as it is my first grow experience, wanted something that won't get huge, because my space is limited, and something more high than stoned. Checked lots of shops and strains, but some how stayed with nirvana shop and AK48 feminized, ordered 5 seeds, they came fast, packed in a free sample wallet. Great service. Then I ordered grow box from hydroponics.eu as I am from Europe. Shipping was free and fast. Ordered, ballast, 250w HPS and 250W MH lights, soil Atami, cooling reflector, carbon filter, Cellmax grow and bloom nutritions, the extractor fan, fan for air intake, some accessories, timers, wires n other shit.
Germinated the seeds, two of them went huge, two of them not so big and one of them didn't germinate at all, but its ok, because I wanted two plants all the time, germinated all 5 seeds so I can choose strongest two. Planted them in pots at 1st of september, planted for seeds and thinking to put i bigger pots just two of them.

I am running 20/4 hour light cycle, 250w MH at vegetative period. Pictures taken today, now they are week old.
The box is 0,5 Mq - 090x050x160cm size.
My extractor fan works on one timer with the light. But the air intake is on other timer and turns on for 15 minutes each hour, so the plants could get fresh air(from my room) but the box stays warm inside.
I have something about 28* Celsius inside there. Humidity about 45%.


Please feel free to comment, I want some critic, comments and suggestions. Do the plants look healthy? Are they big enough?

At the moment the third seed is catching the two biggest, how do you think will there be space enough for three plants and will the light 250W will be enough for three plants? Or just leave 2 biggest plant when moving them to bigger pots?


So here are pictures of my setup, my grow box, my plants. The picture where the plants are smaller is 2 days older.

any comments?

Looking good grower.
Loved my ak48!
It was also my first kind bud grow.

I would top them at about a Month old, an flower soon after.
It's important to keep your plants in the lights sweet spot.
Check out the yield o ramma lighting page it explains it all..

very useful link, and new information, thank you.

Some new pics.

You can see that one plant is turning a little bit yellow can it be from overwatering?

Its hard to see, because the leaves seems all yellow in pictures, but in the first picture you can see it closer.

Day 9

Have anyone used Cellmax nutes? Using them, but thinking about BioBizz.

Day 12.


Are they big enough?

Not sure but they sure look great!

Ive just took the light a little bit higher so the plants stretch a little. The lamp was something like 7 cm from the plants all the time.

Day 14

They have streched a little.

Hey guys, have a little problem, one of my plant leaves turned yellow with yellow spots, you can see it in the picture, can anyone help and tell what it is?
My PH is 6.8-7.0 so it can't be Ph burn. Growing under 250W MH on vegitatite period, the light is like 15 cm from the plant, all the time it was something like 10 cm from the light, so it can't be light burn. Using fertilizers, but my mistake was that i used them in every watering, using Cellmax grow mix, can it be a fertilizer burn? Or maybe nitrogen deficiency? Thank you a lot.
Its only few leaves like that.

just use straite water for next couple of feed..water until the run off out bottom of pot..nice thread start im subbed

Thank you, will try that.

Day 15.

Replanted them in bigger pots. Now there are only two plants left, because of the small space and only 250W bulb.

Day 18

In which week you put your ak48 in flowering?

looking good mate there comin on nice...

Those plants look great and I highly recommend topping them after they have grown 5 true nodes. I did my AK-48 and they turned out awesome. Currently growing Chocolope and my next grow will be Pineapple Express, Plushberry, and Sour Cream.

Thank you. Trying to take good care of them.

Thinking about the topping.

Loquacious, in wich week you did put your plants into flowering? Yeaah, as the next grow I will take G13 Pineapple express.

u can put them into flowering anytime but usually after 4 weeks for good solid mature plants..

Thank you kevin murphy. Plants are starting to smell, mmm, so sweet.
