A look at all 25( well most are in the pic)
Hobbit.
Critical jack.
These 2 are ak-49 that are in 1 1/2 gallon containers.I am not sure that the smaller containers are causing them to flower earlier then the plants in the 3 gallon pots.I do have one in 3 gallon pot that is just about at the same speed as these 2.I really dont care.At the end is when i will learn how pot size effects the yield of ak-49.I also have one hobbit in a 3 gallon pot and one in a 1 1/2 gallon pot.Another note.The ak-49 seems to be a strain that has the light pale green leaves.Not the dark green like a indica dominant plant.this is the cause for the slight over nute.Since i thought they might be lacking nitrogen when in fact they where healthy.I try to feed them before they start really showing deficeincy.Might of jumped the gun alittle.Experience and common sence tells me to stick to my schedule!But this is the first grow,in awhile i have not done a strain i have a history with.Attachments

one more pic of the pitcher grow.I am experimenting with pot size for the reson the last few grows my plants have gotten to be 3'-4' tall.I miss the days of plants that where in the range of 2'-3' tall.maybe the ample lighting has somthing to do with them growing so big!I was use to run 10-15 under 2-400 watt hps.
Midman,.....hiya,..........you say this is your first grow,...........Yes..?/....... cuz if you aint experienced what this lot is going to put out "Odiur" wise,............when fully fruitified !!............your in for the mother of all stinks son. One you can smell for "Lets say Along way"...!!...............have you got at least 3 125mm pheat carbon filters in place ??................25 full stonking ladies thats over 7 per can !!............AB................how are they stinking at the mo Middy ?? how are you getting fresh air changes ??.....do you hand water or auto feed 25 ??.....................AB..........

No doubt about it guys, there's lots of good stuff out there by many different breeders,...but there's also plenty of shwag too. Right now it's a total freakin' scrumm amongst these companies to elbow their way into a quickly saturating market, and some product is definitely coming out half-baked. I was so leary of this that I spent hours and hours scanning the threads to try and build some kind of concensus of which breeders were reputable, which strains were good candidates for meeting my grow criteria, and grinding over which ones to try out!! :joint:
The plants look great Mid'! Leaf color is highly variable, both genetically and environmentally; if they're getting strong light, they don't build up as heavy a chlorophyll density because they don't need it, so leaves will be lighter in color, relatively speaking. If you're running strong and long on the light, plants will size up accordingly; maybe if you dial back the duration of light (not intensity), the ladies will stay shorter... (ask around about this from experienced indoor growers, which I'm not... my suggestion comes from what I know about plant responses in general)... those stout AK's in the small pots look like they might get too tight later during budding, stunting prodution likely; you know how much bigger they will get as they flower,.... again, ask around. If they were my outdoor plants, I'd move them up to something 3gal-ish in volume.... take a peek at the root mass by gently lifting out of the pot to assess it's density. If it's a tight basket network of roots now, move'm up. It's too late in the game now to restrict their height anyway, so let'm go nuts, mate! (lol) I get a kick out of the pitcher plant! It looks really tight in there though,... you're in a position to test all this out if you like; leave one AK like it is and up-size the other, just to see...

Not first grow.Just first ak-49 grow.my last grow was 32 plants 14 critical 15 royal dwarfs1-ak 3-berryryders.I have filters in place with fresh air being pumped in with on system. hand water.Each plant is numbered and data recorded in log book.
week 5/ day36 update
Here is a ak-49 in a 1 1/2 gallon pot and a over all look at plants
These are the Hobbit sisters.Smaller one is in a 1 1/2 gallon pot and has small buds.Larger is in 3 gallon growbag.

The pitch-o-pot. Everything seems right on schedule. i assume the next week will bring abundant flowering.I believe ph issues that caused mild lockout has been corrected for the most part.I will know in a few days.

Everything seems right on schedule. i assume the next week will bring abundant flowering.I believe ph issues that caused mild lockout has been corrected for the most part.I will know in a few days.Well week 6 is approaching fast budding is in full swing.I have some Deficeincy issues that are being addressed at the momment.I had to add some Cal-Mag 1 tbs per gallon to correct some issues.Now after a couple days effected plants are looking better.All plants in 1 1/2 containers have turned out to be tall and lanky.Not sure why? All other ak-49 have taken a nice structure and appear's that they will end up in the 30"- 40" range. I must say i am quite impressed with the pitcher -o-pot.She looks so good for being in just a half gallon pot.Good size,structure,and no other problems.Now i will have to wait and see how big those buds that have started growing will get.There will be a picture update towards the end of the week. hobbit in 3 gallon container has nice full structure.Her sister in 1 1/2 gallon pot is tall and lanky.Critical jack has started packing on the bud as well!

Now here is a AK-49 in a 11/2 gallon container
Here is a look at the rest of the AK-49
I will update the hobbit in a few days.They were among the few sick plants.Allow me to give a big THANK YOU out to muddy for giving me some important info reguarding PH and lockout problems.

That is some serious shrubbery Midman! Those AK's are definitely swingin' closer to their sativa side of the family with that build... They look fantastic bro' nice work! you must have caught that deficiency early,... you can't tell from the pics ... maybe the CJ looks a little yellow, but the rest.... :thumbs: And I'll be dipped if can account for the growth behavior of the 1.5'ers vs. the 3 gal and the pitcher! That's the Green Goddess messing with our heads :joint: How's the stank factor so far?
