Nirvanas ak48 in hydro question

[mantizz007]

Well last nite I bought a 10 pack of AK48 fem's and am planning to go with the hydro setup I already have. It's a recirculating dwc and worked really well on my last grow. I've searched the forums and searched the posts and havent found any where someone has grown the AK's in a hydro setup. So has anyone done this and what was your outcome? I'm looking to build another of the same setups and try to do a perpetual grow. The way the description read roughly every 4 weeks or so I should be able to harvest and that would be the tits. So please if anyone has done this please feel free to either link me to some posts to read or pm me and let me know how your grow went.



This is a pic of the setup gonna add a res this time and build another exactly the same way 3 tubs 2 to grow in and a res. Thanks in advance everyone for any help it will greatly be appreciated.

I got 12 oz's last time differt strain though. It was a sdog hashberry cross which the cops killed my mom but a half pound sounds sweet. how many plants was that off? I was using floranova bloom all the way through with molasses. every 2 weeks I'd put a half a cup of peroxide just to keep things clean. What were you using to feed outta curiosity? Also was the finishing time any where near the 48 days they claim in the description? BTW sweet looking buds in the pic. How was the smoke?

smoke is still great as i snap a hit,, it was only 1 plant i thimk it was the pheno that i hear of cuz it stretched like nuts it woulda took up all 5 feet if i wouldnt of supercropped 3 weeks into flower ,, i did lucas formula and some mollasses toward the end 2 week flush and 48 days my ass!!more like 80 heres a white widow 20 days since the flip

8ozs under 1/2 of a 600w with 4 weeks veg. Single plant.
Highgrades Formula with GH3part. Solution concentration never higher than 750ppm
I <3 this girl. Been growing from same line for over a year. Incredible flavor/aroma incredible effect.

Nice bendo looks like the ak was a good choice. cant wait to get my beans. Hope I get a good freebie too. I wanna get one more strain but a fast finisher thats got a good potent stone to it.

~1.5-2lbs from 7 ak-47 w/ 2 600W in a RDWC set up. Vegged to 3.5ft tall including the height of the 5gal bucket. Water temps always at 69F and air temps were ~78-85F. Only nutes were DM Gold, add.27, and calmag. Also plan on letting them go for 65 days. Massive weight is put on in the last 15 days and you will disappointed if you harvest early.

This is solid advice. I concur wholeheartedly.

I def appreciate all the info just got my confermation email that my beans are on there way can't wait. Anyone grow a strain that's quick finishing? I wanna order one more looking for growers advise not the breeders bio.

 

[bendoslendo]

If you grow out a pack of Indica dom. hybrids your likely to find at least one pheno that finishes a week or so before the others.

I have a pheno of White Rhino (Green House) that is ready at 7 weeks. It yields less than the others however and after a few runs, I have stopped growing her out. I've had a similar 7 week pheno of Euforia (Dutch Passion) that I discontinued due to lack of aroma and sub-par medicinal effect.

If you want a growers advise, I'd advise not to grow quick flowering strains/phenotypes

Thanks bendo I'll just go for the 65 day mark. Don't wanna grow crappy weed.
