Nice trichome shot! Can't wait to see 'em as you get closer to harvest. Well done!

Great pics as usual Mr. Krip!
I remember this point in my grow really well, because I was thinking the ak was a 7-8 week strain and mine looked pretty lame still as far as being filled in. That's when I started really looking into when to harvest.
If you go to Single Seed Company and look up the AK, it says flowering is 7-8 weeks. But check out the ak47 description, it's like a cut and paste of the text. They give that flowering in days but otherwise... in the ak48 description they even call it ak47.
I don't know what the flowering really is for ak47's but that blurb was written for that strain. I've got to run now but I found another write up of the ak-48 that said it was 10-11 weeks, I'll look for it later. I think it's the link under Mmmmick's seed finder link in his sig. I immediately started feeling better knowing I still had weeks to go... plus I reset the clock back 10 days changing from 12/12 to true flower time.
Ok I'm back, this is from the seedfinder link, sounds like it's written by Nirvana:
AK strains have been gaining popularity steadily since the mid-1990s. Our AK-48 is one of the strongest early-finishing strains available anywhere. Plants produce hard buds with an exceptional and penetrating aroma. Although AK-48 is an Indica/Sativa hybrid, its effect tends toward the 'high' commonly produced by Sativas. Although most growers will opt for a longer vegetative period to improve taste, under perfect conditions, AK-48 may finish in as few as 48 days.
Yield: 300 - 400 grams/m² (SoG)
Effect: High
Grow height: Medium
Flowering Indoor: 9 / 11 weeks
---------------------------------------------
I'd love to know how someone could finish this plant in 47 days. They still tout what an early finisher it is but then say 9-11 weeks indoors. Seems like really sloppy work to me with these write-ups.
Blue, you're correct. I think I checked it on Attitude seeds and they listed the AK at 56 days of flowering time (8 weeks). I was definately a lot more concerned with the development UNTIL I saw your AK. Thank you!!!
I'm not gonna start the 3-week countdown for at least another week. We'll see how she looks next Saturday, and if she's ready, we'll start the Overdrive and reduction of nutes then, else, I'll just wait another week. I'm truly in no rush - anxious maybe, but not rushed!
You've got the right mind set, and I agree, I get very anxious around this time of my grows too! Hang in there bro!
Very nice Krip! They're filling out really well.
Just a best guess on my part, Mr. Krip, but that's exactly what I'd do based on your pictures. By the way - they look great, and are definitely starting to fatten up!
Thanks, Bro & I'm gladly hanging!
You were around at the beginning, NEP, so you know what I went through to get this far. I'm definately not gonna start freakin' out as long as they look healthy.
Thanks, Bro! I think I've recently found the secret to getting rapid bud & trich production...
First, every morning, just after lights-on, I open the flower cab and in my most cheerful voice say, "good morning, girls! Is that a pistil in your calyx or are you just happy to see me?" while beating on a metal trash can.
Then, I show them the pics of your Euforias and spend exactly 30 minutes ragging on them for slackin!
Since starting this routine, the bud development has been amazing!
Thanks for the good words and confirmation of my plan, XLR8.
Just a reminder.....when you think they are ready....wait another week.
I never scold my girls.....nothing but sweet talk!
