Nice trichome shot! Can't wait to see 'em as you get closer to harvest. Well done! 
DIY Stealth Cab, Hydro, LED & Multiple Strains in Small Space - Oh Boy!
Hi Mr Krip. 
Nice work on the photos. I agree with what you said a page back.....your going to have some big colas.

QUICK UPDATE - LOTS OF PICS
I trimmed the top on the hempy haze in veg that looks more like a hedge than a plant right now:
I also trimmed a lot of the fan leaves on the PE that were blocking other tops. I should have done this weeks ago, but have been too focused on what's going on in flower. Here's the PE after the trimming:
The hempy AK has been getting trimmed weekly to help slow some of the growth, but she's definately ready for a bigger hempy and I think I'm gonna toss the stunted Lucy to make room for her:
Finally, for veg, all four of the PE clones I kept are doing well and starting some vertical growth. I only took a pic of one, but they all essentially look like this:
On the flower side, tonight will be the end of week #7 of 12/12 for the AK and two days less on the haze. The cab looks like a jungle with all the large colas sticking up:
Colas are getting bigger, fatter & frostier:
I'll try for some more trich shots this weekend.
Happy Harvests!

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.

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!

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.

Oh cool - I tried seedfinder a week ago or so and it appeared the whole site was down. Felt kinda permanent. Really glad it wasn't! Love that site.

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.
Very nice Krip! They're filling out really well.
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!

Thanks for the reminder and I will comply!
My girls are somewhat submissive. They liked being tied up and berrated!

QUICK PIC UPDATE - 49 DAYS OF 12/12 ON THE AK
I'm gonna hold off on res changes until tomorrow, but did another foliar this morning of the SSU. These buds are definately packing on weight and frost quickly now. Where a week or so I was commenting that there's really nothing even "smoke-worthy" there, there is now!
It's still too early for me to start sampling but, based on the look & smell, I'm thinking four or maybe five more weeks, and I'll have a nice batch of some great meds.
Here they are today:
Happy Harvests & thanks for everyone's help!
