AK47 in flower looks great. Her leaves are happy enough that she can take a few more nutes - change from 5 to 7, or 7 to 10 or something about 1/3 more each feeding.
Of the plants you pictured, AK47 is the only clone large enough for nutes. In general, clones like their nutes sooner than seedlings. I would use plant water (or water with some transplant nutes,) for the first watering, when AK47 dries next time, try full strength nutes (Full strength for her young age.) For the other clones, I would wait until I see new growth after transplant, then turn on the flow of nutes.
They look great bro
Thanks Rad. I feel like AK is doing well so I wanted to wait for your opinion before giving her and GBK any nutes. I think they will both be dry enough to feed tomorrow. I hadn't thought about the first AK clone possibly needing some also.
I just finished playing in the garden for now. I measured GBK and she is 22 inches across and 20 inches tall. I think she could use some more room soon but I don't want to set up the 36 inch tent yet.
I repotted the two seedlings and potted the second AK clone into 3 gallon pots. I should be able to fit the second GBK clone in there when she is ready if I throw out the leaf experiment.
I also decided it was time for AK to start getting some UV so I replaced the cob on a 10w flood light (2.2w actual) with a UV chip. If she needs more later, I have another chip and a couple of drivers that deliver the full 10 watts.
Lets see if AK responds well to the UV. It is pretty low wattage so I'll leave it on with the other lights at 18/6 for now.
I still need to mix up some nutes for the big girls.
Go easy on that UV light. Ultraviolet is an extremely energetic wavelength. To give you an idea of its intensity the wavelength above ultraviolet is x-rays. You can easily burn your plants with ultraviolet light. Try not to give them any more than a half hour a day usually at what you would consider your "peak noon hour" period.
Thanks Jimmy. I'll go put it on a separate timer right now.

Cool UV picture
22" across and 20" high is a pretty good size for flowering. If your veg lights are intense, I'd grow her up to 26" high. If your veg lights are wimpy, (like my T5 CFL), and there is space to share a tent with AK47, you might consider going to flower with GBK.
Here's hoping your AK47 is as good as mine - I took my first 2 hits of the day 5 minutes ago and my consciousness is firmly in the brain category of 'really stoned.'
I've looked in the tent a few times today and wondered if I could trim a little bit to try out.
I never thought to get a pic of the UV by itself until I looked in the tent after starting to move the power cords around to get the UV on its own timer. I saw that and had to share.
I bought the metal to make frames for the new lights today and should have some assembled soon. I've been tempted to add another light above GBK and will go ahead and do that in the next couple days. There is no way I could fit her into the 32" tent with AK. She will either have to wait or I'll have to decide where to set up the 36" tent.
I'm glad to hear that your AK is so good. I've looked in the tent a few times today and wondered if I could trim a little bit to try out.
Oh neat they are starting to say Cobs are the future. Well not starting but they are gaining more popularity as time moves on.If you're a interested in a low cost flower cob try the Vero 18 BXRC-17E4000-D-74. They're $12 CAD each and you can run 5 on a very cheap Meanwell HLG-120h-C1050
They are red AF! Bridgelux markets it as a HPS replacement and it pumps out that 650nm-750nn reds (and infra red) you can't get from any other cob.
Here's the vid I made.
