    hi everyone, i am a first time grower. i have a quick couple of questions. i appreciate any responses.
    for veg i have two 48" 40watt flouros for 4 plants of
    ak-47, in a 2ft deep by 4ft long by 8ft high closet, is that enough light for this stage?
    For flowering i was wondering if 1 400 watt  hps lamp in the same closet would work for 4 plants, or do i need a 1000 watt hps lamp?      i really appreciate the help

    Yes....and yes ;) 400W is fine for 4 plants in that space to flower nicely.

    by any chance does anyone know approx. how long it will take ak-47 to veg and flower?

    You need to veg that ak47 for at least 8 weeks for maximum maturity..Then, you may flower at anytime after that stretch.Now, If they were clones off of a ak47 Motherplant, You could flower at any time due to the clones maturity.. Good luck to ya' CG [​IMG]

    sorry for yapping so much


    size of yield is not that important to me but the quality kinda is?

    If you want quality, then you MUST wait until the plant is fully mature..usually around 8 weeks is peak maturity for most strains.If you dont wait until the 8 weeks are up..you may lose potency,alng with yield.You heard the old saying "GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT".. You have to have some patience for the kind bud. Good luck, CG [​IMG]
