Currently growing AK 47 in soil, they are 3 weeks (veg) and going to 12hrs in 10 days. I have currently only been giving them water but will be starting to give them some nuits to help them at the flowering stage.
Would appreciate any advice on the best ones to use and should i up the dosage every week???

With the soil you are using,doe's it have any slow release fertilizer in it ?

Otherwise buy a fert suitable for tomato's and use it once a week at half strengh ,its easier to fix any problems that may arise,if you under feed rather than overfeed.

So we can help more, tell us the power of your light, what type it is, how far away from your plants you will keep it, the exact soil you are using, have you leached the pot already? Do you plan to? Which fertilizer you want to use vs the ones we tell you are good :) Depending on if you plan to use chemical vs organic fertilizer will depend on how often you fertilize :) Tell us about the area your plants are in, is the environment totally under control? How hot is it with the light on? Light off? Do you have a fan on these plants. Tell me/us everything and this way I/we can give you either exact answers, or very close :) Hope this helps, have a great day! Ond oh, btw have you grown ak-47 before? Where did you get the strain? Seeds? A clone? Do you know what phenotype it is? ak-47 is what I have been growing for over two years, so I know this plant inside and out. Hope to hear from you soon. 408SOLO>

The lights i am using are 250w Metal Halide and a 70w sodium for veg and then 250w sodium with the 70w sodium. The lights are being kept 14-16 inches from the tops of the plants.
The set up is in the attic 4ft(w) x 5ft(l) x 3ft(h).
The temp with lights on is 28c - 30c with lights of it is 20c - 22c. At the moment it is not temp controlled with heaters, timers.
I have a home fan in the grow room which is on when the lights are on.
The plants are 18 days old on 18hrs light, they are 6inchesx2 and 5.5 inchesx2. They are from cuttings i got off a friend of a friend.
I have never grown this strain this is my first set up in 4yrs.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Again

Sorry forgot about the soil.
I will let you know soon all the details concerning the soil.

Hey garyabod, sup bud! So if you can control your environment that would be great :) Is 28c 72f? I forget how it works out :) If you can get to 72f-80f that would be great! Get a fan to blow air all over your plants. ak-47 is a 60%sativa 40%indica. The pheno I have tends to grow like a christmas tree with fat fan leaves. She will grow 2x her height when forced into flowering 12/12 the flip. So be aware of that :) She isn't to fussy of an eater, but I can tell you she likes to start off slow with her nutes, gradually build up little by little in the nutrient section every week or two, after the middle ground she can take a lot of nutes. Just in my experience anyways, with the nutes I feed her :) She is going to REAK! Very fruity, very pungent! So be aware of that :) If you have in the attic air-ducts, try to buy some home depot hepa filters and staple them to the airways to prevent spores from coming in and creating pm "powdery mildew" :) I use "power flower" with lots of perlite to flower my biatches :) If you need any more help just holla! 408SOLO>

p.s. If the soil your using has no nutes, definently start giving some like NOW :) You might need some dolomite lime to add to your soil, just depending on the fertilizer you will be using and the soil you are using :)

Thank You 408solo if need more help i know who to contact.

The soil that is being used is slow release nutrient and also hold moisture. It is also peat free. So there are plenty of nuts in the soil.
