Im at about day 48 with my AKR. They are in 5g pots, so im not sure if that has extended the grow time or not. Either way I would say the description of "55 days from seed" on the package is false. Expect more like 65-70 days from what I've read.
Also, I'm not sure the trics on AKR will go Amber. 100% cloudy might be as good as it gets. But I guess we will know for sure when Scott817 finishes his up.
Scott do you have any Pics of your AKR? I would love to see them.
