Thank you Mr GM.

I was looking at my past photo journals and see that this grow did indeed have a stunted beginning. But their progress has been as good as it's been in the past. So the plants seem to be 2 weeks behind optimum, which is the amount of time I was having germination/seedling problems. I have not checked trics yet as it's only been 4 weeks or so in flowering, but I hope they continue to flower for another six weeks or so. Some of the pistils are starting to dry out and color, but that's probably just from the bright light.
The AK does have a different odor, it's very pungent and strong. I have a hard time describing smells like that though. It is different from the haze, which has a nice smell also. I will try and observe what 'flavor' the smell seems to be.
