Arteekay's Second Grow - Autos & Feminized - Mixed Strains

[STIHL LOGGER]

True to form and as always, a stellar job RTK

 

[arteekay]

once again buddy! Beautiful buds and you took lots of great pics. I think I took 5 total and we will see if some are blurry but there was trimmin to do!

Quick question on CR. How big is that air pot? Looks quite large.
Bob

Hear ya on the trimmin' vs. picture takin'. I can tell Jaybiz gets a bit annoyed with me and my camera.

It's a 4.6 g airpot, we have two 1.5 g ones as well but we'll never use them for pot again. Dry out way too fast.

Awesome journal following the CR it's my next grow

We vegged this girl a bit long for her scrog, but otherwise she's been an easy grow. Three or four more weeks still to go.

Big AND beautiful! Just a joy of a grow and I am happy to see it! So proud of my buddies up in the great white north. I'm sure Red Green smokes and he would be proud to smoke that im sure. Haha I'm not sure he does but he really should.

If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you well stocked with weed. With weed you can buy a handyman with his own rolls of the Handyman's secret weapon.

It has been a pretty stable run so far, knock on wood. Getting more brave though with every cycle.

Hahaha! I can't imagine that Red Green doesn't smoke. LOL!

"I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess." They had to be high to write that.

Between Red Green and Trailer Park Boys, it's a wonder Canada gets any respect at all.

True to form and as always, a stellar job RTK

Thanks bud.

March 18 Update. JH and CR are 79 days old. R2 is 15 and D2 is 4 days old. CR is 29 days since her flip to 12/12.

CR is 10-11 inches below the Spider x4, Temp is 78 and RH is 48% at the canopy, 77 and 52% at the top.

Temp for JH, NEM, and R2 peaked at 87 today with RH at 36% during lights on. They are on an 18/6 schedule and JH is 14 inches below her Mars II 900. R2 is off to the side and is about 25 inches from the light. D2 is 30 inches away.

• D2 got 300 ml of bubbled tap water at 5.7 PH in a small circle around her stem

We decided to turn the second Mars II 900 back on and move more of the veggies into the auto tent for now. This gives the Jack Herer auto a pair of 900s to sit under, with everything else scattered around the perimeter to keep them away from all that light. Wasn't happy with the lower temps and higher humidity we were getting when we were only running the one.

Jaybiz did a massive lollipopping and some defoliation on his Crown Royale photoperiod. She's really starting to stack and frost up.

D2 (6.0 down from 6.6 yesterday, 6.6 again after watering):




R2 (7.4 lbs, down from 7.8 yesterday):










JH (15 lbs, down from 20 yesterday):
















We jarred DD and NEM a couple days too early, still hitting 80%+ in the jars. We spread DD out in the open for a couple hours tonight:

Red Green is quite popular up here in Alaska too! I want a duct tape RG vape! It would be a something like a hair dryer, shop vac hose, and a shower head.

4.5 G on the airpot! Got it. I have never used them but they look incredibly cool and space age. Under that screen even more so. Oh and it looks like you have bud bats in your attic.

Bob

EDIT: WOW What an update! It loaded when my post did. Love the CR up close pics of the screen setup and all!

 

[ShiggityFlip]

Scrog pics are epically awesome.

Haha, yeah it's just odd when that happens. simul-posts...

I've been wildly impressed with how well the fabric pots work, but the air pots have their advantages as well, not the least of which is how easy it was to attach the SCRoG Jaybiz built.

Scrog pics are epically awesome.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Biz's hooked on it now for sure. We learned a lot that we should have already known, there's nothing like hands on experience as the teacher.

I'd imagine more of them will be built in the coming months. hehehe

Woot! See that folks? I got a drive by wave from a Youtube star. Wanna play 6 degrees of Pigeons420 anyone?

We did up a decent sized bong hit followed by good sized joint of our Dark Devil this afternoon. She's just incredible, so unique in flavor and effect. Thanks so much one more time for turning us all on to this strain.

Thanks Hozona and welcome. Great to meet ya! Sue's passing left, so grab a chair on that side.

 

[SweetSue]

I knew you'd like that high. The beautiful colors, the smell - does yours have a berry smell? , the taste, the incredible buzz. It's one of the best strains I've come across. Good enough that I'll always have one growing. You probably will too, from the looks of it.

Oh. Thanks.

I keep getting distracted. Started out for bed about an hour ago. LOL! Let me try again. Now I'm starting to yawn, so the sleep gods may be kind tonight. Good night arteekay.

March 19 Update. JH and CR are 80 days old. R2 is 16, D2 is 5, and LS is 1 days old. CR is 30 days since her flip to 12/12.

CR is 10-11 inches below the Spider x4, Temp is 79 and RH is 48% at the canopy, 78 and 51% at the top.

Temp for JH, NEM, and R2 peaked at 87 today with RH at 39% during lights on. They are on an 18/6 schedule and JH is 14 inches below her Mars II 900. R2 is off to the side and is about 25 inches from the light. D2 and LS are 30 inches away.

• R2 got 720 ml of bubbled tap water at 5.7 PH.
• JH was flushed with 4 liter of water at 5.7 PH, followed by 6 liters with 7 ml each of DNF Bloom A+B, but no more calmag or bloom fortifier.

We decided to give the Jack Herer auto a decent flush. Guessing right now we'll run her out another 10 days to 2 weeks so she probably won't really be fed again. She's without question our frostiest to date.



Our Lemon Skunk auto was born this afternoon. Breeder timeline says 70 days seed to harvest, a freebie with my Dark Devil order back in January:





Sticking her tongue out:




D2 (6.2 lbs, down from 6.6 yesterday):




R2 (7.2 lbs down from 7.4 yesterday, 9.0 lbs after watering today):








CR (20.4 lbs, down from 23.0 yesterday):










JH (11 lbs down from 15 yesterday, 24.4 lbs after watering tonight):

Lovely garden with JH. I see your Temps are climbing close to 90. I'm in the same boat. Weather has been warm enough to keep house warmer then I want for my plants. I'll have to ditch the 1k bulb for a 600 soon to keep bare bulb. I'd rather stay BB then cooltube.

Cheers

 

[jamesleemc]

ok just from the pic's i am going to have to order some DD SEEDS......

 

[jamesleemc]

well just tryed but it said when i was filling out the order page that they can ship to my address....so i emailed them.....

 

[golfer420]

Great grow, RTK

 

[ShiggityFlip]

Why go to no nutes for the JH auto? Have you not liked the lite nute flush and feedings?

 

[Stinky Snid]

I don't know how you do it RTK, your updates are fantastic everyday. It's been days since I last check up on your thread. I've still not read the most recent posts. I used to save yours and Sue's thread till last since they get some much traffic. But now I've got like 60 threads to catch up on and I don't think I'll get to yours again by days end. So from one busy brother to another. You're the man, quite an example for us all. What's your secret for such tenacity when it comes to reading a hundred threads a day? Caffeine,or is it a speech to text app or do you use a stenographer? Lol it's gotta be something, unless you're not just a man since you seem to be omnipresent on this site. Lol.
KiG cheers, you and the bizz are killing it something fierce.

They dropped back into the high 70s when we turned off one of the Mars II 900s, but I wanted them back up around 85 so it didn't last long. In the summer we air condition the crap out of this place so I'm not expecting any real trouble with high temps.

ok just from the pic's i am going to have to order some DD SEEDS......

Right?!? It's the strain that sells itself on appearances alone. Just an implausibly beautiful plant. Hope to see you at the community thread once ya get some in and popped.

well just tryed but it said when i was filling out the order page that they can ship to my address....so i emailed them.....

Gorilla seeds, Herbies, and True North Seed Bank are three sponsors that offer it up. Can't imagine they all can't ship to you.

Great grow, RTK

Thanks Golfer and welcome back! Been a while I think no?

Why go to no nutes for the JH auto? Have you not liked the lite nute flush and feedings?

Love it, just decided a little too late to get Jaybiz to mix up 10 liters, so just jumped straight water for the first 4 followed up by the 6 liters of 25% strength he'd mixed up. She'll be getting 25% strength now until harvest.

We've had great luck with everything you've suggested so far, see no reason to deviate now.

brother!

I always make sure I have enough time to do my own journal, but it's often the last thing I do. I try hard to get through as many journals as I can beforehand, to try to keep somewhat up to date. It's getting harder, no question. Sue's, Canna's, Smokeater's.... These are big and busy threads.

I've been falling down as well lately, going to bed with dozens of unread subscriptions when a month or two ago I'd never be able to do that. Now I try to make sure I visit the new users threads first, they deserve our attention and support more than the veterans that are already adored.

With 4/20 in a month, it getting crazy on this board. March madness is now taking another meaning.
