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

[arteekay]

Great update however, could you put your flowering times in when you show their pix's? The children it's not an issue but it's faster then scrolling up to check times. Thanks, ladies are coming along nicely. That CR's leaved still look great deep into flowering. I seems to start getting spots at 65 days. It let's me know when to start flushing.

Ya know, I was thinking of that myself, I used to put them there before I moved 'em all to the top. I'll add 'em back. Thanks for speaking up!

I haven't seen the Crown Royale in two days now. Harvest tomorrow after work I think.

Dang bro. Those plants are gorgeous! The family pic is so cool looking with all the colors

Hopefully the Red Poison gets nice and colorful as well, that Dark Devil doesn't have too many weeks left to add the contrast.

I grew up in Fort MacMurray, it's odd to see it all on fire.

So sorry to hear about this. Wow! Is this common in that area this time of the year?

 

[SweetSue]

Your tent always looks so beautifully organized. Mine always looks more organic.

Agreed. I've worked/lived up there for a bit. Crazy ass fire it is. Lots of people headed here. Should've seen the roads last night. Sad sad sad

I hope if you have any friends/family still there, that they are safe.

There was often a threat, but in the two decades I spent there we were never evacuated. Trapped by the highway a couple times, but hundreds of miles south.

Some of the video from yesterday and today are indistinguishable from a war zone, and it's been so many years I couldn't get my bearings. Then all of a sudden my high school was on, and man was it cool to see again, even with the smokey orange sky above it.

Your tent always looks so beautifully organized. Mine always looks more organic.

Directed OCD. Why not, right?

Agreed. I've worked/lived up there for a bit. Crazy ass fire it is. Lots of people headed here. Should've seen the roads last night. Sad sad sad

I was so engrossed with it I didn't even post my daily update yesterday. First time I've missed it since Christmas.

I hope if you have any friends/family still there, that they are safe.

My daughter's mother's side of the family is all there, or were. Thankfully all are safe the last she heard.

Her life story:

Two Weeks:

The Crown Royale photoperiod girl was transplanted to her new two gallon home after we checked her roots in the solo cup. Looked pretty full but like an idiot I forgot to take a picture.

Crown Royale's Harvest


Today's pictures

​

Lost her SCRoG

​

Most of her fan leaves gone, and nug porn

​

Security found a few fallen soldiers

​

What's left

​

Hanging to dry

​

Leftover popcorn

​

Overall, it's less than we'd thought. I'd bet 6 zips now at best. We'll see likely around the weekend.

 

[SweetSue]

Well done guys. She was a beauty and watching her grow all over again in the retrospective was fascinating. Excellent production gentlemen.

 

[millertm]

Very nice grow on CR. Looks great, enjoy.

Cheers

Congrats on your harvest. I saw the Big Red rolling stool you guys have. I'm from Texas, home of Big Red, a soda pop for those not familiar. I'm in the Pac NW now so I haven't seen any Big Red in years. Thanks for the nostalgia guys

 

[golfer420]

Second grow?

This is top quality growing you've got going on.

 

[Kyu Maengun]

RTK that CR could easily be POTM in my opinion especially the photo of it removed from the SCROG.

Thanks Sue, always a pleasure to have your positivity around my garden.

She's taught us a ton, and we're pretty sure we'll get a decent yield off her as well. We've got another Mars II 900 arriving tomorrow (to add to the photo tent, and cover the current broken one, that I've heard nothing further on yet) so the next one will get more light and as you'll see in tonight's pics, a much better scrog.

We almost transplanted our new photoperiod, the Purple Kush, but she needs another day to dry up a bit more.

Very nice grow on CR. Looks great, enjoy.

Thanks man, she's been around so long now it's weird not to see her every day. Ah well, we'll still enjoy her in the coming weeks.

Ha! Glad to have brought ya down memory lane. Is it the same logo? I just bought it 4 or 5 months ago new from a Canadian retailer, never really even noticed the brand.

Second grow?

This is top quality growing you've got going on.

She's the 10th pot plant either of us has ever grown. We've come a long way, but we've got a lot still to learn. Absolutely the most rewarding hobby I've ever had.

RTK that CR could easily be POTM in my opinion especially the photo of it removed from the SCROG.

Well, it's Jaybiz's girl, so I'll see how he feels about it first, but I'm sure he'll be thrilled to hear of your opinion. Thanks man!

All I can say is....

Can't disagree with you at all!

May 5 (Thursday) Update.

Autos: Revolver 2 is 63 days old, Dark devil 2 is 52, Lemon Skunk is 48, Candy Cane 3 is 23, and Red Poison is 9. Temp was 82 today with RH at 44% during lights on. They are on an 18/6 schedule and are 22-24 inches from their lights. Overnight temps was 68 and 50% RH.

Photos: Purple Kush is 30. CR is harvested and is drying at the top of the tent. Temp is 71 and RH is 46% at the canopy, 72 and 45% at the top, 69 and 53% overnight. PK is working on her four new tops in the veg tent for one more night.

• D2 was soaked with full strength bloom nutes (6 liters with 30 ml each of DNF Bloom A+B, 8 ml of GO CaMg+, and 1.5 g of DNF Bloom Fortifier) at unknown ppm and 5.8 PH
• R2 was soaked with 6 liters of the same mix as above.

---

We added the humidifier back into the flowering tent, where our Crown Royale is starting her second day of drying. Hoping we can get it up to around 55-60% for the next couple of days.

Our Third Candy Cane is deep into training now. She'll need to be adjusted daily (or more) for the next week or two. She's gonna be a big one I think, if we can get growth like Candi now with topping and training, I've some hope we'll beat our yield record with her.



RP at 9 days (8.4 lbs, down from 8.8 yesterday):

​

C3 at 23 days (17.6 lbs, down from 20.2 after watering yesterday):

​

PK at 30 days (5.2 lbs, down from 6.4 yesterday):

​

Jaybiz's v2.0 scrog for her, no longer just strapped to the side of the pot, and using much better string.

​

Yes, he made it so it comes apart enough to get a plant in and out.


LS at 48 days (15.2 lbs, down from 19.4 yesterday):

​

D2 at 52 days (11.4 lbs down from 15 yesterday, 24.2 lbs after watering tonight:

​

R2 at 63 days (9.6 lbs down from 12.2 yesterday, 21.2 after watering tonight):

​
