Tried to stop by last night and steal your plants when you were sleeping but your dog bit me right in the ass.

Looking fantastic gentlemen. You have done so well! Just take a look back and read through the journal from cold floor to broken spider cob! You have overcome obstacles and ended up with fantastic buds! Pat yourselves on the back. Can't wait to see you run a kit!

Oh yea.. He loves his ass munching! And he does protect the house will.. If he bites you, you likely deserved it although the pizza delivery driver didn't see it coming for no reason other than bringing us pizza.. Still working on that lol
Thanks shiggs! Appreciate the kind words.

Yes foxtail means close

Yeah, we're tired of waiting on her, she's not getting anything more and will get the chop on Sunday.

He is an ass man. Sorry about that. You'd have better luck in the morning, but I'm not sure you have the space of 'em bud.

Yup, and this month's MOTM was there for us every step of the way. Timing worked out wonderfully!

I damned near broke an arm off patting myself on the back today, my kiddo was over for supper and was just about up to date on my journals, spent a good couple hours talking all about it.

She's of the same opinion as us... How the hell did we end up with so much frakkin' weed in this house??!?

Jesus man! Warn a guy before you put up such a frightening pic. Damned near dropped my joint and ran!

(S)he's awesome JM.

Anybody that suffers three days of reading my journal and liking just about, if not every update, deserves to spark the next one for sure. I really can't believe you made it all the way through.

Absolutely the citizens of 420 mag deserve a lot of the credit.

Bahah, hadn't thought of 'em that way, but you're right.

She's a monster, no idea how that happened. I forgot to post the pic of our two Early Miss girls, the other from our second grow. Both were together on the table last night and it just kind of hit us. They are sisters, separately mostly by nothing much more than 47 days.

Haha !! I enjoyed coming back after work to keep reading ... I prolly wouldnt read all Grow journals like this but you got a good style of writing and making it nice to read atleast for me ... So least i can do is give likes to you !!

If your Second Journal is somewhere near this one , then you can get ready for another like wave haha !!

We have a Sweet Seeds Dark Devil in our second grow, but otherwise it's been all Crop King Seeds. We've had some trouble germinating a pack of White Widows, but we're still over 80% germination rate, and the taste, smoke, and high off all have been fantastic.

I've definitely enjoyed seeing the wave of likes when I come back on the site, been a real highlight for the last couple of days.

I did the same thing before I got so caught up in the work involved with this grow. Spent days reading 40+ page journals, but I'll admit I wasn't as thoughtful at the time to think to leave all the likes that where appropriate.

I'm hopeful the second grow will be even more successful, with less mistakes and #stonermoments, so it might not be as fun to read as this one might have been in the beginning. Drama free grows are far less exciting I'm sure.

again. You made it just in time to see the three biggest/best get the chop.

Our tallest Northern Lights tribute and harvest post are up next, two days late now dammit.

Re: Arteekay's 1st Grow - Sunshine #4 - Spider x 4 - Crop King Autoflowering Mix Stra

Our fourth girl to get to harvest is our tallest Northern Lights. She was a middle child, never too great or too bad to give much thought to. The poor thing never even got a proper name.

From the samples we've taken from her, she's up near the top on how sticky and frosty she is, and she's given me some incredibly buzzes over the last week.


First up, her life tribute:


One Week old:




Two Weeks:




Three Weeks:




Four Weeks:




Five Weeks:




Six Weeks:




Seven Weeks:




Eight Weeks:




Nine Weeks:




Ten Weeks:




Three days later, before the start of her partial harvest:




Her top cola removed and hung to dry, and what was left:






Last night in the pot:






Stripped of her big fan leaves:










Cut into two parts:










Root ball, dammit I forgot to weigh the pot without the plant on top:










Hung in the tent along with Rev in the back:














Didn't bother with wet weights, as I don't have a good way to get it yet. Need a scale I can hang stuff from I guess...

Dry weights likely next weekend.

Beautiful harvest, rtk -- congratulations! Gorgeous colas

Four plants down, three and a half of them in cure. One coming down tomorrow, and the last two or three weeks away still. Loving every minute of it!

Solid chop my brother hope to be matching you this week

Can't wait to see some pics B, I'll be off to your journal reacquainting and catching up after I get my posts for the night over with.

Re: Arteekay's 1st Grow - Sunshine #4 - Spider x 4 - Crop King Autoflowering Mix Stra

With only two plants remaining, the amount of work has been much easier to deal with.

• Britney got full strength DNF Bloom A+B and half strength calmag+ at 891ppm and 5.7 PH.

Candi is coming down tomorrow, so we'll clean up both tents and split the second grow up between tents. The three autos from that grow will come over into Candi's place, and Jaybiz's Crown Royale photoperiod will get the Spider to itself through to harvest.



Family pics:






Candi (86 days, 10.8 lbs) drying up for harvest tomorrow:

Re: Arteekay's 1st Grow - Sunshine #4 - Spider x 4 - Crop King Autoflowering Mix Stra

We needed to clear some space in our veg tent to hang Candi tomorrow, so mid-afternoon we took enough of Rev down to fill a jar with a hygrometer. After two or three hours it was at 67%, and we're shooting for jarring around 65-70. We'll burp for an hour or so a day until we get down around 60, then put a boveda 62 in each and burp them for a few minutes once a day for a couple weeks, then just a few times a week after.

We figure that'll let them dry very slowly down to 60%, and never fall out of the curing range (which we've read ends at 55% and won't be restarted, unresearched).

Anyway, since we were happy with how the first jar went, we jarred up the rest of Rev. I wasn't particularly happy about how her nugs came out, all right up to her original top were far more airy than anyone else we've harvested yet. Sticky and stinky to the point of watering an eye or two, but airy. Ah well, hardly that important in the the scheme of our plans for them (personal use only).

Meant to take pictures of her still on her stems, then in the bowl, then in the jar. Sadly I forgot all but the final shot:



Including the popcorn but just about no stem at all, we hit 88.3g or 3.1oz. Not disappointed with that, for our first grow and all.


We can also update our running harvest totals from here:


Trudy (CKS Candy Cane) final dry weight 45 grams.

Droopy (CKS Northern Lights) final dry weight 23 grams.

Rev (CKS Revolver) final dry weight 88 grams.



156 grams or 5.5oz, we're on track to easily hit or even exceed our original oz or two from the six plants.
