Well that's just odd, I have a giant stash hugged right here for you! Dig in! :bong:

Harvests starting in the next week or two, so ya made it in time for the fun stuff. I'm lousy with Early Miss right now still from Britney, and now I have another just around the corner. Really looking forward to the Jack Herer just to fill out the selection a bit.

Great job on the videos bud, We smoke a joint and enjoy each and every one. :high-five:
 
March 3 Update. JH, CR, and NEM are 64 days old. DD is 53 days old. CR is 15 days since her flip to 12/12.

CR is on 12/12 14 inches below the Spider x4, Temp is 77 and RH is 40% at the canopy, 77 and 42% at the top. Overnight was 67 and 44%

Temp for JH, NEM, DD and R2 peaked at 83 today with RH at 45% during lights on, and 67 and 47% overnight. They are on an 18/6 schedule and are 13-15 inches below a pair of Mars II 900s.


  • DD was soaked with half strength DNF Bloom A+B and calmag+ at 641ppm and 5.7 PH
  • JH was soaked with full stregnth DNF Bloom A+B and half strength calmag+ at 923ppm and 5.7 PH.


Temperatures are down a bit and I'm not sure why, so will be watching that closely. Still no sign of the second Revolver, but our first took 8 days to germinate to an above ground sprout, so she's not behind yet.



CR (18.6 lbs, down from 21.6 yesterday) she got tucked and trimmed a bit more, that'll continue for another week or so I'll guess:














NEM (16.4 lbs, down from 23.8 after watering yesterday) still increasing her water usage, which surprises me:







A few without the flash:










DD (11.2 lbs down from 14.4 yesterday, 22.8 lbs after watering tonight):











JH (12.2 lbs down from 18.0 yesterday, 24.6 lbs after watering tonight) I spent a good half hour spreading her out more, then realized I'd caged her in so much we couldn't get a jug into her to water. Opps :) :

I counted about 32 tops, we might cut that back a bit but overall I'm quite looking forward to watching her fill out.

Every day, the odds of me doing something stupid increase. It's been too long and my luck can't hold much longer. :)

I'll never hide 'em from this journal, not in my nature so you'll see 'em when they happen. I'll throw pride aside for a good laugh every time.

Bill! Good to see ya man. Thanks so much for the compliment and kudos. I'd like to say it's nice for my "hard work" be be rewarded, but nothing I do here feels at all like work.

:420: has the whole lot of us seriously set up here, I'm just so glad I found this community when I did.
 
March 4 Update. JH, CR, and NEM are 65 days old. DD is 54 days old. CR is 16 days since her flip to 12/12.

CR is on 12/12 14 inches below the Spider x4, Temp is 73 and RH is 45% at the canopy, 72 and 47% at the top. Overnight was 68 and 47%

Temp for JH, NEM, DD and R2 peaked at 84 today with RH at 40% during lights on, and 68 and 46% overnight. They are on an 18/6 schedule and are 13-15 inches below a pair of Mars II 900s. R2 is off to the side and is about 30 inches from the lights.

  • CR was soaked with 7 liters of full strength DNF Bloom A+B and calmag+ at 984ppm and 5.7 PH
  • NEM was soaked with 6 liters of half strength DNF Bloom A+B and calmag+ at 660ppm and 5.7 PH


I'm happy to announce the arrival of our newest baby girl, our CKS Revolver autoflower broke ground this evening (her morning) and will get to spend 18 hours in the sun.

R2. Sorry for the crappy shots, too lazy to run back down for a sprout shot:






In other news, we were both astonished with how flat and level Jaybiz's Crown Royale's canopy is. He has done an awesome job (IMHO) of getting her to this point and the results should be pretty impressive, particularly for a first SCRoG.

CR (16.4 lbs down from 18.6 yesterday, 31.4 lbs after watering tonight):

DD (19.6 lbs, down from 22.8 after watering yesterday):
















NEM (11.6 down from 16.4 yesterday, 23.8 lbs after watering tonight):

Awesome work ! :-)
I like the veggies too, are they in the same tent ? (yes, i want to grow strawberries next to my plants... may be test vertical grow in pvc pipes).
 
Love the last JH pix. That's the shape I try to get with pheno, awesome job to get that shape on an auto. Great job rtk. Eh, while DD is the prettiest, JH is the sexy one, I'm torn between those two.

Cheers
 
If I were Crop King Seeds I would just send you new seeds every two months. Best business decision they could ever make. I ended up getting the fem Green Crack for my MOTM.
The text looks so good above your avatar rtk! Do you make Jbiz put those letters before your name when he addresses you?

They are in the back of Jaybiz's tent right now, but I'm guessing they're going to end up spread around. We've got to research the tomatoes though, read something about it being bad to grow them together. Not sure exactly why or what "together" actually means. They may not make the weekend if there's a problem with them. :)

I've had the same thought about any climbing plant really, see if we can try to run 'em up a wall or two.

Welcome to it. For want of a 20 dollar bathroom scale it's great to know exactly what "heavy" and "light" actually mean.

Superb lookin garden bud! JBiz got that scrog lookin mega sexy! Well done. And a big congrats on MOTM too brother! :high-five: :goodjob:

I'm wildly impressed with how his Crown Royale is turning out. Another 8 weeks or so and I'm thinking she'll produce beyond our expectations (which honestly we haven't really set). :yahoo:

Dark Devil's days are numbered, she's slowing down on water usage now. Jack's gonna be fun to watch for at least another three weeks I'll guess.

I'm really liking the rectangle rather than square/round training. Makes it so much easier to place them in the tent.

Can't wait to watch ya run some Green Crack bud, we've looked at it of course but haven't pulled the trigger. Still working on breaking our love of autos. Soooo quick ya know... :)

Jaybiz does most of the cooking around here, and it's never wise to piss off the person who handles one's food, but I'm far more proud of those 6 little words than I expected before I got 'em.

March 5 Update. JH, CR, and NEM are 66 days old. DD is 55 days old. CR is 17 days since her flip to 12/12.

CR is on 12/12 now 11-12 inches below the Spider x4, Temp is 77 and RH is 46% at the canopy, 76 and 48% at the top. Overnight was 68 and 42%

Temp for JH, NEM, DD and R2 peaked at 85 today with RH at 46% during lights on, and 68 and 49% overnight. They are on an 18/6 schedule and are 13-15 inches below a pair of Mars II 900s. R2 is off to the side and is about 30 inches from the lights.

  • JH was soaked with full strength DNF Bloom A+B and GO Camg+, and half strength DNF Bloom Fortifier at 1060ppm and 5.7 PH
  • R2 got 250ml of bubbled tap water at 5.7 PH right down beside her stem.


We hit the local hydro shop today as we needed some more pots and medium for Jaybiz's veggies, etc., and we needed some more nutes and trays. We grabbed some TDS Test solution finally as well, we've been just working off the assumption that it's right, and we're really just using it as a sanity test anyway. I make an assumption about what number I'm going to get from the percentages I give to Jaybiz to mix nutes, and we're usually pretty damned close.

We found some General Organics CaMg+ with 0-0-0, and picked up a small container of DNF Bloom Fortifier as well. The Jack Herer autoflower got her first taste at half strength today, no idea if we'll even be able to tell if it worked or not since we have no baseline. Maybe I'll have to grow one more Early Miss soon to compare against. :)

Dark Devil used less water today than she's used in almost three weeks, if that continues to tomorrow we'll be flushing her for two waterings and finishing her off once she's dry from that.



Our new additional nutes:











Still want to look into more advanced nutes from other manufacturers, and Hibrix, and DWC, and and and.



NEM (19.6 lbs, down from 23.8 yesterday):












JH (13.0 lbs down from 17.8 yesterday, 24.6 lbs after watering):












DD (17.0 lbs, down from 19.6 yesterday):








R2 (6.6 lbs, up from 6.4 empty, 6.8 after watering today):




CR (28.6 lbs, down from 31.4 after watering yesterday):
