New plants are exciting, I'm mulling over what I want try now. Girls look good, CR is going to really put out. Photos are fun to grow with unlimited veg time.
Yeah, we spend hours debating and deciding. We tried twice for a white widow, so I'm somewhat interested in proving out the rest of that 5 pack and contacting CKS if necessary. But in the end, for this next photo we couldn't pass on the Purple Kush.
The Crown Royale is looking great. Still healthy and happy and building something like 40 or 50 tops.
Damn bro, I'm impressed. I totally hate autos because it seems like they always start budding way before you want them to. It blows my mind to see your plants looking so full. I guess it must be something about where you get the autos from?? I've gotten autos from a couple of different seed vendors and had the same results both times... topped them once and a couple of weeks later they were already starting to bud. The last time I tried growing an auto Critical Haze, I tried to stop it from budding by increasing the light to 22 hours a day, and it didn't help at all. That stupid little plant was only 5 inches tall with 2 tiny colas. I got about an 1/8th oz of bud... and the bud sucked. Both times I've tried growing autos, I was extremely disappointed. So, again, it blows me away to see all those huge colas on an auto!! Awesome!
I'm hooked on the speed of 'em, and that we can pump more than 12 hours of light into them during flowering. Still at 18/6, but I really should bump that up to 20/4.
Most of our autos have been from CKS, but the first Dark Devil we did turned out alright, and I'm pretty happy with how this Lemon Skunk is going so far. All have gotten us right cooked.
22 hours wouldn't stop them from flowering, but it should push the veg cycle more than say 12 or 18.
Perpetual awesomeness and a new purple Kush! Keep it awesome my friends.
big bro!
I totally agree Paul, autos at a craps shoot.. I've had some take over 8 weeks to start to flower and then some flower by the 4th node. Very disappointing to say the least, but if you find a good strain they can be very rewarding. As you can see with RTK and Bizz's amazing plants. It's all in the genetics...
As usual fellas, the plants look fantastic. Till next time..
KiG brothers
Cheers
Can't complain with CKS (mostly, there was that one Sweet Seeds girl in there too) so far. I'll take 4-6 zips per plant in 72-90 days without a complaint.
So far...
To me autos are like getting a mail order bride from a specific country. You have some idea of what she's going to look like, but what's she gonna look like? Is she stacked up top or otherwise? Long legs or short? Does she eat a lot or starve herself? Who knows? Maybe she is the best you have ever seen! Then she dies and you never see her again. You order again but each time you order another you never know what's gonna arrive at the airport.
Photos are like dating a girl after a blind date. The first time you have to rely on someone's description, but then you start getting to know her for who she is. Every time you take her out again you get to know more. Before you know it you are in a committed relationship. If things go well it may go on for decades. You may have found your holy grail.
Good luck trying to convince two committed bachelors to enter into a committed relationship. Sure that blind date girl might be great, but is she "perfect"? Is perfection important? If not, isn't that settling?
To paraphrase the old adage: Behind every incredible weed is a stoner that's sick of smoking her.
Nothing perfect can last, enjoy it while it's here and keep the memories as best you can. Sure you'll run into some that are far from perfect, but that's part of the fun as well.
So I guess photos are for married men, us single guys go for the thrill of the auto.
Great description +rep for that though you left one part out..
After your blind date you take her out a few more times and start to think this is the one for me, then she hikes up her skirt and shows you her balls. This is where it gets really interesting
Do you "A" say no way I am not that kind of grower and rush him off to the compost pile. Or do you "B" say, well it is the new millennium, what the heck I will keep him in the closet all by himself, then when the time is right "Come out of the closet" and create your own seeds, thus increasing your wisdom in the field.
Weather your an "A" or a "B" type grower it is all good, after-all it is the new millennium
I could stick him in the closet, but he'd be in the dark. I've no room for a mother right now, fathers would meet a very swift death.
We're back to the future style growers right now, firmly in the 50's for now.
Great update as normal RTK,
Out of all the journals I look in on, I must say you have the most organized and thorough updates I have seen. I only wish I was 1/2 as organized as you
Thanks OG, assuming that was a compliment and not just an observation.
It's as much for me as anyone else, including Jaybiz.
Bahahahahaha! I just started shaking with laughter and have a stupidly high grin on my face. Made my morning OG. I don't judge others but for me it's straight to the bin...well let me admit something. If I push the twister I have had her throw a few nanners. But not always. What does that make me? I guess if the buzz is good enough then I will sometimes make exceptions? Hee hee. Hoping that the high Brix does the same thing for my twister as it did for x4. X4 nannered (and was chopped down) in the chem grow and remains fine in the high Brix grow.
I'm disappointed that we didn't find the few nanners our Jack likely threw. Gotta pay closer attention I think.
In fairness, OG was talking straight up male I think, not a hermie. What you have in your closet is your own business and nobody here will judge you.
Don't feel bad bro, I found a couple nanners on one of my white cookies today
hope I found them and plucked them in time!!!
You found them, that's why I feel bad. I totally missed 'em!!
I will admit to being a B type grower...not that there's anything wrong with that.
But if you ever see me with my hair in a man bun, smack me.
I'm years from being a type B I think. There's enough males around this place as it is.
Missed all of the underground work but on the bright side they tell me that this job should last through August. Small job and best of all, no drug testing .. The world is back in harmony in Oregon
