Maswank5606's RQS Royal Highness and Royal Creamatic Cronk Nutrients

[maswank5606]

Day 34: The plants continue to grow. I topped up the fabric pots with more soil. The Royal Creamatic (1st photo) is growing tall while the Royal Highness and OG Kush are putting on leaves and growing horizontally.

Day 36: Going into week 6 and a start of the Cronk Nutrients Flowering Stage of nutrient amounts. I added my grow tent netting because the Royal Creamatic height was approaching 18". Additionally, I defoliated the OG Kush and Royal Highness of some of their lower fan leaves. I'm still running 18 hours of light via the 3 x Spider Farmer 1000 lights.

How are your temps and rh?
Girls have a bit of droop
Otherwise how often are you feeding/watering?

Hey Bill,
I've been watering every other day. I think I need to increase the amount of water to each plant. The Current temperature in the tent is 75 degrees and the Relative Humidity is 66%.

That's your problem
Your in soil right?
Wait 3/4 days and let the pots dry.
Feel the weight of an empty pot.
Then water to runoff.
Lift the pot again, feel the weight.
Don't water until it feels light again.
Let air into your rootzone by letting them dry out.
Your girls will perk up and start eating better.

Thanks for the insight!

Day 39: Thanks @Bill284. Have not watered yet and the girls are looking much better. I may need to defoliate some of the huge fan leaves on the OG Kush and Royal Highness. Thoughts?

I'm not a fan of defoliation personally.
I grow big thick girls with tons of bud.
Fans provide photosyntesis to provide energy for growth and big buds.
It improves root growth to support them aswell.
I personally would leave them.
Just my 2 cents, others like doing it.

Day 42: Everything is looking much better since cutting back feedings to only when the fabric pots are light weight. The Royal Creamatic has popped through the netting while the Royal Highness and OG Kush continue to be bushy putting on large fan leaves.

 

[maswank5606]

Day 48: Royal Creamatic is putting on some good buds, but leaf activity is at a very minimum. The Royal Highness and OG Kush are both very leafy and bush just like last week. I feed with week 8 Cronk Nutrients 3-Part Intermediate schedule nuts 1 gallon of water to each plant. PH was 6.2.

 

[maswank5606]

Day 50: Girls looking great. Switched light scheduling to 12 hours on 12 hours off.

Day 72: Week 10 Cronk Nutrients. I am now following the Expert 3-Part Nutrient Guide which includes Grow, Micro, Bloom, CalMag, Bud Booster, Monkey Juice and Sticky Bandit. The OG Kush and Royal Highness continue to gain height with buds beginning to form while the Royal Creamatic appears to have reach max height and is just putting on bud mass.

Ladies look perfect.
Excellent work my friend.
Did you ever think about LST.
Those peak colas would pull nicely into that net.
Then you could lower the light.
Just 2 cents.
Great garden.

Hey Bill,

I've never tried low stress training yet. I will make a note to learn more about it and try it on my next grow. Just curious, do you think it is too late to LST the OG Kush and Royal Highness on this grow?

 

[Waywardwayne]

Incredible looking royal creamatic! All the plants look great but those buds on the creamatic are beautiful to see.

I personally don’t think some last would hurt. But others may have better recommendations to your question for sure. I put my creamatic under a net for a few days to get the branches where I wanted them took the net away a few days later after the plant knew what to do. She isn’t flowering yet and yours are. Anyhow what a beauty you have.

It would be no trouble to gently bend the main stem over horizontally.
It breaks the Atypical peak and gives you a more even canopy.
It’s a simple training method to increase productivity.
Never too late to try it.
Just be gentle and don’t snap anything off.

Day 79: Week 11 Cronk Nutrients. I decided to not try LST on this grow because the size of the main cola was just so big on the OG Kush that I feared snapping it. I'll try LST on my next grow. For now the plants are all looking very good and continue to increase bud growth. Temps in the grow tent maintain around 75 during the day and drop to about 67 at night when the lights are off. I'm still on a 12hr light schedule and will keep this throughout the remainder of this grow. I've been watering on Thursday with straight PH'd water at about 1/2 gallon of water per plant and then on Sunday I do a full gallon of Cronk Nutrients 3-Part Base Expert nutrients per plant. I could stick my head in the tent and just inhale the scent for hours on end

Hey maswank, the plant is looking good. I am growing a Royal Creamatic as well. I was in the same boat as you but mine isn’t in flower yet and I decided to just bend it as much as she would take. She bounced back over night. Better to start young but if you do try it you will just have to be gentle.

There is where I didn’t last night and it’s already perked back up.
