Alien Rock Candy in the 619

[Goodsen Cranium]

Totally cool! And you're right, the nodes and plant structure ARE quite similar. The main thing I was looking at that was similar in our #1's is the leaf shape and vigor. But don't let the way #2 looks fool you, she looked much different in veg, and has actually been in flower nearly 3 weeks just like the two #1 clones. She is budding quite slowly, plus as you can see, she is quite finicky with me. Not sure why she's clawing, but it could be a combo of things which doesn't have to do with high feeding (I don't go past 800ppm ever). Other things that make her a mutant, I never topped her. She grew that way herself. And when vegging, the nodes were so close, and branches so thick, I couldn't find a good clone to take from her. Plus defoliation was a MUST, as all new bud sites were covered by super thick leaves and causing yellowing from lack of light. A very weird plant all around!

I love being able to compare! Thanks much 619!

Buds look very nice and very similar to mine , nice work , nice thread .... o and funny story be careful with her , I was in the casino last night fired up a ARC joint in the room when down stairs ate (bobby flay steak house best steak i ever had) then went to the bar to watch my team embarrass itself once again and then wen't back to room to get out of my suit and the entire hallway smelled of alien rock candy goodness and it was 3 hours later and i smoked in my room ........insanely strong smelling herb for sure.....

Hahaha that's funny Sos!! I feel you though. I have to be careful where I open my jars of ARC. I was inside my car other day with windows rolled up and I was burping my jar (didn't wanna do it in the house), and my neighbor I smoke with came out of his garage asking what I'm smoking. I was like what? Not even smoking! He said it smelled to his garage like I had just lit a fatty lol

You guys making me crazy with those descriptions... lol

i am not even exaggerating a little bit either goods , we got off the elevator and you could smell it on the entire floor 3 hours later , wife was like o my god and i was just laughing like a drunkin idiot .....

619, lovely pics man, thanks for posting them.

Good job man! Looks killer

Thanks fellas!! I forgot to respond to y'all earlier somehow, so just minding my manners lol.

That's still giving me the giggles!


Update:



Ok so now these ladies are showing their true colors! I think they are much smellier this round, and the buds may even be a little bigger as well. I am still dialing this strain in, but seems like I'm doing pretty decent. I love a dank ass strain like this that can be well behaved. Most times it seems my favorite strains are the finicky ones in the garden. 4 weeks 12/12 so far. One will go 8 weeks, and the other will go 9. My last one went 10 weeks, so should give me a good idea of where I'd rather harvest. Great strain Alien!!! And big thanks to OYY as well for making it happen, and for giving all those wonderful descriptions of Sour Dubbs! Now I see why he speaks so highly of it, and am after that clone hehe! My ARC#1 is definitely Tahoe dom, but the taste of that Sour Dubbs comes through in a major way (although I never tried it but I've had Tahoe, and Alien Kush and that candy lemon taste is not from them). Anyway, first I'll post a close up of the mutant #2 bud, and the rest are #1 buds, all 4 weeks in:

Looking good, nice to see some fine specimens of ARC. I got some gear myself and cant wait to pop those sexy beans! :)

Thanks homie! Yea if you have some ARC in the stash, make those a priority to pop for sure!! I wouldn't sit on them for too long man there's some fire in them beans. I'm glad I started them when I did because I'd hate to know that I'm missing out on such a great strain and medicine by putting others in line before it (and I have PLENTY of dank strains to consider). Another I feel the same way about is Eskimo Kush, but I need to pop more beans of that since I never cloned my first run with it. Thanks for stopping through. Peace!

 

[Pancho-N-Lefty]

Yeah thats my problem I wana but I kinda wana save it for later. maybe I should just bust a pack and save a pack for later. lol when nu got new toys you allways wana play with them but part of me wants to hold back for the right time. Did u get any males out of your run. seems like Alien has a high germ and fem rate amongst his beans.

Yes out of 5 beans I popped, I got 3 females and 2 males. One male was chucked immediately. I had plans for the other one, and then he autoflowered, so I chucked him as well. My #1 is a branchy lanky one, and #2 is the mutant. #3 is still in veg, but the mom never got flowered. Her clones will show me what she's got. Those will be flowered soon. #2 I will not be keeping. #3 will have to compete with #1, and it won't be an easy task as #1 is already keeper status. These beans pretty much leaped out their shells after germination! Very vigorous!!!

Any tips on germin those bad girls? I think I have read his gear is super user friendly.

It is a well behaved plant. Takes everything I throw at her (I don't ever get too happy on nutes, but there are times I have my probs). And she clones very well and easily. I germ my beans all the same way. Shot glass of water, beans stay til I see a root trying to poke out, then into Rapid Rooters. Just the way I do it since it's been very consistently successful for me.

Way to rock those Alien Genetics. Shit looks soooo fire :)

 

[Organicyumyum]

hey man, these ARC's look fucking bomb bro. Why do you say you aren't a master grower? The product speaks for itself. The quality of my herbs hasn't really changed much since I first started growing, but I am much more experienced in dealing with problems that may arise because of years of experience. Maybe that's what you mean by not being a master grower? If I judged you based on the quality of what you posted I would say they look as good as they can get. Is this all in soil?

Well I've only been growing for a few years, but I think my idea of master grower is maybe a bit inflated lol. I grow in coco, using Dyna Gro Foliage Pro for nutes, and Cali Magic. That's it! I have done soil, hydro, hempy, but always come back to coco. Although I do want to go fully organic with soil, but have to get me a good feel for soil first, which I have before, but still feel I can do better. I'm much more confident with coco for now. Thanks for the compliments bro! ARC is a VERY nice creation!!!! Props to you for getting with Alien and making it happen!

check out www.simplici-tea.com. you can get their nutrient pack for $40, mix it with earthworm castings, sphagnum moss, and perlite/pumice, let it cook for 2 weeks, and it's ready to go. Then I just water with silica, compressed seaweed, humic acid, mollases, and compost teas. Your plants will be healthier and will burn cleaner than ever.

I would love to make my own soil someday!! That's alot of stuff to buy lol, but I'm sure it's well worth it and can go further than some of these overpriced bottled nutes out there! I'll definitely try it out sometime, but first gotta get my footing with soil before doing it all myself. I have a sample pack of Aurora line nutes I am going to use with Fox Farms soil (would match the nutes with their soil but heard too much bad stuff about Roots Organic, and I've already had good experiences with Fox Farms). Then I have to do more research on teas. I've read plenty about it all, but haven't tried to apply much of it yet.

Got a shot of an ARC nug, and a shot of ARC#1 clone to the left, and ARC#2 from seed to the right. As you can see, ARC#2 is a little behind in bud proction, but the nodes are much closer than #1 nodes. And she's a finicky one. Both same stage in flower and fed the same thing. don't mind the overly flushed plant in background lol:

actually man, their soil with the other items makes over 30 gallons. a pound of seaweed that last forever is 15 bucks, and same with the humic. I spend $150 per run on everything which is way cheaper than the $280 it cost me to buy ocean forest and nutes. and its way easier, much less stuff to worry about. I actually water plain water every other watering so its super easy.
