Bgsixx's 2x4 Grow Lab, Different Strains, Lots Of Pics

[bgsixxx]

Buds look nice man. Real nice! As far as the two....idk. Normally mine are as far apart as they can be, they're autos too...and I've read they can be a little more finicky with stress. Sucks when beans are 10 bucks a pop, but, they do have plenty of soil. Worse case, ya gotta cull one. This was my first grow when I moved. I had to get some going! They were supposed to be regs, but they were all females. Lol I was testing for a dude, and he had some fem seed issues to say the least. Anyway, there's about 5 gallons of soil, probably less in each pot. This was a successful harvest. Flip 2 days after pop. Maybe got a couple zips, but it was enough to hold me over . I had a couple plants to flip right away and I've been harvesting every 6-8 weeks since. Lol I have to chop the northern angel this weekend.These are just those "storage" things from the dollar store. They work great for fabric pots. Still running these same pots, with the same soil too. Just keep topdressing. Lol other pic is the northern angel from a week ago. She's filled out more now. Pics are not in order. Lol

Those are some tasty looking buds chron. And with 7-8 in a pot i dont feel to bad. And like you say ill cull one if i have too. Im still tripping on this yellow auto seedling growing with other green seedling. The yellow one is out growing the green one. Is there such thing as an albino plant, bc this mfer wont green up for shit, hit it with kelp and recharge, next ill give it a blast of fish emulsion or superthrive. Either way im keeping the two going, may the strongest survive.

So plan on switching timer tonight to 12/12. Ready to see what these babes do.
Also stopped by bro's house today, and checked out his grow. He's killing it. Dam wish my first grow was this good snapped a few pics. He dam sure picked up on the defoliation lesson. Had to tell him to hold off until about day 42. They're on day 28 i think maybe 24. But they look good, 4 sour diesel and 1 gsc, both from cali connection breeder.

Day 1 flowering babes are cruising along. Lil lady is still small. She just looks outta place. But she'll stay where she is for now. Gave them some plain phd water. And did some defoliation and supercropping too. Also had to take 2 more clones the og and 1 gsc didn't make it. So took 2 more. They look better. If these clones dont make it I've got some seeds i wanna try, so win win.
The 4 autos are still alive. The biggest, the bpp is on day 20 and shes growing fast as hell. The others im not sure. The 2 together are actually growing pretty good, surprising me. I still dont know why the one is still light green, shes outgrowing the other one though so I'll just keep doing what I'm doing. And the fourth one is green and growing good, shes like 3 days old.

 

[Chrondocious]

Hell yeah buddy, looking green!

Day 4 flowering pics

Filled buckets in flowering tent. Gave small autos a sip. Big auto has been lstd. Gave flowering plants a good drenching of recharge and terp tea bloom a couple days ago.

Widow looks right at home. She got some tops. Just a short lil thang. Lol

So decided to try and make some tincture with the hash and about 3ozs of trim. I used everclear for the hash, i had 10 grams of hash, grated it into a powder, and decarbed it at 230 for 30 min. Then put it in 12ozs of everclear, and shook the shit out of it off and on for about 3 hours, then let it sit another 3 hours before straining it. Now i have it sitting open in dark spot so some of the alcohol can evaporate off. Tried a teaspoon of it and its strong as fuck. Didnt need to smoke nothing for the rest of the night. I was zooted.
For the 3ozs of trim, i used about 2 and a half cups of mct oil. Decarbed trim then put it in mason jars and stuck it in the crockpot in some water. Left it for 4 hrs, shaking it up every half hour or so. Strained it twice through some cheeseccloth and it is ready. Gonna try some in the morning under my tongue. We'll see. The alcohol tincture is to strong for under the tongue, thats why im trying to evaporate some alcohol off. Heres pics of finished products.
Lil jar tincture, big jar mct oil.

So for the tinctures, which is alcohol only, they can sit for months with the material. You can also use 80 proof or a mix of both 80 and ever clear. It will mellow it out some. You can also add flavour...I think essential oils but not sure on that. You're almost making ISO hash, or basically shatter. If it works as a tincture though, I'd jar it and use it as you want. As far as the other stuff goes I'm not too sure. Man ....I was decarbing a good quarter the other day. My toaster oven was set on air fry, so the fan was blowing, so I quick turned it off to set to bake only. Normally I do it at like 250 for like 40 min. Or some shit. Well walked away, and smelled some burning shit a few mins later. Went back in, to find out when I reset the oven, the temp was at 475. Burnt up that whole damn quarter! Bro, I was bummed, but not as pissed as if I had bought it! Lol it's fun and nice to be able to fuck around with enough herb to spare. I've been wanting to make a tincture. Just did a bunch of reading on them. I was gonna try and start my own business....but there's mad regulations on tinctures. Not even weed. Just any. Stupid laws.

they call mct or coconut oil a tincture now too, even though technically it isnt made with alcohol, i guess because you can use it sublinguilly. all i know is that shit is green and smelly. gonna try it in something. the alcohol came out brownish. yeah it was a quick wash. but it was all hash, well keif rolled up into a ball. that shit works. my dum ass tried some under my tongue, dont do it, that shit burns. gonna try some honey and maybe cinamon.
dam a whole quarter, im gonna try some bud next time. i know that shit stunk up the whole area.

You are right about stupid laws. how the fuck can u enforce laws on a plant!!! its always been a racket to make money.

Post from yesterday :
Flowering tent day 8
Biggest auto is on day 28, others are no more than 3 weeks behind, maybe 2. Clones are on day 10. Should start seeing some growth in next week.
Everything is moving along pretty good. Satisfied with all plants. Been pulling leaves off all plants, just a few off each. Also pulled a couple off of auto.
Filled up buckets and bag in flowering tent. Will hit them with some kelp next fill up. And just sprayed clones down in auto tent.
Pics.

Stopped by bro's house today. His shit is banging. His girls are on day 37, and they are swelling nicely. He has 4 sour diesel and 1 gsc, i told him to be patient, bc the sour diesel can take alot longer than gsc, so top dress accordingly. Hes been feeding them good, and giving them recharge every week. The plants are healthy and not a yellow leaf in sight. His shit healthier than mine, lol. Heres a few pics

 

[Chrondocious]

Very nice!

 

[bgsixxx]

Ever try those palm leaf things? They have those little crush tips on them. Otherwise, good old joints. I'm a blunt dude my self though. Used to smoke a lot more, just don't have the time with the kids around all the time. They're getting in their teens, so they're all nosey and shit. Lol My wife and I have a car pipe always, and we use the shit out of the bong. I just hate cleaning pieces all the time.

found some hemp blunt wraps with corn cob filters on amazon.

you get 15 packs with 5 wraps and 5 filters in each pack. thats 75 wraps and filters for 18 bucks. way cheaper than buying game silvers all the time. 6 cigars for $4.18/$1.29 a pack...and no guts to worry about.

Ok so i need to make a decision. The 2 autos that are in the same pot, are starting to spit pistils already, dammit!!! Im really thinking about scrapping these lil midget hoes!!! I cant put up with anymore 14gram plants. But then if i scrap them what am I gonna put in their place. This is the smallest ive ever had a plant flower. Even the auto i got 14grams off of made it above the top of the pot. These mfers got like 3 or four nodes, wtf. People always say its a crap shoot with autos and im starting to be a believer. I thought 420 fastbuds might be different bc that's all they breed, but maybe its true, autos are smaller and inferior to photos. Im gonna grow the rest of these auto seeds i have then ill leave them alone for a minute.
Im pissed a lil, but in the end ill let em grow. At least I'll get some bud from the effort. I've learned a valuable lesson, dont fuck with autos, right now anyways!!!

 

[Chrondocious]

Idk, I've never fucked with autos. I see some good ones, but I see some small ass ones too. And overall just not that good looking. Fems....sure. all day long. It's tricky to keep a player smoking if you like to smoke. I was running 5 mother's in veg, and 3 different flower tents perpetually to keep my wife and I smoking. Now I'm just running slightly over 2x3 for veg, and probably 3x4 or so for flower. I don't smoke as many blunts as I'd like ATM, but I always have plenty of herb. Just started curing one plant, probably got maybe 2 oz, plus still probably got 2 from before, and about to chop 3 plants in another week. But I just put in 3, that have been in for like 2 days already. Maybe a male or so in there, but I have 3 that have about 2 weeks of veg on them I could toss in. I have about 500 seeds to fuck with though. Lol. Just popped 2 more the other day too. I'd keep a female in your veg, and just take clones off her. Take like 10 at a time. In the mean time, fuck with the beans for variety, and if you get a few duds, you always have a decent sized plant from your clone supply. Some of these dudes only chop like 3 times a year. Lol ...I could never....I'd rather chop about once a month. 6 weeks tops. Between the Mrs. And I, we go through about a quarter each a week. Give or take. Idk, I don't ever weigh my stuff. Too much work. Lol. Pop like 10 beans in solos if you got em. By the time half of them are finished, the other half will be huge bitches and will yield some weight. Lol. If you switch to air pots, you can run smaller pots too. Get like 6 3 gallon pots in that 2x4. Smaller plants yield less, but have a quicker turnaround. less veg. Time. After looking, there is a lot of room in the veg.

Yeah i think I'll just stick with photos for now. Ive grown like 6 auto seeds, and was only happy with one plant, and that was the 14 gram plant that was fire. Probably strongest bud ive grown so far. But 14 grams aint shit.
Yeah i was thinking about keeping the one gsc clone that looks like shes gonna make it. And your right i do have alot of room in veg, i might try smaller pots next time, and try to fit five or six in there. Might just go 12/12 from seed. Ive done it before and the plants still got pretty nice size. Only thing is ill have to hand water. And i dont like that. Just loving these buckets right now. Might look into those airpots, ive heard good things about them. Yeah i havent really been smoking that much since ive got that tincture. That shit hits pretty hard. And last forever. I still have about 9 to 10 ozs of bud left. Havent gave any away either. Thanks for the tips bro.

Day 15 flowering
Plants look good, did a lil defoli on all of them, will do a big one on day 21. Also fed them some terp tea bloom. And filled reservoirs. Gonna thin out some tops next week. Especially on the og, she got like 30 tops.
Auto/clone tent looking ok. The big flowering babe is on point. Just wish she was bigger. And the others are picking up too. Think the roots have reached the bottom. And the neon green plant is taking over dark one. Its good to see budlets this early after harvest. I'll have to check back on how old the autos are. Been just flying by the seat of my pants with the autos. I only know the big auto is a bpp, the others are either bpp or lsd25.
Clones, well yall tell me. I know for sure the one in the middle(gsc) is going to make it, her new growth is green and healthy, the other 2 are on their deathbeds, but they still are breathing. I'll let them go until they keel over or shrivel all the way up.
Love this shit.

 

[Chrondocious]

Tent filled out nicely. That one auto is weird. Just all lime green but clearly has some vigor. Man I love this shit too. It sucked when I had to take a pause.

Thanks bro. Yeah it is full, still got one more good defoliation. This time when i defoliate, im taking all fan leaves off except a few on outside bottoms.
Yeah never had one grow like this. I think i have 2 different strains in that bucket too. I know the dark green one is a bpp, so lime greenie must be a lsd-25.
Hope I never have to take a break. Im trying to get a lil bigger, if i could figure out a way to get a 4x4 in here i would be happy.
Was looking at some new genetics. You ever heard of irie genetics. I've been checking them out, i wanna try a couple strains from them, the orange gasm and lemon jeffery. Been hearing good things. QQ

Maaannnn, One of my mother's I lost was Lemon Jeffery! Irie is legitimate. I would highly recommend. I didn't have a bad cut out of 5 LJ. It took me almost 2 years to decide which cut I wanted to keep. Lol. Good hardy plants. He's got a cool ass podcast and show on YT. If you go back, he gives some cool descriptions of his plants. He's got some new stuff out too. You'll get freebies. His website has the best deals I think.
