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

[bgsixxx]

As long as you keep em fed, they'll be fine. If you can finish in a solo cup, a 2 gallon can work. Maybe your bros plants were directly in front of the fan, or where the airflow went. That's how some of mine were. Super seedy, and like only a couple in another plant.

Yea didn't think about that solo cup thing. And ive seen plenty of them solo cup challenges. You're right, i was worried about the wrong dam thing, need to be worrying about my watering technique.

And i also think youre right about bros shit too. Either way im gonna smoke some, and make some butter outta some. Made some brownies the other day, and just used trim for the butter, i used 4ozs of trim to 1lb of butter, and they turned out pretty dam good, but not as strong as the ones i made with bud. I could only eat a half of one of those at a time. And i ate one at work and was fucked up the whole 12 hr shift. Got paranoid as hell too, thought everyone knew i was high!!!! Lol This batch is a little more mellow but still last about 8 good hours. My brownie game is on point right now!!!

Day 21 flower
Plants are growing pretty good imo, the frost has started. Went back and checked how plants were looking at 3 weeks last run, and its about the same. These buds might be a lil smaller but i think they are the same. Rubbed a leaf with some frost, and really no smell. 1st time for that, but they're sticky af already!!! Gonna strip them down some, will strip one of the spk's all the way down to see if it hurts or helps. Will also remove red clips. Gonna let them dry out alil dont wanna over water.

Day 21 for seedlings. Will transplant tonight, all 3. The sensi skunk is falling behind, they're all in the same batch of soil. Maybe she hit a hotspot in the soil. It is used soil. So I'll put them in 1 gallons tonight. I'll let them stay in those for a couple weeks, then into buckets they go. The plan is to take clones from blueberry and orange gasm. Then spray 2 clones from each with sts spray. And hope for the best.
Cheese autos compared to last autos are a lil smaller, but these seem just bushier and not as stretchy as last autos. They have a lot shorter internodal spacing. Hopefully thick old school cheesy buds!!!

Definitely 3 separate spk phenos. Can't wait to see them finish.

U think so? The plant on far right is the og, the 3 to left of her are the spk's, and to me they look uniform and alike. The one on the far left is a lil bit behind the other 2. Probably was the one that came up late. Yeah but so far im seeing the same structure outta the 3 shorter gals. Hell the og looks the same as far as bud structure, but it's just taller. They all look like they gonna be fire though. Frost already at week 3, i likey!!!

 

[bgsixxx]

Transplant complete. Everything went well.sprinkled mycos on all but one, forgot which one, oh well. Put the runt sensi skunk in a 2 gallon pot, the other 2 will stay in the 1 gallons for 2 weeks or so. Then will transplant them into the sip buckets.
Dam its hot in that garage. Real feel 103°f outside!!!

 

[bgsixxx]

So defoliation is done and i went ham on these bitches!!!! Well at least that's what it felt like while i was doing it, but looking at pics i missed a few big leaves. I'll let em recover, then I'll slowly remove bigger ones. But dam now the tent looks bare ass naked!
Will water some recharge and kelp in in the morning. Transplanted plants are looking great. Perked right up.
This morning

After defoliation

These dam autos!!!! Wtf i cant seem to get right with these bitches!!!! And people recommend these for beginners, hell naw!!!! I wouldnt recommend these to no one. Except my micro grow brethren, computer case type shit. These things are a crap shoot, but i will still grow them. Why not got the room in veg. Shit all im asking for is 2ozs a plant, is that too much?!!! Shit!!! These look like .5 oz plants or less to me!!! I guess i lost on this run. Gonna order some mephisto genetics, heard good things about their autos. Bad thing is i still have 8 seeds left of this. Maybe they'll legalize this year and i can throw them outside.

Pitiful

The reason why I haven't fucked w them.

Goosefrabbà Big guy
I've come to expect my autos to be shorties too. My first auto was a winner baby, she came from a private breeder. The rest have all been smallish sinceforth.
And oooh yeah Mephisto got good genetics. You got a strain in mind?
My smallest auto is still curing however I did a taster yesterday and 2 bowls knocked my dick in the dirt.

At least you'll have something to lean on while your Mephisto grows.

Hadnt ordered yet. But yea the autos ive grown have been fire, just smallish. I will keep growing them until i find some gems.

I just figured i have room in veg. So why not, lights are gonna be on anyway, and i have an extra light. But i feel you though if space is a concern. Bc my veg is getting ready to be stuffed with those 2 buckets going in there.

Day 31 flowering
Nothing special going on just posting. These lil gals are starting to fatten up some. The sfvog looks the biggest. The spks have harder nugs. The smell is not too strong, but you can smell it with tent open. I do have room in there for a bucket. So im gonna transplant orange gasm into bucket, let it recover 2 weeks or so, and stick it in there with flowering girls. I will take clones from orangegasm and blueberry...and spray one with sts to reverse.
Day 28 autos, veg day 31
1 auto is showing flower, the other hasn't. Hadnt done anything to stress them, well maybe underwatered slightly. But nothing major. Few pics

Transplants are done. Went with a mostly coco mix 70% coco, 20% ffof soil, and 10%rice hulls and perilite. Also added .5 cup of each of the following: gypsum, alfalfa meal, biochar, and azomite. Also 2 cups of ewc and 2 cups of veg and bloom dry amendments. Made a 10 gallon batch, still have about 2 gallons left. Will use that for clones, will dilute 3 to1 with str8 coco. Probably take clones in about 10 days off of the orange gasm.
Hopefully these gals can handle it. 1st time trying this. Watered them in with some recharge. Also poured some Into reservoirs. Snapped a few pics of both tents.

These summertime temps are killing my plants. I can only get temps down to 86 in tents. Might need to invest in a bigger vent fan. Its the end of week 5 so these gals need to start swelling. Looks like they have all gotten their leaves back. Might do another small defoli after week 6. The spk's are gonna have some small dense nugs. The og and 1 spk will have spear shaped nugs not as dense but still respectable. For small plants these mfers reek!!!

Yeah, them spk grow like little clusters. I chopped my three this morning, at about 8 weeks. Could have went an extra week, but I needed the space. And I got a thrip issue. They're good smoke for sure. I think maybe the buds on my first one were loose cause my cob light was going out. I don't even think it was pushing 25%. Still, that shit hits. Kinda earthy, kinda sweet. It doesn't choke me up like the mom did either, or make me over tired. Have to see with these other phenos. They are small plants though. Short, and bushy. I need to try and breed some stretch in there. Goals. Lol

I'll probably let em go 10 weeks, but start checkin trics at 8. Last 10 days they'll get 18-20 hrs of light.
But yeah size is not the main concern i just want some fire. And these buds look great. These plants have been healthy the whole way. Probably was my fault they're so small, didnt veg them long enough, and should've trans planted 1 more time into 3 or 5 gallon fabrics. I've learned on that front.

Day 35 flower start of week 6
Babes look the same. Still green and perky. Also swelling and poppin pistils. Topdressed with some Roots organic terp tea bloom and watered in with phd water.
Transplants are doing great, tied them down to spread out. Gonna fill res up on both, theyve already depleted what was in there, I'll wait a day or two though.
Sensi skunk is starting to pick up the pace too, she'll be transplanted next. As soon as i see some candidates for cloning i will take them.
The autos are still growing, but are small. I topped 1 and left 1 to grow normally. The normal is about a foot tall, the other is about half that, but with more budsites. I'm hoping for at least an ounce a plant, which i doubt. Probably .5oz a plant. This grow isnt going as planned, but thats ok this run im learning. I've learned 1 thing, stick with the buckets. Was also looking at the air cube ebb and flow system. Way too expensive for me. But maybe i can diy something like it. Snapped a few.

They all look good. It's always learning it seems. One of the trickiest things is making sure I don't run out! Lol it can be frustrating with lower yields. Like you said before too, these summer temps. Smh. I don't have a/c so my house gets pretty warm. Not been as bad as most the country, but still in the low 90s. Hard to keep garden temps down.

Yeah thats my main goal to not running out!!! But as much as ive been smoking lately, i could use a small break.lol Not too sure if this run will last until next harvest, but I'll dam sure have something ready to flower when they're done. Might even put a bucket in there b4 they're done. Im switching to 20-4 during last 10 days of flower. Yeah these freakin temps. We've been in the mid to high 90s real feel 108. Whew no ac, i remember them days. I feel for ya dog, dammit!!!
