Two Tents By Twox: A Memoir Of A Monthly 8oz Harvest

Twox said:
I decided to chop the Birthday Cake last night and found a little pm. I gave all the buds a h2o2 bath due to me being over cautious. Good tho g to because there's a ton of buds on these ladies... just a sneak peek

I kinda lollipoped them but they grow very different than "Regular" plants. They seem to like to flop all over the place and if i didn't keep bending the tops In veg they would have been 8 ft tall. I probably got about a ounce of popcorn off of 4 plants.. not to bad. I'm still trimming them so I don't have a final weight but there's a ton of buds. 9 jars of untrimmed curing buds.

Thanx for the compliment.. I flushed them hard this round... Came out nice so far.

Even if you don't grow them all at least you have them for a rainy day.. Some of those may become rare one day. I think they are a great investment to.. prices only go up as strains are discontinued. Especially sealed packs. I had some random person offer me $300 for my Mimosas today... Hahahaha... how about no. These are mine.. Makes me wish I would have bought more. I'm buying multiples next time.


I would say that's closer to $1000.. Definetly some fire there and those pineapple fields are very popular and may be unavailable now. I saw some Dying breed Watermelon Zkittlez sell out in 5 min at 300 a pack yesterday.. I was shocked

There is over $500 worth of gear but not quite 1000. It would be that or more if I had not gotten most of them during sales. I got 3 of those packs from Dynasty at a convention and 2 of the packs I got for $60 there and the Huck Diesel for $90 cuz it is a new release. I also got lucky and the site I ordered the rest of my Dynasty gear from sent me my order twice which is why I have 2 packs each of the Bluniverse and Blue Magoo. I contacted the site and asked if they wanted the second order sent back and they said it was their mistake and to keep them! I also have some freebies of Dynasty strains that I think will be future releases.

The seed addiction is real. There are soooo many other strains I want to obtain and so many other breeders that are releasing new gear daily. I need a second job and a higher plant count just to be able to buy them and run them all.
 
What's up 420,
Took a ton of pics today and only a few made the cut so here we go..

Candy Urkle.....
She's smells so good.. Sweet and creamy berries just like last time... I'm having a hard time keeping my hands off her. I'm going to run her for 9 weeks this time and see how she does.

Purple Envy 1.. She's my shorter pheno. Seems to be doing well and needs a little more time to show here true colors.
20170611_201835.jpg


Purple Envy 2. My tall pheno.. She's got the frost... Now I'm excited to see here flower.. I hated her last week for being so tall. She looks like she making some dense nuggets.. I like her now.
20170611_202111.jpg


Purple Urkle on chop day..
She smells like fruity pebbles again and got a nice flush and denied water for 6 days in a 2 gallon pot.. Her leaves were very limp when I cut them.. i snipped a few tops but this is as far as I trim until dry and semi cured. We're going for flavor and smoothness with this harvest and want to see if this improves anything..

Central California summers usually suck and stay in the hundreds but this year's been different.. it's mid June with a high of 70 today... I wish every summer was like this..

Hey Twox
I'm in the beginning of my first indoor grow (used to grow a lot outdoor years ago) and have been finding your journal very interesting and informative. Especially as perpetual is my goal. I've got a 4 x 4 Veg tent with LED's and a t5 on order. And a 8 x 8 bud tent with 2 x 600W HPS's and a 600W LED. I may need one more light for the bud tent. I'm growing in Coco 5 gallon fabric pots after starting germination into Solo Cups. So do you germ/clone more plants every 2 weeks and harvest every 2 weeks? So your veg tent is on a constant light schedule of what? And how many plants do you fit into your bud tent? I hope you don't mind me asking all these questions! I just like your results and I've never seen prettier colours in buds!! Respect from Australia

Sounds like a great setup..:high-five:
I aim for a harvest once a month it just doesnt always go as planned.. wait, it NEVER goes exactly how I planned it..

I try to put something in veg right after the flip (harvest, move plant from veg to flower, move clones to veg.. I just cut clones right before I flower and keep them under a weak light so they don't grow to quickly.. Then when I need them I just transplant and I'm ready to roll.

My veg is always at 18 on and 6 off.. If I have seedlings I'll run 24 hours for a couple days to keep them from stretching. The other ladies don't seem to care at all.

I'm kinda crazy and I have 12 plant In my 4x4.. lol. Some people like 6, I like 9 but I always end up with 12... there goes my plans again..

Hope that kinda helps, sorry I couldn't reply earlier, real life gets a little hectic sometimes. Hope all I well in Australia.:thumb:

That Urk should be dam tasty. :Namaste:

I've never starved them of water before so Im hoping I can taste a difference. My last harvest was really good so I have some high hopes.:thumb:

So what did I do tonight?..

Setup the male flowering grow space. :high-five:
I have a old-school laundry closet in my home that's has running water, drains, electricity and a exhaust. It was made for those double stacked washer dryer combos. So i lined the entrance with panda film and used weather stripping to light proof part of the doors. Hung my lights and fan and hit the power.. nothing.... awwww.. either the plug is burned out or the outlet has been disconnected from the breaker.. No time to play with these issues today so I'm running a extension cord... This should get real interesting real fast... I've never grown a male so I'm kinda excited..

Nice one Twox. I been sitting back watching and waiting for you to get some new genetics flowering. It'll be interesting to see your male/breeding project, though it'll be like a year before we get to see the fruits of your labour.

Which genetics were you planning on crossing with them TrapStar males?

And you run 12 plants in a 4x4?? Dang. I got a 3x3 and was planning on running 4 though I reckon I'll end up with 6. Hopefully I don't end up with 9 but I wouldn't be surprised.

Lol, I could probably fit more if I ran a sea green.. More plants = more work.

I plan on making so Trap star F2s with my keeper female and was thinking of hiting the Purple Urkle and Birthday Cake. The flavors should blend well with these two. I'll probably pop a few of each Just to see what I made and if it's good, I'll run a proper pheno hunt.

I try to have no more than 4 in my 4x4. I also rung 7 gallon pots so I dont really have room for but maybe 5 if I squeeze them in. I ran 12 in 3 gallons once in it and it didnt go so great for me :laughtwo:
Click to expand...

If I could veg longer i would probably run less plants but I have a nice rotation going so I'm not complaining. I'm planning some 5 gallons for my Slurricanes. Should be fun..
 
TheGreenYeti said:
Your rotation works for you thats all you can ask for really. i look forward to seeing those slurricanes get run. I really want to pick some up but I just dont have the money for them or the room to grow them out really.
Click to expand...

The Slurricanes are on a roll, they have about 4 to 5 weeks left to veg which means I probably popped them to soon. Oops.. I topped them soon after the pic.

I don't really have the room either.... I do have a bunch of cupboards in the kitchen though.. thanx CS..:high-five: Watch for some sales if you really want a pack.. Oregon Elite seeds has a 25% off discount right now. A heads up though, Sept/October IHG is rereleasing the Dolatos and the Jelly Breath... I NEED those Jelly Breath. I don't think I can live without them. I'll be mashing the refresh button that day... You know how people say they fall in love with growing? I got it real bad right now...

Idk how you guys friggen do it man.. it was a lot of work harvesting my three plants. How the hell do you keep track of so much? You do it well twox you seem to have a great system going and your plants show that.
Click to expand...

I've been on 12 hour binges harvesting before and I hated life.. I like dry trimming now only because I can do it when I want. It takes me atleast a week or longer now and promotes zero stress.. The EZ life..

How do I keep track of everthing? I have no freaking idea.. I just go with it and think about it a lot. I've been in a daze at work lately while my mind is running a 100 mph thinking about all the cool stuff I want to grow and how in all connects.. The damn Birthday Cake makes my mind race... I luv it... work sux anyways and and if they got a problem with that they can kiss my ass and go talk to my union rep. Lol, I need a vacation..

Esit... Look at all this rambling.. I must be stoned..
 
Hell yea that would be a good book haha.. i know what you mean work sucks and they know it sucks. Its nice to distract myself at work and think about my grow. When my coworkers ask me why im so quiet today i cant really say why.. i mean i work in a pharmacy so i dont think they would be very tolerable to someone who manages 250k in drug inventory and comes to work stoned and grows weed. Lmao im stoned too buddy dont worry.. your mind wonders... i gotta get some strains from those seedbanks, they seem more legit then the 'top' breeders like barneys farm and whatnot that you get through larger seedbanks.

Glade I'm not the only one...:thumb:
There a lot great beans out there and tons of strains to try.. Discovering something new is probably the best part. You never know what you might fall in love with.


My Candy Urkle looking and smelling sweet... I can't wait to smoke this again.. almost week 6..
