Bgsixxx's 2x4 & 3x3 tent adventures!!!

Snapped a few more day 52 flower pics, day 55 NL autos, day 8 seedlings. Cleaned up the autos a lil. Didn't do anything to flower tent gals, just filled reservoirs with water. Not much going on. 18 more days and will harvest everything. The autos aren't frosty at all, but they are smelling pretty good. Weird

Day 56 for nl autos
The one in the front is about done, must be 2 different phenos. The back one looks like it has a minute. They do have trics, just need a scope to see them. Checked trics, all cloudy with a few amber, will give her a couple more days. Maybe, just tired of lookin at her tricless ass!!!

i love em!!! they make watering easy, as far as when to water. and how much. just fill em when theyre empty. And the plant takes what it needs.

Day 56 flowering
Everything is going as planned. Was trying to let these plants go 70 days, but they are looking done to me. But im gonna stick with the plan. Im so anxious to harvest, but ive got time, veg plants are no where near ready. Timing is off this run. I guess they're fattening up, but looking everyday, its hard to see the difference. I think they're swelling though. And they are frosty. I'll start checking trics friday, just fir the hell of it!!! They will go 70 days. Might take a sample or 2, but im working on my patience in the garden. Wine making is also helping with my patience. Got 8 gallons going now. 3 apple wine, and 5 banana wine!!!

Day 59 Nl auto/day 12 for seedlings
Harvested 1st auto. She was looking done and i need weed!!!! This harvest im not gonna be so generous, gave about a quarter of my last run away!!!(4ozs) I say it every harvest, but i mean it this time. Last auto is looking so so, not impressed with these autos, they show promise in the beginning, but i either fucked them or the genetics suck. Wont run them nl autos again.
The seedlings 3spk's and 2 sfvog's. Are chugging along. Not stretching so dimmed lights a tad. Nothing special yet. Still gotta sex these plants. Think im gonna use 3 gallon pots, was thinking of 2 gallons. Also gonna pop some more seeds, not sure what yet maybe orange gasm and a blueberry. Gonna start trying to grow plants a lil shorter and wider, less leggy. Got some pics.

Day 60 flower
These babes are dripping with resin!!! Heavy dense nugs all around, not denser than the glookies, but nothing can compare to her density. They're still spittin white hairs, very few but they're still sprouting. The gsc on the right is really purpling out. She's a great looking plant, probably my best plant so far. The other gsc on left is doing great too. She's been abused and broken, but still is producing some oily greasy dense nugs. The og is coming along great too. I thought she would get swallowed up by the gscookies but she meshed right in with em. Her buds are greasy af, and fat and dense. I think the 70 day mark is gonna be perfect for these babes. Just been giving them water like every 2-3 days, trying to stress them a lil to produce more juice!!! Thinking about switching lights back to 18/6 for 8 days, then turning lights off for last 48 hrs. Also turned brightness up to 100% on 200 watter. The 150 watter stays on 100%, can't dim it. Dropped 2nd net to hold up those 2 long branches on gsc on right. Will tie anything else up to the net if they start flopping. They're leaning real hard now, but the 1st net is doing its job and holding these heavy buds up.

Day 63 flower NL auto/Day 16 seedlings
The spk is real delicate when it comes to watering, seems like she likes to dry out a lil more than the sfvog's. So they were looking a lil droopy in pics, but they look better now. Might be why they're smaller than sfvog's. The sfvog's are looking great. Gonna hit them with some fish shit, and start getting pots ready for final transplant. Decided to go with 3 gallon ac infinity fabric pots, which are more like 4 gallons. Also thinking about diying an automatic watering system with 5 gallon reservoir. Seen a couple of lil cheap kits on Amazon.
Also stopped by bro's house to check his shit out. And his 4x8 tent is full with day 33 flowering buds and looking great. He's been doing more research and learning on his own, to develop his own style for his own situation. Just what i taught him. Also told him less is more when it comes to these plants. No pics of his this time. I'll grab some next time. Here's a few pics of my babes.

More day 60 pics. Also forgot the harvested auto is dried and trimmed.
Got 45g. Not bad. They do have frost, and the smoke is alright. Probably should've went another week or so. But its not bad, and my mom loves it. Probably gonna make some brownies outta it though. Just not my kinda high.

Day 63 flower start of week 10.
Gscookies are turning red!!! Dam that shit surprised me, it happened overnight. Shit is crazy. The moms didnt do that at the end. I like it. Og isnt swelling anymore and shes fading hard. These babes are looking done, but still to many clear trics and not enough amber for me. But all in all these are some of my most beautiful plants ive had so far. And the gsc on the right will probably be my biggest plant so far. My biggest was Tropicana banana at 5.7 ozs. Idk gonna be close. All in all im happy with this run and it was easy again with the buckets, but this next run will definitely test my watering skills, bc bucket will not be used. Trying to grow more plants in smaller pots(3gal). Its gonna be hell trying to remove that net, but im determined to cut the whole plant down on this run. I like drying whole plant. Plus dont have enough room to hang each branch on hangers. A few pics

Day 67 flower
Gettin down to the nitty gritty!!! Babes are starting to lean a lil. Checked trics got about 5-10% amber, mostly cloudy with a few clear here and there. They'll get chopped Sunday, day 69. Tonight will be their last light day, they'll get 48hrs darkness, then chop chop!!!! They smell great.
Day 70 NL auto/Day 23 for seedlings
Seedlings are doing better. I think ive been underwatering them, but back on track now. Nl auto is almost ready, trying to wait on some of these white hairs to recede. And trics to get right.

Its gonna be a busy weekend for me. 1st gotta transplant these seedlings, gonna put them in 2 gal containers until i figure out the sexes.
Then i got the harvest of flower tent Monday. Also have about 8 gallons of wine to rack. Clean tents. So gonna be a great weekend for this old guy!!!
Early
Later

A few more close-ups!

Day 68 flowering
Plants are in the dark for 48hrs. Took a branch from each to sample. They'll be chopped sunday night, or monday morning. Can't wait.
The NL auto is on day 71, guess I'll let her hang around a lil while longer. She is starting to smell faintly when u touch her. Her trics are barely visible with the naked eye. Buds are dense af, but they look fluffy!!! Crazy!
The seedlings im gonna say are on day 25 or so. I'll have to go back and look. Transplanted them. Trying some biochar in the soil mix this time. I also sprinkled some mycorrhizae and biochar into hole and on root ball. Watered in with some cal mag and mosquito bits. Expecting explosive growth!!! Snapped a pic of veg tent.

Day 70 harvest day yeeeehawwwww!!!!
Everything is chopped and hanging. Just hung plants whole, did a little leaf removal. Things are crowded in there, will have to keep a check for mold. If i have to will break plants down. Temps are staying at 72 and humidity is a steady 55-60%. Will wait until outside leaves start crisping up and falling off before i put in boxes.

Veg tent is looking ok. The spk's are still recovering, but the sfvog's never missed a beat. Just gonna flower these out and hope for the best. Gonna pop a couple more auto seeds, and maybe try to pop another blueberry fem.
This harvest is hard to judge weight for me, but gonna guess 13ozs, but hoping for an lb. Here's a few pics.

Setting up my 2x4 now. How do you feel about plant count? 3 max? 2 would be better? Strain dependent? Thanks man, love your journal!

I would say 3 max. Just depends on how long you veg. With 2 i went 45 days or so. With 3 like 30days or so. Im gonna put 5 reg seedlings in next run, and will probably start flowering immediately. Good luck man.

Day 33 veg for these plants. They are growing good. The spk's are a lil rough around the edges, literally. But they are still growing at about same rate as sfvog's. Just been giving plain water, but did hit them with some calmag and kelp, along with a dose of mosquito bits. Been seeing a few gnats flying around the house. Dont know if its from plants or wine making, but they're not that bad.

Also started trimming the last run, almost done with the og jush so far 2 full jars and still about 1/3 to go. Been working, so ill be off mon, tues and wed so should have weights and be done by then. Only plant still not dry is the nl auto. Shes still damp, weird.

Day 41 veg
I see 1 female so far, and im almost certain i see at least 2 or 3 males...but will give them time. Gonna flip lights on day 50, hopefully by then ill see some female parts!!! They're starting to spread out, kinda hoping they hurry up and show some preflowers so i can transplant them into some buckets. If they dont show by day 50, they'll stay in the 2 gallon pots.
Also got a lil antsy, wanting to pop something...since im waiting on cheese autos. So i popped 3 fem seeds, a blueberry, a sensi skunk, and an orange gasm!!!! Might of bit off more than i can chew, bc im still gonna run 2 cheese autos in veg tent, that'll make 10 plants. Never had that many, we'll see how that goes. But im sure i have at least 1 male in the 2x4, so hopefully things balance out, or flower tent could be slammed to the gills!!! Lol

Edit: post from last thursday, forgot to post!!! I love getting old!!!


Ok growmies the harvest is done and jarred. The total weight from all five plants, 2 nl autos, and the 3 in the 2x4, was 434g, 1/2 oz from a pound.
Nl auto#1-43g
NLauto#2-56g
GSC#1(she was on the left)-116g
GSC#2(red gal on r)112g
OG kush-106g
Overall im happy with these babes. But i feel the scrog did help a lil, got 2 or so more ozs. Happy about that. The GSC #1 turned out to be the best plant. She weighed the most and she's the most potent. But the og and other GSC is pretty dam good too. Im happy with the high on all, but really cant tell a difference in going the extra week. But i did see a difference in frost from the last 10 days of 18/6 lights and 48hrs of darkness. But all this shit is strong, half a blunt and im good for a few hours. The NL auto is ok as far as high goes, but she'll get better with cure, at least the 1st one did. Probably gonna make some butter with her and the trim.

Veg plants are on day 33-36 some where In there. Had them slow growing, but now ill let them veg hard for 2 weeks or so, then flip. Got them in the flower tent, giving about 500ppfds. Switched 150watter with one i can dim. Veg tent is empty at the moment. Getting buckets ready now, gonna pop an lsd-25 auto and a banana purple punch from 420 fast buds. Also gonna pop some more fems.

Edit: have since changed this, i ordered some cheese autos, so I'll do those autos instead.

Nicely done!

Day 44 veg
Everything is moving along fine. Plants are getting bigger, but still only 1 confirmed female. But they are all looking great. Water today with some recharge. 2 gals for all 5 plants.

Also recieved my seed order today. So went ahead and planted 2 cheese autos. Went with 3 gal fabric pots instead of buckets. Might need headspace bc gonna have to use light i cant dim until i get a new one.
The other seeds haven't come up yet, it's been 3 days, so they got time.

Went str8 into soil with seeds, no soaking or nothing. Did put mycos and a lil biochar in seed holes on fem seeds, just used mycos on auto seeds. Its much easier than paper towel, but paper towel has advantages that i do miss. Biggest one is being able to tell if seeds are viable and grow a taproot. But i also like the mystery of waiting on that baby to come up.

I want to try and get something harvested by mid aug. So i need to flip soon, but also wanna wait until i see the autos come up. But i think ill flip these plants, im anxious to see if they're girls or boys!!! Gonna change lights tomorrow Friday. A few pics of plants and empty pots!!!lol

This is officially day 1 for the 3 seedlings in veg tent. Took 4 to 5 days for them to sprout. Not too bad. Now lets see how they do in this very used soil. I'm gonna transplant in a couple weeks.
Day 46 for vegging plants. Just felt like snapping a pic of them looking perky, most pictures have been of them just waking up, or me underwatering!!! Lol still only see pistils on 1, gonna change lights tonight. So Sunday will be first day of flowering!!! The way these are looking, im in for a smaller harvest, but its hard to tell now, crazy things happen in flower. Also need to topdress these plants. Might wait til i find out their pronouns!!!
