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

These flowering babes are smelling very good already. Hairs have just started to turn red on a few buds, so the swelling begins. I think i will get at least 3.5ozs each off of these 2. Really going for good quality rather than weight. And so far the ddiesel is looking the frostier of the 2.

As for autos, i still see no pistils, so hopefully they are thriving and happy. The bigger gal has some kinda deficiency, calcium i think so she has gotten some cal mag and she seems happy. So far everything is going as planned. Just gonna keep popping auto seeds when i see space for them.

Well noticed something, when i took the drippers out of the autos, they started looking much better. I left the holes open, so the air to roots must've helped. Idk just something i noticed, i also dimmed lights a lil, and fed the big one some calmag. So could be any one of those things, along with adjusting ph up alil. Whatever i need to keep doing this at this stage for these autos. They hardly need water during early veg. Giving big gal about .75 of a liter every 2-3 days. Calmag every other watering. REMEMBER!!!

Day 40 flower
Gave all my gals some recharge and kelp. They are looking ok. Looks like either calcium or mag toxicity is happening now on ddiesel. These flower gals are fattening up. So not gonna worry about them too much. They're still drinking good.

Day 29 and 22 for bigger autos, about day 6 for small gals. The other punch pie seed i planted came up, but was cover in mycelium, a big white fuzz ball covering seedling. So will get some new dirt in a solo cup and pop the last seed of punch pie. Must be something up with this dirt, bc other seedlings are looking rough too. I'll let them keep going for now.
The bigger autos are doing great. The bigger one, the granite haze, has a few pistils poking out. So i guess its day 1 for flowering for her. The supreme runtz is definitely picking up the pace. They all got some recharge, and the gh got a topdress of 10tbs of veg and bloom 5tbs of each.

So been contemplating whether to go with three tents or 2. Decided for now it will be 2. I'll keep 2x4 in the closet, and just put photos in there. Also im gonna put up 5x5 when i get 6" flange to run ducting to ceiling. The other tent will be taken down. I'll use it as an emergency dry tent. I'll put all autos and vegging photos in the 5x5 tent. When these photo seedlings get out into flower I'll pop 2 more auto seeds and I'll put them in autopots xl with str8 canna coco. Also have canna nutes to use with them. Thats the plan for now. Snapped a few pics.

So far im impressed with these autos from speedrun seeds. All have popped and all are growing pretty decent. If there are any problems they're my fault. But so far they look good. I'll top dress s.runtz in about a week. I think these gals are gonna be big, but I've been wrong before. Just gonna try my best to keep them healthy and thriving.

So was on the fence about running exhaust to the attic or out the window. So gonna try out the window, ordered the ac Infinity window exhaust kit. I'll see how that goes with the smells. Do have a refillable carbon filter, so will be using that.
Will make a post tomorrow about plants. But the 1st 2 autos are really taking off now. They're looking great, the big gal looks like she might needs some calcium. She'll get a lil calmag next watering. They're both starting to drink alot more too, thats great. So everybody gets calmag next watering, except seedlings, they get kelp. The photo seedling arent looking to good. So I'll put domes back on, might've taken them off too early. They are just not growing. And the 3rd punch pie hasnt come up yet, but i think i see it pushing up. Also the 2 autos in the buckets are doing ok, might put domes back on them too, since my humidity is so low and dry! Update tonight with a few pics.

Day 44 flowering
The leaves are staring to get ugly on the GDP, but they've been like that for a minute, might be too much food. Slightly burnt. The diesel is doing same thing, tips burnt. They'll just get water from here on out. They are swelling. Did a slight defoli on the ddiesel. Both plants are stinkin real good. The ddiesel is denser than the GDP. GDP looks like she'll finish first. Her buds are pretty dense, but not like the ddiesel.

Day 33 and 26 or so for 2 bigger autos, and around 12 days or so for bucket autos. These babes are growing pretty good, i took a side by side comparison, and i can see a big difference in 4 days! Gonna have to expedite getting this 5x5 up. Been tucking leaves on big gal, and its been working for the most part. Snapped 2 leaves off. These autos dont have alot of leaves on them. But im happy so far with the growth on these four.

The lil seedlings are hanging on for dear life. All 3 are up and growing. Snapped a few pics.

A few more pics

Day 49 flowering
These babes stink. Can smell it as soon as i enter room. Strongest smell so far. I usually have to open closet to smell anything. They're swelling up noticably. Both plants are slightly overfed. But they're loving it, so all they get now is high quality h2o!!! The nugs are hard on both, but ddiesel is about a 9 on the denseness scale. Shes gonna be a beaut! They both are. Gonna ph the water to 6.5, have been just giving them str8 dechlrntd tap water. Maybe they cant asborb potassium bc ph is a lil to high. Might also be experimenting same thing with granite haze auto.
Day 38 and 31 for bigger autos. Day 16 or so for autos in buckets. Not really keeping track of seedlings yet. Once i transplant then I'll start counting veg days for them. They might be slightly overwatered, and stalled. So will let the lil seedlings dry out. The autos in the buckets are picking up the pace. I havent filled reservoir up yet, will do that tonight with plain phd water. The bigger autos are growing nicely. The haze is yellowing up a lil but i dont think dry amendments have broken down yet. Gonna give her some epsom next watering. Shes still heavy when i lift tested. Thats how i tell when to water now when using pots. The supreme runtz is really picking up the pace, tied her down and tucked and pulled some leaves, so she can spread out.
The plan for tomorrow is to finally get this tent up. Got to empty auto tent out, break it down and pack it up. Tonight will make decision on venting tent. Think im a try the window vent. Just dont like idea of window being open, will have to rig up some kinda security bar. Also need to pick up some screening for outlet on vent. This shit is fun, and expensive if u let it get you. I will be doing a lot more diying stuff from here on out. Gotta stop spending, the only thing i wanna spend for is nutes. Snapped a lot of pics for some reason.

So finally got the 5x5 up and running. And i have to say its pretty dam easy to setup these ac Infinity kits, took about 15minutes to get tent up, about 30 mins to get exhaust fans and oscillating fans hooked up, and about 2 hours before my high 9n brownies ass could figure out the 69controller. But finally got it setup, and this fuckin light is huge and bright. The fans are super quiet, the inline fan is quiet up to setting5 after that it gets a lil loud, but not to bad. I have the light dimmed down to 4 outta 10 and temps havent hit 80 yet. It stay around 77, and im venting str8 into the lung room for right now, since its pretty cool outside. I know in the summer things will change.

Autos are loving the space after their first day in the tent. Also decided to check ph and ill be dammed if my ph was like 5.3-5.5, way to low. Recalibrated ph pen and checked again, yup 5.3. so grabbed a cup of tapwater and checked it, it was 6.9-7.1.. let it sit for a couple hours and checked again and it was down to 6.7. so ill just let water sit for a day and check ph before watering from now on. Well I'll just check 5 gallon buckets of water. If they are between 6-7 ph, good to go. But they plants are still thriving, just not uptaking some nutes. Hopefully theyre str8 now. Also filled buckets of smaller autos for the first time, ph 6.7 water.
Dam its a lot of space in this tent. Also zipped my self up inside to check for light leaks, found none, just have to make sure port socks are completely closed. Thats the only spots i saw lights. Tent takes up half the dam room though, small room. So far i like it, and it is high quality and thickest ive had. Snapped some pics of course.
Before 2.7x2.7 got pulled
After big mama got situated

Day 56 for flower
The GDP is just about done, checked trics mostly cloudy with a lil amber. I'll let her go another week. The ddiesel still has 2 weeks or so left. They are looking ok. Gdp looks pretty bad as far as leaves. Looks like im having the same problem with the granite haze auto. Been checking ph and its been 6.5-6.8.
Autos are on day 45 for big granite haze, day 38 for supreme runtz, and for 2 sbch's its day 23 or so. The granite haze is looking pretty rough around the edges. Might be over fed. Not too sure whats happening, looks like lockout, but plant is still growing ok. Just gonna stick with the plain water for next couple of waterings. With a dose of recharge thrown in there. The supreme runtz is looking ok, shes starting to stretch upward now. The other 2 autos are starting to pick up the pace.
The photo seedling are picking up the pace too. Gonna setup the auto pots today. They will be str8 canna coco using canna a and b and pk13/14. Got some cronk nutrients for autos, guess ill give that a try on the runtz, once it needs more nutes, i believe nutes in pot is depleted. So next watering she gets a half to quarter dose of bloom.
Snapped a few pics. Gotta get a better camera.

So went ahead and put some auto seeds in some canna coco. Also went ahead and set auto pot system up. Have the 2 6.6gallon pots filled with str8 coco mixed with some mycos. Put 2 Fatality autos from speedrun seeds in those. Watered them in with a weak mix of canna a&b 5ml/gal. Watered each pot with 125ml before I planted seeds, waited about an hour, then planted. Used turkey baster to moisten dirt over seed. Used the rest of the canna i had and filled 5 gallon fabric with it and mixed in some grow dots. Just gonna use plain water phd to 5.8-6.2 and recharge once a week on that pot. Planted a mystery seed from speedrun in it. All the mystery seeds look pale and small, don't know about these beans. The Fatality seeds were big and dark green. We'll see.

Was thinking about top dressing the supreme runtz auto, but shes pretty green. Dont wanna overfeed like I've done to the others, gotta work on my topdressing skills with these autos. Also gotta find a style and stick with it. But thats what this is an experimental run, never had a space nowhere near this size. But hopefully it'll fill up now. All this moist coco raised the humidity up to perfect vpd range, so thats a plus, but this granite haze is looking rough, but flowers are getting bigger. She just gets plain phd water and recharge once a week. Snapped a few pics, not really much changed from 2 days ago, but auto pots and new round fabric pot.

So checked trics on both plants, also sampled both. Trics are mostly cloudy, not much amber. So they both will get harvested around day 70 they're on day 61 now. The potency is there, both are headbangers, just need a lil more time. Nice head high to start out, and relaxing after about 30min. Last about 2 hrs or so. So I'm happy about potency, but it could get better. Wanting to see them fade out a lil. Overall im satisfied with this run. Should get at least 3-4ozs each.

The seeds i planted still havent come up yet. Other plants are doing their thing. Snapped some tric pics.

Nice trichome pics. What kind of magnifier are you using?

Thanks bro. Yeah its a cheapo amazon microscope. It was 18bucks. Wish I would've gotten the wireless one, mines has some kinda short in it. So will probably pick up a wireless one. It has a light thats dimmable and button where you can snap pics. Definitely worth 20 bucks. A few pics.

Big autos day 50, small autos in buckets are on day 27, and yes they are miniature. Mightve overwatered, dont think so, but who knows. So this tall lanky auto is looking very rough, and i dont know what it is. Ph is on point. And the supreme runtz is doing great, and i haven't even topdressed her yet. They're both in the same mix, mixed 10 gallons of soil so both have same nutes and been getting same water. Temps and humidity are on point. And now the ones in the buckets are doing the same thing. Idk wtf is going on. Maybe some of these plants are light feeders. But the supreme runtz is looking pretty good in my eyes. Maybe I'll try some epsom salt, and foliar spray it on them. Even though its flowering i think it's still early enough to spray w/o worrying about mold, plus its dry af round here.
On a good note, both Fatality autos have popped above soil, so its officially day 1 for those babes. And the mystery auto seed is pushing soil up, so she'll be up tomorrow, but I'll just say they all started today. Hope they take off.
The flowering babes are very close, ordered me another microscope, wireless. The one I have has a short in the cable.
The photos are picking up the pace a lil more.

Day 66 flower these babes are done. They will be chopped in the morning. Got the lights beaming down on them for last 24 hours. They have fattened up nicely. Im guessing 6.5ozs from these babes. Checked trics real good. Mostly cloudy with about 10% amber. And a few clear. Im ready for them to go. So i can get the seedlings in there. Snapped some pics

Ok so chopped GDP!!! Day 68 or so. She looks ready to smoke and eat. Dynamite Diesel is in the dark she gets the ax Wednesday. These babes look tasty, my next run with the 3 plants i will veg longer, I'll try 50 days. If theres space, the photo seedlings are starting to take off. Need to transplant, was gonna do 1gallons but might just go straight to the buckets. Going to hydro store tomorrow, will probably be last trip this year, the tax man is on my ass, again!!!lol Gonna grab some FF coco loco and will probably pick up some gaia green bloom, want to try that out. Snapped 1 last photo of the GDP. I dont know what happened this run, all my plants got burnt real bad, maybe i over amended, but i used the same mix ratio and soil as i did on my best run. Oh well, will dump all this soil out, and start fresh with some amended coco in buckets. Oh yeah gotta get a big bag of ewc too.

The flowering 2x4 tent is drying now. Finally made it, and these babes smell awesome. Im gonna stick with my eatimate of 6ozs total from both plants. They will dry quick as my humidifier is currently busy in big tent. So humidity is very low around here, so after 4-5 days hanging, they should be crispy on the outside. Then ill put them in cardboard boxes for about 3 or 4 days or until they feel ready for grove bags.
Also will hook up vent to the attic for 5x5. Hate cutting holes in the ceiling, but its for a great cause, so I'll do it!lol
And the last note, I'm getting rid of the 2 sour black cherry haze autos in the buckets, they just aint living up to expectations. My fault of course!!! And i dont know what I've done wrong. So will grab a few bags of coco loco, some ewc, and some gaia green bloom. Thinking about mixing happy frog and coco loco together and amending it. Also gonna grab me some ac Infinity self watering bases, so i wont overwater fabric pots anymore. I will plant 2 or 3 more autos in buckets, and use the other 3 for the photos. I'll mix all buckets up today and give them a watering of recharge to innoculate. So my day is pretty busy. I love it and its cold as shit outside!
I'll try some pics.

Day 60 for tall granite haze auto, she's still looking rough, but still fattening up. Don't know the problem so will just keep giving plain water. Noticed on the gdp when i dumped soil out roots were stinking bad. Maybe root rot. So I'll let this big gal dry all the way out before watering again.

Day 53 for The supreme runtz, she is drinking fast. Hit her with a small dose of canna pk 13/14. Her edges were yellowing up, I'm thinking potassium deficiency. Plus its mid flower what can it hurt. She smells sweet like juicy fruit chewing gum. Nice. The haze smells great too. But the frost is thicker on the runtz.

Day 10 for auto pots. Gave them a feeding today each got about 1000ml of nutrient water. The lil weak one leafed seedling is finally starting to grow the other side. Probably should of gotten rid of her, but she lives on, for now.
Day 8 for mystery seed in the 5 gallon fabric pot. Shes doing great, havent given her much water, i guess there was enough in there for them from when i hydrated bricks. Pot was heavy af, so i let her go. Pot has lightened up, but still not lite enough for my liking.
Day 26 for photo seedlings. They are looking ready for their transplants. Got buckets ready with some ffof soil on bottoms, and happy frog on top. No amendments this time. Will top dress 4 weeks after trans plant or during flip. Still waiting on the dynamite diesel to dry in 2x4. Will clean her out real good. Clean fans again. Then I'll transplant and get them vegging hard.
Used the other block of canna and have 2 3gallon pots amended with some ewc, perlite, biochar, and some dr earth veg. Added extra perlite for an airy mix. Will top dress at day 21. Have 2 seeds in jiffy cups, I'll just drop them str8 into the pots when ready. Might cut bottom off so roots can keep growing down. The seeds ive popped are some ive ran before a banana purple punch auto(bpp) from fastbuds 420 and a cheese auto from Barney's farm.
