[bgsixxx]

So vegging plants have been up for 42 days, they're 7 days or so behind autos. So ill flip the lights tonight. Dont want them to get to big, plus i wanna get these done so i can start on autos.

Whats anyone's opinion on transplanting the 2 small seedlings? Im gonna do it tomorrow. Just wanted to have some other feedback. View attachment 1320148View attachment 1320149

Just curious:
What advantages do you experience by starting seedlings in a smaller container and then moving into the bigger pot?
I used to do this as well until I grew a few autos a few years back. It is recommended to start autos in the final pot to avoid having a plant with a finite lifespan spend any of its time in shock.
I liked the process due to the lesser amount of work required so I now treat all my photoperiods the same.

I agree with you about autos, and i do start autos in their final pot. But the thinking, i think, behind photos is to establish the roots. Not to sure, but i like to transplant my photos so i can get some mycos on those roots before real veg starts.

Day 1 flower
So the big plant on left might be another blueberry hermie. Shes starting to explode like her mom. I'll let her go until some pistils come out then i can tell. But its probably a blueberry clone. The gdp is looking rough around the edges, probably should've waited to flip, but wtf. The dynamite diesel is the strongest outta this run.
Day 54 for autos. I guess they are still swelling up. The LSD smells chemically af. The orion is dense af and frosty. This is gonna be some tasty shit, just not enough of it oh well. I think those 3-4days w/o lights triggered them into flowering. So i guess they wouldve maybe been a lil bigger. At least i didnt kill them like i was thinking about.
So the autopot system came yesterday. Those 6.6g pots are pretty big. Also got my ac infinity humidifier. Now just waiting on seeds, all autos, which should be here monday. Also recieved my canna coco nutes, still waiting on bricks. Probably gonna wait til around black friday to get the 5x5 ac infinity tent kit. Gonna turn this whole room into my grow playground. Slowly but surely. Gotta wait on my youngest daughter(26) to get out on her own, and then its full steam ahead. A few pics.

Auto update day 35 or so and they are small. The LSD is 14 inches and has some weird leaves and a deep purple color already, shes shot up 4 inches since last time i measured, not bad. Looking at pics there is a small amount of frost. Cant see it with my naked eyes!!! The orion is a dud right now, shes only 7 or 8 inches. I like her structure, she just a dwarf!!! Maybe she'll kick in gear and give me a good stretch. Gonna topdress some bloom nutes. And water in with some recharge next watering. Lowering ph helped with the LSD's leaves.

The seedlings are doing ok. The low humidity has probably stunted them they just wont stretch up. Lights are like 32 inches from them and on full blast(250w). I will transplant them into the diy air buckets tomorrow or Tuesday. Then i will start 2 more autos to replace them. Gonna order some more auto seeds.
Drying plants are in sealed, mostly, cardboard boxes. I left a couple of small cracks on each end, just enough to vent.
The orange gasm is top shelf smoke already, and that was the branch i had took a week before harvest, so this should be better, dam sure smells better.
The blueberry isnt as good as i thought. Too many dam seeds!!! Shes got frost, but no kick. Gonna try to press some of her and the rest will go in trim pile. I'll keep all top buds for a rainy day or hard times. I mean she'll get me high, but gotta smoke a cigar sized blunt to get there. Maybe it'll get better with a cure.View attachment 2301836View attachment 2301837View attachment 2301838View attachment 2301839View attachment 2301840View attachment 2301841View attachment 2301842

Thanks. Yeah my biggest was 3.5ozs. trying to get at least 5ozs a plant, auto or photo. Next run I'll be doing all autos.

Nice! Is that running them in 5 gallon buckets that’s the weight you’re targeting?

Yes. But these autos are in 3 gals. fabric pots. Yeah in the buckets i expect to get at least 3.5 to 6 ozs per. The ones i have In the 2x4 are photos, but after they get done ill be running the autopot xl 2pot system. And those pots are 6.6 gallons. And im expecting bigger plants, but will be running autos then so cant expect to much, with my history with autos. But i will change that, and hopefully these new genetics will help. Thanks for checking in bro, do u have anything growing?

Day 5 flowering
Plants have grown pretty good for 4 days. Cant really tell if air is helping. The clone on left is the biggest. Just hoping its the orangegasm. If not ill be down to 2 plants. Will do a topdress when they dry out again. And water it in with some recharge and kelp. I think the leaf curling is from excessive alfalfa meal...just learned that it shouldn't be mix in near root zone, only spread on top, also used way too much, only should use small amount. Ok learned something there. Just hope the GDP can recover. Which she is still growing so maybe she'll be fine. The clone was probably affected too, all of them had that leaf taco look, but dynamite diesel wasn't that bad.
Autos day 58, will let them go until seeds get here and i get pots setup. Hadn't received my canna coco bricks, so might grab some mother earth coco mix. Probably will use canna nutrients on them still debating. Will probably just mix up an organic mix and go water only. Save canna nutes for autopots. Next run im gonna go 5 or 7 gallon fabric pots in this tent. A few pics.

Day 8 flowering
These gals are stretching. The clone is really looking like the blueberry that hermied last run. I'll keep an eye on it, should be able to tell once the budlets start to form, that blueberry had a distinct look. The GDP has recovered from its problem, but the leaves are just weird looking. Everything is going as planned.

Auto tent is on day 61. Harvested LSD auto, she just wasn't doing any growing or drinking so she got chopped Monday. The other one will go until she looks ready and starts fading. Also recieved my auto seeds from speedrun seeds. And i must say, they have the best packaging I've come across for seed packs. They also sent about 10 free seeds. I ordered 22 seeds, ended up with 35. And after discounts and coupon code just paid 93 bucks. Also ordered some 5 gallon fabric square pots. So went ahead and planted a granite haze f5 auto seed. Snapped a few pics.

Today is day 14 flower and babes are looking great. Will let them dry out and hit them with some humic and fulvic and kelp water through the top.
Also ordered some canna pk 13/14 for mid flower.
The granite haze auto has been up for 2 days now, and the soil is pushing up on the supreme runtz. Have to be careful during this period, its crucial to be gentle as possible with auto seedlings. This is the stage when they develop roots, so no OVERWATERING!!! I do have dripper system setup for these 2 but wont use that for at least 2 weeks. Pics tonight when i get off. Also have the ac Infinity 5x5 pro tent kit headed to the house. Probably wont setup until these autos are done, January or so. Just had to pull trigger on this now, before the money needs to go else where. Come on Trump i need some tax breaks and lower prices!!!!lol

A few pics.

Did a lil lsting and defoliation, mainly on the ddiesel. Also other auto seed hasnt popped yet, will pop another 1 in a couple days. And i also recieved the ac Infinity 5x5 tent pro kit. They sure do a great job packing everything into one box. Shit is high quality. Thinking im gonna take the 3x3 out to the garage and use as a dry tent. Too lazy to try and run 3 tents. Plus theres no room in the mancave. A few pics.

Day 19 flower
These gals are doing alright. The ddiesel has some thick branches with nice stacking so far very short internodal spacing, on the other hand the GDP is tall and spacey!!! No nanners yet been searching hard too. The ddiesel is drinking way faster than the GDP, and handling the nutes better too. Gave them some plain water this morning phd to 6.5. Gonna just pull a few more leaves on each plant on day 21.

Day 7 for auto. Making sure not to over water. She'll get a drink tomorrow morning. i planted another supreme runtz in 2nd pot yesterday. Snapped a couple of pics.

Day 26 flowering
Gals are doing their thing. Drinking a gallon just about daily. Just been keeping reservoirs full with plain water. Will top feed 6tbs of dr. Earth bloom, 2tbs of dr. Earth veg and some ewc on thanksgiving. No nanners so far. Will top water that in with some pk booster. So far everything is going good with this run.

Day 14 and day 7 for autos. The bigger gal is starting to pick up the pace, the lil gal is doing pretty good too. Picked up some auto nutrients by cronk nutrients its called bonnie and clyde. Will start using that once dry amendments are used up. Still debating on that though. Might just top dress these babes too. So far im happy with these plants, no pistils yet which is great. Not much going on right now. Just trying to keep it all green and frosty. Snapped a few pics.

 

[bgsixxx]

Note to self:
Gave the gals a topdress last night, 2tbs of dr earth tomato and veg, 6tbs of dr earth bloom, and this might be a mistake at this stage, but i added a half cup of ewc too. Hope its not to much nitrogen, but we'll see. Each bucket got that mix, hadnt watered it in yet bc res still had water in it, will water in friday with epsom salt and recharge.
Autos got drenched with plain water yesterday so ill wait a day or 2 b4 hitting them again. Only have 4 plants going now, just feel like i need more going on, bc after xmas my 5x5 is going up. Maybe i need to pop about 2 more auto seeds. So ill have something to put in it. So I'll pop 2 seeds using paper towel method of same strain, and they'll go in buckets, with amended soil to start off and ill finish with synthetic bloom nutrients. Sounds like a plan. I'll get seeds going tonight.

Day 30 flower
Babes are looking great. Everything is growing and swelling nicely.
Been keeping reservoirs filled, gave them a top watering a couple days ago. I poured a gallon of recharge and some pk booster thru each plant, it filled reservoirs up halfway, so i just been topping off with plain phd 6.5 water. Also did a big defoliation on the dynamite diesel, also pulled a few off the GDP too. The GDP has some weird leaves, looks like magnesium deficiency. I'll keep an eye out, gotta give amendments time to break down. They're smelling great, dank af.

Day 19 and 12 for granite haze and supreme runtz. I guess they're doing ok, not too sure about these autos, but the granite haze looks like shes picking up pace. The supreme runtz looks like it might be a midget, but I'll reserve judgement for now. They are both green and not flowering yet, so im happy about that. All 5 seeds i put in paper towels had nice taproots so they got planted tonight. 2 autos in buckets are Sour black Cherry haze, then i have 3 photos, a punch pie, and 2 cherry jelly x golden goat, gonna just call it cherry goat from now on, they were freebies from irie genetics. Still cleaning out room and moving shit around before 5x5 goes up. When it goes up I'll probably pop a few more autos. Snapped a few pics.

Day 36 flower
Babes are doing their thing! Gave them some more canna pk boost and cal mag. They'll get plain water for next couple fill ups. Nothing much going on. Just watering and watching for herms.

Day 25 and day 18 for 2 autos. The haze is looking better, the runtz is still smallish but looks like shes picking up the pace. Just been giving plain water, with cal mag.
Outta the 5 seeds i planted only 4 came up, 2 cherry goats, and 2 sour black cherry haze(sbch). The punch pie seed was rotten, so put another in the pot. Plan on leaving domes on for a minute since humidity is so low. So far everything is on schedule, hadn't put up 5x5 yet, but got the boxes in the room ready to go...i figured why waste electricity now, ill let the autos get a lil bigger in the buckets then ill put tent up, and put the four autos in there. Then ill pop 3 more autos to put back in veg/auto tent, depending on how big photo seedlings are. Thats the plan for now.

 

[bgsixxx]

The ddiesel is very leafy, but frosty af. The GDP just has some funky leaf margins, but she's still growing so not gonna worry to much. Looking like these babes should be done by week 10. 35 more days. The holidays will make it go by quickly, hopefully. So i have about 45 days to get these photos ready for flower tent. They should be close to ready to flower by then. With the autos i will just keep popping auto seeds depending on the room i have in the veg/auto tent and the 5x5. Its gonna be a great 2025.
