First Journal: GG4 S1 + Sweet Seeds/Fastbuds Autos (Bugbee Method)

I have a small 30x and 60x i think - ill take a look. i hope i dont - i thought i had them early in flower but was never able to find any, just leaf damage. fortunately leaf damage stopped, so i stopped looking.

also about lollipopping. i should have gone all in with it, now i understand why ppl do it so thoroughly, i didnt do it completely and i have a bunch of larf growing in the bottom. Ill def completely lollipop the GG4s when i flip them. also cus the humidity!

That should work fine, try to keep a routine of checking regularly… staying on top of your IPM will save you a lot of work if you ever have issues, which we all do at some stage.

You can use the stuff you remove as your round of clones. Just remember the plant needs a good amount of fan leaves to drain and then die off during the flower process so don’t leave them too naked, those leaves are there for a reason and store alot of nutrients. :v:t4:

Plants are looking great mate

Nice man, are you putting lids on those bottles? The first few days especially it’s important to have a humid dome affect, once a day is good to let in some fresh air but I recommend leaving it fully closed up… the base aswell.

Ok well then fuck Uncle Ben and his racist ass.

and off they go… GG4s are officially under 12/12. I hope they dont become a problem after stretch, they barely fit.

And the autos on the other tent are doing their thing

So, there has to be at least a blue dream and a GSC from fastbuds and a bruce banner from sweet seeds. Problem is, i don’t now which is which because they got mixed up and I lost the tags. I figured I would eventually recognize them by the breeder description but they are all very different from what they are supposed to.

I don’t know much about autos but if they were regs they would finish in order of GSC, Blue Dream then Banner… that may help you ID them, that and the smell obviously

The way these autoflowers are crossbred, I doubt they have anything to do with the real GSC, Blue Dream, Bruce etc. I think they just give their best plants a popular name so they sell well. I looked at some grow journals and decided that these strains looked good, but I wasn´t really expecting blue dream etc…

The smell is all over the place, one smells citrus, another one smells like gas, and two smell sweet but are very different physically.

Im just glad they are alive.

They look good

That’s a common practice these days unfortunately

I would guess “blue dream”

“Banner”

“GSC’s”

thats what i thought too, but i still have two seeds left (out of 3) of GSC. so there can only be one GSC in theory. and thus the mystery.

quick update from my cell

The pet hair is pissing me off ( i know its my fault but the grow spaces are in my room, and i have 2 dogs and 3 cats so its pretty impossible to manage) do you guys manage pet hair during trimming or when?

A bud wash after harvest will fix that

I am a bit bummed out. I had wrongly planned to chop all autos this weekend. I chopped one and after taking another look with the loupe I realized that plant still had a week or two to go.

I aborted all the others, so 3 plants are still on the tent. it feels so dumb to chop early even if it was one.

Quick update from the GG4 S1 closet, they are showing pistils and I have finished supercropping and lollipopping

Trimming looks fine mate, don’t be so hard on yourself.

With the dryness put it all in a sealed jar/container and throw in some lettuce or kale leaves for 20 to 30 min then see how it feels. If it’s still too dry just leave them in there longer but don’t forget to take them out and just make sure there’s no water on leaf before putting them in.

The GG’s are looking great :call_me_hand:t4:

yeah im more mad about the early cut. the autos seem to be lacking potency, don’t know if it has to do with the fact that I cut them early or if its true autos are just not there yet in terms of genetics. Im already running the second batch of autos, we’ll see what comes out.

thanks man! hopefully theyll survive and be ready for you to try!

I’ve never grown any autos so can’t comment on that but I do know they are constantly improving and a lot of people on OG advocate growing them… they’ve definitely come a long way in the last 10 years. Was your scope good enough to check the trichome development?

Once you have your flowers at a nice level of dryness try to get some Boveda packs to throw in your jars to keep them at the optimal humidity level.

That would be epic bro, we fly out in a little over 7 weeks can’t wait!
