4x4 and some other tents

Hello everyone. I figured I would start a journal rather than just adding to my first post in the regular indoors section. I currently have 3 tents set up. One 2x2 with a Vivosun 100W light. one 2x4x4 with a purple light. I got it used so not sure on the watts, I think under 200W. Then finally a 4x4 with a Pheno 440. I am using Happy Frog soil and Mills Nutrients. Currently in the 4x4 is 4 plants, 2 Member Berry, 1 Maine Mystery, and one Riff Tree. In the 2x4 are 2 Riff Trees. In the 2x2, there are 2 seedlings, one mystery bag seed, one Emerald Fire OG auto seedling, and 6 clones coming from the plants in the 4x4.

My initial plan was simply to grow out 6 clones a friend had given me. These are the plants in the 4x4 and the 2x4. Currently both tents are in flower, the 2x4 in week 5, the 4x4 in week 3. I purchased the tents off FB marketplace, and in one I found a container with 21 seeds in a side pocket. I already had 5 Emerald Fire OG auto seeds so I decided to pop some seeds from both groups, the 2 seedlings in the 2x2 currently are one of the Autos and one of the random seeds.

Since I came across the seeds by chance, I decided to start going through them to see if there are any winners. So far my ratio is pretty bad, with only one out of six sprouting. I have 5 more I soaked in water and have just put in soil today. If they don't do well, I will try the traditional paper towel method next. I am hoping to get 2 mothers this way. I plan on keeping 3 mother plants, the third will come form one of the existing clones I have already planted in the 2x2. I am just waiting until harvest to see which one I will choose. Anyway, as things progress, I will update this journal.

 

Thanks!

 

Forgot I didn't actually include pics of the tents, lol just of the 4x4. Heres the 3 tents.

 

Hello everyone. Here is a little update. Currently the 4x4 will be at week 7 tomorrow, and the 2x4 is at week 9. The 4x4 seems to be just beginning to bulk up. I'm not completely happy with the 2x4, but they were the 2 Riff Tree cuttings that never seemed to get bigger so I left them in 2.5 gallon pots. They are beginning to show brown pistols, but I don't see any crystals turning milky yet.

I have a few pics, and I took one of the Riff Tree out of the 2x4 tent so you could see them without the purple light.

Finally, in the 2x2 tent I have a clone from each plant I have currently, plus the plant in the middle is an auto flower Emerald Fire OG, and the one in the back right is a bag seed plant.

 

A little update. 2x4 is at week 10, and the 4x4 is at week 8. Looking ok. 2x4 has been going a little slower, but it's been slower than the 4x4 this whole time. Got a digital microscope for the first time. Pretty fun. I see a few amber crystals here and there, but most look clear still.

 

Heres some update pics of the 4x4. Staring to see some color change in the leaves.

 

113 days from the day the clones were cut, the first 4 plants are ready. 2 plants from the 4x4 tent, both Member Berry, are ready. They have a lot of brown pistils and some amber crystals. Mostly cloudy. The other 2 are the smaller plants, both Riff Tree that I grew under my purple light. The plants in the 4x4 took 10 weeks in flower, the 2x4 took 13. There are still 2 more plants in the 4x4, another Riff Tree and one Maine Mystery. Planning on cutting them on Monday. I have some bubble bags and I'll probably put a lot of it into that because there is a bit of larf. But overall, looking pretty good so far.

 

118 days and I cut the Maine Mystery today. Lots of larf. I could definitely have done better and had bigger buds, but this is a bigger plant than either of the Member berry plants.

 

So just got through trimming the first 2 plants, Riff Tree and Member Berry. They have been drying for 8 days. It was a little fast, the humidity here dropped because it got cold, which of course now its snowing and much better, but overall satisfactory results. pretty good for a first time I think. I don't have a scale so I don't know exactly how much there is, but I filled 5 pint jars and one quart jar.

In future the biggest issues I had with the grow was I had 3 different strains and they all wanted to be at a different height. The Member Berry being the shortest suffered the most and had the airiest buds. In drying, I think I would have waited a little longer to cut, and I would like to get a tent to dry in for more consistent humidity. But, nothing can be perfect, so I'll take it. I also got at least 8 grams of bubble has out of this so far, and have a bag of trim to still run through the buckets, so again, very satisfactory.

 

Finally got through trimming all the plants and was able to get a dry weight. For the 2 Member Berry plants I got a total of 86 grams. For the 1 Maine Mystery I got 84 grams and for the 3 Riff Tree plants I got a total of 96 grams, with 66 grams coming from just one plant. In addition, I got an eight of hash from the wet trim of the the Member Berry and the Riff Tree each, as well as almost 9 grams of hash from the Maine Mystery alone. Overall, very happy, but I know where I could improve. I just started another grow journal for my second run through. Thanks for taking a look!
