Indoor First Sawney Bean Garage Grow

[R Wayne]

The first 3 weeks there were no signs of fungus gnats. I didn’t mention that in hopes I wouldn’t jinx myself. But it has been a common side effect of organic growing for me since I started. They have arrived and are many already. So I mixed up a batch of mosquito bit tea and split it between the earthboxes. I also set out more sticky traps. The combination of the two always knocks the gnats back if not eradicating them. Plants are growing like weeds.

Lecter before bending her. She is looking great and really growing now since filling the Rez. Day 28

After

The boomstick is finally starting to grow up rather than out. One of the bushiest plants I’ve grown. Hoping she continues to get taller. I cut off a few fan leaves to expose more nodes. Day 25

Skoosh got a little fan leaf trim. Day 25

Mint jelly got a tie down as well. Very nice and open structure. Day 28

The tent. I tried to get a pic to show the height difference.

Happy growing!

Apologies for not updating sooner, the kid and puppy have kept me busy. Posting pics from today. Done some training and trimming. I really like how the boomstick is growing. Will update more soon. Also the tent has been running between 80-85 F most of this run. Hotter weather is coming and it’s too expensive to run the AC in the garage. Hope they will won’t stress too much.

Lecter. Stopped stretching, bit disappointed but still looking good. Day 37

Mint Jelly day 37

Boomstick my fav so far day 34

Skoosh, looking like a fast cultivar just like Sawney said. Day 34

Happy growing!

Apologies for the lack of posts just had a lot going on lately. My tent has been consistently 82-90 degrees F for the last couple weeks. Mostly in the upper 80s. Even though they have all stayed pretty squat, they look and smell great even with the high temps (highest I’ve ever had in my tent). I’ll need to get some extra CO2 going next summer.

Lecter is furthest along and though she’s one of the smallest plants, she is STACKING very nicely. Those colas are fat already. You definitely got some fast growing autos @Sawney_bean. I think I’ll get a good amount off her. Smells great and is sticky and frosty. Day 51

Mint Jelly. Biggest of the bunch. Still small for my standards. Stacking nicely and getting that nice minty essence to her that I love smoking. Guess it reminds of smoking menthols, though I haven’t done that for years. Day 51

Broomstick, looking nice and starting to stack. Day 48

Lastly little wee skoosh. This is definitely a quick auto and might finish before the lecter. She is stacking nicely. Day 48

Happy growing y’all!!!

Thanks 420. My garage is my happy place though it’s been wicked hot in there the last month.

Thanks Sawney, I’m really excited to try all 3 cultivars. They all look and smell great. Thanks again buddy. Some solid genetics, I just feel lucky to be able to grow them.

My pleasure to share mate.

You know where to come if you need any more or something different.

Forgot to say thanks for the reps from the last post @420autoflower also I’m having a hard time figuring out how to upload the trich pics I took today. The skoosh is almost all cloudy trichomes at day 54 but still putting out white pistils, I’m assuming heat stress but not sure. I was thinking she needed another week or two.

I’ll try to get the trichome pics up if I can. They won’t even appear when I choose to upload them. They are relatively small jpeg files, not sure why they won’t upload.

Lecter day 57, she is quite chunky but she had quite a few clear with some cloudy. Smells great and I love the trichomes coverage.

Boomstick at day 54, looks and smells great too. Has a nice sweet fuel scent.

Happy growing y’all!

Regarding your gnat problem, with the soil/media surface covered by black plastic, how do the insects get in and out of the soil/media? Are there other openings with the Boxes you're using?
