Guest milo Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 That is a beautiful pic!! @Tonygreen!! Link to comment
Tynehead Tom Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 wow i like that .... and thanx for throwing up a BX2 thread Tony, mine are going into flower in days. my fifth seedling.... the slow ass runty little thing..... well, recently smokin joe had posted reminding me again that good things can come from the runts so I left it be in the 1 gallon pot under the 400halide. Very slow to take up water up untill now, I'd guess about 6 or 7 weeks now from seed. I went hunting for a week an lo and behold I come back and it looks like a plant now and has some pretty neat leaves going on. will drop some fresh pics tonight Link to comment
Tonygreen Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 The runts can pick up speed once they hit the teens and do better from cut. Can't wait to see what you find. Just seeing bx 3s in veg atm. Link to comment
Tynehead Tom Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 this one has very wavy full size leaves now and starting to develop well at the nodes. The top is also starting to show very nice vigor so I'm really glad I gave it the time you guys suggested. More and more I'm believing that the crappy results i was seeing last round in the first 6 beans i tried, was all due to a heavy infestation of thrips. My previous remedies were simply not killing the root zone cycle. Got spinosad and ever since.... boom! I am seeing the kind of plants i keep seeing pics of haha. Link to comment
Tonygreen Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Dude thrips will fuck you up a lot of people dont even know ha! Id have to dig through the Gb thread but you can see what they do to seedlings lol... Link to comment
Tynehead Tom Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I was seeing 5 to 7 thrips on average per mature leaf throughout the garden that round in mid flower..... was cause for a tear down Link to comment
Tonygreen Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 I just spinosad in veg now just to be sure since all the dirt i get around here is always full of em. And I also heat treat the room hard after every flower and the rooted clones before i start the big veg. Link to comment
Guest hicksticky Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Gotta agree about seeing the runts through. ... gotten some great plants from a lil patients.. got a sour dubb s2 and 2 of GB bx2 seemed runt-ish but once the teens hit they took off.. both are females... ones got the big twisted leaves very reminiscent of the gg4 and the other a sb lemon/lime pheno. All seating in my new breeding cab.... two 55 gallon totes, 6- 14w leds... 12v 4" pc fans blowing out and around. Just finished harvest of a Gorilla bubble bx2 male.... great all around stud, had a nice heavy narco smell which got louder as he flowered along with large tight flower formations. .... even frosted up a bit. Got a large yeild from him considered he flowered under one 14w led. Got some ideas on who he's gonna knock up.....making a few... Gb bx2 f2's. ... and Strawberry cough x GB bx2... Strawberry Bubble ...Oh yeah! I'll get some new pics of the 3 females this wk end along with some of the veg pics posted now that there's a GB bx2 thread. Link to comment
Tonygreen Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Oh yeah the strawberry will be great to see! Wanted to hit the bruce banner or some other strawbs with a gb sometime but never got around to it yet. show em if ya got em! Slick set up! People would be surprised how much pollen can come off low watts ha. Link to comment
Tonygreen Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Ray098's bx2 vegging away in some buckets. Buckets seem to trigger her root builder trait even more and they seem to take longer to hit that sweet spot we talk about where they explode. It's like they like it so much they build roots even longer before going ha. Bx2 bout two months old he says... Link to comment
Tonygreen Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Guys, like I tell everyone to top em young also in veg trim off them big ass fan leaves they will repsond just as good as topping. I top once or twice then bend and trim leaves, prefer it to topping. As mentioned in Hicks thread, a good lollipop about a week to ten days before flip and taking at least the bottom half off will give ya some nice big colas. Even a bit more if you're not scared ha! Also keep the micros high in veg or you will pay for it in the stretch with an early fade! Link to comment
Tynehead Tom Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 here's mine, last one was the runt but has doubled in size in a week LOL Still in 1 gallons but these are going to get up potted any day now. Was gonna try topping these but might not, I really don't like topping plants, they get all wierd and gangly on me but picking fans to encourage branching i can do these are just hitting near the 2 month mark now that i look at my calendar but vegging under 128watts T8's. The runt is the last pic.... not so runty no mo Link to comment

Not sure about the runt. I am going to top that one I think and just let it veg to a decent bush before i do anything with it. I'm growing rather fond of it Link to comment

Ganja Ken Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi Tony, I was lucky enough to grab your last pack of GB bx2 on seedbay. I can't wait, super stoked! Everything I have heard and read speaks volumes of your work. Firstly, I am new to GG#4 so wondering how to distinguish the glue leaners. I was also able to pick up some Banner BX2 beans and would like to attempt that cross you speak of. My question on that is which to use as the male when I get there. Cheers, Ken Link to comment
Tonygreen Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 youll know em by them being taller, longer internodes, youll see a difference in sprouts from seed, single or no petiole leaf onthe hardest glue leaners, lesf twist etc. It will be obvious to you from sprout pretty much.

Tynehead Tom Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I cut 4 clones of each of my 4 gb bx2 the other day , no roots yet but as soon as I get one of each rooted it's off to the bud room in #5 pots for the seed plants. Still only one confirmed female though there is signs at the nodes on the other 3 that appear maybe female , just no female hairs yet. i've been fooled before so till i see a calyx with hairs..... they remain "it's" LOL very funky complex stem rubs on a couple of them, very nice.
