Lights are nicely set up, blurple is gone, and youre dealing with some good lights and great genetics. Sprouts are good, countdown is on.... if all goes smoothly (and it will) you will have a harvest in 90 days or less Good, clean set up, keep it that way. I recommend switching your fan to push air out of the tent rather than pull air from it. I suggest mounting the fan to the filter, and exhausting straight out to increase efficiency and more easily manage temps and humidity once the plants start transpiring. Looks great man, keep it up. Less is more at this stage - NO NUTES TILL ROOTS (a small dose of cal-mag is good though starting from first feed in coco) Dont let those buckets dry out. Need to water at least 2x per day especially when they start drinking.

They are chugging along, and healthy looking. Thats what's important at this stage. Especially important for autos. Autos have a predetermined time from when they break the soil to when they start to flower. The bigger and beastlier they are when they get to day 1 of flower, the bigger and beastlier the final yield. It is your sole responsibility as a grower to give them the environment they can thrive in. Please look at and follow @dabbystickyfingers . His latest auto grow is a perfectly detailed example of what to do with autos specifically. He is a few weeks into flower and is killin it Great week, keep em green EDIT: Not a huge deal because you hand water, but as a matter of good practice, no cords below the water line. You should take em off the floor

Explosive growth on its way, in fact youre in the midst of it. Keep it up, keep the plants healthy, you have everything in place to enjoy a bountiful and rewarding harvest. Please note: the other plant in your tent is listed as a Sour Diesel. Do you know if it is a photoperiod plant or an autoflowering plant? Because the BudXs2's are autoflowering, meaning they will need 20 hours of light per day. Your other plant if it is a photoperiod, will require a switch to 12/12 to induce flowering. These two light schedules obviously dont work together. Lets chat about it.

You are doing a great job, your LST looks bang on. I would consider limiting future LST on the BudXs2 autos. Only because these are an XL auto, you really wanna see the long lanky branches, its ideal for the strain. I like your drainage trays and I like the clean, slick look of the tent. You sure do have a lot of fans in there!. I would lose 2 of the top, even all 3. Why? You want your fresh air flow to enter the bottom of the tent swirl around from the ground fan, hit the stomata under the leaves, raise naturally due to heat, and be sucked out your filter at the top of the tent. You really only need a ceiling mounted fan if your light gets hot and needs some relief. Im not sure thats the case for you. Now. YOU need to make a choice. Forget what @Shagrath said in chat about growing autos under 12/12. You do that shit with Shaggys autos, not BudXs2. These cultivars get 18 hours min, 20 for ideal, 23 if you a playa. I know already that you will start seeing flower at day 35 and you will yield 14.5 or more ounces between the 3 BudXs2in your setup. I would do this - Continue to grow under 20 hours until the autos finish. In that time, the photo will continue to veg. You can keep this as the mother to grow alongside your flowering autos. All the while you are mastering your LST, HST, Toppings, fimmings, and taking and rooting of clones. We will time it so that you have an army of genetic twins for your next run. The day the autos come out, we throw in 36 perfectly rooted, same sized clones in 1 gallon pots, ready to go into a SOG flower right away. Boom - now you are perpetual. Lets chat about it

The picture you emailed my earlier was a pistil emerging. It is the sign that your plant is a female and that BudXs is not a clown. These autos are right on time. These are XL versions of a secret recipe, so keep in mind that they will shoot to the stars over this next week. This strain requires very little defoliation, so if you wanna practice your HST, do it on the photo. Great colors, good health, good canopy and light distribution. You can put the light down a bit if you want, but pay attention to the result, and make sure the edges of your tent are getting adequate light. You can download a simple PAR meter on your phone to give you an idea of the light intensity in each sector of your garden. You will enjoy this strain, just gotta wait another 60 days

They look great. The twisting you see is genetic, it is a result of the super fast stretch this cultivar experiences. I saw it first hand in my garden as well. This genetic is also prone to wilting in low RH, but you are not seeing that. You are doing awesome and the halfway mark is here. You will certainly chop these at day 100 to fabulous results. Keep doing what you are doing. If you see discoloring with that twisting, we have a nute feeding issue, a surplus, not a deficiency. But ya look great!!!

You have asked the right questions in the communities that you frequent, and you have responded to advice the way you should be - with a grain of salt and with your own research and trial and error. You are well on your way to becoming a pro, and ready to teach others your self. Rock on my man

This tent continues to impress. The XL's are really starting to stand out and take over the tent. This is a good lesson in auto seed buying and planning your grow. A regular auto will tend to stay short and bushy. An XL will grow tall. Which one will yield more???? Thats subjective. Which one will have less issues with humidity and bud rot? Certainly the xl. IT is my preference, hence why the trait is bred into BudXs2. You will get a kick out of how potent this flower is. Lets see some close up crystal shots next week, see if you can get a few natural daytime light photos:)

Quite literally towering over the other plant, wonder if you can get any more head space? So long as the plants are not burning, they can continue to touch the light. However, with the 4 weeks of flower you still have remaining, I would suggest you do some supercropping at the tops. The stretch is over, you bend em, they will stack. These XLs are not like many of todays fast finishing autos. These take time, and the wait is totally worth it. You will see some colors start to form, and this will be downright stanky nug!!! Keep up the great work, PS, your set up is clean as fuck, and your results will be insane

The Mars Hydro light is living up to its hype and giving you some great results. You look to have about 4 weeks left till prime harvest. Make sure to keep an eye on the trichs and do not chop too early!! The best is yet to come. The leaves on the BudXs2 will begin to yellow faster than other 100 day auto strains, this is normal and not something that you are doing wrong. The nitrogen depletes heavily in this cultivar. Keep up the great work

You are really doing a great job and the tent continues to look sleek and clean. Your equipment management is bang on, and it seems like your environment is in check. You are on the last 2.5 weeks, finish strong. I know these autos take a while, but the yield and dank is worth the wait.

Buds look poppin, those purps are just bursting out. By now your tent should just reek. This strain is quite aromatic and trust me, will be a very heavy hitter. Great work thus far, looking forward to the chop and yield!!! Any guesses as to what your 3 autos will yield? I do!!!!

Im sure this is what you are saying. Its been a long journey, and typically autos will finish sooner. But this is an XL version as you can tell by their monstrous size. You will have a lot of bud, however you will have a lot of larf due to the penetration shortcomings of LED vs HPS, tit for tat. This will be a pleasure of a smoke, and well worth the wait I promise. Continue your excellence through the grow, I really look forward to your harvest

BudXs has done it again. Huge lanky colas on this super XL auto. Took longer than most, but the harvest is a plenty and the buds stank of deep, rich mahogany and baby food. Would recommend to my friends 100%, but wouldn't tell too many people, because I would want this to be our little secret. This smoke makes you forget your inhibitions, and is a real pleasure to enjoy in the company of rainbows. Double perfect rainbow. You really want to watch White Men Cant Jump whilst smoking this cultivar, but I will warn you, the part where Rosie Perez leaves Woody Harrelson is sad, you may want to skip it, as this plant weighs heavy on the old emotions. Marley and Me is out too. (Hint: The dog dies)
