~ 3 weeks in!

[BagOnics]

First off I want to thank all of those who have given me some advice here on the message boards. I had 4 plants but I overfed them and 2 had to go into the trash :mad:

What I have been doing is giving the 2 plants left outdoor sunlight for about 7-8 hours and then bringing them in at night and putting the CF on them for the rest of the time. And since I have been doing that the plants have really seemed to flourish. The plants are about 3 weeks in (a little more) and I thought I would put up a pic of one of the plants. Maybe I could get a little feedback on them.

Thanks all and I will keep you posted if interested.

[BagOnics]

LOL thanks for all the comments much appreciated. I guess nothing said is better than someone posting my plant looks like crap. I guess it is doing well.

[BagOnics]

Newest pic of my best plant. Its up to 9" ("oh, you're way off). Sorry had to add my Rodney line. I am thinking of starting the flowering next week. Any thought? Probably not hehehe.

[bonbon]

Friendly lookin little plant there Bags,I hope its a girl....bonbon

[teresaj2k]

this is just me, but i might wait. post next week and we'll weigh in.

[BagOnics]

Thanks T2K. I am sure that is good advise since I am eager to get in going already lol. I will post another pic at the end of the week to see what you think.

[kramllehctim]

Looks great! Real stalky. Ya, I say start blooming if u want. Might as well make sure they are girls :) Good luck! (I'd use hydro if I were u) ;)

[teresaj2k]

yeah, i get antsy too. looking forward to seeing your babies :D

[BagOnics]

Here are the new pics. Let me know what you think (T2K)...dont mind the basil :o

[BagOnics]

I had just watered them a couple of hours before with a spray bottle and that causes the wilt. Normally they are all perked up toward the sky. Happy plants that are loving the outdoors. I have some other plants (northern lights) that are growing 2x as fast and are femanized supposedly. I dont know what to do with them because they are really growing at 2x the pace of the other ones I started. I really would prefer my porch not be a stink house lol. Do I just make them sex at a certain height so it doesnt become apparent. Because I think these guys might be big. The leaves are 2X the size of my biggest leaf on the plant shown and they are a week or so old. HELP!!!!

[teresaj2k]

flower those babies. they look happy and healthy. if they start getting too big i'd say prune 'em. if they stay in that planter they shouldn't get too big. but if you transplant to a bigger container they'll explode. happy growing! i might just post a pic of my babies for yall.

[BagOnics]

Whip those puppies out...there was no innuendo intended. Id love to see your plants! I am going to start the flowering process today. Bring them in to 12/12. I am sure I will be posting more pics. Lets just hope they are of cute little girls.

[BagOnics]

Hey T2K what do you mean by pruning them? Will that help promote bud development? Or should I just let it go. I dont fully understand the reason for pruning. Not only that I dont know the proper way to do so. I guess Ill go back to the book and read up on it. Your advice appreciated.

[teresaj2k]

http://www.overgrow.com/growfaq/t507 has some good info about pruning. i hope that helps!

[BagOnics]

WoooHoooo started the flowering process. I have 12 inch plant now! If (god willing) its a female what do you think the yield will be. I havent started flowering the others yet because they are only 5-6 inches in height. So NO I dont have all of my eggs in one basket. Boy do I love this forum.

[teresaj2k]

how many do you have? i have seven. although one of them is in bad health. about a week and a half ago it got sick and i thought it was dead but i nursed the little guy back to life. it's still pretty pathetic looking tho. if i can get 4 females out of them i'll be one happy camper.

[BagOnics]

I have 3 plants 5-6 inches and up and I have 6 others that are about 2 weeks since sprouting. But I have learned my lessons about over ferting and I should be pretty good with this new group. They are also in larger pots. Lets see the babies T2K

[teresaj2k]

as requested, a pic of one of my babies...and my crazy dog

i hope this works

[BagOnics]

That dog is so ugly you just have to love him. I love Bull Dogs. OK from the reading I have done I am still unsure of why I am pruning? Is it to increase node growth or to increase sunlight on the nodes? That plant looks like Northern Lights to me. Well, atleast that is exactly what my Northern Lights look like. Wooohoooo the plants are really starting to get big but hopefully not too big for my pot. 4 days in and no sign of sex. I will be sending pics!

[teresaj2k]

i know, isn't she ugly? it's a little girl. only 8 months old.
i have no idea what strain these plants are. they all came from the bottom of my various baggies. hell, they may all be different.

[kingcanabis]

ok this is a need to know... y are the end's of the leaf brown/yello like that? is it ok? on bag's plant that is..

[BagOnics]

That was because I over fertalized them. I basically chemically burned them.

[teresaj2k]

hey bag, how the babies doing?

[BagOnics]

Well I am about 1 week into flowering 2 of my plants. When should I expect to see signs of sex? The third pic is of my new batch of babies they are 2 1/2 weeks old. So what do you think? How is the big guy looking these days?

[magneslee]

looks great :)
can we get a close up of a node pls :)

[BagOnics]

Here are my node pics. I hope they are clear enough. Its only been about a week so I dont think its showing sex yet.

[teresaj2k]

yeah i can't see anything yet. a few more days and you should start to see something. i hope it's a female. when it does start showing and if it's female i'd cut out some of those fan leaves on the bottom half of the plant so the nodes can get more light. just don't cut too close to the stem. good luck! :)

[kramllehctim]

Bag-o,

Those plants look great, Mine r starting to flower too. Look up my pics.

KraMell :eek:

[BuShMaN]

:eek: nice ; ssssssssssss

[BagOnics]

This really hurt to prune my plant but I did it anyhow. T2K how did I do? I went with some before and after pics in a book I had and I followed to almost the same % in the book I just hope I didnt do too much. Let me know if it needs some clean up.

Bags Out!

[HillbillyG]

I started flowering my plant around that size and it worked. Just make sure the stem is strong enough or have some support like a stick or something. By the way it looks really nice I think I'll start to put mine out during the day to good idea man!!

[teresaj2k]

looks good to me. you did a good job. your baby looks nice and healthy.

p.s. i think i have the same miracle grow :p

[BagOnics]

LOL thats my low N grow formula...it doesnt burn lol. Did you see caddy shack? So I did a nice cleanup? First time grower here. I am just trying to follow instructions. By the waymy next crop is WAY ahead of schedule! They are growing 2x as fast as this group. They might get too big for my growing area...as far as smell. What should I do? Prune them train them or dump them?

[wraith28]

dam this is a confusing forum wit all the nods pruning sex? i didnt know plants had sex.... hmm i wanted to start my own just for a lil extra weed but i guess not maybe wen im older

[teresaj2k]

if by dump them you mean get rid of them no! why can't you have smell? unless you've got space issues i wouldn't train. i'v never seen caddy shack either. you did a good job, can we see your others?

[BagOnics]

I am charging my batteries up right now so Ill put up the pics tomorrow when they are happy in the sun. Yes I have smell issues! I live in an apartment complex. My neighbor that is next to me (that also shares the porch area) is doing construction on the home and wont be done until Sept October so I should be good until then. I am just worrried how strong the odor really is. As of now they have no smell what so ever (only if you hold it close to your noes). But I can only imagine how much it smells when it starts flowering. I guess I am just paranoid.

[teresaj2k]

i don't know what to tell you about the smell. i know i've never really had any issues with smell. i grew in the house when i lived with my mom once and she never smelled anything. looking forward to seeing the pics. for the time being here's a more recent pic of the plant i posted before. the first pic was taken on the 11th this one was the 17th. i'll post a new one tomorrow. i've topped them since this pic was taken and they've gotten much bigger. it's about time to transplant my babies.

[teresaj2k]

here you go bagonics, i did a little odor control research for you:

i hope that helps you some :D

[BagOnics]

Here are some pics of my second crop. As I told you before they are femanized Northern Lights. They are growing much more vigorously than my first batch. Enjoy!

[teresaj2k]

looking good

[BagOnics]

I am the proud father of a beautiful baby girl! I tried taking pictures but the hairs are too fine and small to come out on a photo. But I will put a few up anyhow. Now lets pray its not a Hermy! Question what would be the proper ~ time frame to cut hack that baby up? I am guessing another 4-5 weeks?

[KronicKing]

mmmm so yummie very nice first grow bags mine went horiblyhope that baby gives u an Oz or 3

pce 'n' gooood tokein'

[BagOnics]

Just updating some pics of my baby. Looks like she is going to have lots of bud sites. Thanks for all of the info. How far away from harvesting does she look?

[llamaman666]

when lookin at the nodes, they look like balls, males shoot up faster, but I'm nowhere nere certain, and I do hope I'm wrong.

[BagOnics]

Here are some better pics of my plant. I am pretty sure this is a girl. Your please let me know what you guys think because I have plenty of plants exposed to this sucker and I dont want them getting any polen.

[Supportradicalhabits]

nice plants!

[llamaman666]

nevermind, i was looking at earlier pics, sorry about confusing you, I was blazed off my ass then. But yea, those look like girls, your gunna have alot of weed with those and you NL. What strain is your big girls?

[BagOnics]

Here are my babys in my closet. I know the fluoros suck but just remember I put them outside during the day and bring them in when the night comes(I only use the fluoros about 2 hours out of the day). To be honest I have no idea what strain they are. I grabbed a bunch of my buddies seeds and wanted to give this a try(remember this is my first time. I dont even smoke all that often. Maybe once every 2 weeks. But lately more often than that because I am getting excited. I just topped my Northern Lights and they are responding well. Those suckers get big FAST!!!! I have not ferted my plants in over 2-3 weeks cuz I have chemically burned them way too much in fact killing 2 other plants because of it. Later my friends. Ill keep you posted!

[BagOnics]

From the looks of it if you have enough CF's they can actually work!! Im going MH next time and CF's for the first few weeks of veg! Anyone have a suggestion on when to harvest? Im thinking 25 days from now. I know it may be early but circumstances may force me to do so since I am forced to move. They have been flowering now for I am guessing 3 weeks.

[teresaj2k]

looking good babe. i can't wait for mine to flower :D i may top one more time before i force them. why do you have to move? i'm moving in september but my babies are coming with me ;)

[smoker x]

Friendly lookin little plant there Bags,I hope its a girl....bonbon



You da man

[kramllehctim]

Hey BagO!

I was looking at all ur plant pics & They don't branch out much except at the bottom huh? That's why I think u could give a good guess it's some good Afgan.

By the way, Harvest time has come for me. Me & My wife smoke a VERY sticky bowl last night. Skunk #1...... just like back in the 80's. We laughed until tears were streaming out of our eyes. It was well worth the wait. If those baby's are Afgan, you ought to have the same experience. LOL!

Later! :D :eek:

[BagOnics]

Hey MM maybe we should trade some seeds sometime. Let me know if its an idea you would like to follow up on. I dont know how we can do it privately but I am down for it.

[kramllehctim]

Ya, I'd do that but me & u exchanging info is DANGEROUS. I'm a paranoid M.F'er too. LOL! Both of our emails are blocked right now too (for a good reason) Yahoo! IM. add me :)
