my bagseed closet grow log

[mattbury]

alright its real late so ill keep it simple ill give my grow info and from seedling to now pics tomorrow.
Here is where the plant is at now. just over 2 weeks 12/12. the two main tops are stretching a bit mostly cause the plant was topped a little too close to when 12/12 started. it was a seedling outside in low light, then inside under 3 26w cfls
till december 5th. i said screw it and threw my 400w hps light in there. i need another fan that has a slower speed setting. hard to find this time of year locally damnit.
as for pix, i like playing with and trying to get the most out of a dated 2001 2megapixel fuji finepix camera....

[Perp]

Looks like a nice healthy plant. Keep us posted!

[mattbury]

hey everyone! got a little info and some pics of the earlier growth.
indoors under the 3 26watt cfls the 12th.
1st pic is from november 15th,.it had preflowers already becuase it was outside this time of year.
2nd pic is from the 21st. just before being topped.
3rd pic is from december 1st. been in 12/12 for a week
4th pic is from yesterday dec. 7th. just over 2week 12/12,most current pic.

sad to say but its in miracle grow soil. 1/4 part perilite. wish i hadnt been a lasy bastard and drove to the organic store in the city instead of going to the walmart locally.it got some super thrive during veg a couple times just to help it along. it gets a less than full strength dose of pure bloom pro bloom formula every watering and the plant loves it. havent had any ph problems and havent needed to adjust ph so far. temps with the cfls were great around 75. now with the 400w hps . not using a reflector btw cause of the heat trapping effect it has in a small space no frills setup. but the closet has white walls 3 feet apart so the light is somewhat confined. temps are in the low 80s. thanks for checkin it out suckas!

HI BURY
MONEY!!!!
very NICE

and I assume you are just using straight tap water? no pH.. no nutrients... just good ole MG?

cheers

[mattbury]

*** btw they went under the hps on the 5th. been indoors for 3 1/2 weeks now. all that growth and flowering in 3 1/2 weeks. thats alright with me!

[mattbury]

hey knowm, i am using RO water from nestle water bottles :D .

[Garden Knowm]

Thanks.. and NO nutrients.. just straight MG soil?

cheers

she looks GREAT!!

[mattbury]

it gets 1.5/4/5 Pure Blend Pro bloom every watering. just the mg soil and the p.b.p . later knowm

[mattbury]

2 1/2 weeks 12/12. the plant is now just over 17 inches tall. it grew 4 inches in less than a week. hopefully it tops out under 2 feet. im happy soo far. :D

[dutch.lover]

hey- i have four plants at the stage u are at right now! unfortunately i dont have any good pics of them up yet, but i will definitely be checking in here to see how urs are doing!

[50ul }{4ck3r]

Sexy Chick you got...yummy

[Garden Knowm]

??

cheers

:)

[mattbury]

hey knowm. ill get pics of the setup tomrrow hopefully. i dont have my camera today. aaarrrgg... they are just about at 3 weeks 12/12 now. some trichomes are starting to get their act together on the smaller leaves and definetly on the calyxes. no smell at all really. gnite

[mattbury]

well, i didnt get my camera back today! try for tomrrow!. trichomes are spreading out onto the small leaves in the last 2 nights!!!

[Garden Knowm]

: )

cheers

[TheGreenFog]

[mattbury]

new pics!!! 4 weeks 12/12. :stoned: its a 400w hps sylvania lumalux bulb with a sunlight supply ballast. bulb is 18 inches away from the 2 main branches.by the way the closet still has clothes hung in it and boxes laying around. Fully functional closet!

[mattbury]

...

[S.P.Q.R.]

Nice looking plant, man. :stoned:

[mattbury]

merry christmas. here just a quick couple pictures taken in the dark . 5 weeks 12/12. they have stop getting taller and are now fattening up.The smell is strong, unfortunatly like catpiss.
i'll have good pictures up later tonight. cya!

[Garden Knowm]

Your clothes are gonna smell like dank herb.. LOL..

thanx for the pics... :)

[mattbury]

~36 days 12/12 .

wassup knowm, lol. my clothes are probably about to start smelling kinda floral.
sorry bout not going thru flowering with just cfls. it was just too tempting to throw the 400w hps at it. they did go the first couple weeks in 12/12 under the cfls tho. ;) later

[DonJuan]

my money says thats N.L

[mattbury]

nope, i wish,but this was just from "mid-grade" bagseed. it had quite a strong buzz tho so none the less i will be satisfied with it. hoping for close to an ounce.

[invision]

is there no reflector for this light, also your plant seems 2 feet from the bulb id move her closer if possible.

[Kindbud]

nice bud sights man,those things are gettin huge ! Keep that 400watter on high power ,nice plants man !

[mattbury]

thanks kindbud

invision: i have a horizontal reflector but i dont use it cause of how much heat it traps. this grow setup is almost as simple as can be.there isnt an exhuast fan, but the door to the closet is always open atleast a couple inches when the lights on.temps still get up to 80-82, which is fine.
the plant tops are 18 inches from the bulb. i think im gonna raise the plant up a few more inches cause the temps seem to be under control now. thanks for the motivation, haha.

[mattbury]

~38 days 12/12. i flipped the boxes the plant is sitting on and got the plants up another 4 inches. the highest tops are around 14 inches from the bulb now. temp is around 82.

[mattbury]

few more :cool:

[invision]

nice plants, remeber to rotate your plants positions daily so each plants gets the same amount of light.

[TheGreenFog]

Looking EXCELLENT, Matt.

Keep it up! :greenthumb:

[mattbury]

either this is some nute burn or a deficiency.. who knows???

[mattbury]

if this is a ph problem does the ph need to go up or down in this case?

[Garden Knowm]

hey burry...

what is the pH of the water you use?
are the tips of the leaves burnt?

cheers

[mattbury]

hey knowm,
i dont have any ph tester so no ph testing has been done. guess this grow has been a little too low budget now i run into a ph problem and i dont have a tester. grrr now i did have the container sitting flat on the plate and some water would sit in between the two. the soil take 5-7 days to be dry out to where it needs water again. i rigged it up last night on a peice of plastic so it sits off of the plate itself and i cut about 10 holes more holes in the bottom and the edges. im guessing there is a nute lockout going on from a high or low ph??!?!?!?! dahhh only about 2 weeks left till this thing is ready for the chop too. please help :( tell me if i need to buy some lime or some white vinegar or something

[Garden Knowm]

YOOOOOO BURRY - happy new year BROTHER!!!!

If the pH is off.. it is probably to high.. and it requires very very little vingar to lower the pH..

If you are not going to get a pH tester in the future.. you can just shorten your plants life by flowering earlier.. (less vegging)

Your water mixed with your soil has taken "this long" to bother your plant... so, in theory if the plant was already done (harvested) you would never have had a problem...

If you are going to attempt to lower the pH (without a tester - which is pretty nutty!) :) .. use 2-6 drops of vinegar for every gallon of water...

lovelovelove

[mattbury]

Happy New Year knowm !! hope ya had a good one.

one thing i did do was add a inch or 2 of soil/perilite ontop of how much i had in there to fill up the container more. i think that was roughly a week before the problem started. dang it! the soil is the same as the rest but this soil was sitting outside in a container. i flushed water thru it and only used what was just below the top. im sure it had a different p.h. especially with no roots growing in it.

later, matt

[mattbury]

~day43 12/12

[mattbury]

a few more. the flash and angles makes the leaves look alot healthier than they really are. under the hps and from the top the plant looks pretty bad.

i meant to say"the flash makes the "affected" leaves look healthier than they really are."

[mattbury]

day 47 12/12 ..still probably 10 days till chop. ill have pics up later tonight. its just getting tap water now till the end. . ughh, the wait!

here is a sampler lower bud i oven dried. gave me a nice buzz for about 30-45 min

[invision]

go get some distilled water and a pan big enough to fit the whole pot in easily, i find a boiling pan works good, buy enough water to fill the pan up to the plants rim.

let the plant soak in the water for 20min, then pull her out and let her drain, your water should be a yellow color, this is salt and mineral build up, while it mauy not completely fix your PH, it will put it back in check to finish her up.

she may look like crap with droopy leaves after you flush her like this, but she will recover in just 1-2 days and continue to flower.

[mr_vega]

how tall is the plant now?

[mattbury]

invision. i think thats kinda drastic when i could just cut most of the bottom of the container and run a gallon or so thru it while it sits in the sink. i definetly dont have a massive pan boiling pan to put it in. appreciate the idea man.

mr vega, i just measured for yah. just under 20 inches . soo under 2 ft tall and should get me an ounce. im soo happy it stayed fairly compact.

pics to come in a lil while after i eat this pizza and stuff :stoned:

[mattbury]

day 47 12/12 .. looks like it could go to 60 days.

[mattbury]

few more..... ;)

[invision]

it is a last resort flush, only do it if she gets real bad but it does work and works real good too, i flush like this before harvest to get rid of anything in the soil and never killed a plant.

you could simply just pour a gallon or 2 through her as well to flush out the excess. either way she really dont look bad at all.

[Garden Knowm]

how was the sample smoke you picked?

:)

[mattbury]

it was interesting... :D definetly had a more sativa buzz.had the alert cerebral feeling. quite strong actually. the few samples i took were from the lowest branches that werent getting much light.

[mattbury]

~day 50 12/12 getting close!!! i had another sample :stoned: the first picture is the 4th bud sample ive had. itll be the last one till harvest. definetly my brother and i high as a kite. it felt like an inhalant high. very sativa.the body stone feeling seemed mild compared to the cerebral effect. very stimulating

[mattbury]

more pics! day 50 :jointsmile: what do yall think. all comment or questions welcome

[4x5]

I'd stake them so they don't break while being moved around, I know mine need it.

They look pretty nice, good job

[invision]

did you start to flush out the nutes yet?? if not now is the time

[mattbury]

oh yeh, they got flushed several days ago and then the other day. probably once more before harvest also.

they do look like they need to be staked but this damn plant is sturdy!!! if they were gonna snap off they would have already done it. they have some nice "muscles" at the internodes to keep them from snapping.

chopping time:next week :) thanks for the replies

[Garden Knowm]

puff puff... give give... lol

[mattbury]

day ~53 flowering..... the calyxes are swelled up pretty good now and the glands are fairly cloudy. thinkin about chopping it tomorrow. what would ya'll do?

[Garden Knowm]

Id wait a couple days, looks great it will be some bomb shitt!

yeah what he said!!!

[mattbury]

please help! Donate and help these baby's grow | (http://www.freewebs.com/donsmokin84/)

day 56 12/12 now . giving her 1 more day i think. first pic is of a bud im going to share with my buddy before he goes off to cali. peace

[mattbury]

heres a few shots thru a magnifying glass to get a little closer.

[faithlessxxx]

Too early IMO. Another 2-5 days.

[mattbury]

yeh, i was hoping it would be done by now day 57 buuut i see no amber yet. so its going till friday. thanks for the replies.

[mattbury]

she's cut! ~day 60 12/12. well i figured she was far enuf along and i chop the lil lady to peices. i didnt get to weigh out the whole plants wet weight, but the two main colas were over 2 1/2 ounces together. im pretty happy with how it turned out for some bagseed.now its time for a week or hanging to dry and then it goes in a jar. cheers everbody !

[mattbury]

harvest continued.....

[mattbury]

dah wrong pics there, stupid 5 minute rule got me again! ........ continued.......

[mattbury]

last for now.... i just fired up an oven sample and im flyin high. some trippy ass pot.

[mattbury]

bump^

[Jedi Hash]

Nice work, man! Enjoy...:jointsmile:

[faithlessxxx]

Lovely ;)

[mattbury]

its dried after 5 days hanging in the box.weighed 1 1/4o,around 34 grams. now its gonna sit in a jar for awhile. definetly mostly sativa. the high:after a couple hits a warm buzzy feeling inside, notice eyelids started to get heavy,several more hits, then a very strong warm euphoric feeling,floating,was quite clear headed tho. visual effects as i was watching the tv i swear i was seeing split second frames inbetween takes almost black and white and when there was a glitch on the channel or those waves going across the tv,it was all very psychedelic. im more of an indica fan but sativas can be such a wild ride. :stoned:
later,the bury

[Von]

before and during harvest, how did u deal with the smell?

[Garden Knowm]

CONGRATULATIONS!!

[mattbury]

CONGRATULATIONS!!

haha, thanks knowm :jointsmile: .i appreciate your advice and comments you gave me for this grow.ill smoke one for yah.

Von, the smell from this plant wasnt bad. kinda had a catpiss smell and im sure the smelly organic pbp juice made some of the smell.the average person wouldnt think the smell would be pot. when it was drying it wasnt much stronger, right now the buds have a strong lemon pine sol smell. maybe it will get sweeter once it cures for a while. i hope.
:jointsmile:
later , the bury
