firts grow

my first grow from bagseed. two weeks into flowering but with no sex signs yet... still patiently waiting.. this is just a test run before i get my real seeds... any advice or insults:p welcome

ohh yeah i guess i over nuted a little bit but i flushed immediatly and cut back on the nutes and they look fine again.. i also topped it accidentally after its 3rd node but seems ok

thanks for everything!

ohh yeah i 4got to mention that its only like 5 and a half weeks old... and only growing under a daylight 42 watt cfl @ 6500 kelvin and a soft 50 watter thats at 3500 kelvin both with shop light reflectors..

Hey notorious, it looks fine, give it a day or 2 and it should green up again. It looks like a very nice trained plant, hope it comes out female mate.

thanx trivium im hoping its a girl too :D

im pretty sure that its a girl now because i saw a couple white hairs(almost clear) coming out of near the nodes... i just hope its not a hermie...
about how much bud do you think i can expect from this? i know i started the flowering phase pretty early... and since i expected it to be a male .. any bud will be good enough... i cant get a close up of the hairs cuz my cam sux.. its day 39 flowering 17 from seed
thanx everyone

Yay, so shes a female. Gonna be a good yield notorious

thanx trivium you seem to be the only one interested in my posts so thanx alot... but i do have a pretty simple question... what type of plant is that... not the exact strain but, if it is indica dominant or sativa.. thanx again trivium for ur interest

Notorious, i like the way you LST your plant, on my next grow(2nd grow) i will be doing a lot of LST and topping, hope it turns out looking like yours. Good luck

thanx keeko, well i kinda topped it by accident i was bending the stems and twisting them to stregthen them up and it snapped off... but it seemed to work out better that way... and reading these forums gave me the idea to lst which also worked pretty good.. thanx for ur comment man and good luck with ur second grow!!:rasta:
~notorious

Congrats on your firts grow. I've had snapping issues on both of my grows, it happens. Looking good!:thumbsup:

haha yeah i guess i was just soo excited that i mis-spelled "first".. yeah i read ur entire 1st grow log under mrabrego.. very inspiring.. thanx for the comment
~notorious

does anyone know if thats a sativa or an indica dominant plant... im a noob to this so i really have no clue.. although im leaning towards indica because of the leaves... soo please.. any info would be greatly appreciated!!

can anybody verify if this plant is actually a female from these pictures? im thinking that they are but, the help from pro's of the subject would be very conforting :D ... any info is greatly appreciated
thanx all
~notorious~

Second picture is a female.

thanx login, they are all of the same plant i was just trying to get a couple views but thanx for the good news:dance:

well i was gone for the weekend but wen i came back there was alot more hairs..:thumbsup: but i figured maybe some people may wanna see the progress.. especially the forming of the buds :rasta: .. advice and criticism welcome...
thanx alot everyone
~Notorious~

yeah a bunch more hairs are exploding outta everywhere.. day 23 of 12/12.. i thought id be further along then this???
well for next grow i plan on getting this http://www.specialty-lights.com/100030.html.
what do you think of it???. (keep it mind it's only for two plants so i dont need a 400)...
should i get a conversion bulb or just suppliment the hps with cfl's for vegging???
any info is, as always greatly appreciated. thanx all

Looks good, I hope outta the 5 plants from bagseed I have growing I get atleast 2 females.

hey i hope that 5 out of ur 5 are females... but thanx for the comment and good luck with ur grow!

should my plant have more going on then just all these white hairs... im into the 4th week of flowering and i can only see a little tiny bud starting to form.. i thought that there would atleast be some decent sized buds by now....is there something wrong or am i just being impatient??

patience, patience, patience. some take up to ninety days to finish, some sixty, some even less, its all strain dependent. Clones dont take as long, but its still a long process. your still looking good.:thumbsup:

ok well thats good to know .. i thought i just had a retarted plant.. thanx cactus!

It could also need more lumens(lights) or like Cactus said, it could be the strain of the plant and it might require a longer flowering time.

Are you giving it any Nutes for the flowering stage?

yeah the nutes im giving it are miracle grow tomato food which is 18-18-21..at half strength on every third feeding... like water- water- nutes-water -water........ but should i get something higher in k and p and lower in n or is this fine?

If you are in flowering stage you should get new nutes just for blooming which is higher in Potassium or whatever. Walmart has sum for about $5, but I do have to say that your plant looks healthy. It is a sativa right? Is this Ur first bagseed grow and you got a female right away? I have been reading and asking alot of questions and people seem to answer them if you ask the question in the right way. I had 2 plants from bag seed and they were in the 2 wk of flowering and I discover pollen sacks developing so I cut um down and dried them out. Smoke it if you got it. I got 5 more going right now in veg.

I had a sativa dominant bagseed that took 10 full weeks to flower, it didn't fatten up till week 9. Your plant looks good!

yeah this is my first grow all together...and yes lu ckily my first plant was a female.... but i ordered some seeds (ice,chrystal,silver pearl, sweet tooth) and i wanted to experement with bagseed that i had laying around so i can make my mistakes on sumthing that doesnt matter that much to me.. and when i get those seeds going im gonna have a little veg chamber with cfl's and a flowering closet with a 250 watt hps. but thanx for the nute info weed4life.... and thanx for the comment 4x5!

soo you guys are saying that it looks like a sativa? i have no clue i have asked a couple of times but no one has answered me...

Yeah it looks that way.mine looked the same. I am doing the same as u just experimenting with bagseed till i can grow in the environment i want with the right seeds also.

tru that.. it makes alot more sense messing up on a bagseed rather then sum crazy stuff..although the bag this came from was really heavily covered in crystals and got me really f&%#* blazed!

i picked up another cfl and sum new nutes today! now i got two 42 watt softs @2700 and one 30 watt daylight @6500... and the nutes i just got are bloom boost stuff with 10-52-10 (is this ok for flowering??) from waly world like a couple people suggested.. thanx everyone for your help its keeping my lil girl alive and kicking!!
~Notorious

just some more pics of the buds forming! man its a great feeling!:D its much darker green then the photos show because of the flash and the cfls... and the pics arent as clear without the flash... soo enjoy!
thanx all for the help!!
~Notorious:rasta:

first three pics are of a happy plant thats gonna make me happy! :D next two pics are of sad leaves on the happy plant... can anyone tell me what could be the cause of the discoloration of these leaves?? its starting to worry me a little bit:( p.ss its only on the lower half of the plant which doesnt get much light so im wondering if thats the problem

hey notorious, just a thought, but if you added maybe two more cfls at the bottom of your plant you could get better light coverage/better yeild.....that is if you can take a little more heat and have the space for it....good luck and great grow

yeah i would get some more lights but this is gonna be the only grow where i am gonna use cfl's to flower... after this i will be picking up a 250 hps and vegging with daylight cfls... but thanx for the info and the compliment man
~Notorious

im far from being an expert, but on the 5th pic, maybe you accidentally got some nute water on your leaves? Also wanted to say, very nice plant. I too am getting ready for my first grow using bagseed first as practice and mostly CFL lights.

hey thanx for stopping by L3G1ON ... i never thought about that.. thats a deffinate possibility... i had no clue it could do that though... thanx for the input!! i will be more careful feeding her next time... and best of luck on your grow!!!
~Notorious

No problem, yes i have seen pictures of peoples plants after they spilled some nutes on the leaves and it looked very similar to yours. Maybe you could give me pointers and stuff that you did because, for a first plant it looks real fine :D. :thumbsup:

sure i will deff give you some pointers and what i did although some of what i did is probably frowned upon..
1st- i germinated her right in a jiffy puck soaked in distilled water..
after her roots started coming through the bottom i put her in a 5 inch pot.

2nd- on her fourth node i broke it off by accident.. ( i was trying to bend and twist to strenghten her up) but it worked just as well as topping..

3rd- when the new growth started getting bigger i tied it down.( it was only 2 at first) then the other nodes got more light and two more big branches started formingso i tied them down also.. i also moved her into her 10" pot after i felt she was big enough to move..

4th- right after her fourth node incedent i began feeding her.. i used 21-18-18 food and she started to take off.. after 3 weeks of vegging.. i noticed she had alternating nodes so i began to flower her with another food which was 18-18- 21( i thought that would work) but i got advice from other people on this forum and they said i needed something with a higher k value.. so in the last two weeks i have been using 10-52-10 bloom burst food. and i have always used half stregth nutes as of this point.. and that shoud bring you up to date...but if you have any more questions ill try to answer them as best as i can
~Notorious

how long of a time period did you wait before using the 21-18-18? I hear about 3 weeks into veg is when to start nutes, is this right?
