1st Go-Round - CFL's and Bagseed

[trinitybound]

If your having problems with temps you could try a bathroom fan. I have a small one on my cab I think it's 50cfm, and my cab has similar dimensions to yours. At lowes they have them for about $15 but you might want to put a ceiling fan dimmer on it so it doesn't run full blast these things can move some air.

I googled it Broan at Lowe's: 50 CFM Bath Fan

Thanks for the suggestion trinity, definitely something to check out next trip to the hardware store

Well, the hits keep on coming. Both plants appear to have turned hermie, and are cranking out the seeds. At this point it's looking like light leaks that did it, either due to its covering coming undone or inadequate caulking on one of the corners. Changes will have to be made. Either way, pictures when the lights come back on tonight.

On the bright side, thanks to the generosity of a fellow southern grower there is now a Sensi Star clone attempting to root underneath a humidity dome over in the Veg box. This being the first clone this grower has ever experimented with, hopefully all will go well. If not, fortune may smile upon us once again in the form of a rooted Sensi Star or Bubblegum clone.

Another week, another update. Cut off nutes for the balding girl. The 2nd, more leafy plant still appears several weeks away from finishing.

A few pics of the once dainty 2nd female. While the plant is bushing out, it also shows some rather strange growth.

Hey man i'm also growing with CFLs and bag seed. I hope all goes well and such

[RamblerGambler]

Hopefully they'll finish sometime in the next few weeks, it being about week 7 or so.

BigLeague, amazing how many cfl logs there are these days. How far along are you?

[RamblerGambler]

Do to the amazing number of CFL logs and the apparent dwindling interest of others in my own log, updates have not been as regular as they should be. Maybe the next grow will garner more interest. One can hope... But until then I'll attempt to keep documenting for learning purposes.

Week 8 Update
Flushed both plants - something that has not been done at any point during the grow. After an earlier post bemoaning the plants going herm, it would seem that I overreacted. Rather than being packed full of seeds, only a handful are now present on both plants, leading this inexperienced grower to believe that most of what I believed to be "seeds" in fact weren't.

Obamanation! (Plant A) - The more developed of the two girls is looking like harvest is almost at hand. Nutrients have been cut for a couple weeks now, leaving her on a steady diet of water and molasses. Needless to say, the nugs have been doing their best to fatten up, and they're starting to look so goddamn shiny I can barely look at it. I joke, but I'm simply floored that bagseed would turn out so well. After experiencing a rather strange purpling of several of her sugar leaves, she continues to slowly shed her yellowing leaves. I'll need to invest in a better magnifying glass from radioshack, as the ones that I have are not up to the task of identifying trichome development.

Plant B - The straggling runt of first grow, she's finally starting to sprout pistils like crazy. About damn time if you ask me. The nugs on this plant appear to be thicker and more well formed then Obamanation!, but this is often obstructed by the thick canopy of leaves unique to Plant B. Nutes are up to full strength, but sadly she's looking like she's trying her hardest to be an 11 week plant.


Pic 1 & 2 - Obamanation! in all her glory. Can't wait to cut her down...

Pic 4 - Conjoined nugs that have suddenly decided to separate. This bears observation as the stem continues to split.
