First Grow, Bag Seed

[johnny h]

Hi Everyone, this is a continuation of an original thread in basic growing. http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=71443

My girl is close to 3 weeks into 12/12, being raised under a 175watt MH freebie and a couple of red spectrum 42watt CFL's. Been watered with well water, PH'd with superthrive added every time, bone meal in the soil, 30% perlite and a couple of feedings of fish emulsion. Last picture is my home made carbon scrubber and the clone I took from this plant just for practice, all rooted and growing good now! I wonder how much taller she'll get... Comments and suggestions appreciated!

Well Johnny,

I don't care what anyone says your plant is looking good. I'm always growing bag seeds and $$$seeds and your plant looks very health.

As far as how tall she will get under a 175MH with six or seven more weeks remaining of flowering? I couldn't say, my bag seed ones reach anywhere from four to seven feet tall but thats with 1400watts of hps. As far as suggestions remember more fresh air and more light always equal more buds.

The stuff around them bag seeds was good enough to smoke the first time right? They're looking good so far.:thumbsup:

Do you by any chance have access to an HPS conversion bulb. It'll screw into you metal halide lamp, but give you much more of the red for flowering. And remember what loco said "more light always equal more buds".

Well, I had a surprise in the mail today, my seed boutique order arrived, with Ak48 and NLxShiva and the freebie pack of Durban Poison x Skunk#1...so I think Im going to be ordering a 250watt hps ballast to finnish this plant off and maybe start a second smaller grow room and get an early start with my next set of plants with the bankseed. I was leaning towards getting a conversion bulb, but I figure the extra wattage should help and it gives me an extra ballast. She's had a large fan on her for her entire life, I also twist the stems.

The mid-grade she came from seemed great, however, I never smoked it, only ate it. It was cooked an 1/8 at a time into cookies... Oddly enough, with how Sativa'ish the leaves look, it has more of a body high then head high. Knocked me on my butt.. Im finding the same with the few leaves that I've collected that have fallen off, and from the Honey Oil I made from her three brothers. Thanks for the comments.

Is that garbage can with the fan a bud dryer?

looking good jonny . doesnt matter its bag seed .its all about the fun andTHE END RESULT JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND enjoy.the postman.

[johnny h]

Thanks postman. I'm really enjoying growing, cant wait to start the ak and NL!

and LorDInfamous, no thats my carbon scrubber. I guess one could hang bud inside the can from the fan though since its blowing air in and it would filter all the smell out..hmmmmmmm :P

[trupothead420]

Johnny H man i would fork out the extra dough an buy a 400w some where plants would be alot better with that.

Update! Well, I had a hunch she had a Mg defficiency, so I figured it would do little harm to throw in some epsom salt once..and I think that fixed her wagon. The leaves aren't curling at the ends anymore(they were almost forming tunnels) and she seems much happier since that watering. She wont be getting any nutes for awhile though I dont think. She looks pretty dark.. Happy trails.
