Bagseed Grow (w/ pics)
    #5864441 - 07/16/06 05:59 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Well I started a little MJ grow back on 6/21 and figured I'd share the growth and get some info at the same time since this is my first grow. Plus its nice to be able to show off the grow anonymously.

I originally germinated about 30 bagseeds(from commercial weed) between 2 wet paper towels and then I transferred the first 10 to open and 10 that hadn't yet popped into small peat pots w/ Miracle-Gro potting soil( I know its not the best, but didn't at the time). I used a 25W CFL and 10 of the seeds sprouted quickly, but I had to leave town that weekend and neglected to put any type of humidity container over the seedlings. When I returned I had 9 crispy, and very dead, little plants, and 1 that was slightly droopy but still alive. I gave it a watering and within a day it looked good again. I put a few more ungerminated seeds into peat pots with the same soil and luckily one of these shot up quick.

On 6/26, I believe, I transplanted the older seedling into a larger pot, I think its 3 gallons, with about 7 quarts of Miracle-Gro potting soil and I transplanted the younger seedling to a medium sized plastic cup w/ holes in the bottom. Since then they've both been on a 18/6 light cylce with 2 ~25 Watt daylight CFLs in a reflective shoplight type fixture. The older plant took off and since the early mishap has recovered very well and is looking quite nice. I transplanted the younger plant again, this time into a 5 gallon pot, I think, with 8 quarts of unfertilized potting soil and about 1 quart of the Miracle-Gro stuff. It has done well except it's not growing at near the pace the older plant is. It also developed some yellowing on the 3rd set of leaves, which I couldn't easily identify due to it not matching very well with any of the ailments i had seen pictures of before. I clipped off the 2 affected leaves and it has recovered nicely and there is no more sign of yellowing.

I got a moisture meter for the soil and only water when the soil near the bottom is no longer "moist" on the meter. For the older plant the Miracle-Gro seems to be fulfilling its nutrient needs for the moment, I just hope it doesn't cause too many problems in the future. I gave the younger plant a small dose of blood meal mixed with water yesterday because the new growth was very light green and it had a lot less M-G nutes to use than the other. Early this morning I LST'd the older plant. It was 8-9 inches tall and a few inches taller than the other plant and I figured I'd see how well LST'ing worked, so I'm gonna leave the other plant just as it is

I have a fan on low blowing on the plants at all times and the temp in my closet is from 80-84F throughout the day.

Anyway, heres the good part:
The younger plant on 7/10


The older plant on 7/10


The younger plant on 7/12


The older plant on 7/12


The younger plant on 7/16


The older plant after its LST on 7/17


The older plant appears to be indica dominant and the younger looks sativa dominant. I hope 1 of the 2 at least turn out to be female. Unfortunately I have to leave town again until next Saturday but hopefully the plants will be alright. When I get back I'm gonna get some warm CFL's and build some sort of makeshift cabinet to block outside light and I'll be putting them on the 12/12 cycle.

Well if anyone has questions or suggestion feel free to comment.

Thanks.

Unfortunately I'm going to be on the other side of the country in a couple days and I won't be able to take care of the plants for about a week. I'm leaving my apt. tonight, and even though I just watered two days ago and the soil isn't yet dry I'm going to give them a each a cup or two of water in a little bit. Hopefully they won't up and die on me while I'm gone.

Just temporarily sprinkle some polymer crystals on top of the soil if you want to be sure they won't dry out while you're away.

Should be able to find them anywhere plant related (or even a large general store) for real cheap.  :thumbup:

Whites are too immature to grow. Males, females, and hermis come from the same mature, dark seeds.

You have very thick side branching for only having a shoplight on those, and miracle grow soil IMO is not all that bad my first two grows I used it, and I had decent plants. I later bought a Micro nutrient supplement from a hydro store to make up for miracle grows lack of them.

Thanks for all of the responses.

Well the plants are at about 5 weeks of veg. Like I said I was away for a week and when I got back up here the younger plant was looking great aside from some very minor burns caused by it touching the lights. The older plant, on the other hand, was severely droopy from the soil drying out and the lowest two sets of fan leaves were done for so I pruned them and then watered both pots thoroughly. The older plant has recovered well and I LST'd it again. However, the leaves are still slightly droopy and it hasn't used much of its water as compared to the younger plant so I think is still recovering from the stress of drying out and losing some leaves. The younger plant has really taken off so I LST'd it today since my grow space is now a 3 foot tall utility cabinet from Meijer.

I have changed the lights to 2 26W, 2700K CFL's per plant and 1 23W, 6500K CFL in the middle for a little side lighting. As soon as I get some heat problems taken care of( I just need to finish making the exhaust as the heat gets up to about 95 degrees when the doors are closed), and get some reflective material on the walls of the cabinet I'm going to start the 12/12 lighting and hope for at least one female. I'm gonna take care of those things within the next 24 hrs.

I've got some more bulbs and a 24" fluorescent grow light that I'm gonna add as soon as I get the means to do so (I spent the last of my money on the cabinet). I'm also gonna give the plants some bloom booster nutes(10-52-10), at 1/2 strength, the next time I water them and then probably full strength as the plants show they need them.

Here's the whole setup. As you can see the walls are bare, so I'm gonna get some mylar or just put up some foil dull side out.


Here's the older plant as of a few minutes ago:


Here's the younger plant as of a few minutes ago:


I'm really hoping one of the 2 will be female.
As always, any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Yeah, at the moment I actually have 2, one small in the cabinet and one big ouside the cabinet. When i finish the exhaust I'll just have the one small one on them but I may get another if its needed.

I finished the exhaust but unfortunately even with it, with the doors closed the temp gets up from 90-95 degrees. I watered both plants with half strength 10-52-10 fertilizer for the first time and I put them on the 12/12 light cycle for the first time yesterday. The high temps sort of concern me as they might go even higher than 95 with the lights on if I had to leave the doors closed for the full 12 hours. For now I'm just gonna leave the doors open when the lights are on and put a large fan outside of the cabinet, at least until I can afford another fan for either an active air intake or another exhaust. I may also just leave the temps and use the yeast and sugar water method of creating CO2 so that the growth isn't stunted by the high temps. On top of all this my damn AC broke yesterday and I won't have time to get the maintenance man to fix it until after this weekend because I'm going on a little trip once again. At least this time its only until Sunday. I also put up some foil dull side out, and did a pretty half assed job, using black duct tape and only covering the easy to cover areas. I'm not too worried about it though.

Anyway heres some pictures:

This is the older plant this morning


Here's the youunger plant this morning


And here' the whole cabinet this morning

So I was just looking at my plants hoping to see signs of sex, and I seem to have at least one female and a possibility of both being female. At two sites on the younger plant there appear to be pistils growing from branch unions, and there appears to be the same at one site on the older plant. One site on the younger plant was visible enough to take a picture of:

So what do you guys think, if you can see anything that is. Any closer and my camera couldn't focus.

I'm thinking that if both turn out to be female I'm just gonna get rid of the older plant for a few reasons. For one, the grow space in my cabinet is already getting pretty crowded and I will definitely need to do some more LSTing. Also, the younger plant seems to be sativa dominant and i prefer a sativa high over an indica high. The older plant is also having some health problems, I would assume from the Miracle-gro potting soil and the fact that it has the time release nutrients in it. After I added the bloom ferts it showed signs of nute burn even though they were at half strength. I'm sure the younger plant will take up most of the grow space if I LST it more and with the light that would be given to the other plant being added to the younger plant I will be able to get a good deal more bud of a type which I prefer. Plus, I won't have to deal as much with both the pH and nutrient problems that the M-G soil is supposed to cause.

Feel free to toss out some opinions on what I should do. I would hate to get rid of a plant that was female so if I decide to only grow the younger one indoors I might take the older one to a friend's house or just to some random outdor spot.

I just went and had a closer look and they're both confirmed females. I'm trying to think of how I could keep both of them and I may be able to overcome the space limitations with some creative LSTing. I just dont know what would be more worth while; giving 1 plant all the light, space, and attention, or dividing it up between two plants.

Yeah thats what I'm leaning towards at the moment, since I've already come this far with both of them. However, the younger plant is already pretty big, the stem is probably 16" long and I have to move it away from the lights daily due to it growing at least 1/2" a day, and the space is only 20" deep and I believe 30" wide. So considering the fact that it should grow to at least twice its size it will probably be tight in there with just that one plant. I'll do some surveying when the lights come back on in about 7 hours to see if its possible to keep both, and I'll post some pictures of the whole setup to get some more opinions.

I'm guessing there's nowhere to put the indoor reject?  Maybe you could put her in a discreet spot outside?  It would be a shame to lose one...especially because the two plants could come out looking, tasting, smelling completely different even if they are the same strain.

A cab that small really does put a strain on things  :sad:

Well I live in a 1 br apartment so there's no other space here to put it. I live in a fairly large city without any large, public, wooded areas around that would be free from pesky people, at least that I know of, but I may have to look for one. I've got a couple friends that grow outside and I'm sure they would welcome a nice indoor plant since I could even give them the lights they'd need since I have a few extra. The only problem is that they live 75 miles away and I'd hate to drive that far with a foot+ weed plant in my car.

Hmmmm...75 miles with a pot plant in your car may be a little sketchy :wink:

I'm gonna go out on a limb (uhhhyuuuukkkk) but have you thought about putting it in a tree?  There's a small tree outside my house that I was thinking of putting a plant in, except i have backyard space...

Ever think of constructing a bigger cab and putting it in the corner of your room?  A free dresser drawer setup from craigslist could be converted...but yeah, i know my bedroom couldn't support an extra 4in square, lol.  I don't know what else to suggest :frown: maybe you do need to get rid of one of the girls :frown:

Just let them grow into eachother, they will be fine. Plants have to grow and adapt all the time, and plus it would be such a waste to throw away a female!

Thanks for all the suggestions.
After LST'ing them today it seems like they should both fit in there together, unless I'm just wishfully underestimating the growth yet to come. And if LST'ing isn't enough I've got a screen that would work perfectly for a scrog. I'll have to just wait to see how it all works out.

Anyways, here are some pictures.

Some pistils on the younger plant:

Have you begun flowering yet? If you haven't, they will stretch A LOT...which is another thing to consider if you plan on keeping both plants.

Yeah, they've been on 12/12 for 9 days now. From what I read the main time for that stretching usually lasts like 2 weeks, right? Then the growth slows considerably? They've already almost doubled in size, I believe, and they continue to grow like crazy. The tops keep getting small burns because I don't check on them right as the light turns on sometimes and they've grown like 3/4in-1in during the dark period.

At the moment I think I'm just gonna settle and let them grow together while LST'ing to keep them in unobstructed light to the best of my ability. Next time I get some cash I'm gonna buy another light fixture or 2 so I can use as many CFL's as possible and hope for at least a little penetration if they do start crowding too much and taking over each others light.

I just couldn't stand throwing away a perfectly good female, especially since the plants seem to be of such different genetic makeup(they came from a stash of about 400 seeds I've saved up from many bags to just spread outdoors sometime in the future). Plus, even though the younger plant looks like it's going to be huge, it still won't take up the WHOLE cab, and having 2 should almost fully utilize the space. As long as I come out of this with some killer bud I'll be more than happy.

Most plants should pretty much stop the stretch after a couple weeks...so keep LST to the best of your ability sounds good to me.  On another topic, I think you may benefit from formatting text into paragraphs :wink:

Well they seem to be slowing down a tad in vertical growth and bushing out more already.  New calyxes are popping up all over on both plants, and I must say it is a beautiful sight.

Here's some new pictures I just took a few minutes ago.

Calyxes near the top of the older plant:


The whole cabinet.  They are forming quite a thick canopy but aren't really crowding each other that much yet:

I added that 24", 6000K grow light because the 2 daylight CFL's I was using for lighting the lower growth got crowded out by the plants.  They really seem to like it even though it has some pretty low lumens.

God damn I love this hobby :smile:

Well everything's going good. I rearranged the plants so that they fit prefectly in the cab without crowding each other, and their vertical growth seems to have substantially slowed so it appears they can indeed live in harmony. I LST'd the older plant again because it was nearly touching the light.

I got another fixture so now there are 6 26W, 2700K CFl's in the cabinet, and 1 24", 20W, 6000K fluorescent. So 176W total and just over 11,000 lumens.

I watered the plants today with 1/2 strength bloom ferts(10-52-10), full strength superthrive, and some H2O2. The last time I gave them the bloom ferts they both showed signs of nute burn, the older plant was pretty badly burned but the younger was just minor, and I flushed both. Hopefully they will take to the ferts better this time. I gave them each a half gallon of water.

Well here's the good stuff.
Some calyxes near the top of the older plant:


The whole setup with the new lights in place and the plants in their new arrangement:


As always any feedback is welcomed and appreciated.

It's day 14, I think, of 12/12 and things are generally going smoothly. However, I was sleeping tonight when the lights turned on so I couldn't move the lights up to accomodate the plants. Because of this the top of the older plant got pretty badly burned.

Aside from that setback everything looks good. More pistils are popping up daily. It's getting quite crowded in the cabinet but hopefully the growth upwards and outwards will slow as bud growth really gets going.

The whole setup:


The top of the younger plant:

Some pistils on a side branch on the younger plant:


The top of the older plant:

The burns on the top of the older plant:

So could the burns have any lasting negative effect on the plant?

The younger plant's upward growth has slowed considerably, but the older plant is still growing at a crazy pace. I had to LST it again today because its about to out grow the cabinet. It keeps running into the lights and I can't raise them any more. Hopefully that growth slows down sooner rather than later. I also hope the burned top doesn't cause too much long term harm.

The older plant is also showing signs of potassium deficiency, which can be directly attributed to the acidity of the Miracle-gro potting soil causing a K lockout. It isn't causing too drastic an effect at the moment, just slightly browning leaf margins and rust colored spots on some of the leaves. I'm not sure how I going to remedy the problem. I'll probably flush the plant soon, or I may just add a little bit of hydrated lime to its water until the pH is acceptable. Any suggestions on the best course of action would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the whole setup as of a few minutes ago:


Here's the top of the older plant:


And here's the branch on the younger plant that I put a picture of in my last update:

for all the electricity you are using you could get a high pressure sodium ligh from insidesun.com for $130.

nice grow. enjoy the harvest.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't have the space, money, or ventilation for HPS. When I move into a place that's bigger than a 1br apartment I'll upgrade to HID, if I'm still growing, but its just impractical at the moment. Plenty of people over at cannabis.com have achieved very respectable yields from compact fluorescents; nothing like whats possible from HID's but I'm just looking for a personal stash of high quality bud. Not to mention, electricity's cheap so its not too big of a deal.

Just a little update. I added a teaspoon of garden lime to a gallon of water today to hopefully take care of the problems with the older plant. The plants are both slowing down height growth, so hopefully that will be done soon. The number of pistils has increased dramatically over the last few day. That's about all there is to report at the moment.

Here's the whole setup:


Here's the top of one of the younger plant's branches:

The plants are still looking good. However, every time I think they are just about done growing one of them has a growth spurt and grows 1/2" in a dark period. I thought the younger plant was about done growing then when the lights turned on last night it was in the light again. There's no more vertical room at all so now I'm into the realm of creative LST'ing, with both plants having some twisted stems. I can't complain though as it the LST'ing is working out well an the buds are coming along nicely.

Fortunately most of the budsites on the branches are in unobstructed light and the ones on the younger plant are really starting to look good. The older plant is a little behind on the budding, probably due to the stress its been subjected to(lights burning it, bad soil, almost drying out completely, etc...).

Here's the whole setup:

Today I rearranged the plants in the cabinet to cope with continued growth. I also trimmed off the lowest branches on the younger plant as they were heavily shaded and were presumaby diverting energy from the branches which are actually budding. Other than that there's not much to report.

The whole setup:

I would like to do one of those next grow since space restrictions are obviously more of a problem than I expected at the beginning. I've also been thinking about just growing Lowryder next time since they rarely get above like 16".

No, i didn't take any clones this time but if I get some actual name brand genetics I will. I'd probably grow up a mother and then take clones for a SOG.

DAY 22 of 12/12

There have been a few developments since my last update. Most importantly I was a dumbass yesterday and forgot to check on the plants as soon as the lights came on, and when I did check, the older plant had been directly on the light for about 30 minutes. The string I used to LST it had come loose from its tape anchor and the result was a completely brown, crispy top so I decided just to trim it off just above the branch closest to it since it was done for. It was already in bad shape from previous burns so hopefully it won't be too detrimental. I smoked the bits that were bud and I must say that I got quite high, and it was already undoubtedly better than the commercial it came from. Here is the top as it is now:


Other than that the plants are looking great. The younger plant has crazy amounts of hairs popping up everywhere. The older plant is developing some nice buds too, just significantly slower, probably due to the shit its been through lately.

So here are some pics taken a few minutes ago.
The whole setup:

I really should be more alert, that was like the 3rd time the top had been burned. As long as it doesn't go hermie from the stress, and I end up getting some good weed I'll be happy.

DAY 25 of 12/12

The plants are doing well and there have been no major setbacks lately. The buds continue to grow and both plants look healthy except for what look to be some minor signs of nutrient lockup due to the soil being to acidic(rust colored spots and slight browning of the leaf margins). To remedy this I watered each plant with a half a gallon of water with 1 tbsp garden lime dissolved in the gallon.

I haven't fertilized in a while and I'll wait until the problems with the pH are corrected to resume feeding with the bloom ferts.

The whole setup:

Thanks. I sure am looking forward to harvest. Today is day 29 of 12/12 so hopefully they'll be coming down in about 4 weeks. It sure will be nice to have a good deal of high quality weed at one time, but I'm really looking forward to making some hash, as I've only ever had small amounts up until this point.

great grow dude, seriously. thanks for keeping us posted on your status man. those plants are looking decent. i doubt the older plant is stressin too bad man. i have seen worse stressed fems make it out okay.

they look very good for the poor genetics you are probably working with (only an assumption) bagseed grow worked for me when I did it, which was a long long long time ago. i never tried an indoor grow. always thought i would but i got outta cultivation before i ever tried it.

I'm planning on it, I just have to raise the funds. I'll probably just sell a bit of this harvest to get the money for some better seeds.

DAY 34 of 12/12
I unfortunately had to cut down the older plant. It was lagging behind the younger plant in the bud production department and the room in the cabinet had simply run out. There was no way to position the lights or tie down the plants in a manner which would keep the tops from being burned, but still allowing them to get light. So I cut it down, and now all of the lights are on the younger plant and its looking good. Since I cut the older one down the buds seem to have doubled in size, and it's only been a week. I'll put some pictures up sometime soon.
