Thought I would share some pictures of the small closet grow I've had going for just over a month now. I adopted the plant from a friend when it was still very young. Like the title says, I'm doing this on a budget so it's just a few 26w and a few 42w CFLS. Growing in soil. Mixed in a little lime and a lot of pearlite. Watering with gallon jugs of distilled water from the grocery store and some miracle grow tomatoe plant fertilizer. I'm using nothing from an online vendor and nothing from a hydro store. Anyways, here are the first few pics. Sorry for the low quality, but I only have a camera phone at the moment.

**edit**
I've posted the pictures in sets of three. I don't give a rat's ass about post count, so don't flame me for it. I did this for organizational purposes. I think it makes the journal easier to follow, and it's easier to match the captions up with their corresponding pictures. Oh yeah...enjoy!! I'll post updates when I have three more pictures to show. Progress of some seedling projects will be added as well.

From left to right...
1. --01-18-09-- Just recieved the plant at this stage. Funky shaped lower leaves. No idea why.

2. --01-19-09-- Not much bigger.

3. --01-22-09-- A little bigger, but turning yellow. At this point it was starved for nutrients. I let it get pretty bad before I corrected the problem.

4. --01-28-09-- At this point the plant is finally perking up from its malnourishment. I stopped taking pictures for a few days while the plant looked real sad, but you can still see the yellowed leaves and the scars from trimming the lower yellowed leaves in this photo.

5. --01-30-09-- Finally looking much better. I had just FIMed it in this photo.

6. --02-03-09-- Four new tops starting to grow in! First picture after being transplanted into bigger plastic (screw clay!!) pot.

7. --02-06-09-- Still an ugly plant in my opinion.

8. --02-09-09-- Sad looking plant. The stem was that crooked when I adopted it. At this point it didn't have enough light or enough nutrients.

9. --02-12-09-- Definitely showing malnourishment in the lower leaves. Finally taller than a pop can! I'll use the same can in later photos for size comparisons.

10. --02-15-09-- Corrected the nutrients. Added more light. From this point on the plant seems to be flourishing. I've bent down and just topped two of the lower branches in this photo.

11. --02-17-09-- Eh...still an ugly plant but it's definitely improving.

12. --02-18-09-- The first photo of this plant that makes me smile a little bit.

From Left to Right...

1. --02-18-09-- Another angle from the same day as above. At this point the plant is finally getting a bit thicker and bushier.

2. --02-20-09-- One of the tops developed "retarded" leaves. Don't know why...don't really care...it's just bagseed haha.

3. --02-20-09-- Same day different angle. Not too shabby.

Feel free to let me all know what you think. Suggestions and constructive criticism are always welcome!

Pistols have been showing for awhile now, so she's definitely a female

16. --02-22-09-- Adding foil to the walls didn't seem to help with the lighting much, but I left it anyways. I should be getting some mylar soon.

17. --02-24-09-- Filling in nicely.

18. --02-24-09-- I plan to transplant into a 5-gallon pot in the next few days. Roots have been coming out of the bottom of this pot for at least a week and a half now.

Looking pretty good, man! When do you plan to put her into flower?

What strain is that?

Title indicates it's just bagseed. Probably some sativa/indica cross. Looks pretty good though.

Yeah it's just bagseed. I think it was pulled from a bag of mids but that doesn't say much and I honestly don't really remember.

I want to get her as big as possible before I flower. Like I said, I'll probably be transplanting into a 5-gallon pot pretty soon. I'm also waiting for another seedling to be ready to flower with this plant so that I can flower more than one at a time.
