First Time Grow! Bagseed Closet Grow!

cannabum13 · #1 04-23-2008, 08:06 AM

Well, I'm starting this journal so I have something to refer to next Fall when I begin my grow from purchased seeds. As for right now I'm only using bag seed so I can get ready for next year. I'm starting this journal a little late because I pretty much just found this site a couple days ago!

I started my plants about 2 and a half weeks ago. They were growing under incandescent lights for the 1st two weeks b/c I didnt know they were not good for growing. But no worries! I switched to two 100 watt CFL's. There's only 3 plants. The temp. is about 80 when the lights are on and 70 when off. The lights are on a 18/6 light cycle. No nutes have been fed to them yet b/c the soil i used is MG Moisture Control Potting Soil. I just recently transpotted them from their originally 2 in. pots to 7 in. pots. So, now I'm just sittin and waiting for the time to flower...oh by the way...these plants do have the stretch symptoms. I'm a dummy and just kinda dove into this growing thing without researching first...blah. But hey, its all to learn for next year right? Here are some pics:

Ok...so the CFL's seem to be working fine. The plant's growth has slowed a bit due to the transplanting and whatnot. But it seems to be picking back up again.
Plant A: 3.5 in.
Plant B: 5 in.
Plant C: 6 in.
I fed B and C some nutes today because I started noticing yellowish leaves and maybe some wilting. Hopefully i can bring them back. Also it seems I have two different kinds growing. It was bagseed so i'm not sure what kind they are. But the plants look different from each other. I'll post pictures soon.

So here are the pictures I promised...take a look at the first one...the biggest one...the leaves are pointed upward. Usually that means it needs water or nutes so I gave it both about 4 hours ago but it doesn't seem to be getting ne better...guess ill let it sit for a day and hope for the best...

Really tall and skinny. Should have planted them deep when you transplanted them. The CFL seemed to have help the growth, you don't need the bottom of the plant anyway, hope your stalk takes life to hold those girls.
