Bagseed & Rubbermaid Grow Box

Hey looks good man, nice job on the recovery of your plants. Im about at the same growth has you and this is my first grow. I have had a few problems with one plant. I think its a retard hahaha. Keep up the good work later.

hey are u planning on using those lights for flowering? if so what kind are they aside from a CFL. are they cool, full spectrum, and what is the wattage. thanks bro

The problems that I had werent really my fault, like the heat stress issue... I didnt DO anything to burn my plants, I shoulda caught it earlier, and either added an extra fan, or moved the lights away... But everything I read says to have the CFL's within 2"-3" of your tallest plant, and thats what I did, I followed directions and got burned..it happens.

And honestly, No I didnt have a clue as to what to do, or how to start off, I'd only raised living, moving creatures before this, but Im only on day 13 and look at how much my plants have grown...

Im using 5 "Curly" CFL's...4 of them are warm 26w CFL's and one Cool White 13w CFL...During flowering Im gonna add another 4 cool white CFL's..probably around the 26w-45w range...
Stay Tuned..lights came one a lil while ago so updated shots are next..Im tellin U these little ladies have grown so much in only 13 Days!

Remember, these babies are only 13 Days old since I put them in a paper towel...


Plant A




^^Largest in group..'5 leaf' Fan leaves has formed.now shes stretching A LOT trying to get to the light! Check out the growth in the nodes!!!

Plant B




^^Finally starting to look like marijuana!! Look at her growth in the nodes too~!

Plant C


^^Still struggling to recover from that heat stress, but lots of new growth is coming out of every node!

Plant D




^^The underdogg..definately becoming my favorite, just bcuz she was a runt, and now shes really taking off growing! Check out that growth inside the nodes!!

I've only watered them twice, both times I made sure water leaked from the bottom

ignore what cali-high said, person is an asshole. for vegging you want the cool white bulbs, and for flowering you want the warm bulbs.

lol..i knew that about the bulbs but I had it backwards ..damn it ahh well...at the time home depot had a sale going on, and these were like 4.99 for 4 of em.. and this was all that was left so I grabbed them and bought the single cool white one at wal mart for like $3.99 (crazy huh?!).. but now I wanna do a combo, using warm and cool white..just as an experiment I guess..but that will create a lot of heat, so once I have a solution for that, then I'll get a couple more cool whites.

thanks bro

Yea dude thats what im doin. Im gonna have like 100 bulbs in there before its all over hahahaha. But yea they dont really produce alot of heat. I just have a fan blowin on them and i open the door to the grow room like every once in a while.

yeah dude, lookin good, check out my new grow journal

Great work!

They look awesome...

I started today from seed, but planted them straight into soil. Doing a little experient to see the harsh environments Malawi Gold can withstand...

Hope yours and mine grow to adult-bud-hood!

Hey everybody thanks for the feedback! I wish all of Ur grows luck as well..

weedwak ur probably gonna have a hell of a time with that Malawi Gold..its one of those exotics that you MUST do everything right or it wont come out right..but once U get everything perfect U'r gonna have a hell of a smoke!

its day 16 and a very special day for my plants.. Im halfway thru my Vegetative Cycle, and Ive seen some great growth outta these babes in the last couple of days so I decided its about time to do some topping and LST'ing!

Two of them(Plant A & Plant B) grew right into my lights so those were the 2 I decided to do LST on, and the other 2(Plant C & Plant D) I topped.

I've gave them their first feeding bcuz the lower leaves were turning a light yellow which could mean a few things:

1.)they're about to die and fall off!
2.)the plants have become root bound!
3.)its time to give them some nutes!
..so I gave em some nutes, and they turned back to green again (except for the few spots where I spilled some nutes and gave one plant nute burn), perked up even more and grew as well.

Now fore the pix
Plant A
Before:

This one is bushier and has rounder leaves...female maybe?

After:


Plant B
Before:

^^This one is taller and has spikey leaves...its seems lanky too..male possibly?

After:


Plant C
Before:



After:



Plant D
Before:

^^I Noticed that 2 of my plants are bushier and have rounder leaves, is this early signs of sex? are the males taller and lanky? Females shorter, bushier and rounder leaves? or is that more so depending on the strain?

After:

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I planted another one just in case Im in for an upset...meet Plant E the latest addition.

Plant E

Plants that are shorter, bushier, and have fatter leaves are more indica based strains, while plants that are taller, spread out, and have skinny leaves are mostly sativa based strains. You can't tell sex until a week or 2 after you start flowering.

thanks for the speedy response!...lol

I figured that much out already, but I dunno... maybe it was just wishful thinking.

Since they're bag seed there's really no telling what they are, but Its definitely Indica bcuz of the the short & bushiness of them, and the smell resembles that of skunky/earthy. It reminds me of a similar GJ I seen on another site, where someone grew a very similar looking/smelling plants called Oasis from Dutch Passion. Im 85% positive that they're Oasis, just based on all the physical features of this plant...
as far as the sex goes, I guess we'll just have to wait and see

Just wanted to show everyone the root ball before I did the X-plant..
Check this out... This one was the last one I did, and the rest of them were tangled WORSE than this one...Im glad I X-Planted when I did..

word of advice for any n00b's out there, when your plant stays the same height for 2-3 days straight, and you dont notice any new growth, check out the roots, it may be root bound and showing signs for 'time to transplant'!

and remember this is only Day 16 since Germination!..from that little taproot to this:

Yea I wanted like 10 days then transplanted them. Your leafs look huge compared to mine. Looks good hope everything goes well with them.

hey updats are good kwl! looking nice I cant wait till u flower them when there bi enough so I can see what harvest u get lmao looks lush so far them leaves look so healthy and the roots are huge they must love it lol

Well its day 19 for them and they're all about 6" high and about 8"-10" wide. Since they're in 2 gallon pots they have plenty of leg room..Watered them today for the first time after transplanting...and took some update shots.

Plants A & B are the 2 that I LST'd on and you can really see the difference in these ones. The branches that started out as little nubbs are as long as the Fan leafs, and each branch has a set of 2 alternating nodes on them..now would be the perfect time to take clones, however I dont have the space to do so, plus growing from seed isnt all that bad when I start on my next grow. I actually enjoy watching my plant grow from seedling to full adulthood anyway ..

The Other 2, Plant C & D are the ones that I topped and Im getting some new growth right at the nodes where I toped them at, maybe a couple 4 headed monsters on my hand..???

I have no bugs, no burns, and very little smell. But Im running out of time and space!

Im gonna switch em to flowering on monday bcuz Im running really short on time. I have approx. 5-6 weeks before I need to have these ladies cut down dried, and ready to smoke..its gonna be a struggle, but Im pretty sure I can do it...so in 2 days theyre going into flowering.

To prepare for speedy flowering, first off Im gonna untie the LST'd ladies so they can do some good stretching and so I dont stress em out, i want them to grow as much as they possibly can in the next 48hrs..

for the next 24 hrs Im gonna give them straight light, then for the last 24hrs Im gonna give them straight darkness.

on monday, im gonna give them a really good flush, and then starts the 12/12.

I've come to the conclusion that the reason why all of my plants look different and grow at different speeds is bcuz they are all different strains (except for plant A&B, Im pretty sure theyre exactly the same..just based on speed of growth and size, smell, color and other similiar physical attributes)..goes to show what to expect from growing bagseed..this should be interesting tho, 4 different types of plants..hopefully I get a hermie or two just incase its good smoke..I would love to have more seeds of my own strain.



Plant A

its like half broad leaves and half narrow leaves, possibly a hybrid of some sort, definitely mostly indica bcuz its growing so fast!

Plant B


^^Same here, definitely mostly indica bcuz of the speed of growth, and new narrow leaves open up everyday

Plant C

^^Thikin about naming her droopy, bcuz..well she's drooped since i can remember, I dont neccessairly like the way this one looks, even tho shes still a beauty I just dont like worrying about my plant bcuz she always droops. she has had the exact same conditions as the rest of the plants but she still droops! I wouldnt be upset if this one turned out male and I killed it.

Plant D



Topped node:


^^The most beautiful one of the bunch in my opinion. she just looks so perfect!

Plant E

^^The only sativa of the whole group it looks like.

light spots on leaves is water from foliar feeding.

Hey nice update there looking great! will check back again soon!
