Iris and Sadie

Here are pics of Iris and Sadie. The are bagseed, but you have to work with what you've got. They popped out of the ground on Thursday. The pics were taken Friday night.

I'm so proud of my girls. I gave up on my outdoor grow. It wasn't going so well. These little ladies are growning right here in my "office" so we can spend plenty of time together.

I'm hoping for some special weed from them for the x-mas smoke out.


pic number one is Iris
pic number two is Sadie

It's the evening of day 4 and Iris and Sadie look good to me. They went outside today to sunbathe from 10 am to 4 pm then came back inside to relax under their 6500K daylight bulb. They seem content.


For those of you who use Superthrive, when do you start using it? Right now they're getting just plain water. I let it sit ouside in a jug intil I'm ready to use it, let all that bad crap evaporate.

This is pretty much my first grow. My outside grow flopped and I've given up on it, so any help would be appreciated.


1) Iris

2) Sadie

When should I start giving them something other than water?
I was considering starting them on a very weak dose of superthrive soon. Is that a good idea or a mistake?

I wouldn't give them anything for at least another week. And I don't know about superthrive (heard about it, never tried it)

I think you would be better off with using fish emulsion instead. Safest stuff I know of and great for young plants.

When they are about a week and a half to 2 weeks old, give them a watering with 1/4 strength fish emulsion.

Trying to add any kind of nutes now can burn them easily.

Iris and Sadie and doign well, they are 9 days old today. I have also decide to put up lics of Lucinda, she started as my outside grow that went poorly. She got spider mites, and lost most of her leaves. I dug her up, put her in a pot in a sunny location, hosed her down with soapy water and she came out of it. Now she's on the same in the house, out of the house as Iris and Sadie.

I also discovered in Lucindas pot on Wednesday, 2 sprouts that had been written off. The seeds were planted maybe a month ago, but they didn't sprout till now. What a surprise. I'm calling them Flotsom and Jetsom.

Comments / suggestions welcome.

Use superthrive ( a drop or 2 per gallon is all u need) right up untill flowering. Let your tap water sit out at least two days. You have 5 plants? Your going to need a bunch of CFL's. Check out my 1st grow. I learned a ton from it. I'm in the middle of harvesting 6 plants from an 850watt cfl grow. Bagseed just like you. I'm getting some excellent smoke from it too.
Good luck, and happy growing.
Flotsome & Jetsom lmao I named mine 1,2,3,4 etc.

Hey thanks for the input. It's always nice to hear from someone if my plants are looking good or screwed lol. Flotsom and Jetsom were 2 seeds that had cracked and I planted but didn't grow. I had written them off. So when they sprang the other day, they were a surprise.

I think Jetsom got burned by the light today, so she may be a goner, only time will tell.

If Lucinda gets some size on her she'll probably go to 12/12 at the end of Sept when the equinox hits. The others I'm going to just wing it.

R I P Jetsom.

Now Flotsom needs a new name, it sounds dumb by its self.

Think I'm going to call Fotsom Bonnie from now on.

Hehheh, I'm not growing CFL, outdoor exclusively for now, but I'm diggin' your story.

I set mine outside from 10 ish to 5 ish before they are on cfl's from 6 am to outside and from inside to 10:30 ish or whenever I can't stay awake any longer.

But hey, I went out to put away the pot I had Jetsom in and found another long since forgotten seed that decided to sprout . I set that pot over by my corn and it's just going to stay outside.

iv always wanted to do a cfl grow ... good luck man

Wouldn't that be your.... niece?

im only 20 and i have 4 people in my immediate family so this whole neice/nephew cousin uncle crap confuses me to now end, so i guess so

Ok, man, ok, I'm not gonna bust your chops (especially since, even at MY age--44--I am still meeting cousins I never knew I had).

Seamaiden is correct, your brothers/sisters son/daughter would be your nephew/niece.

It can be very confusing especially when you get into crap like this is my second cousin once removed, blah, blah, blah.........

So hey, lets just get high

I'm going to be honest here, your plants look sick. Almost looks like nutrient lockout to me. What kind of soil are you growing in? also your soil looks very dry, seedlings like lots of water, try not to let the soil dry out when they are that young. I hope they green up.

Well according to every other post here, they need to dry out between waterings. Also they havn't had any nutes yet. I know Lucinda doesn't look the best, she has lots of problems and I had left her for dead, then she perked up.

But hey thanks for the positive input and I'd love to see your grow.

haha nice comeback moffit haha

I've found that how dry you let them get, or I should say how dry you have to let them get between waterings really depends on their age. For the first few weeks mine are kept in a tray that's always got 1/4"-1/2" of water. They get their first MILD nutrient dose at about three weeks.

It's interesting that you're combining the CFLs with sunlight. Is that to save on power?
