1st grow bag seed all comments welcome good or bad!

[Johnnyblaze326]

These seeds are good bag seed that had me drooling for hours! NOt sure what they are and im pretty sure i never will know exactly what they are
sorry for the outdated journal been so damn busy wasnt able to really get on the comp as soon as i thought

All questions are welcome ill try to answer to the best of my abillity remember this is my 1st grow

very 1st grow EVER
well i started on april 24 .. I put 12 good bagseeds in generic potting soil in 32 oz cups with alot of holes since i didnt put perlite in soil

April 28 11/12 popped outta the soil waiting on number 12 but not to worried my magic number is 10...I started to use cfl lights for this grow 6 6500k lights...they worked great to start off ...turned the lights on to 18/6.

may 1 all plants looking good a little streching but no biggy i have plenty of room

may 5 I finally said hell with it and went and bought a 600 watt MH/Hps Greenhouse digi ballast ...hood is around 19 inch from tops of plants they are loving the new light

May 6 Installed too small fans and a wireless thermometer

May 11 well i got my magic number 10 for plants 1 never cracked and one decided to commit suicide ....

May 13 Transplanted into 1 gallon pots today i Decided id go with 70% FFOF and 30%LW with some extra perlite even know FFOF and LW already have some already but some more cant hurt.. Im using FOx farm nutes the trio pack...well se how these are ...ive only heard great things about it

May 18 they will be 3 weeks old tomorrow they are getting big ...IM not sure what to expect out of these plants .....got my fingers crossed for many females



these pics were taken on MAY 18th

June 1st started to use Fox Farm Grow BIG the soil started to run out of nutes in the 1 gallon pot acouple leaves on bottom started to yellow and fall off no biggy though...Used 3 tbsp per gallon plants took it like a champ all but 1 just a couple burn marks no biggy didnt like that one anyways!!!

June 11th Transplanted to 3 gallon pots with FOX FARM OCEAN FOREST im thinking more like i hope 3 gallon should be good enough to finish off in i dont wanna transplant again during flowering...from what i read is bad to do but correct me if im wrong please....After topping of with soil i watered and let settle then topped off again leaving room for watering

well its June 15 and im back on track with my journal to my post

been soo damn busy and all ...well i have moved 700 miles away from where i started the plants but i brought them with me ....transported them during their night hours which worked out perfect...didnt even show signs of stress at all ....well its june 14 i changed my timer ...im going to start knocking of a half hour everyday untill i reach 13/11 plus tomorrow morning ganna put the HPS bulb in and put up some 6500k cfls up just 4-5 of them to help with bud sites and all ....temps stay even all the time with the central ac and all around 77-79f barely gets to 80
Oh ya i only have 8 now by the way i left 2 in the other state i was in they are in the ground while someone watches over them ..ill be back up their in the end of september anyways they should be ready by then or chopped if they are males


what are peoples thoughts about 13/11 over 12-12 from my understanding just from reading not experience is it will be better for bud growth
WELL HERE ARE MY BABIES CANT WAIT FOR THEM TO SHOW THEIR SEX These are up to date pics

Wow man they look great. why are you going to go 13 on 11 off, seems like it would stress the plants out which can cause hermis. Any preflowers yet they look big enough to figure out their sex. Also looking at the pic I am noticing some of the leaves are hooking down at the points. This is a begininng sign of over feeding, I would reccomend giving those plants a smaller does of nutes in the future.

 

[Johnnyblaze326]

actually i havent given any nutes in like 5 days or more cause i tansplanted with fresh soil from 1 gallon to 3 gallon and no i wish there was preflowers so i could rid of the males

 

[Johnnyblaze326]

well i have been decreasing the light time 30 min everday till 12/12..i am around 15 1/2 hours on and 8 1/2 off would it be ok to just switch it over to 12/12 i need to get the males out and give my ladies all the light they can get.i was just wondering if it could cause problems doing that now since i already started knocking 30 min off each day....

WILL BE POSTING NEW PICS TONIGHT stay tuned they are getting big these guys have vegged for 47 days

 

[Johnnyblaze326]

im thinking that these ladies and gents are possibly showing preflowers before 12/12 would that mean they are at their mature state which is good. right? ill get pics tonight to get other peoples thoughts .this is my 1st grow so not to sure .ive only read hours and hours soooo im not to sure but im confident that they are

 

[Johnnyblaze326]

8 plants total all unknown bagseed ...6 confirmed females waiting on the others ..i Fell like im going to run outta room with these ...Gave them Their first feeding of Tigerbloom 2 1/2 tsp and a little less than 1/2 cup of BIG Bloom

 

[Johnnyblaze326]

well so far i have 8/8 plants are female thats a 0.4% chance im not sure me getting 8/8 is a good thing or a bad thing too good to be true or what? ive decided to put 1-2 plants outside to finish off in natural sunlight probably 2 of the stretched ones

why would it stress the plant? the natural lights cycle gets shorter neway. plus this is how i do it start at 10 or 11 and slowly cut my timer back 15 min every 2-3 days till i get to 15 off

 

[Johnnyblaze326]

umm 15 OFF that means u only have the lights ON for 9 hours ...any reason behind the method of ur madness..no pun intended

 

[Johnnyblaze326]

well today i will be taking the light fixture down and wiring a fan and scrubber...I will be taking the wiring that is for the light and wiring into the fan ...Ill put up pics of it when im comletely done doing the conversion.....yaaa no extra holes woo hooo

 

[Johnnyblaze326]

well i have transplanted 1 outside so far the one that got nute burnt a little bit... 1 day out side and i can see new growth already ..no stress noticed at all


pics of the one outside and pics of the other 7 in closter most likely ganna take 1 more out of the closet and put here next to her sister

 

[Johnnyblaze326]

morning my girls ..yum yum i cant wait to smoke you...5 gallon bucket transfer today

 

[Toolage57]

Looking relay good

I read on a site that you'll get a higher to almost 100% female ration if your light time is around 14/10 or 13/11

 

[Johnnyblaze326]

well today i transplanted from 3 to 5 gallon pots ill never do that agian what a pain in the ass....just not enough room for soil to get to the sides but i managed ...next time ill go from 1-5 or 3-7 or something like that but never 3-5 fuck that........i decided to put them out in the sun for a little bit i feel like they are stretching way to much ...but hey what can i say my 1st grow ill get it sooner or later

 

[Johnnyblaze326]

forgot my test plant ..this is the one i use to test my nute solution and my superthrive she is also a female number 8 thats outside she will be joined by another female soon they can have some good old lesbian love action

 

[Johnnyblaze326]

ya next year is going to be great ..im going to have a nice BIG crop outside ..i Live in the sticks where no one will see a damn thing man....15.5 acres ...my back yard gets sun from 6 am till the sun goes down ...i plan on atleast 15 outside not lined up so the
