Bagseed 70w 1 x 2 Micro Closet Grow..First Time!!

[TrialAndErrorMan]

Here they are at day 31.

I never realized there was a spare air conditioner outside in the garage so I slapped that baby in and temps are rockin now! It stays right about 78-80 max.

Overnight from yesterday to today they had a growth spurt it seems.

Top leaves are getting big finally and new growths are popping up everywhere after the LST job. No preflowers or signs of sex yet though...

Still havn't got the epsom salts but tomorrow is looking promising.

I've been treating them with about a tablespoon of Miracle Grow Bloom Booster per gallon of water for the past 2 waterings and that has seemed to reduce the purpling of the stems as well as yellowing of some of the leaves. I kno this is meant more for flowers and blooming plants but it has decent levels of NPK and micronutrients.

In one of the pics you can see the brown spots popping up, especially in the last picture..bleh

I decided Im going to continue vegg for another week or 2...with the 26 watt cfl and 70 hps still..

Im absolutely loving this experience!

Hey Man. Looking good! They are bushier then a 70's vagina !!

I definitely have to top my plants now, curious if they will bush out like that!! Did you plan on grabbing any clones from them or you just going to flower them and be done with it?

Also I love the stealth grow, that is inside a PC case?

Do topping and pinching of stems..theres a thread or 2 on here about it..you take a plant, grab a branch with your pointer and thumb and squeeze gently till u feel it squish a tiny bit..thats all there is to it..but make sure not to squeeze too hard. what this does is breaks the fibers inside slightly and then the plant focuses on fixing it and slows upward growth as well as repairs the stem.. when the stem is back to good a day or so later it'll be a bit stronger..if you keep repeating it every few days on certain spots it'll be almost impossible to pinch with just fingers alone because it gets brute strength haha. its kind of like working your muscles out..u rip them and they repair even stronger every time.

As for the location, if you check my first few posts u can see the spot its hiding in.. in the closet behind a pizza box fabricated to fit the area. half the time I don't keep the box on anymore, only when I leave for a few hours so nobody will notice the light shining in there. It was getting too hot as well.. but now that I have the AC its gonna be str8 to close up at all times again.

Cloning would be fun but I don't really have the lights or room for a separate veg/flower box...maybe in the future Ill set something like that up..not till I have my own place though.

This is strictly for trial and error to see how everything works with MJ. Its so much fun so far!

Are you clear on exactly how to top? lemme know i can explain a little on what I did.

things are looking excellent bro... is the shit still yellowing out with all them spots or what?

Since i started the shitty but ok miracle grow food..it seems to have exploded in growth and the yellowing seems to have slowed..but a lil too early to tell still..the spots i think are more of a potassium prob now that Ive done even more research..but the MG plant food has a rating of 15-30-15 so im sure itll be helping more than when I was using nothing...no signs of nute burn either so thats a plus.. Thanks for the comment ! still glad its working out nicely...

Well I topped my tall plant today. I looked at your picture of your topped plant and did a little research and I *think* I did it properly. We'll see!

nice grow lookin good i just posted some pics on mine

 

[jjf1978]

I'm dying for an update!!

 

[TrialAndErrorMan]

AYE AYEEEEEEEEE Wow this one grew so big out of nowhere...the fan leaves were minute just 2 days ago..now they are blowing up!

Today is week 5....! preflowers soon I hope!

After using the air condition and MG with 15-3-15..they really have improved so much and have a nice dark full green hue..

 

[TrialAndErrorMan]

So finally..the timer gets installed. At about 8:00 tonight, the lights go off!!!!!!!!!!! I started to run out of room horribly so I couldn't even imagine after I start flowering. So it is finally time. I may have to get rid of one of the plants if they both turn out to be fem. =[

 

[jjf1978]

Woo finally flowering huh? I'm stoked to see if they are females. Damn that would suck if they were both females and you had to get rid of one I guess it could be worse if they were both males!!!

I have to install my exhaust fan properly and make sure no light gets in / out of my flowering room and I'm going to flower my plants as well!

By the way, those two plants ya got there look really nice, if one is a fem and you have to destroy it, send me a clone!

I think I saw some preflowers that look to be female on both but its too early to tell...thats why I decided to flower as well =]

 

[TrialAndErrorMan]

Heres a couple shots of day 2 flower...some of the stems are starting to bulk up with growth..
I think one is going to turn male tho because of some of the characteristics of the node/branch junctions having that almost see through glow that eventually turns into pollen sacks...sort of like this.

Anyways heres some pictures of mine.. As you can see, I'm running out of horizontal space..but thats life..

What do you guys think?

 

[goingreen2008]

since a plant grows around 2 feet in 2 months of flowering whats a good length to start flowering?

well I haven't taken a height measurement in over a week but just a week or so ago they were only reaching 9-10 inches tall...My space is prob about 5 ft vertical so I'm assuming Ill be OK height-wise but the bushing out factor will be tuff to manage. I was going to flower way sooner but got greedy hehe. The plants were 36 days when I started to flower.

good luck homes

 

[goingreen2008]

Indica or sativa?


Reason Why: grew a sativa for around 1 1/2 months and then started 12/12 she was around 17" maybe more really dont remember exact ".

anways she is now 32" ......had her in flower for around 2 weeks and at the end of the two weeks i went out of town well my girl went behind me and turned the fuckin air off COMPLETELY and fried one and left me with the 32" Note running 400w mh with 400w hps)............so i took the 32" out of 12/12 for about a week and just ran the mh. I have around 5 feet and wondering if she is too big and wont fit.

i know this is a fucked up situation but it is my first time and if it hadnt been for my dumb ass girl going behind me i wouldnt even be posting this bull shit.

Looking good mate. Have you been able to tell if you got girls or what? I checked your message bout the branching around the node area bulking up and getting see thru. I had two of my plants doing the same thang, and they both turned out female, showing sex just last night, and more predominantly today, so I have 5 of 6 females, and one I am pretty sure is a female, she just a lil younger than the rest. But your bout a week into flower right? Sounds like we are right about the same place. What kinda flower nutes have you been using and with what success?

today marks the 3rd time of being off so day 3. I m just using Fox Farms Big Bloom that my buddy mixed for me. and also some miracle grow bloom booster 15-30-15 that I used at the end of Vegg. I have about a tablespoon in a gallon of water for the MG and the same with Fox. also I have another gallon jug with about 2 tablespoons of fox.. Trial and error..im not sure how they are going to work but so far no problems, Ive watered them the first day with the MG but then the 2nd watering I started to use the fox farm. Im going to look at them right now after the light was off all night..

Im seeing slight preflowers but still not too sure what they are..they look sorta pear shaped like a calyx but its still too early to tell the real deal.. they are too small to get in a pic..
