Bagseed? Who cares? My first grow.

So.....growth has slowed down a bit and I think it was because the pot was too small.

I went and bought a larger pot...i think a 5 gallon and transplanted and sure enough the roots were lining the small pot everywhere. My plant is now almost 2 feet tall and it was in a 2.5 gallon pot. Not nearly big enough.

I didnt think that my plant would more than quadruple in size the first week in flowering. I'm not complaining though.

The plant is now in its new home. A bigger pot. Hopefully this will get growth going again and also get the leaves to stop curling down at the tips. I will post pics once the light cycle starts in 45 min.
 
ok....so i came home today and the whole plant was shriveled up and everything was dropping crazy bad. no worries.
gave it some water and it came back to life in about 3 hours. like new!

gonna give it a cup of nutrients tommorow.
 
so....my plant is now getting too big.

its keeps getting taller and taller, and I dont want to buy more lights for it.

right now its a little shorter than 2 feet tall with 8 26W CFL's and 2 42W.

Here are pics. And yes....that book in that pic is holding the wheel in place which is holding the lights. it is my ghetto way of getting the lights close.

Sooooo.....

About half of the new growth on my plant is drooping. Not sure why. All the fans leaves are healthy.

I flushed the plant last night.

Funny thing....I was so stoned that I picked my 2 foot tall plant up....and raised it super high to see if the drain holes were still dripping water. I didn't realize that the top of the plant would hit my ceiling haha. I broke the top 5 nodes off including my top cola. BUMMER! I splinted it up and we shall see what happens.

omg i laugh so much on this site, how many times have I done the same.. about 20 times man ! no shit ^^

haha ! + rep good laugh :D
 
also, the nodes i broke are doing well. all the buds are still growing and doing awesome. im hella happy. i am hoping to get a decent yield on my first independant grow. awesomeness. im most definately not sober right now.
 
the pics are week 2 of flowering. the plant stretched out a lot during these two weeks but upward growth has slowed quite a bit. the plant is filling out right now and the buds are getting bigger daily. I think im in love ha
 
update...


i got a 600 Watt HPS for the last little bit of flowering. i am almost 2 months in now and my top cola is still getting bigger, especially with the new light. new growth is everywhere.

Your grow is looking good, keep it up.
But be careful, it can be very very addictive.
I started in a little closet too.

But it can get out of hand in a hurry.


Also don't get discouraged by the fat headed naysayers who think bagseed is useless. I've grown many known breeders strains with great results, but to this day, my favorite strains to grow are a couple different phenotypes of the original bagseed i started growing with.




Sorry to crap up your journal with my pictures, i just feel they speak better than i can when i'm this high.
Those are fucking beautiful. Look how sparkly the leaves are! MMMMMmmmm, sparkles.
