 First grow -CFL - bagseed - 250w hps flowering 
#695524 - 11/25/13 07:55 PM (10 years, 4 months ago) |
|

i know CFL's are horrible and i should switch but i started this grow for free basically since i already had all the supplies other than soil and nutes.
grow tent 3x3 70+inch tall
Plant 1 - sprouted 10/29 - showing signs of female pistils&cloned 11/23
Plant 2 - sprouted 11/2
11/25
 
having some problems with the bottom fan leaves they started with little yellowish/brown spots and now this. anyone know whats wrong ?
   
12-5
threw in a bag of pearl oysters in for extra c02 and these sprung up overnight
added a t5 and they are looking pretty good. the small plant smells like straight skunk im going to have to build a carbon air scrubber soon.
  
12/12-pics taken 12/10
got a pure kush clone from a friend
 
plant 1
plant 2 fungis ?
 
put them under on 12/12 on 12/16 with a 250watt hps and they are doing a lot better but the small one turned out to be male. sucks cuz it really stinks and i really like how it grew (nice and bushy).
12/23
plant 1
plant 2 male
 
12/30 flowering - 2 weeks .
  
week 3 of flowering height= 3 foot aprox
 
week 4 - 1/10
    
1/17 week5
main top cola (looks like i got a quite a while before she finishes)
-
random shots
    
1/29 week6
looks like they are still filling in. smells really sweet Very low smell pheno. smells like lemoney pine sol when touched.
     
and heres some shroom on shroom action.
2/10 the top colas and leaves are turning purple (probably due to the humboldt counties own Purple Maxx) but sadly im gonna cut her down in a few days cause she is throwing out too many bananas .
   
heres a clone of the bagseed that i lst'd and another clone that i put straight to flowering .
 
3/15
nug shots from the first grow
 
ducksfoot x lowsnow
 
Pure Kush
bagseed clone at week 5

nice man  interested in seeing how the flourescents work out for you
now dont quote me on this but the leaf problem could be the early signs of a messed up pH.....tho before you take any precautions look it up yourself and possibly get another opinion as i could be 1000% wrong

Looks like the pH to me as well, I also use CFL's. Ironically same dimensions only my cabinet has an adjustable shelf and can at this point only raise up to 4ft. I will be watching how it comes out, cheers mate.

To beat a dead horse, the leaf problem to me was an immediate indication if PH mis-balance. i've burned some plants before with nutes, ouch! :ouch:
could also be the lights were too close. the 'fungus' looked like the beginnings of the ph burn, or light burn.
anyways those last two points were pretty moot, just felt like adding. as for your last question about the smell, wait till you have visible colas. you will then be like 'how the fuck do i kill this smell' lol.

ty for your input. i think it was the ph that was the problem cuz once i balanced it out the leaf problem went away and now is doing great. i hope it stinks REAL good once the colas form.

Good Growing bro!

Nice man. 3ozs is definitely a good haul from a bagseed plant.
Congrats brother. Cant wait to see the pics!

yea but it started to smell like a hint of skunk with a bunch of super lemony pinsol. the first 4-5 days of drying it smelled almost like grass clippings but now is starting to smell quite good(i really hope it tastes as good as it smells.) Although i had to chop her down earlier than i would have liked i am still pretty happy with the results. running the ak-47/ducksfoot x lowsnow/ jack herer for my next grow.
heres what it looked like right before i started to cure i believe i got the moisture content almost perfect and i really like phychotrons tek for drying and curing.
heres a better shot of a nug to show you some of the trichromes

total weight was 69.3 and i tried some last night after 7 days of curing and i got to say i was pretty impressed with the results. although after the first hit it tasted like a cashed hit it burned very good and ground up nicely. the smell isnt anything impressive until you grind it up than it smells like lemony pinsol goodness with a hint of sour. i really hope the smell develops more as it cures planning on doing atleast a 2 months cure with more than half of it and curing 1/4 of it for 6 months.
after a 7 day cure
strain- bagseed
looks-7 nothing special but doesnt look bad
smell-3 it only smells if you open a nug or grind it up but once you do it smells like a 8 out of 10
smoke-8 wasnt harsh at all. burned nicely.
taste-1 first hit doesnt taste bad lets just say that
high-3 instantly high. felt like my eyelids were being closed by mini weights. tired and SUPER lazy that mid day nap type shit. lasted only about a hour and half. i feel very unmotivated to do anything which is why i dont really like it.
after effect- you just want to sleep or lay there.
il only be smoking this when i want to sleep in the middle of the day or knock out at night.

That's kind of weird for it to taste so funky. I've never heard of home-grown tasting straight up bad, assuming it was seeded from bud that tasted good originally.
Do you remember which bag of weed the seeds came from and what that tasted like originally? I'm concerned because I'm doing my first grow with bagseed as well, but mine came from some shitty mexican weed loaded up with seeds and stems. I couldn't even get the true taste of most of those buds because they were broken off the corner of a brick. If your lemony smelling buds don't taste good I fear for my little crappy ones.
I'm betting that the smoothness is owed to using that curing/drying tek. That's what I planned on following when I get there, looks legit. I bet if you keep curing it the taste will improve too, perhaps the high as well.

yup not bad at all for a first timer and considering it came from a bagseed. although its not top shelf it still beats out my buddies stuff by a long shot (and he has grown over 5 cycles).

CFL lights aren't so bad for a first time, especially if ya can't afford the initial layout and don't have room or ventilation for an HID system.
