Stevebass's Second Indoor - Bag Seed - Grow

[stevebass]

Welcome All!

This is my second journal which I begin with great anticipation. I feel I learned sooo much from my first grow, and my growing conditions are now more controllable, things should be ideal this time around.

I'm still at the seedling stage. I germed some bag seed a couple of weeks ago. The larger seedlings will be up-potted to 8 Gal pots soon. I'm using the same soil, nutes, and light as my first grow. The first nine healthy seedlings will be chosen to move on. I plan to fim each one at least once as I only anticipate 4-5 females. I'm hoping to SCROG too. Enjoy the ride!

Rollin', rollin', rolling... Get that journal rolling! That's a poop load of bagseeds. I imagine some will be male so good job on increasing the odds. Keep up the good work and...

KiG cheers

It seems my photo upload issues are solved! Here are the plants a couple of weeks ago. The largest one turned out male so it got chopped. I will post new photos soon. I'm currently working six plants in their final buckets. Two of them are female and the others aren't showing preflowers just yet. Three of them are a week younger. Five got FIMed, and the youngest is topped.

Here they are today, girls front right.

 

[Mitchazzle]

Looking good man. You've been subbed

 

[stevebass]

Found a male yesterday, and got my last seedling transplanted into a pot. I'm now sitting at three confirmed females (front of pics), one suspected male, one suspected female, and one seedling. Once my two suspects show more then I think I'll start decreasing the light hours and switch my bulb. Then I'll get to finally SCROG. Most of the FIM jobs worked so I'm hopefull for a good harvest.

 

[stevebass]

Alright I'm now sitting at five. One female for sure, with another suspected one. Two of them may be male, and the last one is still a couple of weeks from preflower. I started scrogging yesterday. If all goes well my plants will be four feet tall in the end.

 

[stevebass]

The tent is less crowded now. Two girls and one unknown left. Scrogging is going well.

 

[stevebass]

So preflowers have finally shown on the youngest plant and it appears to be a lady. Yesterday I switched the bulb to HPS and began subtracting an hour of light per day until I get down to 12.5/11.5. Scrogging has gone well so far. Looks like one indica and two sativas.

 

[Stinky Snid]

And the herd has been thinned. Go job so far Steve How does the scrog work for plants that aren't trained for an even canopy? I've never done scrog before, does it help keep the top cola down while the rest catches up? Looking good though!

KiG cheers

Thanks Snid! You have the idea of scrog figured out. I used it as my LST. The sativa (back right) was fimmed and had thinner branches so it worked well with her.

 

[stevebass]

The ladies have been in 11.5 hours of darkness now for a few days. The stretch began yesterday.

 

[stevebass]

Well the stretch is slowing down and Flower production is picking up. I started giving them optical since the one in the front right was showing signs of magnesium deficiency. That seems to have worked.

 

[ibrokeit]

going thru your journal and they are looking great.

 

[stevebass]

Only a few more weeks to go! Hairs are starting to brown and each lady has her own distinct smell. I also have a couple of super lemon haze seedlings on the go waiting to go outside soon.

 

[stevebass]

I'm starting to get Fall colours and the colas are filling in. All three have distinct smells and the trichs are starting to form. Probably three weeks to go.

 

[stevebass]

Coming down to the final couple of weeks. I used the nutes at half strength last week and began flushing yesterday. Still waiting for more trichs. All of them smell like pine-sol.

 

[stevebass]

Crystals are forming and my patience is being tested. Trichs are still mainly clear with no amber. I flushed for the last time today. Maybe a week left to go. They'll probably be harvested at different times from what I can see so far.

 

[dirt mcgert]

looking good over here
Better late then never.

 

[stevebass]

Slow going around here these days. It could be another week at this pace. Of the three the indica's trichs are furthest along and are showing some cloudiness. A few days ago I took the colas from the sativa on the front right but it's definitely not far enough along.
