This journal will help me more than it helps you. It will give me a place to document my grow and post a few of the thousands of pictures I take. My grow room is where I reside so I'm there all the damn time. Anyways lets cut to the chase. This is my first grow. 70% FFOF 30% Perlite (the auto has dol lime mixed in also, not the bagseeds) Feeding Nectar of the Gods Nutrient line. To be honest I feed the plants whatever the hell I want within reason and they haven't burned yet. Makes me wonder... These are currently flowering under roughly 100w cfl in a ghetto, but well engineered box. The big one is Tina, she smells like sausage, and just started frosting up. The solo is Amber, she has a sweet smell at the stems but we all know smells can change as the plants flowers. The auto Northern Lights is under 250w Apollo Horticulture Veg light (i think the actual wattage is 180) I have a flowering bulb I will switch to when pistils show. Her name is Djuna. I'm going to try to do a circular lst on this one and see how it goes. As of yesterday, it is 15 days from sprout. Think I splashed and burned it at one point, either way pulled the affected leaves once I decided they weren't benefitting anymore and it didn't seem to slow growth. I've decided I won't mind being a little adventurous is this one being that it's a generally resilient plant. I'll post a pic after I tie a little more down.
This is Djuna, Northern Lights Auto Fem 16 days in. I'm gonna lst the shit out of this plant. Seeing what these CFLs can do with all the buds right up on em. "I remember going half on a dime sack"
Came in yesterday to find Tina a bit thirsty, how 3 hours can make a difference. Amber is doing what she does. Spread those fan leaves some more on Djuna. Getting as much light on the tops as I can. Seems to be working well. Day 17. "I remember going half on a dime sack"
Djuna Day 19 Maybe a light burn after watering, may clip those leaf tips if they get any worse. Not sweating it too much though. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
Tinas buds stacking and frosting up nicely I think. Seeing some amber pistils. Guess I should go ahead and order that scope now. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
Djuna us moving right along, I feel like she may be a bit behind. Did some figures she's actually on day 27. Should be seeing pistils soon but I feel like CFLs delay growth. Eh, investigating LEDs. It's already hard enough to deal with the heat, but winter is coming and LEDs should run pretty cool anyways. Let's see how much money I'll have to drop. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
Just decided Pineapple Express will be the next auto in the cycle germinating on the 25th, Bubblelicious following a month after that. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
Djuna, day 29. Switched to the 2700K bulb two days ago, growth still moving right along but still no signs of flower. I'm a patient guy its all good.
Started the turn on Djuna today. Doing something similar to this, just experimenting with lst. Seems like a good way to maintain even spacing for all the tops. That's if it grows tall enough to be worth keeping it low. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
Lots of new pistils coming in, which technically means more Buds? Which may mean the stretch is finished and buds will begin packing on soon? Maybe I'm reaching lol. But I did notice some yellowing bottom fan leaves. Whatever, those pistils came in a day before I fed so I imagine that growth had to be supplemented from somewhere. Frost spreading to fan leaves. Maybe it's a little much but I'll remember this plant forever no matter what happens. Never seen shit like this man its amazing. Remind me to always update high. Anyways here's some Tina porn. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
Okay im in, You seem to be pretty well informed on LSTÃng, I'll check back with you once my plants get to that stage.
Going to start throwing these two under the 250w CFL I'm the mornings. Using the other 160 something watts in the ghetto box for Djuna since she's smaller (and still not showing pistils). I'll be out of town this weekend. I've already went to the 2700k to encourage flower. Come Friday if nothing changes. I'll put her on 12/12 until I return on Sunday and see how she takes it. Expected to be a little slow with it being CFLs but I'll do what I can. Today is day 30 for Djuna I believe. Next week I'll be grabbing a Mars 300 LED. Amped about that (no more heat issues!). Never imagined a bagseed would frost up like this. Props to my connect for bringing the dank. Djuna moving right along. Great growth rate in my opinion. Lots of new tops coming in trying to make room! Bent a little more today. She's holdin on! That's all I got for today. Pineapple express going in the water Thursday. Paper towel Friday (then out of town). Hopefully in the dirt Sunday. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
Day 32 Djuna started flowering but Tapatalk was being childish and I didn't feel like messing around with the website. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
Watered yesterday. Runoff PH is damn near perfect! Tina is kicking ass. Buds still packing on and getting a lil swell. Amber is frosting up now but she's obviously not the class favorite. Pics plus porn. Tina Amber http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
Djuna Day 32. Wanted to do a better lst but in hindsight I see how that's a bit foolish with an auto. Tops are still even so I'm not tripping. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
Djuna (Northern Lights Auto Fem) is 35 days today. I'm out of town until tomorrow night so I chose to experiment with my light schedule. While listening to free weed pod they were discussing the phenotypic expressions brought out by the 11/13 light cycle. So I out all three plants on it until I get back. My thought process is that if the plant thinks the days are getting even shorter despite the 12/12 they're under now, they may speed up the budding a bit to compensate for the shorter days but who knows just easier to have the auto under the same schedule as the photos while I'm gone. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
Also dropped Pineapple Express Auto in a paper towel yesterday before I left. Hopefully there's a tap root when I get back and it can go in soil Monday. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
So I wasn't as well prepared as I thought. Tina and Amber are guzzling water in flower. I was literally gone for 2.5 days and I peaked in on em, the leaves were insanely drooped. Still green, but drooped. Water and they should bounce back. I'll try to take pics but I'll have a busy ass morning.
Djuna was a beast while I was gone. Also looking thirsty but not as extreme. Haven't fed since flower though so mixing will be on my schedule in the morning. I'll get pics then. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
So I said eff it, ima flash em but its for their own good. 7 hrs might mean life or death, or it might not but I'm not about to find out. Damn it was a lil worse than I thought, but I still think they'll bounce back in due time. I'm interested as to what the morning will bring, hopefully happier plants. Tina Amber Djuna Also got a new toy. 50x to 500x digital led scope. Ima be looking at a tricomes asshole lol $26 same day shipped (I'm impatient, ironic I know) amazon. Haven't tried it yet but I'll be sure to post results http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1383387-2-Bagseed-Northern-Lights-Auto-250w-CFL
