Space Monkey From Bag-seed

I found 5 seeds in a bag of flower and decided to give them a chance. This was my first grow using an LED lamp.

- 5x5 Tent
- AC Infinity 8 bar grow light
- Bio365 Bio-All soil
- Biobizz Nutrients
- Tap water (de-chlorinated)

I vegged for 6 weeks. The first 5 weeks were under t-5 fluorescents doing LST as needed. I wasn’t sure at the time how much they would stretch.

A week or so prior to flowering I put them in the tent under the 8 bar light on 40%. A couple days later increased to 50% and worked my way up to full strength.

Above pictured is 6 plants. The plant in the middle front is a White Runtz plant from bagseed that turned out to be male. I pulled it.

I built these cages with coat hangers, hemp string, stakes, tape, and wire.

I placed the cages over the tops at about 10-14 days into flower. I didn’t know what to expect stretch wise. I thought maybe 2.5x-3x. My two sativa phenos were a lot taller. Stretching upwards five weeks into flowering!

I made these cages to have the benefits of the Scrog method but I also have the ability to pull the plants out when watering and when trimming undergrowth. I can also rotate the plants to get different angles of light.

Pictured above is one of the sativa pheno. Even with the LST it got 6’ tall!!

The 2 tall sativas I put in the corners of the tent and let the colas grow between the LED bars. Not ideal but didn’t have a choice at that point.

I had 1 shorter, more indica plant I raised up with a shoebox. On that particular pheno I cut 5 pollen sacks off 20 days or so into flower. I almost killed the plant but decided instead to remove more undergrowth and keep a close eye on it. No more pollen sacks were found.

That’s it for now. I have some higher quality pics of the flowers that I will post soon! 🚀🐒🌱
