Trusty ol bagseed (1st IC diary)

[Dr Seuss]

I'm still pretty new to IC, but have been growing for about 2 years.
I've done the 400hps before and then had to go to a small CFL cab for awhile due to privacy. But now I'm back to a 400hps!

I built a c13 replica (24x30x72), loaded with hortilux 400hps in a hydrofarm daystar ac, all cooled with can fan RS6 HO.

I've been growing these three in FFOF with PBP grow and bloom, with Liquid Karma in all waterings.

They've all been in 3gal pots for about a week and plan on letting them go a few more day before flowering. The bigger two are about 5 weeks veg, the smaller one is a trusted bagseed at about 25 days.

Looks like you have spent some time on this project. Good luck with your grow. Bagseed is like a box of chocolate....

 

[Vdro]

its going to be a nice harvest it looks like, pbp and lk can grow some very nice looking buds

 

[Dr Seuss]

Yea, I used it for my last 2 grows in my CFL cab.
It came out cleaner and sweeter than my 1st grow with AN.

I'm hoping for at least 5-6ozs, so I probably need to let them go another week.....

 

[Dr Seuss]

They fattened up with just a few days under the 400, so I figured I better flower them before I overgrow my box... yep.



I'll keep posting pics and answering questions...

 

[Sardonic]

looking beautiful, man!

I've got 2 bagseed growing right now myself. One took 2 months before it started to actually grow haha..the other is looking quite lovely..a box of chocolate indeed.

i'll be watching

 

[Dr Seuss]

Here they are day 36 flower... I broke my camera, and I felt it pointless to post unless I could put up more pics for people.

I've developed a few problems...

"Zeta" is starting to yellow, kinda slow. I've also noticed white spots on the leaves, but no signs of any bugs on any plant....

"Delta" is pretty fat but showing a little burn. My pH fluctuated a little too much and dipped low, which I'm hoping was the problem. Since I've lightly flushed with 7.0 RO water, and have started slowly back on the nutes.

Here they are.

 

[Dr Dog]

Problems or not those are some fine looking buds

I also use liquid karma every watering, I have really noticed it working.

I will have to come back and check on some bud porn

Welcome to Icmag

 

[Dr Seuss]

I decided to cut the bush, "zeta". It took up the most space, was the most infected with spider mites, had a slight nitrogen def, and looked like it was going to take at least 16+ days...

The other 2 plants have been pulled down and tied up. The lights have been lowered and I'll give them another 8-12 days to fatten up! I'll also upload pictures as soon as the site lets me...

Zeta looks about 1.5 oz, but it had about 30 grams of trim and small popcorn buds. All the popcorn and trim is going to be boiled in butter to be used as food items.

Good looking bag seed there.

 

[Dr Seuss]

The 1st one weighed in at 42grams dry. Also about 22g in popcorn. It was cut early, and never really got thinned out which didn't help with production.

Very sweet smell to it, and a pretty smooth smoke

I cut Delta last night @ day 56, pics won't upload atm though. It looks a lot more promising with weight.

The last one is going to be cut tomorrow, I'm trying a 48hr dark period with it to see if there is a difference....

hey Dr. how much PBP grow and bloom and LK did you use per gallon? i heard their recommended doses are overkill.

 

[Dr Seuss]

hey Dr. how much PBP grow and bloom and LK did you use per gallon? i heard their recommended doses are overkill.

I used just pH balanced tap water for the first 1 week of veg.
Week 2 & 3 they got 1-tsp/gal LK every other watering.
Week 4 they got PBP grow at 3-tsp/gal once a week and 1-tsp/gal LK every watering.

Week 1 of flowering they got 1.5-tsp/gal of PBP grow and bloom. 2-tsp/gal LK every watering for all of flowering
Week 2 they got 1-tsp/gal grow and 2-tsp/gal bloom.
Week 3 3-tsp/gal bloom once. From week 3 to week 7 they got 2-tsp/gal black strap molasses every other watering.
Week 4 4-tsp/gal bloom once.
Week 5 6-tsp/gal bloom once.
Week 6 4-tsp/gal bloom once.
Week 7 3-tsp/gal bloom once, and 1-tsp/gal LK every watering.
Week 8 h20


It'd be nice if I could upload all my other pics.....

WOW....I never heard Trusty and Bagseed used in the same sentence before...



Great looking grow, amazing what a little 400watter can do

 

[Dr Seuss]

WOW....I never heard Trusty and Bagseed used in the same sentence before...

I've grown one of the plants before and it blew me away, luckily I found about 5 seeds on it and have been reusing them. This plant is still the best one I've grown, even out of seeds I've ordered.

 

[Dr Seuss]

Finally!

Finally!

Well, now that the uploads are working...

Here is delta being cut on day 56, Epsilon being cut on day 58, and the lovely cannabutter all the trim provided.

 

[Dr Seuss]

Here are a few picks of dried and a short cure in.

My biggest came off "Delta", 9.1g


Here they are 1st to last harvested (Zeta, Delta, Epsilon)

I'm trying to build a Flouro Sativa Box if you want to help... I'll be trying a few of my Zamal x Skunk Specials in there.

I also have another grow starting over here.

 

[CityKnightz]

HEy that there bagseed looks pretty good... Looks like adding another week would have made those calyxs swell a bit more. Hows the smoke anyhow??? Turn out better than the original bud?

 

[khaleel]

outstanding thread my friend! nice work
