indeed my friend! this has been a trial run all the way, and a pretty successful one! As many mistakes as I can make on this one is good really! I would rather learn on bagseed... Honestly though im enjoying the grow more than I ever thought I would.

Indeed, most bagseed has very good genetics. It is just usually grown in mass quantity and loses some of the quality as a result. Your closely controlled conditions and abundance of light should make for some kickass buds!!

too many ppl on this site hate on bagseed- I think its a wildcard... just gotta accept it- but you could get some great shit with it! specially if you can grow it right...

Nature vs. Nurture...

ok, before we get too far gone on bag seed.... while some decent bud can come from it.... this aint no fuckin Northern Lights, eh ;)

out of some 20 or so bag seed sprouts i have had at least 6 distinct types of plant come up (funny that, eh? i really thought i was using seed from only two bags!) and out of that variety i have managed to grow some really good smoke... but i would call precisely 1 of the resulting plants "ok".

when i grew from goooooood genetic clones they were all beyond ok ;)

my point is, bagseed grows, cures and smokes... and it is cool as shit to grow something that hands down beats the product it came from.... but when you do actually get the seeds you want of a "real" strain that fits your grow style and your head needs.... well, at that point you will know what i am babbling about ;)

I'm torn with the bag seed. My thinking has changed and I'm not such a fan anymore. It has it's place for folks who can't afford genetics or someone who just wants to throw some seeds in a pot and set it in the backyard on a whim, but I think anyone who can afford to buy seeds should do it, even for a first grow. Growing is such an investment in time and risk and money that it seems silly to cheap out on some seeds if a person as options.

well in my case I have a ton of bagseed from some good bud... as ive stated before in this journal I have had the oportunity to get seeds from good bud. it isnt my intention to grow bagseed though. but i do plan on using it as a tool to learn and make the inevitable rookie mistakes. through this grow I have learned a lot and plan on doing things much diffreintly next grow. what I am doing now is very small in comparison to what I am planning next...
here is the seed I plan on ordering KAL-X this could change but as of right now its my seed of choice.. what yal think?

sounds good- thats gonna be a real heavy smoke... and a short grower good for indoor-

Personally I think I am looking at Northern Lights, Afghan, AK-47. These are like founding father genetics... well used and established cross-breaders that have made some of the worlds best varietys and mixes... Just seems stable and reliable- like my second grow will need... Third grow- i am thinking a tricky sativa, either White Widow, or Jack Herrer, both tricky plants to grow, but thats two grows from now...

I wish we could all meet up and share man- cuz i wanna try that KAL-X now too lol...

Keep up the grow and pics man, I am down with your educational bagseed trial run, i am doing the same.

the Kal-X looks yummy! gotta love some hash plant!

i am with OB on the NL fondness though... i am pretty sure a lot of that comes from that was the strain i grew "back in the day".... but a few months ago i was looking to see what genetics i would use today to do what i was doing back then.... NL still came up as the best choice on paper.

anymore though, i just want to have lots of different kinds... the difference between growing for profit and growing for pleasure.... sure wish i lived on the left coast!

My journal im afraid is getting a lil thin... Work is kicking my ass, but that is what I need from it so that is good in the end.. but the journal suffers, mind you its just the journal Im still devoted to my plants more than i ever was in my marriage (might have had something to do with the divorce!)
Ok here are a couple of pics. the first two are from my best looking plant... the third is of the plant I abused.. it still doesn't look happy but the bud is growing in fact the last pic is of the top bud.





Im so ashamed of what ive done to my girl.....:roll:

not to worry OB, although I might get a lil gappy when life gets hectic, I plan on having quite a few grow journals! I will keep this one going right up to the point I smoke the bud and grade myself..

Damn, I was going to say I was slacking on my journal too but it was because nothing much has happened since the last update. Looks like your buds are moving along a little faster than mine. Hope I'm not rootbound or something. That injured plant should come around. My fastest growing plant got mangled, completely split in two at the base. It didn't skip a beat.
