No worries. I grew a C-13 Haze last year by my windowsill. Just an experiment to see what would happenen. It got soil and water, no nutes, nadda. I grew it from around November through until I chopped it in early may. Got a couple of ounces of fluffy bud, but it was a nice high, and the taste was fantastic.
A few fuzzy shots.



I think I will donate my Barbagseed (aptly named by Mr West) to the competition. This was a seed I found in a bar in Amsterdam a few weeks ago.

How about a bagseed grow comp? If anyone can find some bagseed to grow.

My current grow is seed from previous grows from me and my partner except for the one thc bomb. Would that count as bagseed?

Here's the thing for me. I'm almost fifty seven. I grew up smoking sativa. I have a hard time handling the indica buzz during the day, it makes me to darn tired. That doesn't stop me from hitting the bong a couple of times before I head off to work and a couple of tokes from my traveling bowl at lunch. I want that up, let's do something kind of buzz. That's why I'm growing sativa.

I got ya Heads Up, one of my Fav is Silver Bubble, fantastic sweet but sativa flavour, and a real energy rip!! I like the Headband for during the day as well, nice indica, but sativa buzz round the cranium/frontal lobe.

Whatever seed you want to start with can be cool. But if you know what it is, then points will be deducted - lol (joke)

I was only kidding. I'm thinking I'm going to have an early day today. I'm working outside and the weather calls for rain. I can just see the rivers of paint flowing off the walls we will be painting. I'll suggest to the boss we do a little at a time and keep an eye on the weather. I have already been told my opinions are not wanted at work but being the person I am, I will offer it again this morning.

Anyway I'll be picking up some distilled water so I can get my beans soaking before I put them into their starter plugs tomorrow.

I will start the Barbagseed into germination today then. I do have two mangos, a NY47, and a BlackJack that came up a couple of days ago, but that was pre 600 club so can't really include them.

Have a good day.

I normally soak first, then put them in a wet paper towel in the bag. The root normally pops out fairly quickly, but Barbagseed is going straight into wet papertowel/bag.

So here it is, the Barbagseed. It's currently sitting on a warm patch on the floor in the potting shed. Let's see if anything happens to it....

Hey yall... about the MH, HPS stuff. I have experience and opinions. First off... MH will NEVER turn your plants back to veg... that has to do with the light timing... not wavelength. 12 hours of darkness a night tells them to flower no matter what light. Making nights shorter will bring them back to veg.

I think switching to MH late in flowering is too late to pack on the trichs. The best time to have MH in flowering (in my opinion) is around week 3-4. This is when I have noticed the most trichs packing on the girls and the MH will make more of them show up (from what I and others on the site have observed). However if you only give them MH during this time, you will for sure be giving up weight.

I think the best thing (like dst mentioned) is a mix of MH and HPS. You still get the weight and heft from the HPS, but you get extra sticky from the MH.

I use a 400w HPS and 250w MH. Seems to be a really good mix. The plants on the HPS side were bigger... the ones on the MH side were stickier and tastier... the ones in the middle seemed just about right. I've read also that 1:2 - MH:HPS is a good ratio. Not giving up too much weight, but still getting the trichs.

If you aren't worried about yeild at all... I would flower the whole time with MH. Have some sweet sweet buds.

Also, from what I know... HPS during veg makes the plants stretch more than using MH during veg.

Thanks for the feedback, kind of what I thought. Switching to MH during flower not so good, adding MH to HPS great.
I think I will add some cfl's next go around ;)

I ,too grew up in the 60's smoking the soaring highs of the mexican sativa's. I've been growing primarily indica's or hybrids, however, there were some sativa's in some unlabeled freeby's from nirvana...and some clones from a friend. Pictures are of the nirvana plant which I believe to be some form of skunk. I topped it once to produce two main colas and it reached about 46".....the table is 36". I liked it well enough to clone into a mother plant and I have two clones in flower and 3 in veg. The clones were about 8" to 10" tall when they went into 12/12 and they stretched to about 40". It will take 13 to 14 weeks to finish.
Have you considered some of the hybrids? They have the soaring highs of the sativas with the short flowering time of the indicas. Makes for a pleasant daytime smoke.

I have been using sannie's pitpots for germination with a 100% sucess rate, however, I just ran out and will try modified rapid rooter plugs and plant the heri's and the anesthesia today.

I just grew Sour Grape (clone only I think)... it is a mostly sativa hybrid that finished in 8 weeks. Can't argue with that. However, you can argue with the yeild I got.... trade off's I guess.

I agree, I'm getting about 1/2 the yield from indicas as from sativas. Currently there are two lady cane's in bloom (28 days) which I am looking foward to finishing, estimated at 9 to 11 weeks, which I guestimate to yield about an oz.

I apologize for the confusion but I'm not growing bagseed. I'm a couple/few weeks away from finishing this grow and my next is going to be the sativa I've been waiting to grow for months.

Again I apologize if I caused any confusion.

I'll get in on this bagseed competition. Sounds fun. lol.

I got a hold of some of two bagseed seeds I used for my last grow. They have already sprouted and been placed in rockwool, so we'll see if they make it.

Hey curious, as usual I'm curious too. That forty eight inches, how tall do you think it would have gotten without the topping? I can handle a five foot plant without a problem, after that it starts to get sketchy.

Also, I'm planning on a six plant grow. I don't want to crowd these babies if possible. I have two six hundreds, will that do the trick?

Looks really nice. How much did she yield?

The bagseed I'm growing would have been really dank if it weren't fried to a crisp in a 125 degree cabinet for a few days. Hopefully these new sprouts can make it to harvest so I know how good the bud actually is. It sure did smell good when it was healthy.

Beats me what it weighed. That was under a t-5 so the buds weren't real hard. Not long after that was taken I tied her to a shower curtain rod in the horizontal position. I bent her over and tied her down. It was like a thirty inch or so cola if I remember correctly. For some reason or other I don't weigh each plant, this grow I will. Each plant will be put into their own jars to cure. After curing I'll weigh them and tell you what I got out of this grow.

I killed off my thc bombs from my previous grow and they were looking so nice. I was growing in a closet with no way to control anything other than computer fans. So between the heat and did I mention I didn't water them for about a week? Well the heat fried them, after I made sure they were good and dry. I had a bad case of analysis to paralysis. In short I was over thinking my grow instead of just giving the poor things some water and letting them grow. For some strange reason, my one bomb and one bomb offspring really smell sour/fuely like and my previous grow of bombs smelled sweet.

It's all a mystery to me.

The 2 flowering clones (24 days) appear to have finished their stretch without being topped at approximately 44"....I'm not exact, the lights aren't on yet. The strains that I have grow tall and slim, so I can have lot of plants without being crowded.....they only take about 1 square foot of space or less. I didn't top the clones to see if I could get fatter buds with one top instead of two.....and have three more clones that will go into the bloom room tomorrow because there is a mother plant begging to be relieved of some more babies. Obviously I like this strain.
