you've shown far more patience than i ever could! :joint: for you!
lol thanks bro I appreciate it! I'm just hoping this stuff has taste. It has the head buzz but not taste unfortunantly. It's a little disapointing, but I got something for the first time :blsmoke:.

I guess the moral is, and cheetah says it best. Don't grow fucking bagseed lol!

I would be far too tempted to end this and start up again with better genetics! i am so impatient (and being spoiled does not help).

well i have started one. I have one blueberry growing in my other closet right now. It was given to me by my brother from when he had a friend who grew. I'm still waiting on my NL, if they dont showup by today odds are they have the taken by customs, and in a few weeks i'll be getting the lowryder.

Here's a pic of my blueberry that's going on right now. It's 2 days old from sprout.

that looks like a healthy looking little seedling right there!
thanks bro, I'll be hand feeding it all the way up until Stretch finishes. That should be about 12 days from now or so. After that off to the feed/drip system it goes! I will start feeding it light nutes hopefully within 15-20 days. How tall or how old is it safe till it goes under an HID light.

i put my seedlings under my HIDs right away. check out the white berry journal and you'll see when they go under HIDs (far away).

you do have to keep an eye on them and i know it goes against most advice. i just like to get them acclimated to their permanent home as soon as possible -- that way they have the maximum amount of time to recoup or recover from any stress.

sounds good man, i guess i'll throw it in as soon as i cut stretch down and give a good cleaning to the res. I will probably leave the light at the height it is now as it's pretty high up. If it starts to stretch I will be able to raise the res atleast 2-4 feet with boxes and totes and such. I should be starting a new journal by next week! Thanks for your help, +rep when I can give more out

"And so it begins again..."

(Heh, had to do that for BCMango ...lmao)

If you go putting a seedling under an HPS you will need to keep it pretty far back as they are kinda delicate still as babys,
and with a light back a ways you will sometimes see some "stretch"
I would use fluros or a CFL (or three) until they can take the heat of a HID
but what do I know...
Personally I love my bank of 4 - 2' T5s for the innocent little babies.

115 days since I first put stretch in the paper towel! It's been a long wait, and even though I learned a lot, not very happy with the results! But it's bagseed, so can't expect all that much! Thanks for the support bro, glad to hear as well your plants are getting back on track!

haha i dont want to start a new journal yet. Just giving a sneak peek of whats to come! The new journal should be here in a lil over a week or so.


Heres a pic of my mini harvest. This isn't all of the buds I have but it's probably about 1/4 of it.

Ill anxiously await it bro. I had 2 more lowryders crack and one lowryder seedling die.

strechette's buds look pretty good for being bagseed bro. Hope they get to tasting better as they cure up.

Hey, toolage I've been reading your grow journal for over two days, what a read, like a novel. I'm a newbie here and I have learned a lot from your journal with all the help people have been giving you along the way.
Thanks to you and all your supporters on a great journal.
I plan on reading some other journals that pertain to a first grow with similar techniques as I'm trying a small op in a cabinet with soil. I'm at 9+ weeks into vegging (24hrs light) an indica from bagweed. Getting ready to flower her.

I know, never grow bagweed. It just started as "hey why not".

Stretch is looking good man, not long now. Could dropping water amounts increase resins and/or crystals in her at this time? I don't remember seeing info on the amount of drip lately.

:joint: passes to all reading this journal.

Again great read, looking forward to your next journal.

incog, dood man i really appreciate all the kind words!! thats some dedication to read through 114 pages of this lol! I changed teh watering schedule to 1 drip a second, for 20 minutes 4 times a day every 6 hours. It used to be 2 drips a second, for 35 minutes 4 times a day every 6 hours.
puff puuuufffffff.....cough cough C O U G H........>>>>>>>passes back to incognito
i want some!! *steals, puff puff puff....pufff........puffffffff.....puffffff....cough cough throwup....pass*

hey tool, i have a new seedling...i'm so happy right now!!!!!
lol i just had another one sprout. I got this from my cousin who swears it's White Widow. I dont know for a fact but he's family so I'll trust his word. It sprouted last night. I'll be throwing that in as well.

I think we are both excited about our new grows, our potential is great with our non bag seeds!!!
