First Grow w/ Bagseed, CFL, and T5

Hello. This is my first grow. I started 13 weeks ago with bagseed planted in coco coir. I started out with one 50watt CFL and then added 3 more.

Oh and this is not the plant at 13 weeks. LOL. I have more pictures and I am going to upload them several at a time.

I let them veg for 5 weeks. Within a week of switching to 12/12 3 of my plants turned out to be male. My smallest of the 4 was the female. She showed pistils 2 weeks after switching to 12/12. So I am thinking she has been flowering for 6 weeks.

I hope I am posting on here in the correct way. This is my first time interacting on a forum.

I dont remember exactly when but at some point in these pictures I added a 4 foot 4 bulb T5HO fixture.

Forgot to add the pictures.

Here are my latest picture from this week. It seem like she is still growing and the buds are getting bigger. I'm guessing this plant might take another 4+ weeks. I have been using Fox Farm nutrients this whole time as well. Thanks and I will keep this updated.

I was wondering if I should trim the plant at all. Also I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

I wouldnt suggest trimming but Im not an expert. Your plants look very good, I may be running a similar setup pretty soon

Thank you. Thanks for the advice.

More fan leaves = more bud bro. Looks very healthy especially for a first timer. You got a very sativa lady right there treat her right and she will return the favor with some knock your socks off smoke. Just have to be patient sativas take longer than indicas to finish. Patience will pay off young grass smoker .

I think your doing pretty good! The only advise I would give you is "less is more". What I mean by that is don't over trim, don't over feed! I made major mistakes when I first got started and I just had to realize that I have to just allow the plant to do what it's gonna do. It really needs minimal help we just have to take care of it. Make sure no bugs are bothering the plant that its getting it's light on a consistent schedule and give it nutrients to stay healthy and promote growth.

Thanks Skunkybud and ProjectGo for the input and compliments. I definitely am having my patience tested with this plant. I want it to hurry up. I'm worried that I don't have hardly any tricromes on the plant yet. If I take a picture of her with a flash I can see it looking a little frosty right around the bud sites but not nearly as much as I've seen on other plants on this site.

I wouldn't expect the frostiest best grade A indo on your 1st attempt man. But it will still be good and better than most commercial going around if you properly dry and cure it the potency will be there even if you can't see it. Don't let it get to you.

Lol. True. I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. I have ordered some seeds for my next grow so hopefully some good genetics will help me out in the tricrome department also. What do you think.

I think your gunna get this grow under your belt you will gain more knowledge from it than anything. And your next go around will go a lot more how you 1st anticipated when you started. Best of luck to you man and congrats on doing 1st time inside. I been growing since I was 13 and I started outside. If you ever wanna get a nice big yield start some around decemeber/January inside on a vegetative stage and then put those ladies outdoors around may/june (depends where you live). Honestly I've gotten some of the best bud I've ever smoked from stuff that was grown outdoors. I just think its funny now adays I go to get a bag of mids of someone for like 15 1/8th and they call it "outdoors" that word just bothers me when you use it to describe weed. Anyway this was one of my 1st real nice successes in growing and that was when I was 18 I believe so it took me 5 years before I had a good hang of things. Sorry I don't have a harvest pic to show you man but this was like half way through around the beginning of august 2009. I started this blueberry x OG kush clone around febuary under 4 23 w cfls. Me and my friend put it outside and we got a HP of it and we each got a qp out of it dry weight. This next year I plan on starting in January and veg and lst until june and I'm gunna put them outside i'm gunna try to compete with all these cali guys to prove you can grow a lb or 2 off 1 plant even in NH. But if you don't got anywhere outdoors to work with keep doing what your doing and you will have your own nice homegrown in no time bro.

lol forgot to post the pic

hey man im using more cfls than you but my plants are sort of shitty. i think its due to heat stress and lack of ventilation maybe a lil nute burn too. anyways your girls are gorgeous keep up the good work.

Thanks! Good luck to you and your plants. Got any pics?
