outdoor bagseed grow

#472086 - 09/04/10 12:38 PM (14 years, 2 months ago)

I wasn't going to record the progress of this grow, but I'm really starting to like where it's headed..
Okay, in the last week of March I germinated 1 seed from a bag of some pretty fine middies. I put the seed in a wet paper towel, and wrapped it around the inside of a glass which I kept half full of water. When it started showing a small green finger, I planted it in some regular old potting soil my wife was using for tomatoes.
It came up as a pretty stout seedling, very healthy with a thick stem and good leaves. After the fourth branching, I transplanted it to a 4 gallon bucket thinking that was going to be it's permanent home. I used the FIM technique, and *Fuck I Missed* the FIM. I went to pinch the apimerical stem, and accidentally got both of the side shoots that would have become the two main stems. :homerdoh3:

Two weeks went by and nothing happened..the two leaves on top got huge, and the stem swelled very thick, but absolutely no new growth. I thought it was a lost cause, and left it alone for two weeks while I went on my honeymoon. When I came back it had grown two huge stalks out of one side of the stem.

Of course I started feeding it right away with a 12-6-4 fert.. The two big leaves were bug eaten and about dead, and blocking light from the new growth so I trimmed them off..there was also an aphid problem, which I fixed using tobacco and water. At this point the plant just exploded, drinking lots of water, and getting fed every two weeks.
Pics from July 28th- 15 weeks from seedling..

I also took two cuttings from the lower branches that were skinnyand straggly, thinking I could clone them and at least get another bud or two outta them.
Pics from Aug 12- 17 weeks

17 weeks - Started worrying about it becoming rootbound and transplanted it into the ground, using Farmer's Gold organic ph neutral potting soil. Also sex became 100%.. she's a she! :woot:

18 weeks - See the first signs of flower, fat calyxes inside the new growth instead of leaves.. we'll call this the first day of flowering, Aug 20th. Tried to get a close up, but my camera kinda sucks for close ups.. Started feeding with 5-10-10(3 tspn/gal)and triple phosphate 0-43-0(1tspn/gal) I think that transplanting it into the ground, coupled with a temperature drop at night(51-55low) caused it to purple. I also tied down about 8 side branches so as to expose the budsites on the lower spots to more sunlight. These are pics from Aug 27th, 1 week into flower..

And here are pics from today Sept 4(day 16 of flower)

Oh yeah, remember those two cuttings from the stragglers? Here they are today. They seem to be about 10-11 days behind the mama..

Thanks to a lot of help from Mother Nature and the knowledgeable folks here, I'm lookin at a pretty decent one plant harvest I think.. Thanks Growery! :dancer:

I will keep up this log, since I have learned so much from other peoples..
