First Ever Grow... Bagseed Unknown Strain

Hello all! A few weeks ago I decided to start my first grow. I found a seed in a bag of some of the best bud ive ever smoked, so i thought that'd be a good way to go. Unfortunately i only have enough resources to grow one plant for now so if it's a male, it will serve only as a learning experience.

I have it under 2 26 watt CFL's and a small fan for ventilation... its also kinda a stealth grow, i dont want anyone local to know about it... i am currently growing behind my couch but i will be moving it to the basement when it gets too big.

This is my girl (hopefully) as of now...












So, That's the progress so far. I am limited on money so all the advice i can get is appreciated.

How does it look so far? Any suggestions or comments?

Also, Can anyone tell me if its ready for nutes? what kind will give me the best growth?

anyone? please? lol

It looks really good. Keep up what you are doing. I woulden't give it nutes until you start flowering

Ok, i wasn't sure about the nutes because ive been searching through the grow journals and i've seen alot of nute-burned plants because they started adding nutes too early... can anyone tell me if this is indica or sativa? i kinda wanna know how big its gonna get so i can make a box

also i have my plant on 24hour light and i read that the plant will show signs of sex automatically if it is on 24/7... true or not?

It won't tell the sex until you go into the flowering stage. 12/12. I don't know the strain. Sorry. I wish I knew what mine is.

Yes it will If you leave it in the veg stage youll eventually see what are called pre flowers. TEENy tiny nuts for a male and small hairs on a female where her branches connect,.

your plant appears to be an indica. No one on eart could tell you the strain just by guessing @ a random seed in some weed though man.

I am not a 100% but i hate to break it to you but to me it looks like on that last picture there are some balls forming in the middle of your plant bro, i have never seen balls form right there at such a young age, but just FYI keep an eye on it, or maybe some close ups of the Nodes? maybe be able to tell, but usually most plants only show sex on 12/12 or they show preflowers like the other guy said. Just a thought. Good luck!

yeah i didnt mean to ask the strain i know thats impossible to figure out from bagseed lol, but if its indica thats good they stay smaller right?

also if i wanna be sure about the sex could i just put it into 12/12 now and then put it back into veg if its a female?

here is a closeup... any thoughts?

It looks more like leaf uncurling than balls. You may not be able to tell until you switch to 12-12. Make sure you have plenty of root room, I read somewhere that if you start your plants with lots of taproot room, at least 4 inches, you will end up with a majority of females. I tried this, and I am growing 6 for 6 females. 2 of them were feminized seeds though.

thats what i thought too, that they were curling leaves but i thought he may have been talking about something else so i wanted to make sure... i think im gonna wait a few weeks to switch it to 12/12 and if its a male then oh-well i'll start over.

Your plant looks very healthy. I think it is going to be a girl for sure. I will be watching your progress. Happy growing.

Ya def curling leaves my bad man was not trying to steer ya wrong, but that other photo it was hard to tell fo sho. Anyways good luck and i will keep an eye out on this one! Cross ur fingers for a baby girl!

So, last night I dropped the damn thing, i thought it was gone for sure but i only lost one leaf. I will show pics tomorrow/later of where the damage has been done. also the tips of the points along a few leaves are turning brown, i dont know what it is or how to correct it so when i add pics tomorrow or later, maybe you guys could help?

Fortunately it is still growing, so thats good

also is my lighting sufficient? i have 2 26 watt CFL's... will i need more for flowering?

also thankyou to all who are posting and helping me out on my first grow. SUBSCRIBE!!! lol

more lights are always better bro. I did pretty well with a 150 watt hps for start to flower then 2week into flower got a 400 watt hps balast. Maybe we could arrange a sale if ur interested, pretty damn cheap. But cfls are def more affordable and fairly easy to setup too. Get like a 120 Watt 6500K for veg and then switch it to 2700 K for Flower. Good Luck man!

how much for that setup? i might just be interested... I wouldn't use it for this grow but when i move in to my new apartment in March i will be dedicating a whole room to growing s do you know if the soft white lights are the 2700k? i cant find on the package where it the spectrum is. if so im using the wrong lights for vegging... maybe i should throw the thing in to flowering now if thats the case?

Umm well which setup, you can get a brand new setup through HTG for less than a 100 dollars shipped, i payed 150 shipped for my 400 watt hps lamp bulb and ballast. So they are inexpensive if you know where to shop. But as far as the 2700k bulbs its in a pack of 5 or 6 and its green, on the bottom shelf at my wallmart. Fairly cheap too. Hope i am of some help!

In fact check it out, you can't beat this price!!
