HPS 250w, Bagseed Flowering Cycle

Update. Day 28

The girls are still growing at a steady pace. I am a little worried about my biggest girl however, a few of her pistils are already browning. That in itself doesnt worry me but the pistils at the bottom part of the plants are turning brown from the tips in, instead of the entire pistil slowly changing shade of color. I really hope she didnt somehow get pollinated. My second plant still has 100% white hairs.



Here is a blurry picture of the lower buds with the pistil tips browning inward.

Is this normal for week 4 to have pistils already changing color? Not to mention changing color from the tips down.....

And here is a picture of my other girl, still 100% white hairs.

Hey Parsley, everything is still looking good. I'm not sure about the pistils. In my opinion, if your plant is otherwise healthy (which they appear to be) I would not be worried. What could possibly effect just the pistils? I suppose a light too close could fry them a bit. Or maybe extremes of heat and/or cold. It is not uncommon for pistils to turn brown and recede a bit throughout the flowering process. Even while new pistils are emerging. If that's the only thing going on, and there isn't any other problem, I wouldn't worry.

You could post this in the marijuana problems thread if you want some more and/or confirming opinions.

Here's a recent pic of my pistils on the Kandy Kush. You can see the pistils turning brown at the tips. I have sprayed her with both BT and Neem, which may be the culprit. Or, it could just be happening naturally. Either way, the plant is healthy and I'm not worried about it.

That plant looks really crystally. and yeah thats exactly what a few of the pistils are doing on my plant. I know it cant be from heat cause the main colas are 6 inches from the light and they have no burns, my temps arent even getting above 80 degrees. The pistils that are turning like that are on the bottom of the plant on the smaller buds. It isnt very many pistils either just a few here and there. I thought week four was too early to see red hairs already though, not to mention the plant has a lot more swelling to do before I even consider it done.

I guess I am just worrying too much, I expect everything to go perfectly and freak out at the small things. I guess its just cause I am still a noobie grower. I am expecting too much from bagseed.

So back to the waiting game, I figure I have another 30-40 days at the earliest. This wait is killing me.

I think its snowing!

Very nice parsley. I'm subd. I also have a 250 watt hps/mh. Interested in seeing what your produce.

Thanks purple, +rep to you. im hoping for an ounce off of each plant for a total of about 2 ounces. I am guessing another month on these two plants, maybe a bit longer. I hate the wait. I am starting some more seeds too so ill have something vegging under my 2x2 foot T5 flourscent while these finish up.

Plants are looking mighty fine.That 250 is doing good for them.

haha yeah much better than my first grow. My last grow was pathetic, one girl under a 42 watt and a 23 watt cfl. got a whopping 7 grams off of her lol

+rep to you wyteberrywidow

Well nowyou improved alot.Rep back at ya

Day 33
Seems like my girls have just stopped growing, im not noticing any changes. When are these things going to swell?

Your plants will stop growing tall now and start to swell no worries this is what you want.

Day 34

Yeah they definately have at least another 4 weeks I think. I noticed today how many trichomes they are pumping out. All of which are still clear.

This girl definately has more indica in her, notice how much bushier she is compared to the second set of pictures.


She is definately a pure sativa, her leaves are very long and slender.



Thank you Pablo and Wyte for your input.

Edit: haha that last picture looks like a pair of hooters. err im high.

I got a hold of some good seeds here, friend said that they are skunk. So I poped a of em and all the leaves are growing really odd. I think its a good sign.

It wont let me edit the post, was going to add a new pic.

Day 43



How much longer do you guys think I have left? 2 weeks 3 weeks? +rep to anyone with advice.
