New Grow HPS 250W, Random Bagseed!

Hey everyone,

Finally got a real light setup, this is my first real attempt at growing. I have grown in the past using T5 lights but it never worked out according to plan.

My Ladies are 22 days old as of July 4th. I am growing under a 250w MH bulb for vegging and I have a 250HPS bulb for flowering.

I am using Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil with Fox Farm Big Bloom nutes that I just started giving the plants half a table spoon per gallon, per watering, which is less than half the dose labeled on the bottle, but im working up the strength slowly.

Hopefully I get to start flowering soon. It seems like the ladies are growing really slow, they are just now shooting off side branches.

I have 4 ladies total under my light, 2 of them I havent trained at all, 1 I have LST'ed. and 1 I have topped the new growth.

Not to shabby my son, Not to shabby at all, squire

I went ahead and LSTed all 4 of my plants, along with the 1 that I topped a couple days ago. Side branch growth should take off now, and in a week or two I should be able to transplant into bigger containers. So hopefully in 3 weeks from now at the most ill be able to flower!

Also was wonder what people think, are these more indica or sativa dominate?

Hey everyone! Its been a few days since I LST'ed all my plants and the side branches are exploding. Any comments, thoughts, concerns?

Here is the biggest one, and the one that I topped and LST'ed. As you can see its putting out 4 new branches at the top of the plant.


Here is pictures of the rest of the plants, all I did to the rest of them was LST only.

lookin good man keep up the good work!...... you will ABSOLUTELY LOVE the final smoke results when vegged with MH and flowered with HPS

I just hope I can get a decent yeild what with these being just "random bagseeds." Funny thing is I really expected these seeds to be all sativa, but by the thickness of the leaves I am starting to think they might actually have some indica in them.

I am going to have to go pick up some bigger containers soon too they are busting out of these 6 inch containers. I just want dont want to stress them again. My last round I started out with 6 plants and wound up with 5 males. So I really hope this time that I do not get all males with only 4 plants, and a month of time invested.

you should get a decent yeild i have done some random BAG SEED before but i used a 400MH for veg and a 400HPS for flower and i got an amazing yeild for the size that 5 girls i did that time..but i have a lot of growing experience being a landscaper for a living over 15 years.. and been growing MJ for medical purpose for 3 years and growing MJ for almost 8 years... but i think you should get a pretty decent yeild ...........and good luck man i hear ya would not be fun to get males after all the work gettin them to that stage... HOPE YOU GET FEMALES!! AND NO MALES keep up the good work

HAPPY GROWING

Another update! Day 30.

So my biggest girl just started to put out interlacing nodes! I read that this means it is most likely a female! Unfortunately the 3 other girls are not developing interlacing nodes. Does that mean that I Have 1 female and 3 males? Or do some females not develope interlacing nodes? I would really hate only having one female again! Anyone have any input?

Also here is a picture of the one girl with interlacing nodes.

I finally changed my light schedule to 12/12, and replaced the MH bulb with a 250watt hps bulb! Today is day 3 of flower, and still no sign of any preflowers yet, but the plants just look different. They look like they are about to bust out some flowers really soon. I also tranplanted them into 3 gallon containers a few days before I changed the light schedule.

These first four pictures is the plant that got topped along with the LST treatment. This plant is also the only one with alternating nodes and also the only plant that is starting to get a faint musky smell.




These next one is another plant that only got LST.



This one I just continued the LST Training and bent over the main stem as it grows more.

My light system is a interchangeable, only one bulb at a time but it takes both MH and HPS.
