Timbo's Grow Cloest- Afghan Kush and Bag Seed

TimboSlice · 11-18-2009, 10:00 AM

Hey Toke City,

This is my first indoor grow and so far so good. I currently have four plants:
- 2x Indica dominant bag seed
- 1x Sativa dominant bag seed
- 1x World of Seeds feminized Afghan Kush

My basic setup includes:
- 9x 26watt, 2700k CFL's (daylight)
- 2x 8inch PC fans used for intake/ outtake
- 1x Desk fan (Added for air circulation)

All of this is in a grow space that measures, 2ft x 2ft and 4ft tall.

Originally my grow started on a 12/12 light cycle with my sativa bag seed, sometime near the begging of October. This plant was basically going to be my "bitch" plant that I would learn how to FIM and LST with. My FIM worked perfectly, and I have been continuously tying the plant down. Unfortunately, around week 3 I miss sexed my plant, (showed Male, now shows female) and began turning it into a bonsai type plant. I also switched to a vegetative, 18/6 light cycle at this point.

You can notice where I FIM'd at the bottom of the pic

My two indica plants have been growing well. They are at about 4 weeks of growth with only 2 days in between plants.

I have recently acquired this feminized Afghan Kush from a friend, and I think shes about 6 weeks old. She was on a 24hr veg cycle and wasn't previously trained. I let the stem thicken up for a weekend and then tied her down and trimmed her up a bit.

I expect to keep all plants vegging until the first or second week of January. I will continue LST'ing until the plants stop stretching.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks, Timbo

Looks great, Timbo.

The only thing I'd really suggest is making sure you'll have space to accommodate those plants. I'm almost positive that if you veg that long the plants will be too large for your closet.

You probably know this since you say this is your first indoor grow which leads me to think you've grown at one time or another, but plants go through a huge growth spurt at the start of flower. When you tie a plant down sideways like that, it's going to start spreading out until it's basically a bush. I flowered 3 plants (all which were lst'd and topped) on day 40, and my box which has similar dimensions as yours is almost too small to contain 3 lst'd plants.

Here's a picture at day 40 right before I changed the lights to 12/12. At that time, I had 5 lst'd plants crammed into my cab.

Here's a picture from just 20 days later after 1 male and 1 hermi were pulled.

They grow up quick.

Thanks for the advice Thor.
I realize that the plants will shoot up, I'll have to cull whatever I cant keep.

Not to sure what happened to the pictures, but I will try to get them back up after the weekend.

I'll have a new update on Monday

Mad has bin workin on the Gallery...

...could be some pics got lost in the transition?

TimboSlice · 11-23-2009, 09:59 PM

Maybe so. As soon as I get a camera again I will do an update...
The bonsai is filling in and the afghan kush is getting huge. I'm going to need to get a screen in my closet pretty soon...

I decided to start flowering last night because of my limited space.

Just wondering, should I swap my two 6500K bulbs for 2700K bulbs? I only have two and I was going to leave them in, maybe to supplement the plant with some more of the spectrum?

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TimboSlice · 12-16-2009, 09:34 PM

Haven't been able to find a camera for a bit now, but I thought I'd do an update anyway.

It is now week 3 into flowering for the Afghan Kush and the Bonsai plants.
I added a screen to the afghan kush 2 weeks ago, and I have been trying to space out the plant evenly. Bud development is excellent and hopefully I will have some nice colas.

The two bag seed indicas have both showed female sex and have been topped and tied down more. This is their first week of flower.

I have two rooted clones now in their first week of flower as well. I will take pictures of them once I can borrow a camera. For now i can only use my camera phone.

	Viktor the director flip a script like Rob Reiner The way a lotta dudes rhyme their name should be "knob shiner" For a buck, they'd likely dance the Jig or do the Hucklebuck To Vik it's no big deal, they're just a buncha knuckle-fucks You wonder how well would they hold up in a holding cell It sorta had the strange makings of a tale told in hell Like "Oh well," hold tall riches If the Feds is really after him they'll just tell all the snitches MF Doom
