Yeah, it is behaving a lot like an autoflowering plant but I'm pretty sure it is just a freaky normal plant. I guess we'll see if they are autoflowering since they are 3 weeks ahead of all the other stuff. Once the TW and KK are have shown pistils, I'm flipping the lights.

Nope haven't been able to find employment yet. Now that I'm legal, I'd like to stay in CO so I'm limiting my options a bit but I've got to believe there is plenty of employment in the Denver area. I too don't have much specialization on my resume, so it may be a little challenging to find my place. I've got a lot of experience in the printing industy, so I'm going to target that industry first. How is your search going? Got any pointers? lol.

Thanks a lot man!

Camera is a Canon Powershot A590. Simple, cheap and effective.

Time for some pictures even though not much has happened. I've got 3 bagseed going strong. The other three sprouts are trainwreck, lemon skunk, and la woman that were in soil but not doing well. I think they were getting really burnt by the super hot FFOF, so hopefully they can recover and thrive in the dwc tote. Still waiting on my attitude order to get here. Should be any day now....

Lonely, empty tubs








Roots starting to develop


Hey Sick how long did it take you to get your beans from the attitude? i orderd pineapple express like almost 2 weeks ago and still nothing!

Thanks! They are really bushing out and growing like crazy. At 20 days from the seed being put into the rockwool, bagseed #2 has already shown sex...female! That is the fastest I've ever seen a plant reach sexual maturity.

All the TW has broken the rockwool and are now in the dwc tote. Things should get really interesting here in a few weeks.
Thanks for this great thread I plan to follow it to completion.

How can you tell the sex already? I am just a noob I thought i had to wait until they started to flower before you could tell Sex?! Thanks for any info!

It took a little over two weeks for the seeds to get here. They were stuck in the USPS tracking system. Have you tracked it at all? It's probably just stuck like mine was, so just be patient.

Awesome, glad to have you along for the ride.

Some strains will show sex really early without any change to the photoperiod and others will take weeks after the switch to 12/12 to show. This particular strain is super fast to show, hearty, and a good yielder. Great characteristics for bagseed.

Plants are doing great. Added another 600gph pump, so each tub has its each own pump for max bubble action.
Can I ask if was necessary for you to add the second pump, it looks like I have the same air pump and I was going to use two air tubes per bucket like you did in the beginning, it looked like you had some wicked bubble action?

Thanks again!

Good question. I'm not completely convinced it was necessary to get another pump. It adds a lot more bubble action but once the roots are in the water, I think one pump between the two tubs would be enough air. I guess I was thinking that more is better, so I got another pump. Also, I like to have redundant systems in case of a failure due to my last grow ending in catastrophe. If the pump goes out while on vacation, the plants will die but if I've got two pumps controlling a stone in each tub, the risk is cut in half.

Actually that makes a lot of sense I never looked at it from that angle, today was actually thinking about my bulbs and how I am going to deal with a bulb failure in the middle of a grow I guess since I will be doing DWC (well bubble ponics) need to consider my air pump failing as well. Great idea! U da man!

That is exactly why I keep an extra bulb on-hand. It sucks to think about the failures that could destroy a crop but if you can be proactive about it and prevent a disaster in the first place, the piece of mind is good to have.

Are you going to create a grow journal for this? I'm interested to see what you have up your sleeve.

I think it has been way too long without a picture update. Since last time, I added two 5 gallon buckets with 2 plant capacity each to bring the total plant count up to 20. Since they are so close together, it seems like I don't have much of a choice but to SOG. We'll see as they continue to get bigger and fill up the empty space of the tent.

Only one of the Kings Kush made it out of the rockwool properly and the other LA woman died. The empty plots are going to be filled with clones of the bagseed once I find the sex of the other two plants. The two closest in the first bucket are still undetermined on sex.

Two totes and two buckets...20 plants:


1 week old TW sprouts:


3 weeks of veg (god I love hydro):


Two unknown sex bagseed:


Can't forget the obligatory dwc root porn pic:

I have a journal going on my first grow which is an ebb& flow, I nearly killed all the plants but two have survived and I'm quite happy with how they are doing to be honest!

At the bottom of page 2 here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/287031-400w-mh-hps-first-grow-2.html you can see the setup of my NEXT grow which will be in the tent. I have the tent up and the buckets are in place, I mounted the light today, and i have all the materials I need, but I still have quite a bit of work to do, I need to put up the fans, the ducting, make the carbon filter, cut the holes for my net pots, and put the water and air pumps in place. I will probably get that done this weekend then start to germinate my seeds, I will be growing two white widow and 10 Mazar!

I'm very excited as well. With the new light, transition to hydro, and (knock on wood) rediculous health of the plants, this will be completely worth the effort.

About damn time you got going. With the time spent waiting, you could have completed a grow already. Keep me updated with what you plan on doing. This better be good...lol.

looking good bro!
Thanks a lot, appreciate it. :leaf:
