First real grow, does she look normal for day 10?

[WestCoast4Life]

Hello everyone, this is my first real grow ever. She has been in flower for 10 days when these pictures were taken. I would just be curious on any feedback on the progress of this plant. She is a bagseed plant from california, anybody have any ideas of the strain? Thanks.

Um, pics?

 

[WestCoast4Life]

There are 3, are they not showing?

 

[Kcar]

Now they are. Can't help you on the strain, though. Looks good!

 

[GrnMtnGrwr]

Looks good to me!

Asking for strain identification on bagseed is gonna be like trying to find a needle in a haystack... blindfolded. Since it's bagseed, you'll want to keep an eye on the trichs starting at about 8 weeks and harvest once you start to see mostly cloudy with some amber... IMO.

 

[reckon]

you got boobies!!

looks good, nice color, tips aren't brown (MOST common noob mistake=overwater), and you have buds forming at day 10, so good light leak proofing.

nice work.......I'd say, sit back, puff one, relax, and keep doing whatever it is your doing.

Thanks, constant passionate interest for many years has helped a lot. Its great to finally follow through with some real growing. It seems some of it is clawing to some degree. I have always had a hunch these are mexican genetics based off of how and where I got it and the site it was grown at. I have heard the claw can come from landrace species sensitive to a lot of nitrogen so I have been really flushing this soil and trying to cater to her needs but she doesn't seem to care anyway or is it detrimental in any way I think. Thanks for the comments!

Would everyone agree she is a sativa dominant strain? She stretches a lot and requires much training now, great high when I had the sack too.

Loooking excellent for 10 days. Yeah she's def sativa Dom. I've seen a lot of sativas look like that in flowering. U should be cool don't flush to much. Cuz she's gonna need all she can get without overdoing it obviously

 

[WestCoast4Life]

Ok thanks for the thought, I just reverted to giving her molasses water. I'll give her nutes in maybe 5 days.

 

[WestCoast4Life]

Here's day 12 into flower, I had to tie her down. How do yall think she looks? Thanks

pretty good looking and healthy shooting up should be a nice high if you harvest right, but i don't feed soil molasses because it kills the good fungi in your soil that is healthy for roots. feed molasses to the leaves right about now, feed myc (brewed) to try to increase yield. i'm very new too but my growth seems to be getting better than it was before when i was still using molasses in soil. its better without. just feed plain water with 13/14 and whatever else you think you need. 13/14 is super for finishing buds.

nice formation for 12 days.. some strains can still be struggling to show at upto 20 days, so it looks like you're on to a winner...

 

[Strykaar]

Curious WestCoast, how many and what wattage CFLs are you using? And are you using them start to finish?

Hmmm the threads i've read on molasses have said that the molasses feed the micro bacteria in the soil which then produce waste products which are pure nutrients for the roots to take up. Or am i wrong?

Most people use some kinda of sweetener throughout most of the flowering stage weather it be sweet leaf, bud candy, molasses...it's carbohydrates for your plant it's good stuff

yeah but the plants cant take up carbs right? the carbs feed the micro herd which then feed your roots right?

 

[slackx]

You take care of your soil that takes care of your plants. I only foliar feed with plain water.

 

[Batboy]

don't feed soil molasses because it kills the good fungi in your soil that is healthy for roots.

Do you have a source for this advice? I haven't seen one of ICM's most seasoned and successful organic growers agree with that. As I understand it, the carbs and sugars in the molasses is great food for the beneficial bacteria and the fungi that feeds off of it. The fungi then thrives which leads to healthy, thriving roots. Add to the fact that blackstrap molasses contains a good amount of magnesium, calcium and iron, and you've got a great product to feed your soil (note: feeding the soil, not the plant).

Why would you suggest folar feeding molasses; what does that do? Why do you think that molasses kills fungi?

Use molasses, it works, I dont know where that info came from. Molasses feeds the soil and chelates minerals so that they are easier for the plant to suck up.
