Nothing wrong with bagseed - if you enjoyed the smoke bagseed will grow you some more of the same. Dry and cure it properly and it will be even better.

if it was stoney, but looked like crap, what you grow out of it will probably be pretty good stuff.

then yes ^_^
i will keep yall updated
i just replanted 5 of the best sprouts i had
and put them under 2 6500k CFL
and they seem to be liking it :D hehe

and just to brush up i have i think 3 difrent strains now growing
i will pick the best growers and keep 2 or 3 plants out of 7 sprouts i have rigth now(i had around 15 srputs @ the begining ) jsut to pick the faster and better looking ones :)
thank you all for the advice

Bag seeds aren't bad. But of course you get what you pay for..... I... or erm someone I know did this last year. And out of 9 plants to start..... 2 of them grew to be 9 feet tall, but it wasn't marijuana. Now I don't know what it was? The beans looked like the others planted, but some garbage grew up. And not knowing what it was supposed to look like, I was taking care of and pampering some garbage :)

Of those 9, about 3 were females, the other 4 males. They were cut at end of season, and hung upside down well ventilated for two weeks. Even the males wound up to be some decent smoke.

So in end I guess it depends on what your goals are. As just a casual grower that does it more so for fun than anything, I have no problem with bagseed. Although seperating them is a PITA. Next season proper beans will be ordered.

well......
considering were i live
and for the $ i gots wich is 0 :P

any kind of bud would be greatly apriciated
if it ends up being some awsome smoke then yes!
but until i can order some good seeds(probly in the next 4 months or so)
then this is all i got
yall think 3 6500k CFL will be enogh for vegging ?

you will want to up the watts. the 3 lights is not really enough for 1 med to 1 large plant imo
good luck and happy growing

POST PICS so we can see what your growing environment is like.

But the rule of thumb is about 3000-3300 lumens per square foot for a vegging plant.... it's not about the WATTS, remember that. It's all about the LUMENS.
When the seedlings are young, they WILL bend sideways towards a light source. The weaker the light source, the more they'll stretch up and to the side where the light is.
If you got CFL's, consider putting them at about 1 inch from the plant and if you can, make a little deflector for the bulbs. There's a nice DIY beer can tutorial in the DIY section.

4 plants in vegetative state in 6 inch pots = 1 square foot. If you can get about 4000 lumens in there, you should be all set. (about 4 CFL's)

Not to say you can't grow a plant to harvest with those lights, but they are going to be a bottleneck for the plant (ie: will be the limiting factor on growth and bud production). As tommy mentioned, if you aren't using reflectors those will help. You could also add more CFL's or look into something like T5's (they work pretty well as a top light with CFL's on the sides). Personally if it were me I'd try to get up to 150-200w, and right now you have 69w.

Yeah, T5's are much more efficient. But if you want to FLOWER, that's a different story. I was under the assumption that you wanted to know what you needed to veg. For flowering 3-4 plants, a minimum of 400 HPS light setup is a MUST. GL !
