The Skunk1 is growing!

[frankpeterson]

Transplant and watch them take off. They are looking better than ours did at this point. Good luck LL

Well last night I did 2 more transplants. It's 4:35am and my prize skunk "Fear" just went crazy with lower growth in the last 12 hours. So I guess I was careful enough not to damage the roots. Everything went very well. I got one more to do.

"Cristol" has been getting deeper and deeper into nute burn, but is still growing and I hope she grows out of it ya know what I mean? She is about 19 days old and has a canopy of foliage. I am very impressed with her gowth even with the nute burn. I didn't want to transplant her but I had to get her out of that cup.

I am sorry if I messed up on the pics. Some might be doubled. I hit backspace while the pics were loading and they vanished so I started over.

 

[laylow6988]

You see in the pics I lined the bottom with some marble rocks. I would of preferred to use cheaper ones but this time of year and with how busy I am my choices are limited. The picture down there shows a bit on how much "Fear" grew. I am starting some other seeds now as well. Gots to keep the cycle goin!

Boy, I didn't realize the pic of the roots was sooo blury... what can I do ya know?

 

[frankpeterson]

Looking good laylow, keep up the good work it will be worth it! Keep us posted. Are you thinking about putting any reflective material up?

It's been freezing here temps from 0-20F durning the day so I have not been able to construct a new box. I'll end up painting the inside flat white. I am sure I will be doing it soon... I hope

Here is Fear! She's gettin bushy down there LOL!

 

[laylow6988]

The first two are of course the growroom. The third pic is of one of my bagseed babies that is on about day 20. She is doin real good.
:48:

Last two pics are "Cristol" the other bagseed baby. Her leaves are the biggest fattest I have ever seen in real life. She was topped a few days ago so waiting for the hormones to shift and she is starting to bush out a little.
:bong2:

Skunk: Day 29 since germination

Indica/Afghanica?: Day 18 since germination

Pic2: Jose - Indica/Afghanica Bagseed
Pic3: Cristol - Indica/Afghanica Bagseed
Pic4: X - Skunk #1 Nirvana seeds
Pic5: Fear - Skunk #1 Nirvana Seeds
Pic6: Zombie - Skunk #1 Nirvana Seeds

Hope the pics turned out ok. As you see they are all doing good. Cristol is just hating that soil and throwing a fit but still growing.

50% humidity--- 80F---- no nutes---- MG soil----

lookin great man...keep it up

 

[newgreenthumb]

They are taking off with that MG. And who says you can't use time release fert/soil. Looking mighty fine!

 

[laylow6988]

High everybody. Time for me to show how these lil girls(I hope) are doin.

I added a big CFL, it's like a 150W normal bulb soft white. And there are my babies. I just need to get some mylar. I was going with plywood and white paint but... well... I'd like mylar.

Also I picked up some Superthrive and am trying it out. I watered all three skunks and added a few drops to my spray bottle to spray the leaves. I have heard good things about it.

As always all are doing good except that one with nute burn. The leaves that are curled up are drying where it's curled so I may have to trim off some of those larger leaves.

 

[laylow6988]

Just an update. Nothing bad is going on. So I am happy. I'll go through each plant for you all. All plants have been getting nothing but MG soil and Superthrive.

Skunks day 35 since seeds got wet.
Indica/bagseed day 24 since seeds got wet.

First pic is Alf and Fear wishing you all a happy lover's day. You see how that FIM method of pruning works very well if done right.

Then it's Jose. Been left to grow naturally.

Now in the front row on YOUR left is Jose.

Front row your right is Cristol. She has been topped a lil while ago in a traditional way. I just clipped off two fan leaves that were curling and getting crunchy to the point I thought it might be doing more harm than good.

For the back row:
Left rear, this is Zombie and has been left to grow on her own.

Middle rear is Fear, she is the biggest. Both tallest and more bushy than the others. She could become a mother plant... don't know yet.

Right rear is "X". This is the one I am doing some LST with. I need to get her a lil closer to the light. I put a lil dish under her but it aint enough. But she is doing well. Some of the lower branches have started to reach for the sky.

I am tempted to start flowering here in the next two weeks to get the harvest sooner. But I'd really like to wait another month at least.

(Got three more skunks germinating now... and a few more bagseed)

 

[laylow6988]

Here is Cristol!!!!! I forget who said but someone mentioned they could not see what I did on the leaves. You see in the 4th and 5th pics of the leave tips. That is mild compaired to what the top looked like before I flushed and topped.

[frankpeterson]

Very nice laylow as we are to are bored and nothing better than some pics of plant life to get a rise. With a few hits of course. Good call maybe we'll update our journal now.

 

[laylow6988]

You can see the slight nute burn on the leaves there. So Jose and Cristol are the only ones not getting Superthrive.

Jose was not topped or bent at all. Going to just sit back and watch. :bong1:

Just gonna pop in and say a word on Superthrive bro, I don't use it just cause I don't know what's in it but a few of my mentors swear by it. They all say the same thing though, NEVER more than one drop a gallon and only once or twice in veg...never in flower. Some powerful stuff hormones and chemicals can be. Pretty sure Kade would say the same too.

Everything looks great mang, continue to show peeps how it's done.:aok:

Yes, and people should hear your words on that. I have been warned from farmers of all kinds of crops. I added one drop to my spray bottle and misted them and then dumped it into my water can, added one more drop and filled up the rest of the way and watered. They have in total between the three skunks less than a drop each.

I added a drop to a plant in a glass of water and roots just shot out of everywhere. It was already rooting, but it seemed that all kinds of fresh ones started.

 

[laylow6988]

Pictures for everybody! This one is of... uhmmm... "X"! Yeah, lol it's all coming back to me now. She is bent and showing really great growth. Want to wait a few more weeks at least before I want to flower her.
Day 34 since seed got wet...

 

[moneyme]

Looks like they're really coming along. Good job. C'mon start flowering, we can race! lol

 

[laylow6988]

:guitar:

Here is the only Skunk to be left alone.

 

[laylow6988]

Ok, uhmmm... I got noided back when I was growing. Just finished my crop and found that in an apartment it was too easy to get caught with a closet grow. But, I figured what the hell... I don't have anything anyone could bust me for now so I can show you guys what I got from my one female. That's right. Outta all those plants only one female. Got a great harvest. The dope was better than previous grows for sure. Skunk1 is nice, easy to grow. Here are some pics of "Fear" the only female. Got over 4 ounces outta her.
