[cyberbud]

Hi guys, mods n anybody.. i know this is a simple 1 i should know n can find out if i look but i know u like helpin out lol,

so wats up with my leaves? its skunk special in canna coco and i got canna nutrient for it n seem to be feedin it loads,, says on the label feed every waterin 40ml max a and b to 10 liters of water so thats wat i do at max.. but i still give plain water now n agen cause i dont want fert build up...

i jus started addin becuzz booster n bloom stim n other hydro fert cause i heard it all gos with coco....... im at 6 weeks n hav slite spider mite prob on a few litle bottom branches so i pull off infected leaves as i see em.. i did spray with a 'flower insecticide' only slitely underneath b4, but the stuf stinks n takes forever to get out the closet..

oh by the way can i cut off nearly ALL the leaves ? except bud leaves. Too much shade goin on, i figure she dont need em now anyway, or does she?..

Anyway! .. cant say i like canna coco but i had to try,, bak to the rockwool n resovoirs i think -- hope my photo shows i cant get a preview?,,,,,,

i grow also skunk special and and know your problem. It's a little fert burn, but it's not very important in your case. Lower the EC by adding water only because this strain drink a lot of water so the EC concentration goes up. Mine are more burnt and they feel good anyway, 7 weeks of flo.

cheers man glad to hear from someone with same breed.. i thought it was lacking somethin n today fed it bcuzz bloom stim n booster wen i guess it shudve been plain water,,, wish i saw yor post first. still it shud all turn out good enough n better than the crap i hav to buy

[cyberbud]

how long do u bud them for? i was goin to wait 8 -9 weeks then give 2 days blackout n chop? if the mites stay away that long.

They are 7 weeks full now and i think i'm going to flush them on monday until they are ready, maybe 10 days more. Some buds have some brown pistils, but others don't have any, so i wait but not too long. Maw 9 weeks. This strain is very stable, because when i saw your pic, i thought it was my weed!

thats mental, check this pic out :D jus noticed you hav a few there but at a glance it looks like the same plant! 6weeks yesterday if i remember rite.. 5 if im not. how much do ya get from 1 of those?

[fhydro]

I don't know, last crop was not very successfull so i can't imagine. I've got 4 plants with a lot of big buds, but no cola bacause i bended them. I hope 8 oz in total, do you think it's possible? How many plants to you have ?

i think ul easy get 2 or mor off each plant, i get that off any breed usually. Have only got that 1 buddin rite now n 2 in the garden about 1 foot hi,, was sexin those theyre both female. Seeds underway too of the breed i crossed myself.

im lookin about 4-5 oz at least from my plant.. the last 1 was smaller n gave me 3oz.

wat do u feed em?

I have never grown out skunk but I have grown silver pearl and it contains some skunk and they smell like skunk. The first time I grew it out I chopped during weeks 8-9. The smoke was not that strong. The next time I got out the magnifying glass and made sure the trichs had heads on the end of the stalks. It made a big difference. Don't be misled by the advertised times these seed breeders claim. Each plant is different. Having nute burns and other problems inhibits growth and in turn delays harvest time. When I waited the calyxs swelled quite a bit and added more weight. I went from some weed that got you stoned to some weed that knocked your dick in the dirt.

Cyberbud : gh flora series to feed them, but not to much, i know that now.
Gronh20 : When you did a better harvest using a magnifying glass, how long was the delay compared to the breeder's recommendations?

They called for 7-8 weeks. I harvested in between the 9-10 week usually they were ready from day 65 to 70. The trichromes swelled along with the calyxs and I harvested when I began seeing an abudant amount of trichs turning cloudy. Since the plants were indica dominant, I did not want to find myself napping after a couple hours, so I looked for mostly clear bubble heads and some cloudy. At this point they should have the most THC before starting in on the CBD. Once they start clouding up then THC ratios begin to decline. Of course this is all of personal choice, some people like more of the couchlock effect(cloudy and amber trichs), that just won't work for me.
