White Skunk from Sensi Seed's White Label

[SDK SLAYER]

I have just ordered this strain & was wondering if any1 has any info:cool: I really like White Widow & SuperSkunk, so a combination of the 2 should suit me nicely:stoned: any info from any1 who has grown/is growing this strain would be greatly appreciated:thumbsup:
thank you :D :stoned:
Slayer;)

[bud breath420]

can we get seeds sent to australia safely?

[SDK SLAYER]

:thumbsup: yes, but some don't get through :( planetskunk has an option 4 aussie customers to deposit cash in a bank acc.:thumbsup: i have read lots of good reports from these guys....I have not actually received my seeds yet, but it has only been a few days....can take between 6 - 21 days usually....but there is other seed banks that will send to Aus.:D
www.snow-white.nl is another reputable supplier :thumbsup:
www.planetskunk.com sell seeds in their original packets from the growers:D

[EckyThump]

I dont sorry man,:( but when they arrive and you pop em keep us updated please man. sounds like some wicked smoke..:stoned:

:thumbsup: no probs dude:D

I'm growing that at the moment, been vegging for about five weeks.

Very compact with good branching - was gonna LST them but I don't think its worth it.

From 7 seeds got 5 girls, even after some early stress. :thumbsup:

Preflowers appear after 3-4 weeks, one of the easiest to sex plants I've had.

One thing I noticed is it's quite sensitive to overfeeding and it dosen't like as much N as other strains I've grown.

[emmpey]

some stuff i had bookmarked.

A copy of overgrow.com grow reports for white skunk.

:thumbsup: Excellent ! thank you emmpey !:thumbsup: do you have a grow diary going so I can see the progress of your ladies ??

[emmpey]

I don't mind squatting on this thread. :)

they're just gonna veg for a few more weeks. I'll probably tie the ends over when I repot. I'll post some pics here.

[SDK SLAYER]

swt...thanx dude :)

is that 200w CFL I see ? ... the plants look great! ( I just ordered a 200W
6400K CFL for veg'n )

:stoned:

[emmpey]

sdk slayer: no worries. let us know when your seeds arrive.

blue ox: it is a 200w evirolite. nice for simple cab growing.

I should say that those plants aren't five weeks old (they've been vegging for five/six weeks). they had 2 weeks under the light, then got moved to a window sill for 3 weeks. they've been back under the light for the last three/four weeks.

there's a pic here http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=85836 of what they looked like three weeks ago - they were a bit stressed :)

[SDK SLAYER]

:thumbsup: hopefully I won't be waiting much longer....;)

[emmpey]

All the girls are now showing alternate nodes. I've tied the main grow tip over so its lower than half a dozen of the side branches tips - these should now start growing quick and will provide the main bud sites.

I also intend to clone these, and there are about 6-8 good branches per plant to do that.

I would normally repot at this stage but they still have a bit of room in the current pots, so I may leave them there until flower, when they will then go into their final pots.

sorry about the low quality pics, its a phone cam. :o

[emmpey]

here's a slightly better pic - they look a bit scraggy but will soon pert up.

[SDK SLAYER]

looking good man, keep the pics coming :)

[SDK SLAYER]

:dance: my order arrived today!! 12 days after I paid 4 them!! :thumbsup:
I gotta get these suckas started....:D :stoned:

[bud breath420]

alright!.. can we expect a grow log man? are you growing inside or out? be nice to see some 10 foot skunk trees here..

[emmpey]

nice one sdk. so how you gonna grow em?

[SDK SLAYER]

:D Most of them will be outdoors organic, but if I wanna flower 1 early I have got a 600w HPS:thumbsup: I may also give some to a grower m8 so I will be able to get a cutting or 2 back at a later date. I don't have a digital cam atm, when I do I'll get a grow diary going. I think I may have left it a little late to get a 10ft. monster;) always next year tho I suppose....:D

[SDK SLAYER]

:dance: I put 8 seeds in, so far 5 have sprouted :thumbsup:

[emmpey]

mine are plodding along after the LST. They suffered a bit of P deficiency a few days after the tie over so I adjusted the nute mix.

The base of the stems have really thickend up. Each plant has got about 6-8 nice shoots at the top. I hope to get 1-2 oz per plant.

I will re-pot next week and tie a few more branches over.

[SDK SLAYER]

:thumbsup: Looking good emmpey;) How long 'till you start flowering them ??

[emmpey]

good question...Im gonna take some clones but the branches are still a bit small and I aint finished the new flower cab that I'm building. I reckon about three weeks should do it.

It says on the packet 45 day flower but wiv my CFLs that's gonna be more like 60. I'm gonna try and sog my next grow from the clones cos I cant handle the waiting :)

So what the scoop wiv yours - d'you raise in pots first or are they in the ground now?

[SDK SLAYER]

As soon as they sprout, I put them in compressed peat seed raising pots (known as JIFFY POTS in Aus.), then when they are ready they will go into bigger pots that are waiting 4 them. :thumbsup: the weather is warm here atm, so they are loving it:D still nothing from the last 3 seeds:( I might just germ. the rest of them as well;)

[emmpey]

So you grow them in pots but outside. :cool:

For some reason I thought you just stuck em in the ground when growing outside and chopped em down when they were like 10 feet tall.
:chainsaw:

i like the new smilies btw.

:weedpoke:

[SDK SLAYER]

:D LOL....I wish I could just put them in the ground m8, but I am still in a rental house atm & I need to be able to move them if I have to.:cool: We also have problems with fence jumpers round here that lurk around at nite with their noses in the air, if you know what I mean....So when they get smelly, I lock them up at nite! :greenthumb:

[emmpey]

u shitting me - fence jumpers? you mean people go round deliberatly look for MJ in peoples gardens - that is low man.

if that happend in my area i'd booby trap the plant and electrocute the buggers.

:yippee:

Aye, it's true m8 unfortunately:( but I got lots of tricks & surprises for any1 that tries to nick my plants:thumbsup: 2 more seeds have sprouted, so that makes 7 out of 8 seeds germinated successfully :greenthumb:

[EckyThump]

i'd let the dog sort em out. thievery thats it..

peace

[emmpey]

hey slayer, how's those seedlings doing?... good I hope.

i repotted my ladies and tied a few more branches down. I also snipped of the runty little branches at the bottom that are no good for clones - I dried em out and smoked em :D, haven't had a toke in a couple of weeks so that was welcome...hopefully its a sign that these are potent cos the buzz lasted an hour and half and got me playing the guitar which is always a good sign of the stone for me.

the lower branches should be ready for taking the cuttings in another week or so, I'll probably take four from each cos I have such a shit success rate although this time i've got some rooting hormone gel.

losing some lower fan leaves but they are small and hardly get any light so it is to be expected.

[SDK SLAYER]

swt....lookin' good emmpey :greenthumb: aye, the seedlings are doing well, up & growing in 8" x 10" pots :thumbsup: I'm working on fixing a closet 4 a small indoor grow, hope to have a couple of those youngun's in there b4 x-mas.
nice pics m8

:( The last 2 seeds to sprout have died....:(
poor lil' things....:(
:thumbsup: The other 5 are growing well under the hot Aussie sun....:thumbsup: All are about 3" & just sprouting 1st. set of full leaves....:dance:
How are your ladies doing emmpey ??

[SDK SLAYER]

Thanx Gandor:thumbsup: It was my fault the last 2 seeds died, I didn't let them sprout long enough...oh, well....I can always get more seeds :D
I have also grown a number of other Sensi strains like...Northern Lights....Super Skunk....White Widow and Shiva Shanti, but this is the 1st. time I have bought seeds & if I hadn't fooked it I probably would have got 100% germ.:weedpoke:

[SDK SLAYER]

:thumbsup: I expect they will be flowering by the end of February, & finishing sometime in April....:thumbsup: :bonghit: :bong: :joint1: :yippee: :stoned:

[emmpey]

eh-up slayer. the veg cab (2.5x1.5) is nearly filled out. I will take my clones next week and move two girls into my new flower cab (2x3) to make room for the clones and let the other ladies put on some more weight. I should be puffing bud late Jan :dance: - I'm figuring on a 60day flower, although it could be a bit longer.

I might sound like a hippy leaf smoker but those growing tips give you a buzz man :) , although not the high you get from bud, much more mellow but better than nothing. I can't get any decent puff round here so it's all I have.

When I was in west Africa a number of years ago the locals always smoked the growing tips from an old plant, they harvested it like tea pickers. Anyway, gotta go and light some more jos sticks, eat some lentils and make a new tie-died shirt.

[emmpey]

GANDOR, re: cloning. in the past I usually ended up with stem rot - over spraying i 'spose. I never bothered with hormones etc, just used to cut em and chuck em in a pot covered with a baggie, stuck em on a window sill too which didn't help. I think I was also a bit rough with the stems and may have squashed em a bit doing the 45 degree cut.

I should be good this time, I'm prepared :) we'll see how it goes....as long as I get one rooted clone from each plant I'll be happy. If I have probs I'll post for some help. cheers man.

[emmpey]

the girls today - I've lined my home-made reflector with mylar.

[emmpey]

hey gandor, how long you been veggin the skunk for?

[SDK SLAYER]

yo emmpey :thumbsup: looking good man :greenthumb:
hehe....fresh tips are better than nothing m8, done that myself more than once.....:stoned: I have been trawling the boards at ozstoners.com & it seems that White Skunk is also known as Great White Shark....apparently some1 crossed WW & SS before Sensi did :confused: doesn't matter now, I suppose...LOL :D

[emmpey]

Hey slayer - do you think they are the same then? I'm not too clued up with all these different seed producers and strains. I just buy cheap :) and GWS is like four times the price in the UK for 50% less seeds. Still at least I can read a few more grow reports now.

Hey gandor - I started mine beginning of sept, but I had to move em after a couple of weeks veg, they then spent 3 weeks on a cold window sill, with only poor daylight and were properly abused. I put them back in the veg box at the beginning of october. they looked like this after a week of being back http://boards.cannabis.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=92876&d=1160473570 pretty sad, but they pulled through ok. :thumbsup:

[emmpey]

my second red envirolite came today :dance:- check out my new flower cab , 6000 lumens per sq ft. from CFL :cool: can't wait to see how it does.:yippee:

hey man. what's happend to Gandor's posts :confused::confused::confused::confused:

[SDK SLAYER]

:confused: I have no idea m8.....maybe 1 of the mods could shed some light here....:confused: :confused:
maybe he deleted his profile....I dunno.....He wasn't rude or anything so I dunno why the mods. would delete his posts.....:weedpoke:

[emmpey]

apparently he was banned as karmaxle, came back as harmony, was banned again, came back again as gandor...you get the story. the mods deleted all his posts.

[emmpey]

i took 8 clones today from my two biggest plants, used 50-50 potting soil/perlite and hormone gel - so fingers crossed.

I will stick the two big uns into flower next week and take the rest of the clones from the other three.

(got some more shoots to smoke too from the branches that were to small LOL)

[emmpey]

I finished my flower cab btw, have a look - I'm well chuffed wiv it. :)

:D YO emmpey :thumbsup: excellent set-up man, looks really good :thumbsup: My 5 are doing really well, I picked up a 400w HPS coz I think the 600w will be too big for my lil' closet....Not much work left to do, just got to get an exhaust fan in there. :greenthumb: When it's ready, I'll put the 2 biggest plants in there to flower. I also have ordered more seeds, this time I got Pineapple Punch from the Flying Dutchman.:thumbsup: :rasta: I wanted something different, something fruity & tropical with a Sativa high. Still no digicam:( as soon as I do get hold of 1, I will post some pics.:thumbsup: I can't w8 to try some fresh tips.....LOL :D :smokin:

[emmpey]

cool slayer - you seem to know your strains man :) I wanna get me a 400w HPS next year - i'm scouting around for a glass tube so I can make a cool-tube (another cheap-skate special :D ).

One of my plants is different from the other four - it's much more vigorous and more sensitive to the nutes and dosen't have as many pre-flowers - I hope it's got a different taste and buzz cos I like a bit of variety too.

I think my clones are gonna make it. they look good today - i've killed so many before that I should have eveything covered by now :o

[SDK SLAYER]

Yo emmpey:D Ya man, I'm a bit of an info junkie....& I'm getting too old & fussy to be smoking shite....:smokin: took us a while to narrow down the list to a few strains we really wanted to try & could also afford. If I could m8, I would have Northern Lights#5 X Haze in the grow room,:thumbsup: but the price puts that out of reach, for now anyways....;) All of yours were grown from seed, weren't they ?? I have not found any mentions of phenotypes with WS, but that's not to say there isn't any....:confused: Guess we'll have to wait & see....My 5 are going sooo well, I have never seen such fat stems on seedlings before.... :greenthumb: & they are all showing uniform growth :thumbsup: Good luck with yer clones m8. :jointsmile:

:stupid: (on the cam) LOL. I wanna see how much nicer they are under natures grow lamp.

yeah mine are all from seeds. the odd-ball is so vigorous i thought it was gonna be a male so I was pleased to see the pistels. only 8 weeks or so and I should know if it is a different pheno type - actually make that 6 cos I've got some self-control issues :D

[emmpey]

apparently there are two phenotypes according to this grow report.

found some nice white lable WS bud shots on this thread http://icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=35711&page=10&pp=15

i been reading every thread i can find with 'white skunk' and found out there are two types, one is WW x SS and the white lable one is WW x Skunk#1 - that's maybe why they are a lot cheaper than other WS strains.

[SDK SLAYER]

Cheerz emmpey :thumbsup: some nice pics there :D
You know, I think the Skunk#1 X WW sounds better to me b/c it would have more Sativa in it :thumbsup: I'm just glad to have some known genetics, even if they are from the cheaper end of the range. ;) I'll have another look around Sensi's forums & see what I can find. Seems that not too many ppl know about the Pineapple Punch tho :p

[emmpey]

my veg cab was so stuffed I had two take two plants out. I repotted them and stuck em under one of the red lamps. one of em could have done wiv another week of veg - but what the heck.

The other three should have a bit of room to fatten up now. also getting more light to the clones.

come on you buds!

[SDK SLAYER]

nice m8 :greenthumb:
My ladies[well, I hope they are...] are still adapting to the amount of N in my mix....LOL....the biggest is near 5" or so[i haven't really measured them....] & the rest is not far behind.... :weedpoke:
:hippy:
Slayer

[emmpey]

eh-up slayer!

They are a bit sensitive to the N for the first month or so, they seem to need a fair amount of magnesium too, i've dosed em twice with epsom salts now, that's the worse part of growing a new strain for me - keying in the nutes. yours sound like they're doing great at 5 inches :greenthumb:

I'm having timer switch probs, so the flowering cycle has been a bit erratic the last couple of days :(, I might have to go and by a new one today :mad: (i hate spending money on my growing).

the clones are still looking good - none have wilted yet, just been spraying the inside of the baggies occassionaly. I will clone and repot another two plants next week and one plant I will leave in veg until i know the clones are gonna be ok - if they're not I'll just clone again - I really wanna get the sog going.

:jointsmile:

[SDK SLAYER]

eh-up emmpey ;)
Yeah, they are definitely sensitive allright, I use a lot of Yates' DYNAMIC LIFTER in my mix which contains composted chicken shit,blood & bone, kelp & fish bits....it's got a fair bit of N in it.:thumbsup: They will grow thru soon & take off, nearly big enough for 1st. tipping. :greenthumb: :weedpoke: When they are big enough, I will start feeding them with MonsterBud organic hydro nutes. :greenthumb:
I know what you mean about spending on the grow m8, I try to do it as cheap as possible by re-using pots etc. I think it may be my Scottish blood, coz I'm a real tight-ass.... LOL :D But a good timer is a must-have, usually the more expensive units last a whole lot longer. :thumbsup:
Always a good idea to take more cuttings than you need, just in case some get sick or die or whatever. That way you can just use the strongest looking plants. :greenthumb: Speaking of cuttings, remember I said that I gave some seeds to a grower m8 ?? well, he's gonna send me over a couple of cuttings of this indica strain he's been growing indoors :thumbsup: should have them by next weekend, they will go outside & maybe 1 will find it's way into the closet of light. LOL :D
:hippy:

[emmpey]

hey slayer, i fixed the timer ting by running another extension line and moving the timer, its now on the outside of the cab - switching on the 4-way ting. they're digital ones - not a good idea to have two of em on one extension i suppose - it wont trip off when there's another drain on the line.

moved the clones a bit closer to the light now that they are used to their rootless bodies - the stems seem a bit thinner and a couple have red stems, i hope there are some roots being made down there :confused:

the ones in flower have started to stretch a bit. i made a little polystyrene wall to bounce a few lumens back in. i cant wait to see some more flowers in there man :D

[SDK SLAYER]

Lookin' good m8 :greenthumb:
Mine are in red pots as well....LOL :)
shouldn't be long 'til you get lotsa flowers happenin' :thumbsup:
:hippy:

[emmpey]

what you were saying earlier about the clones - i'm hoping at least one per plant makes it, i took 4 clones from each so i might be ok with a 25% success rate. :) i'm hoping to have a least a couple of different smokes so a good potential mother from each until i get a puff.:stoned:

yeah, red pots totally rock man :thumbsup:

[SDK SLAYER]

Looks like you will end up with more cuttings than you need, which is always handy. :greenthumb:
I like a bit of variety as well m8, that's why I ordered the PP as well as the WS. maybe in the new year I'll get me a really nice HAZE :stoned:
:hippy:

[emmpey]

i found a couple of roots on a clone today :dance: 12 days after cutting. some of the others definately seem to be more turgid - should see a few more hopefully :cool:

i flushed the soil on the vegging plants cos they seemed to be losing their vigour, i'll repot in a few days. the flowering ones are still stretching, i included a pic with a same aged veg for comparison. quite a few more pistles - will soon have little buds. :D

[SDK SLAYER]

eh-up emmpey :D looking good m8 :greenthumb: good to see those clones wanna live. When I 1st. grew indoors, every1 I talked to said that a hydro system should be flushed well every week before yer nute change, otherwise there will be a build-up of nutes in the bottom of the pots. I would put about 2 or 3 buckets of water thru each pot....obviously your pots are a bit smaller so they won't need quite as much. At least 1 bucket {9 L or 2 gall.} should be enough to flush pots of the size you are using. :thumbsup: I took a tape out to my girls today, the 2 tallest are 20cm and the other 3 are about 17cm. :greenthumb:
I love the way actively growing MJ plants track the sun across the sky, a bit like a sunflower, the top bends slightly to follow the sun....so cool :thumbsup:

[emmpey]

yay - another two rooted this morning :D and a few others look ready to strike too.

the flushed veggies are looking much more perky today - i think i did a couple of pots worth of water on the flush, they only gonna stay there for a few more days before going to flower. i usually flush through until the water starts looking clear. now i need to take another 12 clones - always something too do eh?

yours sound great, maybe you got 2 males and a 3 girls? i Iike trying to guess the males :).

now i have cloning keyed in I hope it's a long time before i have to start from seed again. he he.

[SDK SLAYER]

hehe, I hope they are all ladies...still dont know 4 sure yet....the biggest 2 cracked 1st & were in pots a couple of days b4 the others....apart from that, they are all almost identical in leaf development, branch spacing,etc.

So, yours aren't on bloom nutes yet ?? :confused: Always good, if you can, to start feeding with bloom nutes a week before they start flowering....so they can build-up with what they need b4 they start to flower. :greenthumb:
with the cuttings, i would move them closer to the light & the warmth....or have them on a heatpad with their own lights....possibly fluro's, if you have got the room :greenthumb:

[emmpey]

ALRIGHT - glad you got it sorted :D

dem plants look great dude - much better than mine did at that age ;) and that sun is so high in the sky - right overhead!! I miss the sun, only getting 7 hours of daylight at the mo :(

I have been feeding mine low N stuff since going to flower (its like 12-25-25) but i thought I might try some nutes made specifically for MJ, can't seem to find any high P ferts 'round here.

yours should be showing pre-flowers by now - mine showed well early, have a close look with a mag glass.

hey slayer - looking sunny again :) did you mean topped btw?

i put two more into flower today - gave the other two a flush cos they were getting the 'claw'.

buds are coming on well and another clone has rooted - i moved em a bit closer to the light and it seems to have helped.

come on you roots.

come on you buds.

a couple of (small) bud shots :)

yo emmpey :greenthumb: lookin good m8 :greenthumb: Ya, when I say tipped, I mean topped :weedpoke: 1 of the taller plants is looking suspect with a lot of stretch between the nodes....I may gift it to the mother-in-law, she's been hassling me to give her 1. She don't smoke any more, just wants to grow it 4 us :greenthumb: Now that my PP is up I may have to reduce the number of plants around here, I would really h8 to lose them all....& I have got an inspection on Thursday....ffs....Not long 'til we got our own place & then I'll have a nice grow room ( & a huge greenhouse out the back :greenthumb: ) So, what is "the claw" m8 ?? not heard that 1.... :D

real-time almost, he he.

i did see your PP on the other thread, lookin gud mon! yah! i might try that if my clones don't work out, but i got one more vegging for extra clones - i gotta do a sog. i know what you mean about having lots of plants around and its nice to hear you get on wiv your MiL :D

the claw is what i call the extreme leaf curl, when it goes like P def. but in my case its usually bad ph or salt buildup. :)

ahhhh...kk.....down to 4 now....the suspect has gone to the out-laws....1 less plant to hide tomorrow when we have our house inspection...ffs....not long 'til we get our own place....:thumbsup:

hey slayer - good luck with the 'inspection' :)

I got another clone rooted today, thats 5/8 so far :cool:

the two that have been in flower for 2 1/2 weeks are still stretching :eek: the branches are like 16" long - I was going for 10" :confused: I may have to double-crop cos my cfl's only have about 10" penetration (just like me, ha ha). The other two in flower have been tied right down so they shouldn't get as gangly.

buds have started to pump out the pistles, looking like proper buds now :D can't wait till the end of Jan... :jointsmile:

1st pic is the two at 2 1/2 weeks, 2nd is a bud shot and 3rd is the other two at 3 days.

yo emmpey....thanx, all went well....now I'll be able to put the WS into bigger pots & a couple in the closet :greenthumb: ....as soon as I get it finished....LOL....my outdoor WS should be finished by about mid-April or thereabouts....the PP maybe late April - early May :greenthumb: good to see you got lotsa buds happenin' m8 :greenthumb: I seen some really nice WS buds at www.planetskunk.com ;) You'll find a link in my WS thread there which is titled 'Slayer grows White Skunk' .... :smokin: :stoned:

I saw Iron Maiden at Donnington Park (Monsters of Rock) in the early 90's when Guns N Roses played, they had a 20ft high Eddie on stage, WAFL. a couple of people got squashed to death tho when GnR came on stage - mental. I miss the days when I was a long greasy haired heavy metal biker - LOL.

that's a bummer slayer, sorry to hear that. Definately looks a male in that pic, maybe you can get the other back from the in-laws with a 'two for one' offer?

it was three weeks since my first clones went in yesterday, so i thought I would have a look at the three that ain't shown roots - two had small root growing and one just had bumps on the stem - i dipped that again in rooting hormone and broke one of the others roots by accident - oh well, it might pull through :|

are you gonna pop some more white skunk, or focus on the PP?

[SDK SLAYER]

that is a good question dude....you know, I reckon I might crack the last 3 WS seeds...can always get more....:D then the last girl (well, I hope it is....) can go under the light....the others can go outside :greenthumb: I really like the idea of harvesting 2 different strains a few weeks apart....leaves time for the 1st. lot to dry before you harvest the other strain....:greenthumb: And I get sick of smoking the same stuff day in, day out....to have a choice of what I wanna smoke is gonna be so awesome !! :thumbsup: hopefully I'll be able to get some cuttings of WS from the dude I gave the other seeds to about March or so....the plant in the last pic above is the only 1 that is definitely showing, the other 2 just have lil' bumps where the pre-flowers appear. :confused: LOL....a 16" pot won't fit in ma closet....2 x 14" fit nice tho....
those lil' bumps on the stem of yer cuttings are roots trying to break thru, so they want to grow man....just keep them warm, not too wet & they should be fine m8. :greenthumb:

yeah - i need to leave those clones alone :weedpoke:, I'm just glad that most seem to have taken root. all I need is 5 for mothers and another 12 or so to start a sog off, should be able to manage that before the first two finish flowering.

i'm spending so much time staring at my little buds i'm getting a tan, LOL.

good stuff m8 :stoned:- all's cool here. i rejigged the lights in the flower cab so the sides get a few rays. the 21-day stopped stretching at last. still only 5 rooted clones and only got 1 from what looks like the best plant :(, bigger buds and the trichs have started frosting on the bud leaves - look carefully :eek: at last pic.

[SDK SLAYER]

orright....lookin good m8 :greenthumb: nice pics, the plants stand out nicely in yer white bathroom....so, they must be nearly half-way thru the flower cycle....well, the packet says 45-50 days flowering, I have heard that this is from when you 1st. notice the flowers, not the actual days they have been flowering for....just keep an eye on the trichs....I can't find my loupe, I reckon I'll have to get another....have you got something to look at the trichs ?? I seen a rather cool lil' 30X microscope with it's own light source t'other day on e-bay for about $35 AU....might grab 1 of them....

[emmpey]

hey 6 of my new clones have rooted :D its only been 10 days since i put them in - that's well cool for me. looks like i'll be sogging in 2007! :yippee:

my flower time is going to be longer than 45 days. wiv CFLs you can safely add 25-30% longer. I reckon mine'll be 8-10 weeks, so 5-7 to go.

i have an old tasco, quite a solid little thing - it goes from 50x - 1200x. the eye peice makes a handy 20x loupe as well. I'll chop the first two at 30% amber and the other two i will wait for 50%. i seen the 30x ones here for like ten quid, so $35 sounds right.

[SDK SLAYER]

excellent, well done with the clones m8 :greenthumb: LOL....now I remember you said earlier they will take a lil' longer :stoned:
I was out in the garden earlier today :greenthumb: & I noticed the 2 girls have slightly different leaves....the right plant (16"pot) has 7 blade leaves, the other (14"pot) has 9 blade leaves....hmmmm....the males have 7 blade leaves, except for 1 of the top leaves, which has 8 :confused: I suppose it's nothing to worry about, just slight variations in the breed....here's a couple of pics, you'll see what I mean....
:hippy:

[emmpey]

nine blades was the most i got, but some had only seven max. yours looks more sativa than mine did, i'm only getting skinny blades last week or two. i had a couple of mutants too one had three fan leaves at each node, and once there were two seedlings in one seed, i seperated em but one died.

so do you reckon i should count from when flowers appeared, like day 11? i seen some flower pics and it says like day 12 but they look more like three weeks, praps they go from flowers appearing?

i got another clone rooted today.

[SDK SLAYER]

yo m8....if you look close, you'll see the leaves are folded like a valley type shape & not laying flat... the outside edges are turned up & it makes them look thinner than what they are....I've not seen a "2-headed snake" for ages, they're well trippy eh ?? as for counting days, I would count total days in flower as well as the days since flowers appeared....after 50 days of 12/12 check the trichs & see what is hapng....if you don't think it's ready, let it go til 45-50 days since buds appeared & check again....it all comes back to the individual plant....i.e. some may finish a little earlier than it's siblings....no probs like that with clones tho, they all finish at the same time. you'll just have to keep a close eye on them when they are close to being ready....when ma outdoor plants flower, I usually add a week from the day 1st. flowers appear to give me a rough idea of when they might be ready then watch the trichs....I usually harvest at approx. 50/50 clear/amber....but it's really up to you when you wanna chop 'em m8 :weedpoke: I done some work on ma closet, just need a power board & extractor fan & some flower nutes & it's ready to rock....sounds like you got yer own lil' clone army hapng there dude....

the holidays are over and my new year's resolution is to stop picking at the buds :D I had a nice smoke y'day - got about an eighth dried from a couple of branches - that would have probably been a nice 1/2 oz if i left em alone - LOL.

had a look at the trichs thru the scope today - all clear (surprise surprise) with just the odd cloudy here and there. you can see how much shorter the 3 week plants are after the stretch in the second pic.

I reckon 4 weeks to go for the first two. :)

Happy new year to you too m8 :jointsmile: ya, man....it's been really warm this summer....only 10-15 min. out in the sun with no shirt = a nice sunburn :mad: which is annoying coz I like to wear as little as possible & I have to be out there to tend the nursery etc. :D hehe, I know, it's hard to resist picking some fresh buds when they are right there in front of you & you don't wanna have to pay for weed :weedpoke: ya, definitely a lot of stretch, it's very similar to the way WW grows....yours are starting to fill out v. nicely dude :greenthumb: obviously they would be a lot bigger if you had more light power....ever thought of getting a lil' 250w HPS or similar just for the flower cycle ???? more light at this stage will really bulk them up & improve your overall yield significantly :greenthumb: have you tried taking a pic of the trichs thru yer scope ??? I seen some here somewhere, they looked pretty good....my bitch is growin hard, most of the lower branches have reached the outside edge of the pot & are nearly ready for some bondage....I'll let them go for another day or so then start tying them down :weedpoke: I'll pick up an exhaust fan for the closet this week sometime & get it cooking....I can't get hold of a cutting just yet :mad: so I'll put the smaller WS in there with 1 of the PP....hopefully they'll both be ladies :cool:

[emmpey]

i am hoping t'get a 400w hps in the future. my two CFLs kick out more lumens than a 250 HPS, the problem is penetration (f'nar f'nar), any bud more than 10" away is gonna yield shit - that's why I want to get the SOG dialed in (it also gives me a good excuse to smoke buds "oh dear, that's too far from the light - chop chop!") :D

i'm gonna pot up some of the clones today - i've got my future mothers sorted out, 2 from the vigorous plant and one each from the others (5 total). that leaves me with nine clones to go into the flower cab when the first two plants are done. I'll clone some more off my 1 remaining veg plant when the last two are nearly done and try an 18 plant SOG. :)

Growing will become a pleasure when I have half-a-pound tucked away :stoned:- at the mo I find it very frustrating waiting, it's like watching paint dry, or a kettle boil. :mad:. I'll see if i can get some pics through the scope - it's only a phone cam so don't hold your breath.

[emmpey]

that's jammy slayer - my neighbour's would be calling the police if they knew I had a grow. have you any idea what sort of yield your going to get from her? i think my later flowering plants will be yielding more than the first two, the buds are much tighter together after the stretch, may get 2-3oz from each.

getting back to your other posts (I been job hunting last few days so a bit busy :) ) 400w HPS - when I built my cab I did intend to get one but funds were low and I wanted to start asap. I don't think I could use a 400 with my CFLs unless I get bigger cab. also all that messing about with fans, scrubbers etc. goes against my 'keep it simple' ethos. :) post some more pics of your cab when you do some work, it might inspire me :D

i use tap water, its pH 7.2 and after adding my ferts it usually goes down to about 6.7. the soil readings are ~ 6.5 - 6.8, if it gets to high I add half a cup of flat coke to the water :D it's good for flowering (phosporic acid) plus the soil gets some sugary goodness - lol.

anyways, I gotta start work next week, what a bummer when only a few weeks away from harvest ;) I might have to throw an early sickie when my buds are ripe. :D

[SDK SLAYER]

yo emmpey....aye, he's a good neighbour :stoned: I don't really like to guesstimate yields, so many variables, so much temptation to sample :stoned: usually by the time my plants are ready, they have had a bit of trimming down low ;) ....atm, I could maybe get 7-8 oz. or so maybe....at the rate it is growing it could be more :greenthumb: It still has about 5 - 6 weeks to go before it starts flowering :greenthumb:

good call with the lighting....1 of the 1st. gardening rules of thumb, as it were, keep it simple....my cab is nearly done, just gotta work on getting good airflow thru it without major surgery to the closet....I'm gonna drill lotsa wee holes in the bottom floor so it can draw fresh air from underneath & see how that works....I should get in there today actually....

nice work with the coke....good idea man....similar to adding molasses, which I'm gonna try soon....apparently you can make a foliar spray with it as well :greenthumb:

good luck with yer new job dude....not much you can do, when the girls are ready, they're ready....hehe :stoned: do you have to do the harvest by yourself ??? we usually get m8's over to help with the bulky stuff, & they always go home off their nuts carrying some branches....;)

hi m8 - i hate work :) I've had to do some serious 'pruning' on my lower branches :D oh well.

My other two are going really well, I think i may have been underdoing the feeding with the first two though. I might do a partial harvest on one at the weekend, i know its early but I aint buying any more off the street and my puff is better. I don't think I'll need any help with the harvest - i wish i did cos that means i would have pounds and pounds :D

I might scrog that big vegging plant after taking a few clones first. it's making it akward keeping the other plants near the light.

first pic is from the bottom, second from the middle and last from the top. i think there's still a few weeks to go, whadya reckon?

[SDK SLAYER]

wow dude...they are getting very frosty....good idea with the coke bottles, u can pack a lot of 'em together in a small space & still get good root space :greenthumb: the big veg. plant of yours looks like a huge bonsai....it should throw a lot of buds....not sure exactly how hot the cab gets....no thermometer atm & not left the light on long enough to get really hot in there...another thing on the list....:stoned: :D I just read that low-powered crops can take approx. 20% longer to flower....so,the max flowering days for the WS is 50 days, or so it says on the packet, + 20% (10 days) = 60 days....about what you thought it might be....I'd be taking closer inspections with intent to harvest from about day 58 or so....have you stopped feeding them & started flushing ?? at about this stage is when I usually pierce the stems to really get the resin flowing....& a bit of sugar in the water to make the buds heavier & to sweeten them :greenthumb: ....here's some more pics....:D the top row of branches is filling out....:greenthumb:....look what I found at the bottom of the pot....

looking nice and healthy there bro. he he, yeah buds are frosty man, that's why i can stop picking em :D the trichs are mostly cloudy on one of the plants. I stop feeding this w/e - wos that about piercing the stem? never heard of that one - i'll have a read-up on it.

yah the 'bonsai' has been topped a couple of times, it's well bushy :) i'm gonna make a frame to scrog it. it's gotta about 4-5 weeks more vegging before there's room in the flower cab though. it'll be interesting comparing yields from sog, scrog and lst.

[SDK SLAYER]

yo m8 :D maybe a good idea to harvest the plant that is maturing faster to give the others a bit more room & yourself a bit of smoko ??? :jointsmile:
the piercing trick I got from an old book that I have called 'Marijuana Potency' by Michael Starks (And/Or Press:1977)....here is some quotes from it....

"Splitting the base is another practice believed to increase potency. In India, farmers reportedly twist the base of the stem or the flowering tops sometime before harvest. In Mysore, they twist the stem of the 2 month-old plant, then bend it horizontally & sometimes tie it in that position to encourage side branches. Still another custom, reportedly practised by the Burmese, is to split the stem about a month before maturity & insert a piece of wood, then gather together the tops & push them into a basket. (!)

In Mexico, farmers insert slivers of acote, (a type of pine) through the root of the plant below ground level when the plant is about 4 feet high. They claim that this prevents the formation of seeds & gives the MJ a piney flavor, both highly unlikely.

The Tepehua of Oaxaca, Mexico produce extremely potent MJ by growing the plants in a hostile environment & by severe pruning. They pinch off the tips from young seedlings, thus removing the apical meristem with it's high concentration of auxins. This leads to the production of many lateral meristems. The new lateral meristems are pruned once a week to produce a small, urn-shaped bush. Shoots that would ordinarily fill the interior of this "urn" are also removed. The exterior looks almost crystalline due to the heavy resin accumulation, & many plants develop a red pigmentation (cyanins). The leaves change from the ordinary palmate shape to verticillate or whorled (like the spokes of a wheel) balls of entire (smooth-edged) leaves & abortive (incomplete or immature) flowers. When the blood-like colour begins to appear, 2 wooden splinters are inserted through the stem just above the ground at right angles to each other. At present there is no evidence that this latter practice has any effect on potency, but it is interesting to note that the stems are similarly bruised or impaled by various Asian MJ farmers.

To sum up, though many peoples around the world prune MJ plants, or split their stems, there is no scientific proof that these practices increase potency. However, any kind of stress tends to increase potency somewhat, though usually at the cost of decreasing the total yield. "

There is another passage somewhere in the book, I'll find it & post it later. I usually pierce about 2 weeks or so b4 harvest....I tried to take some higher-res. pics of old plants with piercings....you can see the stake anyways.... I am a definite believer in this technique m8, after it's done you can almost see the resin increasing :greenthumb: I use a pocket knife to stab the stem, give it a good wriggle to make some room in the wound & then literally hammer the stake thru....sounds brutal & looks fatal but it won't kill them :weedpoke: They all finish normally, the buds keep filling out....just got lots more resin all over the plant :greenthumb:

nice work m8 - i'll give that a go on one of my second two ladies so I can compare them. I was gonna chop one next weekend cos i got a friend visiting who likes a puff. I've only been taking buds off of one plant so that'll be chopped and i'll leave the other until i see 30-40% amber.

jeesh, there are some nutters out there man - like those guys killing stingray's after irwin's death.


here in S.A. you can have up to, erm, it was 5 , now I think it's 3 or 4 , outside plants & just get an on the spot fine with no conviction if busted

the old bill here turn a blind eye for personal use. i gor burgled a few years ago and when I got back home two coppers were sitting in the lounge... along with a half ounce sitting right in the middle of the floor on a skinning mat :D I had to admit it was mine when they asked but they said it was cool, they just wanted to make sure it wasn't the burglars' :confused:. stupid burglars that bag was worth more than the VCR they took ;)



there is just soooo much weed grown down here m8, I reckon that at least 1 house in 5 has a grow room....
in the UK 6 million people smoke regularly and over half grow their own, it's something like £1bn per year on grow sales - seeds, lights, nutes etc. the govt ain't gonna want to cut off that tax revenue in a hurry :)

Daddy Are You There? :)

[SDK SLAYER]

wtf....:confused:

[emmpey]

the first two are the week 5, the buds are a lot more compact on the stem - shorter node length, expecting a decent yield from those. the third is the untouched (except for testing ;) ) 7 weeks - looks like a couple of oz's at the mo - two more weeks for that i reckon. and the last one is the one i been puffing off for the last two weeks, about an oz and a bit left :D

[SDK SLAYER]

woah dude....they are getting seriously fat....what is the overall height of yer ladies ??? just wondering coz I may be able to do an approximate yield estimate with my bitch when she start to flower....another 40 deg. day today, I had to give her a top-up drink this morning coz she was a lil' wilty....she got a good feed this arv :greenthumb: 1 of the sprouts is a bit pale & freaky lookin' :weedpoke:

:hippy:

[emmpey]

the branches are about 18" long on the first two and 14" on the second. i expect more from the second 2 cos there's a lot more bud closer to the light. still only see cloudy and clear trichs at the mo...

I found a wire basket which i chopped up to make a scrog screen :D gonna take some more clones in a week or two.

anyways, here's a pic of the big WS bitch from yesterday....it started raining yesterday & hasn't stopped yet....not real heavy, just drizzly....I tied down the ends of the top branches again....I reckon that will be enough now, there is about 20 or so side branches growing off them :greenthumb:

hey socialist pete - thanks for dropping by :) its only about two o's, about 1/4 oz per branch - i smoked lots of buds already :) got another two at seven weeks that should yield more.

got the pics off the cam...1st is me clones on day 1, they're 12", i wanted them in at 8" but the other plants didn't finish in time. the other pic is two plants at 53 days. they need a few more weeks.

[SDK SLAYER]

yo m8....looking good, the clones look healthy as....my cuts aint doin so well, I got some better lights....still only 1 grow tube with a white....at least both are working....the extra heat forced me to raise the lights a bit & we've had some really hot days lately(the room they are in is north-facing & gets hot) & 5 have wilted now :( the remaining 4 are looking good tho....



I think the little freaky WS sprout is a girl
NOT....:( fookin thing....got 1 more that is yet to show....the big bitch is stretching a bit now....the ends of the top branches have grown about 10" (250mm) since they turned upwards :greenthumb: total height is just under 1m (3'4") or so & about 1.2m wide....drinking about 4L a day in the heat....branches are starting to fill out all over & I seen the beginnings of some sparkly bits this morning :greenthumb: I can't w8 to make some hash :S5: here's some pics....

I got about a dry ounce left from my second plant, need to get some scales. it's now curing off, but even after a couple of days in the jar its a much improved smoke, its developing a really nice pungent aroma on it as well - a quality pong in my books. need to stretch this one out for a few weeks till my other two are done.

I take a 15 minute pause half way through a joint otherwise I end up a bit too munged out and cant do anything :upsidedow - nice man. no street puff round here does that. a pal had some at the w/e and was talking bollocks after 4 tokes - lol. I find it quite giggly and my fingers are shredded from playing the guitar. it's only 20% amber and there is a touch of couch-lock about half-an-hour after a joint - ideal for having a tea-break in front of the telly and eating a packet of jaffa cakes- :D

:S5:

[SDK SLAYER]

:S2: sounds good dude, I can't wait to hit some unsuspecting m8's with it as well :S5: So how much would you smoke per day ?? do you mix tobacco wit yer joints ?? just wondering....Those buds look almost like I trimmed them, I tend to leave crystal-covered leaf on the colas as well :thumbsup: nice stuff m8 :greenthumb:
Only 4 clones left now, hope to get some new tubes later this week....that will perk them up a bit....I also found that the 1" blocks dried out way too quick, the cuts in the 2" blocks are looking much better than the rest....next time, I'll be taking a heap more cuts all in big blocks :greenthumb:
The big WS bitch is stretching & filling out still, I took an overhead shot of her yesterday for a different view....also start using OMGJ Tonic this week, it has lots of potassium, phosphorus, natural hormones like Triacontanol & Gibberellic Acid as well as organic micro organisms to enhance size, taste & aroma of the buds :greenthumb:It's main ingredient is a bee's wax derivative, hence the bee on the lable :D It is recommended for the last half of the flowering cycle, I start using it about a week before....e.g. for a 6 week flower cycle, I use the Monsta bud for the 1st. 2 weeks, then MB with Tonic for the next 2 weeks, then Tonic on it's own for 1 week & flush for the last week :greenthumb: Not sure if it is available in the U.K., there's a link to their site in my sig :greenthumb:

I'm really impressed by the strength & flexibility of the WS stems, I've not had any 'accidental' splits anywhere yet....that may change when the tops start piling on weight....I'll prolly split the main stem next weekend :weedpoke: I'll post pics of the ordeal ;) I think it's at about 4 weeks into flower atm, I calculate this from 1 week before I noticed the flowers :greenthumb:

[emmpey]

Hey Slayer. the big girl's looking good m8! Yeah, the stems are flexible, I noticed that when I was LSTing and when the branches got top heavy, they could flop way down without kinking.

I bust my ph meter a while ago, and my other two in flower got a bit of burn or something :( all the fan leaves got hit and they're generally looking pissed off - lol. I flushed em and can just hope for the best, decieded not to try the split stem on this occasision cos they look too stressed. I could really have done with some of those bud boosters on those two. ;)

The clones are fully flowering now - they've been in for 9 days. I'm taking clones from the last big plant before scrogging it next week. my mothers need a prune so I'll probably take some clones off them too.

Have decieded to get a 400w HPS sorted out asap. primarily to shorten my flowering time but also to get my buds bigger - I'll flog the cfl's on ebay to try and recover some funds :D

regarding my consumption levels :) - i can comfortabaly smoke an eighth a day if i'm not doing anything - so almost an ounce a week. at the mo tho I smoke about half a week cos I'm working. I usually have about 5 j's a day. I use about 1/2 a cig mixed with equal amount of bud. although I've started using less weed as it seems to have gotten a lot stronger after a week's cure - definately more couchlock now and it smells and tastes well nice :stoned:.

I found out that Ozi Magic Grow Juice is available in the U.K :D the distributor is Advanced Wholesale in Leeds :D ph# 0113 244 0433 :D give them a ring & they should be able to tell you your nearest retailer :thumbsup:
well done with the clones, I have got 4 left now :( 3 will probably go over the back fence & the other 1 will go in my cab to flower :D I gotta move 'em sometime this week coz the PP is getting a bit too big for the cab (& it's pot) & I wanna take heaps of cuttings from it as well :D
A 400w is the go m8....should get at least 3 maybe 4 flower cycles from the globe before you'll need to get a newy....it's the most expensive bit of a growlight, ballasts & shades cost fuck-all to buy (& make).
We would probably comsume about the same amount, tho I tend to smoke less when I've got heaps of it in the house :D We don't smoke it with 'spin' as it called down here....I just prefer the natural taste of the weed but I know some ppl who can't smoke weed without it....I usually use a bong, don't really smoke joints or pipes very often, unless we're out & about or visiting m8's or at a concert or whatever :jointsmile:

eh-up mate, thanks for the heads up on the gro juice - i'm gonna track me some down for sure :D - bet it cost's more than a $ tho' - lol. Your big girls looking good m8, can you do some close-ups of the buds? how many days has it been?

The other two are getting chopped tomorrow. one of em is already past it I think, I took a little bud off and it was very dry - although the trichs are all cloudy wiv a few amber. i did do a flush when i suspected it was going wrong (when the fan leaves fell off :) ) but maybe too late - oh well, shit happens, at least I should get a few joints out of em - he he.

my clones are flowering on day 17 now, they're looking nice and healthy and pretty much finished stretching, they put on about 6" on top of 12" - so 50%. I'll get the scrog one in next week after taking some clones - I think clones may be the way to go wiv these CFLs - they already have much thicker branches than the LST'd plants and tighter bud spacing

hehe....ya man, can't quite see the '8' on the price tag....the MB sells for about $18/L....the Grow is about $15/L & $20/L for the Tonic....cheaper if you buy it in bulk tho, 5L of MB or Tonic is about $55 - $60....probably about 25 - 30 pounds or so....not sure of the exchange rates :wtf:

I wanna see what you're buds look like when you cure them. I have a similar genetic mix and even though I'm using CFL's I've been stalking this thread for quite some time, Cheers.

great grow read it all this morning while at work, or you and empsey meant to be growing the same plant tho, gotta say his looks like a White Widow cross, whereas yours is more Northern lights or another Sativa prominant strain, good luck your buds are gonna love that sun while finishing wait for over 50% amber trichs that way youll get more of a stoney high couch lock when u smoked the green after curing.

weedmaster: Cheerz dude....This is my 1st. proper grow for 2 years & my old loupe is in the house somewhere, just can't find it :wtf: I'll find something else soon. I usually wait for approx. 50/50 or thereabouts....depends on my paranoia level :stoned:

KL4D4: hehe....Cheerz dude....so you're the stalker....:D j/k ....there must be a few others I think....

Trainer07: Cheerz dude :thumbsup:

Hi all :jointsmile: Harvest went ahead last week, it had gone over 47 days since I 1st. noticed flowers so, choppy choppy :weedpoke: Was done in 2 sessions....1st. all of the main leaf was stripped off....this makes it easier to trim & easier for autofocus on my cam....also looks better for pics....then we started on the lower branches & couldn't finish it all on Wed. nite so the top 2 branches & all of it's side branches were chopped Thurs. nite....:jointsmile: Total wet weight was 24 oz. :thumbsup: Total dry weight was just under 7.5 oz. of bud with just over 1oz. of trim leaf & small buds....I have made some hash already from the trim....not bad at all....I'm well wasted....:greenthumb: It was hung in the spare room with the cab & it dried a lil' too quick....not to worry, I've got 2oz. from the top 4 end colas curing in glass jars....I'll try not to touch them for a couple of weeks....pics are....left to right....leaf still on....during trimming....the top rack....some canna porn :wtf: ....my new pipe(I got a bigger cone for it now :D )....I'll post 5 more pics here & the rest in the 'pictures' section....


emmpey: Where are you dude ?? Tied to some strange woman's bed or something ??? :D j/k m8....just wondering....you haven't posted for ages....:wtf:

My WS clones are still going well....I have transplanted mine into a 12" 300mm pot ready for flowering later this week....The other 2 are going into a m8's hydro setup....
I pulled the she/he the other day....I didn't want it blowing a load over my PP bitch....will make some hash from it :jointsmile:

I gave some seedlings to a grower m8 several weeks ago....a WS & a PP....They both turned out to be girls !!!! good stuff....he is going to clone them (& pass them on to other growers :greenthumb: )....let them finish flowering & then re-veg them under lights ;)

I have to try some different stuff too, sometime. So far most of the plants and varieties I've grown seem very, very much alike.
