Here is my retro-log of a grow I just harvested.

I grew one South African Durban Poison x Skunk #1 from Sam the Skunkman. I got the seeds as a freebie from Gypsy Nirvana. From what I understand, Sam the Skunkman is one of the people who created Skunk #1, so I was excited to grow this out.

I started the plant in a peat pellet and fed it pH adjusted tap water down to 6 pH. Once its roots started to poke out of the peat pellet, I put it in a Waterfarm and ran it on a continuous drip.

The seedling was under 2 CFL's until it was 5" tall (13 cm). Then, I fired up my air-cooled 400W HPS in a C13 (gotta represent the C13's!), with a 265 CFM blower.

Total veg time was 20 days or so on an 18/6 schedule. It was fed Ionic Grow nutes 3-1-5 and Hygrozyme. When the plant was 12" tall (30 cm), it got switched to 12/12 for flowering. Nutes were then switched to Ionic Bloom 4-5-8 and Ionic 0-5-6. This nutrient regimen lasted about 2 weeks and then I ran out of Ionic Bloom.

So, I switched over to the 3-part General Hydroponics nutes: Flora Micro 5-0-1, Flora Gro 2-1-6 and Flora Bloom 0-5-4, using the instructions on the bottle.

Just plain tap water was used, which has a pH of 7 and is not run through a water softener.

Attached are pics of the plant about 2 weeks from harvest. You will notice my hood is too big for the cabinet and the plant grew waaaayyyy too close to the glass for my liking. Cabinet temps would top out at 90 degrees and the plant got within 3 inches of the glass, which may have caused some problems (see next post).

The plant grew fast, healthy and strong. The stem was .75" thick, and there was never a nute deficiency or nute burn.
