Atlas Seeds Tricross / Sensi Skunk Auto

Seedlings are coming along nicely. Tricross strain has already caught up to day earlier pop skunk seedling. Everything seems to be going by the book but confident that will change, always does... hoping for 1oz+ per plant and frosty. Wasn't planning on getting to the cure stage this run. I'm leaning on going fresh frozen for some bubble and qwiso. 5th day all seeds are 2.5"+, one of the skunks has surpassed 3.5". Built up soil at base of stem and will start fan this weekend to slow stretch. Turned up light to roughly 70% instead of lowering light, it's a pain in the ass. Ive always thought just to raise gain on light is easier on plants. New set of leaves showing in all 3 seedlings and dynomyco that I left on top of soil is breaking down. That dynomyco spread few inches below seed is probably going wild right now with root growth. End of week 1 and going strong. All seedlings are 3"+ and new leaf growth is taking off. No liquid ferts as usual for me this grow. Sticking to strictly using flower girl nutes for these autos. The soil mixture I made up will feed the plants nicely into flower and then I'll amend the top of soil with flower girl

12/18 Bumped up light and seedlings responded. New leaf growth and original fan leaves are beginning to enlarge. One skunk picked up a yellow variegation on leaves. Nothing to worry about yet at least. I'm thinking I have this week and next before flowering starts. Had to make some diy humidifiers out of paper towels and glasses of water to bump up humidity around pots. 12/19 Added 1mg cal/mag to my 1/2gal watering jug. Plants doing nicely and stem starting to thicken. First skunk seed to pop is beast of the group and growth is quicker than the other 2. Each pot getting 1 liter of ph'd water a day with this week getting small dose of cal/mag. Decided to start a light amendment to speed up root growth . Using flower girl by Dr Earth for my nutes this grow. Mixed a standard spoonful of nutes into the topsoil of each plants and misted it down with water. Supposedly flower girl contains mycorrhizae. I mixed it into my soil before seeding to add some beneficial stuff with the ffof / compost mix. I also mixed some dynomyco into each pot before seeding. All 3 plants are beyond expectations at 7-8 days since seeds dropped into soil. 12/20 All the plants are cruising along nicely except the skunk strain. Both plants are developed yellow variegation in both their first set of fan leaves. At least I know it's strain related and not a fuck up on my end. Noticed increase of growth since first soil amendment. Stems are now doubled in size since first set of leaves. I've come to understand how valuable a legit par meter is. 12/21 Moved plants up closer to grow light and they responded quite well. Leaf growth took off since this morning. Mycorrhizal fungi has started growing heavily along surface of soil today. Mixed it up into soil and lightly sprayed with water to keep growth going. First time using dynomyco and I'm impressed. I'm used to using liquid salt ferts and this soil amendment shit is new to me. Impressed so far with everything and look forward to the next few weeks 12/23 Topped the largest skunk and tricross strain and left the other skunk as is for a control. 12/24 Topped plants produced new nodes overnight. Leaf growth still moving along nicely with all plants. 12/25 Hit them up with some flower girl tea and they started praying. Believe I have manganese deficiency. Uped my cal/mag to 3mg to gal. I use Bloom City cal/mag and it has plenty of those micro nutrients that other brands don't have. Minor leaf tip curl starting in one the skunks. I'll lay off water tomorrow and just spray top of soil and see it that fixes issues.

12/27 Plants are doing fine. All plants were developing an issue and showing it in their leaves. The first set of fan leaves showed early on the skunk strain and had me wondering about a micro nutrient issue. Then the tricross plant had same issues. Member on a grow page mentioned...being so young it was doubtful being a nutrient issue. Gave plants some more distance from light. More than likely light burn seems to be the culprit. 12/29 All plants are doing fine. The tricross strain that was left natural and it's branching off like it's been topped. Both skunk strains were topped and one was also fimmed. The just topped skunk is blowing up on size. The double cut skunk one hasn't taken off yet. I removed a few fan leaves to light up lower branch formations. That should encourage some vigor hopefully. I purchased a woozoo oscillating fan and am super impressed. Best tent fan I've ever owned and I've only owned this one for 2 hrs. Soil amendments with flower girl at 2 spoonfuls for all 3 with bottom soak and good watering. Might have to add a wet towel to tent to increase humidity. Light has been bumped to approximately 70%. Depending on how growth goes with this heavy watering, I would like to have light at 100% by end of weekend. I also added 4oz of flower girl tea I made to each plant during watering . I'm really impressed with the tricross strain from Atlas Seeds..it was a freebie from multiverse and it's out shining the sensi skunks 12/30 Growth was definitely noticed overnight since heavy watering. Double cut skunk is starting to make size. Also had pistils showing up on all 3 plants. Bottom soak is now a regular watering method in my playbook 12/31 Opened up canopy of plants and bumped up light to 100% for overnight to see what happens. All plants are in preflower and showing pistils. Bumped up my calmag to 5ml gal. Incorporating bottom soak all of my plants from now on. Why I never have done this regularly is beyond stupid. 1/2 Plants doing well and starting preflower. Pistils showing and slight dank smell. Watering with flower girl tea every other watering and rotating plants under LED. Clipped a few leaves off all plants to improve light penetration. Upped my calmag to 5ml gal with regular bottom soak during watering. Tricross strain looks like a winner for future grows

1/4 All plants are doing fine. Flower girl tea every other watering and this shit stinks bad mixed with water. Straight up sewage smell. 1/6 Decided to thin out some leaves and glad I did. Plants responded like nothing happened at all. I probably removed 15%+ off each plant. Hoping for some flower stretch to increase yield. Plants all sit at 9" to 10.5" now, so a 17-20" finish shouldn't be a problem. Depending on yield I might switch to all 1gal pots for my small 2x2 grows. 3 plants are easily manageable with fan and a dehumidifier if needed. 1/7 Going to flush all 3 plants and get a runoff pH later today. No issues yet but want to be sure before flowering takes off. 1/9 Decided not to flush plants and just heavy watered then flower girl tea. Plants never showed over watering issues and started praying to light within few hrs. Growth over the past 2 days between all the 3 plants were 2-3". Buds are filling in and smell has showed up. Defoliation on all 3 plants to open up bud spots to light. 1/10 Tricross strain has developed nute burn from the flower girl tea I've been using. Both skunk strains haven't shown any issues with nute burn or anything else. Tricross will now get tea mixed at half strength after she gets over burn. Flushed tricross strain with pH water to push out nutes to improve issues. Half ass flushed the skunk plants just cause I was in that process. No watering for a couple days, so thats a benefit.

1/11 Flush seemed to cure the nute burn in the tricross strain. Noticed nute burn also on one of the skunks. Caught it early and everything seems cool. Defoliated all 3 plants to open space and prevent powderery mildew from kicking in. Plants look like they could take some water but going to wait till morning. Weights of pots indicate plenty of moisture still in pots. 1/13 Growth has seemed to slow down for all plants and now seem to be concentrating on producing buds. Both skunks look good and should yield nice for 1gal pots. The tricross has a christmas tree structure. Each main branch off the stem has multiple side branches with bud all over them. Stank is coming in nicely now. Tricross has a citrus peppery smell and the skunks have the typical fruity smell. 1/16 All plants doing well and fattening up bud spots producing sugar leaves . Vertical growth seems to have stopped with skunks at 12.5-13" and the tricross getting roughly an 1/8 a day in vert growth. It stands at 14 1/8" today with buds fattening up daily. Noticed nute burn on the only plant that I thought didn't get affected. The skunk showed it after the flush from days ago yesterday. Very minimal tip curl and will pinched when crunchy. Glad I decided to flush her too. Was going to let her ride but had extra water and said fuck it. With the 24/7 light, 1gal pots and how everything has exceeded my expections rolling with 3 plants in my 2x2x4. I'm thinking my harvest time should be mid Feb for all the plants. Decided to wash one skunk after a one day dry then freezer for bubble. The other skunk to cure hopefully unless i get greedy and make more bubble. The tricross will goto full cure to sample what it offers. This strain will grow beastly in a larger pot. I have 2 more seeds left from my freebies to run. I'm thinking of running them together in my new tent in 3gal pots. I'll use the short in height 3gal pots. Using these type of pots I swear shave a week off veg and promotes roots to go nute searching for the early flowering buds. Tight node structure on all stems whether cut on or left natural. Just my experience and 2¢ with the short and fat pots. Chiefing on some headband right now, thank God for autocorrect. 1/17 Light nutes this watering 1/4 strength to check to see if I'm all clear. Cut my flower girl tea ratio for this feed and plants perked up more than normal. Orange hairs are developing on all plants bud spots and stank is getting better by the day. Tricross has a fruity gas stink and the skunks have a citrus smell going on. Sprayed all plants with some Capt jacks dead bug spray. I figured I had a possible tripe issue. Used some Dr Earth final stop and decided to purchase some Capt jacks to make real sure they disappear. I figured the diatomaceous earth that I premix in my soil before planting and topped during growth would have knocked them out. Spinosad is they way to go with when final stop and natural oil remedies ain't showing love.

1/18 I'm guessing in reality I'm in the middle of week 5 not 6. Plants are doing fine and take multiple defoliations weekly. Over the nute burn and plants are putting on weight every watering. Humidity loss isn't helping me lately with running heat in FL. Leaf structure tightening during tent time due to excessively lower humidity than normal for me. Typical humidity for me is in the 39-45 during flowering. Last few days had my humidity at 28-32. I'm thinking my harvest will be in 30 days and hoping for 40g dry a plant. 1/19 Amended top of soil with flower girl with all plants. Heavy watering and the buds took on some size overnight. Trichomes starting to form on top buds and the sweet smell of dank is coming out with 2 of the plants..the other skunk is still a few days behind it seems in growth. 1/20 Plants sucking up the water at greater clip than normal so I decided to hit them heavy again tonight. No leaf tip hook so I felt cool about it. Granted they are in 1gals so watering is daily. Nodes are expanding and slowly growing up the stems. Trichomes are visible on all 3 plants now. Tricross strain is pumping out the early frost. Making me rethink letting her goto cure and just make some bubble out of her in a few wks. Contemplating starting a Barney's pineapple express auto run. Plants supposedly seed to harvest in 60 days with good yields. Holding back on 2 tent's rolling at same time. 1/22 Blasted watching the Packers give Brady another ring by losing to 49ers. Rodgers was Brady's only competition and it was in his own conference. Plants are doing fine and having heavy waterings every 24-36 hrs. Buds are thickening up and smell is getting rich with citrus tones from skunks and a fuel stank from tricross is coming out. Going to give a light flower girl tea at 1/5 strength at 1/1 ratio watering tomorrow and watch for reactions. Shouldn't have nute burn at that minute amount during heavy bud growth period. Anything to assist some stack on these buds. I've premixed a 2mg 1/2gal jug of kloombloom 0-10-10 but have held back. Made a commitment to using soil amendments only this grow and fuck it I'm this deep, keep rolling with it. 1/23 Hit them with some nute tea this afternoon after a light watering and plants started praying hrs later. Plants seem to like the tea juice when not used too heavily and given after a light watering to help with dilution. Seems like the buds on the skunks are putting on girth and the tricross is making extra frost daily. 40+g per plant isn't going to be an issue for me at harvest. Wasn't too sure what was going to happen with 1gal pots and size yield. I'm happy with the growth I've gotten out of both strains in the 1gals. 50-60 days, 3 plants, 4oz +/- is how I'm seeing things as of today. I'm expecting some stack on the skunks so that total yield will increase. The tricross hasn't taken off yet with bud growth like the skunks. I'm thinking the tricross has a longer lifespan and hasn't peaked it's flower growth. She's sticky AF though.

Decided that the flower girl soil amendment needed some help. One feeding of kloombloom nute water and the buds swelled overnight. Flower girl is taking too long to break down for root access and I'm needing bulk now. Tricross strain smells like fuel and ground pepper now. Both skunks are fruity with a hint of citrus coming out. Got a new light viparspectra vs1500 and decided to switch out grow LED in this tent. Plants seem to like the LM301B LEDs, praying quicker than normal after watering. The 150w horticulture maxisun 281B+ LED that was in here was great and performed well. Just going to give my mom a tent setup for vegetables and this light would be perfect for a 3x3 veg garden. 1/30 Plants are deep into flower and the smell is cranking up. Tricross is a chemmy and peppered stank. Skunks are the usual fruity citrus tone stink. Glad I gave into feeding kloombloom or these buds might have never swelled the way they are now. Flower girl works great as a tea additive cause of plants taking up nutrients instantly. Adding as a soil amendment takes some time to break down into soil and have plants take up nutes. Combo of kloombloom 2ml daily watering, flower girl tea and amendment and I have a steady supply of bloom nutes till cut time. Still targeting 2nd week of Feb for harvest for the skunks. I'll see where I am at with them next weekend with trichome color and decide when to final flush the pots real good. The tricross is still a week behind the skunks in bud growth, but the frost and stink is weeks ahead of them. You can tell this strain is made for fresh frozen just by the smell it produces and it's not even hit that flower bud stretch yet. Hopefully it will like the skunks did. Multiple colas on each plant are already pill bottle in diameter and stacking size daily. 1/31 Kloombloom is the shit. Best bulking nute out there in my book. Doubled diameter of buds since using it and it's been less than a week. Plants are doing fine and show no type of deficiencies or issues. Bugs have been non-existent since Capt jacks deadbug and top coat of diatomaceous for all pots. Amazing how eggs and larvae can live throughout insecticide precautions and months to come to life when you lest expect it. I've went ahead and started a new run for this tent. This run will also be in 1gal fabpots and will reverse the current one now. My last 2 tricross auto seeds and another sensi auto skunk. I'll also be doing a another diary on my Barney's pineapple express run too. My plan for that tent is probably all 3 seeds from pack and more than likely sticking with 2gal fabpots to control size if possible with this strain. 4 wk veg and 6wk flower is what Barney's is claiming for pineapple express auto and I'm going to put that to the test and see if thats possible. Should be with heavy PAR and light nutes from 2nd wk on through veg cycle to ramp up growth before switching to flower nutes. This viparspectra xs1500 is a badass 150w and provides plenty of par value at 12-14" to expedite your grow. Going from the maxisun pb1500 to this was bigger upgrade than I expected. The overall brightness doesn't seem as bright as the pb1500 but the plants respond quicker and longer with no issues of light burn which i had with the maxisun. The maxisun does get hotter by min of 8-10° overall in tent temp so it had to go. My mom will enjoy it in her 3x3 real vegetable grow tent.

2/3 All 3 plants are doing fine and stacking size daily. Kloombloom at 1mg daily and 4mg every other day has amassed some bulk on these buds in less than 2wks. So much for just using soil amendments exclusively for me. Everything seems to be dialed in and no issues at all with any plants. Was hoping for a cutting next weekend, doubtful for 2 plants but 1 skunk looks to be close...or close enough for some fresh frozen. 2/5 All 3 plants are developing swell daily with kloombloom daily light and heavy every other day. Tricross is smelling dank and looks alot closer to cut than both skunks right now. Seems there is some amber coming along. I'll check with my jewelers eye tomorrow to confirm from what I can see and smell. If the tricross gets done earlier than both skunks, I will cut all 3 regardless of how much longer the skunks need. The tops of the skunks will go to cure and the rest will be frozen after 2 day dry. Going to try and dry them out for few days and see if that makes a difference in bubble yield. Yield is horrible with fresh frozen but the flavor with terpenes is on point depending on strains. Still want the flavs and taste but want some fucking yield. 5% is considered incredible to me with fresh frozen.. always hear and read every one say I get 10%+ or some stupid number yield. Fresh frozen numbers not cured bud but Whatever ..so anything to climb my numbers is worth a try. 2/7 Plants are doing great and putting on some swell daily. Tricross has 10%+/- amber trichomes already on lower buds and 5% on top half of plant buds. Odd scenario indeed but I'll take it. The bottom buds are denser and more fragrant than the rest of the plant. Skunks are just fattening up and citrusy smell is disapating and the dank smell is being more pronounced. Lowered the light to 12" to increase par and try to finish these plants off enough for whatever I plan with them. I have a 3 pack of Barney's pineapple express autos I want to run in this 72" height tent. Plan is to run those in 2gal fabpots and hopefully get 30"+ for decent yields 2/9 Plants are doing fine with some dieing off of some leaves going on. So that's a good sign of the plants getting real close to end game. Some of the dieing off is of previous nute burn that was caught early but buds are stacking so nutes will keep coming for few more days daily. Tricross and one skunk are cuttable now at 10%+ trichome color but will wait at least till sunday to cut and light trim before hanging. Whichever skunk is lacking in doneness will get frozen for bubble. Then all the trim and larf from other plants will be run together and the fresh frozen will be run separately from one another. Might separate the tricross trim and larf to get a taste of this strain cause of the frost piling up on her.

2/12 Plants getting cut and hung to dry out on monday. Flushed plants last night with pHd water. Still got bud growth with both skunks going and the tricross is stagnant with growth but has leaf die off going fast, so she's ready now with 15%+ darked trichomes. Got a pineapple express auto run for this tent next so I'm ready to get it going asap. Figured another week of commitment to dry out in this tent before they get tented. Light trim before hang and save those trims for a bubble run 2/17 All plants are in final flush stage and will definitely be cut this weekend. Tricross is something fierce with the stank and smells dangerous. One of the skunks is 20%+ dark trichomes and ready while the other is spotty between 5-10% throughout the buds on plant. Plan was to cut them before super bowl last weekend but decided to give them an extra week for added potency and tricross seems to have responded. Stank has increased twofold easily and buds have stopped all growth. So she is definitely ready and just ripening up that buzz before I cut her. One of the skunks has increased trichome buildup while the other seems to have feel back a few weeks. Both skunks have bud growth still but it is minimal and noticable daily. Die off of leaves on tricross and one skunk has picked up speed and yellowing is occurring hard with most leafage from middle up in the plants. Looking forward to burning some personal grow soon 2/20 Tricross wet weight after final flush and 2 day dark out 107.2g Skunks wet weight after final flush and 2 day dark out 129.2 and 137.0 266.2g All plants are hanging at 74-76° and 55-66 RH Definitely expecting more weight, 2 day no water cut the weight of the buds in half before chop. Tricross smells nasty when bumped or rubbed. Letting loose that dank stank. Skunks have a light citrusy stank and should ripen nicely. I was hoping to load up more than a few jars with this grow. That ain't happening with the total wet weight hanging now. That's the downside of a quicker grow in 1 gal pots. I've heard some 20mencino strains get big and yield good in 1gal and 2gal. Maybe I'll jump on some as freebies with multiverse. Thats the breeder for the freebies as of now with multiverse orders. Pineapple express is next in this tent and I'm excited about that. A strain that normally completes at 2 months works for me. Not speculating on yields on that grow yet and jinx my ass like this one. I feel quit confident they will not be grown in 1gals this go around.

Skunk strain was relatively easy to grow. Both plants stayed short and branched out after being topped and fimmed. Colas stacked on all 4 sides of each plant. Apparently had a mite issue into dry and caught it 2nd day. Sprayed with deadbug and that was that. I believe the tent that I using for dry had an infestation from germination of some pepper plants with untreated soil. That's all on me by not thinking about it beforehand. Strain has citrusy stink and was cut at 20%ish dark trichs. One plant has a fuel stink that produced during dry. Shocked at dry weight after hanging them wet. Forgot to remember these were in 1gal pots with smaller stems / branches are nothing like the larger potted plants. Hence the better wet to dry ratio. Bud is definitely a better taste and smell on inhale and ex with a grind. Bud grinds up nicely with a light and dark hues of green. Few buds have a rip of purple going through them. Recognized this after 3rd bud grinder checked for dryness, cool bonus. 85.4 total grams dry is what I ended up with. Shitty trim job contributes probably a gram a plant but whatever. I swear leaf matter helps the high to me by densing up the bong and the fact I not anal about my personal trim on buds. Plants took nutes well at no greater than half strength and burn was experienced with both plants. Burn was introduced by using flower girl and kloombloom at 3/4 strength together. Heavy flushing took care of the problem. Still have 2 seeds for a future grow or a giveaway to a friend to enjoy. 3/5 Skunk has tightened up it's smell since dry. Some buds still has a slight dampness to them but not enough to cause any issues. I'm keeping them stored in seallock tupperware that isn't a real total seal. Hopefully keeping mold issues nill. Still popping lids on all containers a few times a day minutes at a time. One skunk plant has developed a chemmy slight ammonia smell with hint of citrus. Other skunk is all light mango and citrus. Both plants still have a light hay smell cause of dry trim. That smell will disappear in next week after full on dry and regular weed stank will start to come through with cure. Grind bud rips way better and tastier than pinched off and bowled. So far taste on pull and release isn't anything special but will improve in time. Worse cause scenario I will freeze and wash for some aged sleepy bud to add to some fresh frozen. All buds will be lightly rotated in hand with gloves to break off few sugar leaves and trichome dump for bubble. After that glass jars will be home for buds till burn, concentrate, friends etc.

This strain is a fucking trich monster. Super fluffy sticky and leaves that stink on your fingers for awhile. Strong chemmy berryish stank and leaves an aftertaste of strong bud. Wish I separated trim from skunks for bubble taste. Growing 2 other tricross now for future stock up and bubble hash. Plant grew like it was in magazine. Perfect spacing of branches and whatnot. 10/10 imo and perfect plant with higher THC for quick grow in 1gal fabpot. Plant took nutes at a reduced level to half strength and had nute burn like the skunks grown with her with kloombloom flower girl mix. Plant developed incredible stank when disturbed in mid flower and later. Plant was cut at 20%+/-2 dark trichs and had an amazing chem/fuel/weird berry smell before cut and just ripening up since shears. I would feel confident growing this strain in a sog setup with 6 plants run in 1gal in this small 2x2x4 tent. This grow as well as the 2 plants I have in preflower now, have shown spot on traits with size and structure. Wish I had more seeds of this strain for sure. The frost factor comes on early and builds up to the point you take it for granted. From reading online and on forums, it seems atlas seeds are all badass producers and THC makers. Look forward to growing this strain along with their grease gun strain in the future together. Had a mite issue with my dry tent and noticed it at the 2nd day drying. Hit tent and plants with deadbug and that handled the bastards. I germed some pepper seeds in the tent few days earlier with untreated soil. Paid the price for sure. Few days later checked the plants under jewelers loupe and didn't notice any mites or any bugs on this strain compared to skunks being dried with. Correction of light source for grow Only the viparspectra xs1500 was used during flowering and late veg possibly not both grow lights.
