All 3plants are cruising along in preflower. Getting daily visible growth out of all plants. For some reason the skunk didn't grow a second main cola after being topped. You can see where it started and curled up and withered away. Oh well, after burning a bowl of the same skunk after dry..I definitely ain't missing anything. Solid citrus stink and taste but not strong enough for me. See how it goes after a cure for awhile. The tricross strain is wicked fuely and tart tasting. Fuel on release and tarty on burn so that has a different roll than other bud for me. Trichome rich tingle when you hit it and aftertaste. Nice buzz for sure and easy grow. Hoping to maximize yield this go around for 1gal grow. After checking my hand written notes, Ive already achieved greater height and outgrowth of branches. Possibly because of the n-primer or extra flower girl and dynomyco in soil mix before seeding. regardless I'll take the 20% increase in growth and earlier branch off. All plants recieved 1tbsp of flower girl topped off on soil today. Raised the light 3' to improve light penetration. Sounds weird but to me this shrouded light needs distance to properly throw light my plants. I'll check the pray factor of plants when I wait up in the morning. Going to give these girls a soak before bed so I don't have to mess with them. I have to trim out these same plants tomorrow for cure in jars. Going to save my trim in a sealable 1gal bucket for a later bubble run. I'll use all that with this whole skunk plant for a fresh frozen bubble run. I plan on letting this skunk get old and ripen 50%+ dark on buds before cut. Hopefully that will improve the THC content at least for ice water extraction. These tricross are perfect for extraction regardless on how you go about it. Fucking frost monsters and super sticky stank buds. Even had trichomes growing on stems. I broke out the jewelers eye thinking they were thrips or mites. Nope, just glassy trichs turning milky staring back at me instead.
Skunk 9"
Tricross 1 9"
Tricross 2 12.5"

Defoliation performed all 3 plants. Skunk had minimal leaf removal compared to tricross plants. Canopy has been opened up for sure with tricross to get some light to the bud sites. Last grow with tricross had fluffy buds, going to maximize light exposure for some denser buds.
I just harvested this strand several weeks ago, and I want to get some more. I didn’t think I would like it, because it was too fluffy. But what a pleasant surprise. Very mellow, but don’t over do her. She can go from a mellow Sativa high to a Over-relaxed feeling of needing a nap. Big empty spacing on a short plant, never got over 34 inches. Easy to grow, this was my 3rd harvest I ever successfully completed.
@SuaveAck, no doubt about the fluff.. I have one now drying and it's super fluffy compared to the skunks with her. Tricross is super sticky and smells dangerous..
Groundupgenes.com has the atlas line, and cheap compared to other sites. I got my tricross seeds as freebies
