After longest germination period I had so far girls finally showed some progress. I did something was wrong during germination and in one point I was afraid I lost them. Placed them under glass jar to keep humidity and save them from extreme temperature changes. On 08.12 removed glass jar from stronger one but will keep another day or two above week one.

Unfortunately, small one did not make it so I am down to one plant. From 3 seeds only one made it :( Very slow progress when comparing with my previous growth (not that I have lot of experience, but still) . Leaf edges started curling up so I ve increased distance to lamp to 55 cm afraid of light stress. Hand watering, applying only orgatrex with each watering. Next week I will need to connect autopot as I will not be here for several days. Hope it is not too early

At the end I did not connect her on autopot but decided to add load of water instead since I was back within 3 days. She made significant progress but on my surprise the soil in the pot remained very wet. I will leave her another day or two without watering to dry out the soil. On 22.12 I applied first LST and spray her with boom boom spray (biotabs). Other than mild overwatering symptoms she seems healthy. Hopefully the soil will dry out as I need to leave her again for a week and this time autopot will be necessary due to my long absence.

Again I did not connect her on autopot but soaked the soil with loads of water and left wet towels all around the bottom of the tent to keep humidity since capacity of my humidifier is just one day. My idea was that she will use all the water in the pot and nicely dry out the root until I am back next time and in the meantime wet towels on the bottom of the tent will keep air humidity for first few days and than I can switch ON my humidifier remotely for last day, if needed (I am using alfred camera app and my old phone inside of the tent to be able to keep an eye on conditions while I am absent however I can only remotely control humidifier). Turns out (AGAIN) that it was too much water and she did not manage to use all of it during this 5 days. I found the top of the soil to be completely dried out while at the bottom of the pot and by the weight I would guess that there was still plenty of water available. I am using guanokalong soil that normally spreads water and humidity very nicely so I was bit surprised about such a difference from top to bottom of the pot. Overwatering signs are visible on young leaves; they became soft and start curling down got darker color. Despite that I have added 0,5 lit water (with orgatrex) just to balance the humidity in the pot. I am here only for day and a half and after that I will be gone for 10 days. Will not be able to dry out the soil before connecting autopot so more problems related with overwatering can be expected next time I am back. Will try to calculate quantity of water needed for 10 day and fill the tank of autopot with just a bit less than that so she can recover from all that water at one point.

She was left alone for 10 days but it turns out that I managed to leave just the right amount of water in autopot. She used all the water and dried out her root just at the same time when I was back. She recovered nicely from overwatering and went pretty high witch was expected for part of sativa genetics in her. She was already in flowering phase but I still I decided to apply some heavy LST to lower her down and spread around the grow tent since she is the only one in. She has now covered 70% of my 80x80cm grow tent. Also I used BOOM BOOM spray twice to save her from LST shock. First added bactrex 1 gr, orgatrex 20ml in 1 lit (BIO TABS) . After that I was using combination of 2ml orgatrex and 2ml of BIO PK 5-8 in 1 lit water with each watering. And she really started to use loads of water, 1,5 lit per day. No photos during week 5 so I added early week 6

Probably last foto session out of the grow box. Solution of Orgatrex and PK-5-8 with every watering, she is now getting 2 lit per day manually. I will connect autopot during periods of my absence but I am afraid that she may stay without enough nutrients. I am still under trauma of my first grow when I left them for 10 days unsupervised and at the time I was back there was lot of damage.

Looking very healthy and growing fast. Watering her with orgatrex and Bio PK5-8 with every watering as recomended by producer. Day 45 connected on autopot and will be left alone for 7 days. 30ml of orgatrex diluted in 25 lit of water left in water tank. Air pump conected at the bottom of the tank hopefully to prevent fertilizer to sediment and block the system.

She took over the complete tent surface!! Bearly have place to keep humidifier and heater. I am thinking never again to go with more than one plant as this way she will give her full potential. And tent is 80cmx80cmx180. She seem super healthy however I did found several leaves with brown spots. Not enough nutrient, too much nutrients? No idea...will need to google and ask you guys. I have disconnected her from the autopot after 5 days and will wait until root is dry. Need to leave her for 6-7 days again and the plan is to give her 10ml of BIO PK 5-8 and 8 ml of orgatrex diluted in 1,5 lit of water. Also I ve diluted 8 ml of orgatrex in tank with 18liters water added, hopefull she will use all of it at the time I am back and strart drying the root. Did some defoliation to pass down the light for lower flowers and spayed her with BOOM BOOM spray. Let see how next week will turn out. Cheers!

I smell trouble :/ well, actually the smell changed dramaticaly and I was overwelmed after opening the tent. But the trouble I smell are brown spots on the leafes that appeared on few more places. Maybe fungi? Did some googling and now I am not sure of anything :/ Other than that she seems healthy and is only affected on few places so I am not going to change anything in fertilizing for now. However I did took some steps...more defoliation to increase air streaming trough center of the plant, increased fan speed, disconect from autopot and dry out the root, took away (hopefully) all of the affected leafs. She was given 8ml of BIO PK5-8 together with 4ml of orgatrex diluted in 2 lit of water. I will keep hand watering her with orgatrex only during next 2 days before I need to leave again. Could that be lack of nutrientes as I am acctually keeping her in autopots most of the time?

She was again left alone for a week, water only in autopot. Lover leafs turning yellow but I guessing that is quite normal at this stage. Few leaf tops are burned and curled up. Probably due to amount of nutrients that I am adding every time before I leave. Not sure if ORGATREX can be diluted in autopot tank without risking blockage of the system so I always add higher quantity on a day when I leave. In weekly average it is less than recommended but arrives at once and probably causes a shock. Buds are fastening nicely but the limonish smell is overwhelming. Fills out the room in a second. It is a challenge to stay in stealth mode with that :) Brown spots appeared on few more places...no idea what is causing it but it is not fungi. My air circulation is very good and I fighting against low humidity...not the other way around. Switching light to 20/4

Mucho en la linea de mi cultivar de la Purple Skunk de Sensi...sobre la 4/5 semana estas hojas Indicas de tamaño XXL y después y por lo que veo de los fenótipos de los hermanos "growers" que estan en este grow, empiezan a ponerse duras y a sacar algo de la cara Sativa, que este híbrido suele demonstrar. Algo de diferente tenemos y que pasa por tu grow tener un tamaño un poco más modesto que la mía y si miras lo que tengo en este momento y en qué me sale justo la pré-floración, es que voy a tener que esta semana ponerme a defoliar algo. El carácter muy compacto de este strain así lo determina. Veo que tu grow tiene como treinta cogollos pequeños en las puntas y muy poca cola central, y mi grow en los últimos siete días se ha puesto "a lo bestia" a tirar de la cola central y le he puesto una treliza Mammoth de las elásticas y con muchísimo espacio solamente para que esas hojas Indicas que son largas como sábanas, no me tapen ramas laterales que ya presentan esbozos de pré-floración. Al contrario de la tuya los primeros pistilos ya tienen las puntitas moradas y por el frío del invierno (incluso indoor y con dos LED 150w en una tienda 80x80), y con temperaturas en torno a 19 con luces y 16.5 en oscuro, las antocianinas que les dan el color morado ya han empezado a enseñar su presencia en mis esbozos pre-florales. Voy a seguir acompañándote y si quieres que te recomiende algo, en este justo momento de tu grow, yo le empezaría echando el B'Cuzz Blossom Builder de Atami, para que esos cogollos hasta que le hagas el flush, se duplicarán de tamaño y de densidad. Un saludo muy fuerte y Green greets!!!

@TommyBVRSA75, thank your for detailed comment and advise on bud booster however I have very limited amount of time to focus on my plant so I try to keep things as less complicated as possible. Not sure about compatibility of different boosters so I am using from the same producer, BIOTABS that turned out to be quite OK for me. I can only visit her once a week so if anything happens in the meantime I will not be able to react on time. There are always details to be improved however I am taking changes step by step. I am happy how my LST turned out but I am aware it is not perfect, again, due to the lack of time when she was forming in the week 2,3, and 4. All my buds are getting good amount of light but there is 10-15 cm difference from one bud to another. I am very interested in your grow as well so I will follow you. Wish you successful journey and happy grow! Cheers

Congrats, my fellow grower brother. I noticed that your cultivar register a much more developed flower size and your overall sugar leafs structure has a much more healthier expression. Despite of it, I ain't unhappy with my pheno conditions. I notice that your flowers have a much more reasonable size and up to the 11th week your sugar leafs flowering structure expresses a much more good looking view. I have planted at least three times the Purple Skunk (Sensi) and I have during the different cultivars some differences between them. On the second time that I grow the Purple Skunk strain the buds are much more similar to your actual growth with some fatter buds than the ones that during my first grow(and the actual one) have achieved. I noticed that on this particular strain you have two main phenos, one like you have right now on your grow, with fatter buds and a very well preserved sugar leafs and at least two times (for me the actual one) where my cultivar doens't properly develop a central cola or fatten buds whatsoever. On my actual Purple Skunk cultivar, like on the first time that I have grow it last winter (February 2022), I get lots of short round buds (on my actual grow I haven't counted them but probably I have on overall plant more than 50 or so, and by my experience I register that even after dried, this strain tends not to get small buds, the difference between the "wet" and the "dry" buds is very similar and even if you want to do some extractions by the sugar leafs, (this strain is not particular prone to extractions cause as you can see despite the sugar leafs can be abundant they aren't in good number), this strain in my opinion detaches by the outstanding quality of smoke. This "purple" skunk is one of the most "Kush" charged smokes I know and it is really when properly cut and cured one "old school" skunk, with all of its giggly nature and with that "high" so caractheristic of the "old school" skunks. The Sensi developing team that once worked on the Dinafem team, have done an amazing job with this "skunky stuff", a smoke for having a superb time earing great music or expressing creativity without being dreadfully "stoning". But be aware, cause this "babe" in special when you are tired and mainly if you smoke more than just one good joint, can coughlock you as easy as you can get...just by the record, if you grow not once ore twice but three times is that this particular skunk (I would call it a fuc### "kushy sweet bomb is somehow amazing and on my "auto" list is one of the cultivars that could be easily on a photoperiod ranking...just for the record and if you dare pretty soon I recommend you to plant its version 2.0 (in my opinion and on comparison) that is the Alien Kush Candy Fast of the High Speed Buds spanyard developers...it is a F1 "fast" hybrid and in my opinion they are very similar on the kind of smoke with the difference that the Alien Kush Candy Fast is a "purest" Purple Skin (despite of being much more orange than purple and you feel a much more perfected work by a much more "ruderalis free" piece of art. You should try...green greets and Jah God follows you always. Big hugh...
