Hi guys ! 😊 I would like you all to meet the old man, Aka ( My 78 year old dad ) and the man who taught me most of what i know today about beautiful Maryjane 😊 Whilst visiting his grow this afternoon i thought i would set him up a grow diary as as he would say : " Im not very good with the google " haha. He has been growing the same skunk genetics for over 20 years organically, using mostly Bat guano and home made nutes. Sorry for the late start to the diary, was not really planned haha. Just for some fun and the pleasure of sharing with you all. Hope you enjoy 😊 Silas & The old man

Watch out ! There's monsters about.... Hello guys ! 😊 We are finally back after loosing my account for 3 weeks.... Big thanks to Victoria and the GD team for getting it fixed and also B4RNS who without him i would still have no account 👍🏻 So sorry for the late update... All is going well at the old man's skunk grow ! The plants are big and healthy and flowering nicely ! 👍🏻😊 The girls are still being fed on only bat guano and home made nutes. Keep it organic when possible ! I also added some pics of a cream caramel plant i gave the old man ( the funny tall girl in the last 4 pics ) haha. She is also doing well 😊 Hope you all enjoy the update, Happy growing, Silas & The old man

Whats up guys ? 😊 Week 5 flowering update : The old man thought it would be a good idea to get super stoned on some gorrila glue in the volcano and feed the girls, as a result : deficiency 😂 oh well, its not the end of the world Lol. That aside, all is good at the old man skunk grow 👍🏻 Flowering is coming along nicely and we are super impressed with the Cream caramel, the aroma is just amazing.. Berries berries berries 🔥😍 More than the one i grew out in the Master kush grow. Such a beautiful aroma... Can not wait to see the end result ! The trichomes are really starting to pack on now. Hopefully the weather will stay on our side for a few more weeks 🤞🏻 Hope you all enjoy the update 😊 Happy growing 🌱😎 Silas & The old hippie 😂

She grew like a dream from start to finish, no fuss ! Great disease resistance. Not a heavy harvest pheno but i have to take into consideration that she was in a 50l pot compared to the skunks in 100l's. Very happy with the results, A great strain ! Thanks for following along 😊 Happy growing 😊🌱 Silas & The old man

Hi guys ! 😊 Sorry for the late update. It's harvest time ! Could have gone another week or so with the skunks but mould is a serious problem outdoors where we live... Plus the plants are falling over 😂 The cream caramel is dry and curing in the jars, we are now harvesting the 3 skunk plants over a few days period. I will do a real harvest update when dry in around 10 days 😊 I have added a photo of the first skunk harvested so far. Thanks for coming by ! Happy growing 😊🌱 Silas & The old man

Nice harvest again this year, even though we had some problems with mildew ( mould ) towards the end, resulting in a week or so early harvest. The 3 skunks came in at 1600 grammes and a small but sweet 256 grammes for the Cream caramel. Total harvest weight in at 1856 grammes. 300 grammes are missing from the jarred up skunk photo, they where donated to friends and neighbours in need. The Old man says thanks for following and will be back next year ! 😊 Happy growing to all ! 😎🌱 Silas & The old man
