11/16/23 - Day 10 - Here we are on day 10 and she had a root hit the water over night. About 8 hrs later she had two roots in the water and her leaves are starting to perk up. From here on out I expect a rocket ship. Shes getting access to all the nutes now.
11/18/23 - Day 12 - The roots are going about as I expected in this Leaf Box. Shes always sad until her roots hit the water, then the fuse has been lit! There is no going back. When I looked at the water today there was one root that was floating about 7 - 8 in long that surprised me. Yesterday it was long maybe 4" but today it's at least doubled. ๐
Its so much fun growing in this Leaf Box. You really get to experience the joy in it, rather than the stress of trying to figure out some technical issue. Here the techical issues are close to none. I really get to focus on the training part. It also allows me to be more observant and I get more time to think about the little changes that I see. Usually my mind is so clouded with some engineering issue with her life support that I dont usually get the time to really focus on the plant. Its a whole different feel growing in the Leaf box.
I posted a video up top. If you watch it you'll understand my above statement. Choosing the option to move to the next phase in the software is about as hard as it will ever get (aside from harvest, thats ALWAYS a bitch) Watch the video and if your feeling some kind of way let me know what you think.
@Still_Smoq, Thank you sir. Skunk#1 is one of my favorite strains. Heres the order of my favs list.
1. Jack Herer
2. White Widow
3. Skunk #1
4. Diesel
5. Gorilla Glue
@Sachimira, I can get my hand back there, no extra humidity the box takes care of all of that. The fans speed up to make sure the air still flows. I had to get the long gloves because the last grow was crazy too. If I don't use the up to the shoulder gloves I have to take a shower Instantly, she's in her perfume stage now
Sorry brother, I only bring it up because of the flowering. Youโll definitely need some good circulation around the center of her especially if she gets heavy with resin. The way your growing her, she will!
I did in the beginning, but it flipped the plant to fast. It didnt like the stress. I may go in soon though and get rid of some foilage. I'm just worried if the stress is going to cause some issues. I'm 50/50 on the decision right now. LOL thanks for bringing the fear Ive had for the last two weeks right into the forefront. ๐
My last grow was from a clone, it didnt get this stressed. This is an Auto so it seems to be acting a little different.
@Still_Smoq, I know right! This grow is going better than the last grow and the last grow went amazing. I got this one from Sensi Seeds. They seem to have some good genetics with this one. We shall see though. The buds are starting to grow outward, now its the waiting game.
Gotta luv the skunks! So worthy and versatile. I have the original Sensi Skunk #1 and don't ever want to be without it. A true classic to use and a quality breeder to boot. Have fun with her! ๐ช
@Chumpkilla, Sorry about that -- yes, the photoperiod. I have the original Skunk #1 photoperiod Sensi put out back in the not-so-OK days. ๐ It's def not the roadkill but it's still a damn good plant with budloads to offer. Even though you're dealing with the auto, skunk genes are still in there. So it's all good to me! BTW is IS getting crazy these days. Man o man, is it getting bughouse mad with the flower times in < 50 days. Never ever thought I'd see that happen. Madness!! ๐ฎ
@Squuncke, Original? Do you mean non-Auto? Everything is an auto these days. I have a few more Skunk#1 autos left, and a bunch of Bubblegum left from Sensi. I have a ton of Fast buds strains as well, all autos. One of them is a new kind called a Fast Auto. Its getting crazy these days. It's been fun to experience it all. Thanks for the comment, Im a big fan of Skunk#1 as well.
