12/3/23 - Day 27 - Hello All! Today I was able to catch the water change as it all happened. I have a video that I uploaded above.
Here we are going into week 5. Shes growing fast and her branches are close together. Not much going on other than letting this LEAF box do its thing. I'll keep it updated with pictures as we go along.
I still have leftover nutrients from the last grow. The A-nute is getting close to being gone. So I replaced it with the A-Nutes that I had purchased to start this grow. Replacing them is super easy.
Another water change day in the books!
12/5/23 - Day 29 - I did some cleaning up on the branches. I removed a lot of the fan leaves. I do plan on cleaning it up a little more but I wanted to give her a moment to recover. However, I am starting to think that it does not matter. So far with both of the grows I have done in this LEAF box. When I trim the plant and I think it's going to cause an slow down, I'm wrong. So far I have yet to see a bad result from trimming her. It's almost like the plant likes it better immediately and starts to stretch out and get bigger.
12/7/23 - Day 31 - I noticed there are pistles already forming. I spoke with someone about how quickly that was and they said that I should wait to flip them to flower. Autos are kind of known to start flower when they are stressed. I forsure stressed her out when I just put a huge trim on her. Ill give it another few days to see if the pistles continues to pop up or slow down.

@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.
