12/17/23 - Day 41 - It flipped to flower today. I didn't document it via video because it's just like all the other videos. Except this change uses different level of the nutes for Flowering.
Alot of the bud sites have tons of pistles on them. The plant itself is so round and bushy. The plants branches are very close together.
There is a video up there of me using the software to change from veg. to flower.
I'll update you tomorrow once the lights come on. Now I only get 12 hrs of light instead of 18.
12/18/23 - Day 42 - FLOWER POWER! Look at those flowers starting to form! It looks amazing!!!!! I think starting from a good seed is better than a clone. If this ends up better than the last grow..... it's already off to a better start. The leaves looks super healthy.
12/23/23 - Day 47 - What a WEEK! The whole family got sick and I was the lone ranger on the battlefield taking care of all the units! So posting had to take a back seat! I did manage to grab some pictures during those days. I posted them up top. This week is the first week of Flower, and its going great! As you can see in the pictures that the buds are starting to take off from the bushy part of the plant.
I installed a second Scrogg net, the buds are already starting to launch upwards and I can tell they are going to need some support as they get bigger.
The Leaf box has been taking great care of the nutes, humidity, temp, and lighting. There is only one thing that I have had to do manually. Toward the last day of the week, the day before the water change the PH seems to dip down to 5.5. It's not a bad thing to be there for a couple of hours, but it is the lowest range I would ever let PH go in a hydroponic (DWC) setup. I have been adding 2 cap fulls of PH+ to get the PH in check. To be honest, adding 2 caps full of PH+ once a week is NOTHING. I feel like it's the least I could do. The box is creating the perfect environment. It's the perfect Cannabis Oasis, I treat my girls to the finest of living before the end. :)
Happy growing and I'll post again after the water change tomorrow!
If you like this experience and would like to have the same one, you can order your Leaf system from www.GetLeaf.co.
(full disclosure, I paid in full for my Leaf unit. I was a Kickstarter backer back in 2017 this is not an advertisement, this is real life)
@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.
