Here we go ! Another Terpyz grow. Mango Skunk Gpp , been watching this one with interest for awhile as I love a good skunk and not many breeders working with skunk nowadays.
9 out of 12 germinated . Plenty to full my space if 3-4 or female . But always happy to find a good male to collect pollen from . No feed so far but will give half strength feed and a root booster soon.
Cleaned up my main room and moved all the mango Skunk in . Growth slow as usual at this stage but everything g looking good . 9 initially germinated but the remaining 3 have come up in the last few days . Only fed with root stim so far but will add a grow feed next watering , undecided which I will go with or if I'll do supersoil again . Thinking I'll switch it up
Potted up into 12 ltr pots in peat free compost mixed with a slow release plant based fertiliser called 'one feed' . Will try it out and see what happens . I also watered in some worm compost tea I made from vermicompost and mollases , from my worm farm.
Grow has been fast since potting on .
I'll be topping in the coming week.
Using a combination of low stress training and topping to spread canopy. Growing very well , healthy and no issues. Showing different leaf types ; duck, swag , lanceolate and combinations.
I've continued to top and tie down branches , which I think will do now . Next I will remove foliage from the lower halfof the canopy. Growth has been solid , I'm enjoying seeing the development of different leaf types .
Done multiple toppings and plenty of tying down at this point , happy with the structure and canopy height now. I plan to defoliate the bottom half of each plant and flip into flower over the next few days .
Interesting mix of leaf types; swag, lanceolate and duckfoot. Fairly uniform in height and all Fairly bushy but the swag types the bushiest...typical of all swag types I've grown before.
Had a few spidermites on one single plant, I've been spraying them all with a mix of neem , cinnamon oil and Peppermint oil . Keeping a close eye on this.
I discovered my timer is faulty 2 weeks into what was supposed to be flowering... due to the height of the plants already I won't have the ceiling height for a flowering stretch. I've no choice but to hard prune each plant to around half their height. I'll do a bit of a re-veg of sorts for a week or two and then flip into flower ...
Back to flowering for real this time after a short recovery period. Hopefully it's plain sailing from here. Planning to make up a worm cast tea this week using vermicompost from my worm farm.
Looking good , lots of flower sites now. They've recovered well after my mishap with my timer. Fairly uniform in height but a variety of leaf types showing . I fed with a homemade worm cast tea using vermicompost from my worm farm .
Flowering is well and truly underway , interesting pink tipped pistals on 3 plants , so far anyway. Beautiful sweet fruity aroma from one plant in particular, definitely on the mango, papaya end of things . A few getting floppy so will tie up with bamboo.
I've had to use bamboo canes to tie up floppy branches on nearly every plant . One flopped over fairly evenly 360° so I pulled this one out and put it under its own light with some more space , just to see how it turns out . I've seen hints of deficiency here and there so I've been feeding with biobizz bio bloom which I had lying around . I've been a bit more on point with pH adjustment also .
Really stinky all of a sudden, might need to change my carbon filter or add one blocks or something similar. Fruity but like mango,papaya or even pineapple, very pleasant. Filling out nicely. Some pistals already starting to turn but only on half the plants .
Still stinks haha , loving the exotic mango smell . Most flowers are starting to turn a little but still I'm expecting another two weeks till finish ,maybe even 3 .
After a huge storm I lost power for a few days, no light or heat in the growroom . No damage to the plants although I'm sure it's slowed things up a bit. Many of the flowers have taken on purple colours though which is nice plus. At around 50% brown pistals on most by now. Another week maybe two and there done. Giving water only
Ready to chop at this point , I've been checking the trichomes regularly to check progress. Around 10-20% amber now across all except one plant that's slightly behind. Will chop and hang all except this one now. I'll let the remaining plant run 1 extra week .
Finally wrapped up , cut dried and sampled. The smoke is lovely, fruity but leaning towards tropical fruits like mango, guava ... one pheno leaning more into grapefruit citrus. The high is fairly balanced , what I'd expect from a skunk strain but none of the negative paranoia some other modern skunk strains have.
Bag appeal could be better or I should say more homogeneous, two of the plants had massive dense buds and others had more loose almost sativa looking buds .. not a problem for me though.
Overall I'm happy with the yield , it done well for soil with very little inputs. Commercially the bigger budded pheno could be viable if cloned , I suspect huge yield could be achieved in hydro or coco .
3 different leaf types where present ; swag, duck , regular. This makes it interesting for pheno hunting or for someone like me that likes variety in what they grow.
Overall I highly recommend this and would grow again. Good job Terpyz
Hung in my room for 1 week . Buds snipped from stems and fan leaves removed . Left to dry more for 3 more days. Finished off in a bag trimmer to save time . Tidied a little more with scissors. Loaded into zigzag with humidity packs job
What up Rick, this genetic is beautiful. Love the pink/red hairs and purple sativa structure. I bet its real funky. Hate to hear it about the power loss. I've been there a few times throughout the decades. Nothing you can do unless you have a generator or solar. Looks healthy and productive, cant wait to see the final bud shots under some white/blue blue light. 😎👍
