Tried some of those fancy black background shots this week. :)
The end is near. I might chop the Royal Kush this weekend. Most of the trichomes are cloudy and a few amber. Strain lists 8-9 weeks and Sunday will be like 66 days so I think I am good. I will include the best closeups I could muster. I had started giving the Royal Kush only pHed water last week and will do the same for the other two starting tomorrow. They should only have a week, maybe two left themselves.
Some of the photos you will see the Girls Scout Crack clones in the bottom left. They are blowing up and really wishing I would make room by chopping that Kush. =P
As I said, this being an Auto tent, it's the only one I have going right now that is not on 12/12.
These have turned out to be a very fun grow for sure. I will submit the Royal Kush harvest tomorrow if I chop it.
@Fuckitstaken, In that case it made not difference. I ended up with a little over an ounce from each plant on that harvest. I think the Bloody Skunk is so fast that traditional topping does not have time to become all that beneficial. My experience growing 6 of those plants in 3 different grows is that it is ready to harvest at about 65 days from germination. Not a lot of time to "bush out". But as a note, topping was also not detrimental and the plants were half the height of the non-topped while producing the same which is good for stubby 3 foot tents and such. I started following your grow. Good luck!
@Anonytom, Nice. My issue right now is cold. It gets into the 40s°F ambient overnight. I have heating solutions on each tent which helps but it's not perfect. After they reach a certain size it does not seem to be an issue but first breaking through the soil and for the first couple weeks they are slower than other times of year.
@p4tm_CHEF,with your royal kush being a week ahead I'd say there about the right place growth rise struggled with high temps to start with so got a co2 bag to help which seems to have boosted them up again
@p4tm_CHEF, ahhhh nice was just wondering for comparison for my own doing my first auto grow of some ggg3 (gscxgelato) there at day 14 from seed ATM and I think there doing okay just trying gauge how they should be looking as the breeder reckons 7 weeks harvest from seed!
@Anonytom,
The first week here would have been almost 3 weeks actual for the Skunk#1. At that time she probably would have only had pHed tap water since the Ocean Forest soil is plenty rich to start. That first week I would have started giving her a first feeding using the stuff I was using for one of the other tents while still using just water for the Kush (until transplant anyway). So week two here they both got the feed levels shown while the Bloody will only get water until I move her to the three gallon pot. ;) I am so baked right now, I hope that made sense. 😵
@Sweet_Seeds, Thanks Jaypp. I still have a couple ounces from the last BlSkunk harvest a couple months ago but when I had an unexpected opening in the tent, it is what I went for. 😎
