Haven’t posted in a hot Minute, wanted to drop by and remind everyone that T5s grow great Bud
Using I Love Growing Marajuana’s seed: Super Skunk Fem
I have grown this strain a few times now, not a big yielded but it is STINKY and STONY
These girls were moved from a 4x4 LED Veg tent to an open 4x8 T5 flower area.
I aggressively defoliate anything that is not a top, and fem/top them, then weave them into the trellis, they will veg for 7-10 days before flipping to 12/12
If you want to know more about my veg check out one of my older grows, I got into detail for 5-6 grows about veg, but veg is boring.
After 5 days in the new space I flipped them into flower. As you can see the fill out fast, this weekend I will put up a 2nd and 3rd trellis and start evening them back out, by then the canopy will be full and in a few weeks these girls will be building some dank buds
NOTE: my defoliation and canopy shape is very aggressive, do not recommend striping this much plant matter to a new grower
FD : 7 , watered with microb and nutrient “tea”
FD: 9 (see pics) filling in nicely, the right side is a little bare in the front of the AC unit, but I’m ok with that for air flow anyways,
Didn’t have time to put 2nd trellis in, hopefully I will have time before day 14, cuz the get tall fast
Little signs of to much light, notes by the smaller leaf growth and some “tips and stripes” but were growing just fine still
Gotta love T5s hard to kill your plant, and grows lots of good flowers
Thanks for stoping by :)
Flower day 17(see pics) : finally had time to put up the other trellis I use 3 just for extra support. Did not take the time to “weave” the 2nd or 3rd trellis. Canopy is about 14” deep, flowers starting to form well and almost out of the stretch
There is still a bare hole in front of the AC but it’s all good, got a nice full canopy and in a week or so will turn on the last few bulbs
From here out it’s just keeping them fed and waiting. Excited for this round, it is the most aggressive I have defoliate and Lollypoped, the plants seemed to respond wonderfully
Thanks for stopping by
Flower day 49 (see pics) sorry for the low quality pics, it’s “lights off”
So basically since day 40 it’s RO water, microbes and sweet every 3-5days as needed, she seems to mature pretty fast, normally go 65-75 days with this strain, probably will be an early harvest this run
Also sorry for lack of updates, for those of us that know how to do this...it’s not very exciting hahah
Thanks for stoping by, happy growing
If you want a more detailed info about my set up and feeding schedules see one of my older grows
Flower day 63: these girls are in the home stretch now, day 70 seems to be the sweet spot for most of my grows
As you can see the right side isn’t as full as the left side, but this is gonna be a good haul no matter what, and the smell is crazy!!!
Gonna have to get a bigger filter, never had both sides in full flower at same time before, defiantly makes more stink!
Check back next week, it’s harvest time
Flower day 71: the far side seemed to get a little stressed at the end, but the canopy also was not filled up as well on that side.
Have not finished drying, so will have to come back and post my final weight
I’m expecting some where between 25-30oz, my best is 18 oz from one side but I don’t think I got that much this time. But still more than enough to last me the next 10-12 weeks untill next harvest.
If you have followed me for a while you will notice that I went from a 3 light rotation (harvest every 35-45days to a 2 light rotation, harvest ever 65-70 days. I did this to cut down on work, trimming and transplanting and cloning almost once a month each is a horrible chore, my 2 light set up will produce the same weight per time frame and is 1/2 the work.
If your just learning, 3 lights is the fastest way to learn, after that it’s just too much work
as always thanks for checking out my grow, feel free to leave comments and questions
Check back for final weight in about 6-8 days
Happy growing
I’m running some super skunks, gold leafs, and blue dreams from ILGM I really wish I would have made a journal about them. The skunks are awesome, I got 3 different phenos and pulled some clones and did a MASSIVE defoliation at week 3 of flower and they loved it. I’m just starting week 4 and they are going to be FAT. looking forward to seeing how yours turn out!
@Fun_Growin,
That's awesome information! We just hit week 5 of flower on Friday and the smell is starting to come through, I brushed up on my gold leaves and my arm smelled like lemon drops for an hour.
I am honestly loving my blue dreams, the trichome production is far exceeding all the other plants. I will say I got two different phenos, one is alot more solid than the other with farther internodal spacing and the other is lanky mcgee struggling to stand upright because on some branches theres only an inch or two tops between nodes and they're already getting too thick to support themselves.
I ended up going with a bunch of different seedsman breeders recently, there was so much variety and I didn't have to buy 10 seeds at a time haha.
@CraigGrowsOK,
This is my 5th grow with ILGM Super Skunk, it is an average size plant, REALLY STINKY, really lives up to its name,
I too have ILGM gold leaf (haven’t grown yet)
ILGM Blue Dream- grew it 4x bigger an average, not a fan of final product
ILGM Strawberry - grown 4x average size, my personal favorite, stinky, sticky, tasty
ILGM Pineapple Grew 2x larger size, very heavy high, strain runs super long, so I elected to not keep growing it
ILGM AK47 best grown 4x best yielding plant of them all! Very “pine tasting” and “spicy” not my preference, but sells good
ILGM Bruce Banner - up next :)
I’ve grown a couple other ILGM strains, it’s the only Swedbank I have used, all quality stuff
Best of luck to you and your grow 👍🏻
All I can say is wow ! They are going to fill them scrogs up real good ! :D :D :D Keep up the great work and best of luck on the rest of the grow !
-Happy Growing!
