Skunkville 101

gdogfunk I dropped seeds in water for a few days until I saw a decent taproot or start of one and then placed them in a jiffy pellet and in a humidity dome under my shelf T5 seed/clone system. I’ve read good things about this strain and I’ve been looking forward to growing this plant for awhile. She will have a tent partner to grow into a healthy SCROG and I hope to reap a bountiful harvest!

gdogfunk I had to start a new seed. The seed did she pop, so after awhile I checked the jiffy pellet and it looked like it wanted to, but never did. I used a different germination method this time. Soaked seed in URB for 25 minutes and popped it into a pH watered jiffy pellet. They were right. Seed pops in 2 days!!

gdogfunk I finally harvested this tent yesterday, so I was able so clean it out and make room for the vegging babes until the second tent is ready.

gdogfunk Day 17: I harvested my other tent and now these babes are ready for a springtime SCROG! Day 18: I decided to transplant to 1gal so the stems would have better support and start a better root structure. It was a little earlier than I normally would, but they are behind a bit from where I wanted to be, so I figure get the roots going in a better soil environment.

gdogfunk Day 26: she’s very much enjoying her new 1gal home. Huge growth in the last week. I’ve also kept watering to a minimum this round to make sure I don’t over water. I rubbed the stalk today and she smells delicious already! Day 28: topped her down leaving 4 nodes (counting the first set of single-fingered serrated leaves).

gdogfunk Day 32: She’s responding well to her new 7gal home and is growing like a weed now! Day 35: LST round 1! I’ll let her grow for a few days and do the second topping.

gdogfunk Day 39: I did the second round of topping the other day and they are responding very well!

gdogfunk Day 46: did some more LST tie downs to spread the canopy. Just a few more weeks and back under the screen! Day 50: I already had to tie them back down a second time. They are growing like crazy now!

gdogfunk Day 53: the plants are getting super bushy. I’ll be installing the screen soon and letting them do their thing for a few weeks before flipping. Day 57: after adjusting the LST for a few days, it was finally time to install the screen. I’ll let them do their thing for a bit before flipping.

gdogfunk Day 60: this plant is growing like crazy! Super healthy plant and smells delicious!!

gdogfunk Day 67: FLOWER TIME!! I have to admit that this run went very fast. I’m excited to see this healthy beauty flourish over the next 10 weeks! This was a seed from one of my original seed bank orders and I’ve been looking forward to this for some time now.

gdogfunk Day 74: the flowering stretch is underway and I’m happy to see many of the smaller undergrowth reaching tall for the light and should turn into some nice buds!

gdogfunk Day 81: starting the third week of flower and the tent smells amazing! I mean skunky! 3/4 gallon every other day seems to be keeping them happy. The front portion of the plant didn’t stretch like the rest, but everything will be just fine in the end. Only 7-8 weeks left! Day 83: I defoliated today and cleared out all the leaves under the canopy that weren’t getting light an a ton of fan leaves on top of they were blocking buds.

gdogfunk Day 89: into the third week of flower now and they are really flourishing! I’ll be defoliating some more later this week. The tent continues to increase in aroma and really smacks me in the face when I open the tent. I’ve had to raise the light to accommodate the stretch. Pistils are forming and things are getting exciting!!

gdogfunk Day 95: The tent continues to smell better and better! The buds are definitely underway now and the excitement continues to build! Still watering 3/4 gal every other day with a water/feed schedule.

gdogfunk Day 102: the buds are well underway now and everything is Iooking and smelling great! It’s been very rainy here and my humidity is higher than I’d like, but the plant seems to not mind at all. With plenty of airflow, I think I’ll be ok.

gdogfunk Day 109: wow wow wow! The stench in the tent is absolutely amazing! There is so much resin even on the leaves. Just moving and tucking leaves leaves my hands extremely sticky! Only a few more weeks left!

gdogfunk Day 116: Entering the 8th week of flower now and she is packing on the trichomes. There is so much glistening goodness, even on the leaves! Only a few more weeks now. Trichomes are still clear with no cloudiness yet. I upped the MammothP from 2ml/gal to 4ml/gal. I should have been at 2.5-3ml, but I forgot to increase the dosage. Feeding EH late flower nutes this week. Regretfully, I hate to say that she's been growing some nanners and I found what I believe to be a few seeds on a couple of buds. I haven't seen it spread to her tent mate, but I've been plucking a few here and there over the last few days. I am getting them when they are small, so hopefully, it's too late in the game for much damage. Had the same thing happen in the other tent with one plant growing nanners and the other one is not. I don't know how I've stressed them, if I did at all. Oh well, it's late in the run anyway, so there's not much I can do but pluck them.

gdogfunk Day 123: I'm starting to finally see some trichomes turning cloudy. Not enough to be in the harvest window, but getting close! Beautiful plant and I don't see any more nanners, hopefully I got them all in time. A couple more weeks to go! Day 125: Upon further inspection, I believe this babe is ready for flushing! Definitely some amber going on now and I plan on chopping in a week from now.

gdogfunk Day 130: I did a big flush on day 127 and got the runoff ppm's down below 300ppm. I was flushing with pH'd 147ppm water (well water) and I suspect the residue in the collection pan is bringing the ppm's up a little. I fed 1ml EH nutes for final flushing and will be giving water only until I harvest on day 136/137. She smells absolutely delicious and I cannot wait to get her dried and cured and smoke some of this amazing looking strain! Almost there!!

gdogfunk Amazing plant! The smell and effects are fantastic!I really like this plant!
