Lemon Skunk - RQS | VGrow (Test 2)

HOMEGROWBOOK The little one was a bit slow and has a slight burn on the edges of the leaves, which I think comes from fertilizing the soil with the Vgrow fertilizer and will be switched to Canna.

HOMEGROWBOOK Unfortunately, there’s only one picture from this week because I was on vacation. The plant has recovered well, and there are no more burnt leaf tips.

HOMEGROWBOOK The plant has recovered very well and has grown strong. We're going to leave it alone this week, and next week we'll continue.

HOMEGROWBOOK This week we're getting started, we're pushing the plant down clearly in a curve and spreading the shoots out to distribute them evenly.

The net helps keep the structure open and even. • Color: Bright green, healthy foliage with no signs of stress or deficiency. • Shape & Structure: Even build with stable main shoots – ideal preparation for flowering. • Overall Condition: Vital, strong, and optimal in the transition between Veg and Flower phases.

HOMEGROWBOOK The plants have gone strong into the stretch and show clear length growth. • Growth: The shoots are shooting up, the net provides a stable, even structure. • Color: Strong, healthy green – no deficiencies or signs of stress. • System: Due to an accident, the setup was unintentionally converted to a semi-hydroponic system. A pump was added to improve water circulation and oxygen supply. • Overall condition: Despite the change, the plants are responding excellently – vibrant, stable, and ready for the upcoming flowering phase.

HOMEGROWBOOK The plants are now in the middle of flowering week 3 and show very stable development. The stretch is coming to an end, the structure has solidified, and the first clear flower sites are visible. The shoots are evenly oriented towards the light, the net maintains the shape optimally, and ensures balanced light distribution across the entire canopy. Due to the involuntary switch to a semi-hydroponic system, the setup now runs with constant water circulation. A pump has been added to increase the oxygen content in the nutrient medium and to avoid standing water. The system works reliably, and the plants are clearly benefiting – the roots look vital, bright, and active. The fertilization has been raised to 6 ml/l Canna Coco A + B. The plants are absorbing the nutrients excellently, without any signs of over-fertilization or stress. The foliage remains a strong green with a slight shine, and the leaf structure is tight and healthy. Flowering is progressing rapidly – the bud sites are clearly defined, and the plant is showing its full potential. The smell and resin production are slowly starting to develop, indicating a strong and healthy flowering phase. Overall, the plants appear vital, stable, and perfectly in flow during the early flowering phase. The semi-hydro system consistently provides moisture and nutrients, while the net continues to ensure an even structure. Everything is running optimally for the transition into the mid-flowering stage.

HOMEGROWBOOK The plants are now in flowering week 4 and show strong development. The stretch phase is finally over, and the energy is now fully flowing into the formation of dense, even buds. The flower clusters are visibly increasing in volume, the first layers of resin are starting to form, and the scent is slowly becoming more intense. The semi-hydroponic system is now running consistently and reliably. The integrated pump keeps the nutrient solution in motion, which significantly improves oxygen supply in the root area. This is evident from a robust, bright root structure and an overall high absorption capacity. The plants look vigorous, sturdy, and respond excellently to the system. The current fertilization with 6 ml/l Canna Coco A + B is being tolerated optimally. No signs of over-fertilization or deficiencies – the foliage remains healthy, deep green, and slightly shiny. The water level and pH are regularly monitored, keeping the balance stable. The structure is open and well-ventilated, with the flower clusters evenly distributed across the entire net. The plants present themselves compact and strong, ready to increase in density and resin production in the coming weeks. Overall, a very stable and productive progression: the involuntarily created semi-hydro system has developed into a real advantage – constant moisture, good ventilation, and visibly faster development compared to pure coco operation. Everything points to a strong mid-flowering phase.

HOMEGROWBOOK The plants are now in flowering week 5 and are developing beautifully. The buds are visibly thickening, resin production is increasing significantly, and the first trichomes are starting to turn milky. The aroma is becoming more intense, with sweet-earthy notes indicating a strong ripening phase. The semi-hydroponic system continues to run stable and reliably. The pump ensures even circulation and high oxygen levels in the root area. The plants show no signs of stress – the root system is active, nutrient uptake is consistent, and the growth is harmonious. Fertilizing with 6 ml/l Canna Coco A + B remains optimal. No signs of over-fertilization, no discoloration – the foliage is a rich green with a slight sheen. The pH level is regularly monitored and remains stable in the optimal range. The structure of the plants is open and well-ventilated, which prevents mold formation. The buds are evenly distributed across the entire area and are starting to gain significant weight. The stems remain sturdy, despite the increasing flower mass. Overall, the setup is running very smoothly: Semi-Hydro continues to prove a clear advantage, providing consistent moisture, active roots, and impressive flower development. The plants are now in the peak of flowering – from here, it’s all about ripening and fine-tuning the aroma.

HOMEGROWBOOK In week 6 of flowering, the plants show their full potential. The buds are noticeably swollen, compact, and completely covered with a dense layer of shiny trichomes. Many heads are already milky, with some starting to turn amber – the transition into the ripening phase has begun. The semi-hydroponic system continues to run absolutely stable. The pump ensures a consistent circulation of the nutrient solution, keeping the roots constantly supplied with oxygen. The result: visibly vital plants with high nutrient uptake and no signs of stress, deficiency, or overwatering. The feeding has been increased to 8 ml/l Canna Coco A + B. This concentration is perfectly tolerated – no nutrient burn, no pressure in the leaves. The EC value is in the optimal range, and the plants are responding with vigorous, even growth. The leaf green is slowly starting to lighten, indicating a good shift of energy into the flowers. The bud structure is now dense and uniform, with resin production at its peak. The scent is intense and complex, with sweet-earthy and slightly fruity notes. Thanks to the open structure and good air circulation, everything remains free from mold or moisture issues. Overall, the setup is running optimally: the semi-hydro system provides constant moisture, stable values, and impressively fast development. The plants are robust, the buds are fat – everything points to a strong, aromatic harvest in the coming weeks.

HOMEGROWBOOK The Lemon Skunk is now in week 7 of flowering and is showing its best side. The buds are massive, firm, and completely covered in trichomes. The resin shines under the light, and the aroma is intensely lemony with an earthy base – typical for the genetics. The trichomes show a perfect stage of ripeness: about 70% milky, with the first amber tips. This marks the beginning of the final ripening phase, where aroma and cannabinoid content reach their peak. The semi-hydro system continues to run stably. The pump keeps the nutrient solution active, ensuring a constant supply of oxygen. The plants are responding vigorously, and the roots are visibly working efficiently. The feeding is currently at 8 ml/l Canna Coco A + B, which is being optimally absorbed. No signs of over-fertilization, no deficiencies – the leaves are slowly beginning to mobilize the stored nutrients, which is a good sign for the upcoming flushing process. The structure remains open, air circulation is strong, and the buds are benefiting from optimal light. The ratio between main and side shoots is balanced, leading to uniform flower development across the entire plant. Overall, the Lemon Skunk is in absolutely top form: compact buds, strong aroma, high resin production, and stable semi-hydro performance. The last weeks promise dense, aromatic flowers – a clear indication that the harvest is slowly approaching.

HOMEGROWBOOK The Lemon Skunk is in the final phase of its cycle – flushing week and harvest preparation. The buds are fully matured, compact, and heavily coated in resin. The scent is intensely citrusy with an earthy base note – typical of Lemon Skunk. The trichome development is now in the perfect harvest window: about 20% amber, the rest predominantly milky. This achieves the desired balance of potency, flavor, and effect. This week, flushing has started to remove any remaining nutrient residues. The semi-hydro system continues to run clean, the pump remains active but only circulates clear water with an adjusted pH. The plants are visibly starting to draw the last reserves from the leaves – the foliage is lightening up, showing the typical end of the cycle. The buds are dense, resinous, and heavy, with the main stems bearing significant weight. All flowers are evenly matured, and the terpene profile is strongly developing – sweet, sour, spicy. By the end of the week, harvest time is here. After a short dark phase, the plants will be harvested and slowly dried to maximize aroma and effect. Conclusion: A thoroughly successful run – the unintentional semi-hydro system has proven to be an efficient solution. Even growth, strong bud structure, and an impressive finish. The Lemon Skunk is showing its full potential: compact, resinous, aromatic – a worthy conclusion!

HOMEGROWBOOK I was very satisfied with the results of the plants. They were easy to shape. Easy to trim and train. This time we were able to utilize the space perfectly without risking top burns.
