Day 56 flowering:
If anybody asked me today what this weed is called I would name it “Sasquatch Skunk” the smell is just absurd I have been needing to open the tent and leave it open for about 6-8 hours because my grow room is getting to warm increasing the tents temp to around 81-82 when it’s open it’s down to 74. So opening the tent is like a musty skunk leaving it open my whole house smells of rotting skunk fruit or cheese no specific fruit like a bowl of foul fruit very pungent. When I take the plant out of the tent however this beast just absolutely fu#$ing stinks bad assaults your nose with pungent armpit skunk roadkill. The smell of weed is one of my favourite smells and this just almost gets annoying it’s so deep and foul hence “Sasquatch Skunk” the smell added with this plant just wants to bud from everywhere all up the main stem and even just started a bud out of mid stem right at the bottom of the main stalk very strange growth never seen it magically appear like that.
With raising temps I got a little tiny bit of heat stress on top of the slight nutrient burn from last week. Got the nutrients lower and no new problems emerged. I have been tucking leaves all week and even tying them together to allow light to some inner buds. Her stems are like pencils very stiff but I started securing some branches to the main stem to pull her together a little more and preparing her for her final week - s. Removed the massive sexy fan leaves from the top they were tied up all week and block to much.
The mother is always bang on 65 days and the father haze is 10 weeks so I’m thinking somewhere in the next 9-14 days she should be ready I am going to start flushing in 5-6 days. She is starting to show a small amount of purple in her upper leaves and buds she got that from the mother who started showing purple in her last week of flowering. Some buds are similar size as skunk no1 but much much denser buds are very hard👍
Reduced Ghe micro from 4ml to 2.5ml also been gradually raising ph to 6.4 over last 2 weeks
Nutrient:
100% nutrient feedings per 24hrs 15-20% runoff at ph 6.4
Per gallon
Ghe florabloom 7ml
Ghe floramicro 2.5ml
Ghe CaMg+ 4ml
Ghe floragro 0ml
coco is a forgiving medium mate. make an error and it can be instantly flushed away if needs be. I love it as a quick grow throw together too. As long as you keep the ph around 5.8 going in all will be good. It leeches calmag from the plant and nutes so have some handy as your going to hit the most needy bit next. The gnats area pain in the ass but if you cover the surface with decent sand , the larvae get stuck and the adults cant get down to lay eggs. you can also try a 20%milk/80 water in a spray bottle to wet the coco surface and mist the plant with it too. it wont smell or do any damage at all but will kill any soft bodied insects as they breath through a membrane on their backs often and suffocate from the milk deposit. It will go straight through the coco too so no horrible stinky residue
@Ganjagrandaddy, thanks for the advice, yea I’m liking the coco compared to soil I just got the watering down I was still watering like soil up to a few weeks ago. Just waiting on some mesh pots coming today I’m going to try with my clones either way much better with coco.
Yes I been feeding CaMg+ which is organic base for soil but the bottle is almost done I feed usually 4ml per gallon throughout the grow. And will get some CalImagic once this bottle is done.
Adult Gnats I got under control they can’t fly far either to the floor to get squished or on the sticky pads it’s the young ones. I’m going to try the milk idea I recently used 9 parts water to 1 part alcohol and it literally destroyed spider mite population was only a few stragglers left and on another plus side it didn’t kill all my pistils on my flowering plant like insecticidal soap that killed barely any mites just pistils lol. So I totally believe and will try the milk lol thank you.
@Grnhead, thanks bud it’s a fun process found out some cool things along the way. So weird best weed I’ve ever smoked was on vacation in Jamaica called Columbian Gold (some really Skunk bud) and it turns out was one of the parent plants to Skunk No1 small world no wonder I like this particular skunk so much. Can’t wait to see what the lemon adds to it was a smelly one to
