Monster Original Skunk No1 (Seedsman)

First time I tried this it had great results these clones were taken from a 2 week flowering plant about 2 weeks ago new growth just started a few days ago and I’m prepared to see some weird sheet and defoliate like a mad man over the next coming weeks last time the vegetative stage was super fast and vigorous in soil let’s see how they do with more experience and in coco with my new fully controllable much larger environment. 😍last time not much experience a small uncontrolled enviro got 105-110g for a small bush hopefully they both perform better. Watering with seedlings strength nutrients past couple days going drain to waste method and will be changing to light vegetative nutrients over next few days. Added a few bonus images from the original plant that I have had a line of clones coming from and even used to make some custom seeds from her. Which I have a diary going of her test seeds atm.

Day 8: They starting to grow better now over last couple days. Humidity gone up a little sitting around 65% now. They put on about 2 inches and a fair bit of new growth, recovery mode should be ending real soon things are going to get dramatic in growth shortly. I will be using My new 5 gal mesh pots for first time and I have been thinking of bending one nearly right over and see how many branches shoot up. One plant showing signs of root damage I think or maybe just passed down I’ve seen the yellow leaf steaks a generation ago from this line and a few random ones will probably shoot up on that plant periodically. Does think anything to worry about they had great outcomes when I’ve seen this before. Watering: Near 100ml every 48 hrs drain to waste all nutrient feeding. Per gallon Ghe florabloom 1ml Ghe flora micro 4ml Ghe floragrow 5ml Ghe CaMg+ 4ml

They still look like monsters abnormal growth tapering off now. Pretty basic week with a fair amount of growth nothing special. Lights were a light wonky this week due to a power bar issue they spent 2 days in light and also had light turned off during the day for short periods but problems resolved. This week they will be repotted and pulled down a little bit also going to remove a few extra leaves that are damaged.

Week 4: This week I did some defoliation of twisted and damaged leaves I repotted them in 2 different size pots to see how much difference they have first time using a mesh pot and was going to do both the same but need more coco these vivosun pots are much bigger than my plastic 5gals. I also did some LST after the repotting and they are both growing the same rapid pace with tones of branches. I upped Ghe growth 1ml from the schedule I am using. There is still some twisted growth coming in but I do see some serious defoliation coming in the near future.

Last week of vegetative they are getting really bushy and need defoliation and Lst which I will do this week. Increased nutrients to late vegetative and upped the bloom and micro very slightly. Still seeing some streaks in leaves coming up either genetic cause I’ve seen in last few generations of clones or root issues but not worried plant is growing healthy and producing branches like crazy.

Awesome week for growth I removed 50-60 leaves each and it goes unnoticed they grew in height and added many branches over the week. I took a clipping off each and am going to make some fem pollen with one of them with colloidal silver. They probably going to go into flowering tent in next week or so the vegetative tent is getting extremely cramped rapidly. So far the plant in plastic pot seems a little healthier she is almost 2 inches taller and healthier growth.

Pretty basic week they had another large defoliation and are dying for some LST but my veg tent is to crammed over the next 7-10 days they will be trained trimmed and put into flowering. This monster crop is a little slower than my first attempt this one has more branches last go had larger healthier growth. The one in the smaller plastic pot is 3 inches larger than the mesh pot and looks happier.

Week 8: Bah these plants are in some tight quarters the haze in my flowering tent is still finishing up so these 2 are just packing on size every day in the crammed flower tent with still no LST due to space. Growth is consistent and fast with these 2 and there time to flower will start this week for sure but after a nice large defoliation and lst to equal out the canopy which seems heavier to one side on both plants.

Flowering day 2: Been a busy week she got really bushy so I decided to do a large defoliation right before switching to flowering to allow more light.. I missed a night of watering so the coco dried more than I’d like but she still looks healthy. Nutrients: 100% nutrient feedings per 48hrs 15-20% runoff at ph 5.9 Per gallon Ghe florabloom 4ml Ghe floramicro 4ml Ghe CaMg+ 4ml Ghe floragro 4ml

Flower week 2 day 8: Another busy disastrous week my dehumidifier stopped working and lowered my temps to 70-72 and about 64-65 at night the rh is also pushing 70% at night 80+ very unacceptable and I am waiting for my replacement dehumidifier should be here Monday thankfully it’s still very early in flowering. Decided I do not like mesh pots they don’t work for me. Found they are to big moving them disturbs medium and created a space around the pot the 5 gal mesh is way bigger than my 5 gal plastic pots and requires like 3 times the water to get drainage. The plant appears to be showing root issues and Not to mention the smaller plastic pot the plant is much healthier root wise leaf wise and is taller from the two plants that were same size most of the grow. They both need a haircut and some lst I might just throw a tomato ring around each plant seems to work well with these branchy monster crops.

Flower week 3 day 15: She got dramatically bushy this week and stretched a little. I gave them both a nice trim getting rid of most of the mature large fan leaves. They really need some lst just need motivation lol so many branches. She showing some signs of flower so I reduced the transition nutrients to flowering and raising ph very slightly over next few weeks. Nutrient: 100% nutrient feedings per 48hrs 15-20% runoff at ph 6.05 Per gallon Ghe florabloom 5ml Ghe floramicro 4ml Ghe CaMg+ 4ml Ghe floragro 1ml

Flower week 4 day 23: They putting on some flower now one plant is much healthier than the other I do not like mesh pots these clones usually have a slight bit of odd colour streak in leave randomly this plant has had most I’ve seen with a little bit of twisted growth the roots don’t appear to be doing as well as the plastic pot that plant is taller bushier and much nicer in appearance. Increasing water slightly till we find the sweet spot for 20% run off.

Flower week 5: So have my hands full with this quarantine crap with the whole fam home lol I haven’t been as attentive to the plants. As per usual my Skunk No1 came down with some spider mites which were gone for awhile. These things are frustrating almost enough to give up on Skunk No1 but it’s a great energetic smoke going to be hard but seems every run I have I get them and they originate on the skunk. As a result of not paying attention they damaged a number of leaves, so much later in flowering than I wanted I did a very large defoliation and gave a couple treatments of 9 parts water 1 part alcohol. On a very small plus side the large defoliation reduced the humidity slightly. Plant in smaller plastic pot still doing much better. Nutrient: 100% nutrient feedings per 48hrs 15-20% runoff at ph 6.05 Per gallon Ghe florabloom 5ml Ghe floramicro 4ml Ghe CaMg+ 4ml Ghe floragro 1ml

Flower week 6: Some decent recovery for the smaller plastic pot plant from the defoliation. Spider mites still around but population is dramatically reduced. The fabric pot plants recovery is a bit slower buds are not quite as big some leaves still showing signs of root damage. I will give these pots one more chance before I just toss them. Ran out of alcohol and no store seem to have it anymore since this lockdown anyone have any other mild effective methods that is safe to use and won’t dry up all the pistils?? Seems the population is down I am just manually killing as many adults as I can see but this won’t solve the problem. I also noticed since I didn’t do so much lst the branches are a little bendy the plant leans easily aside from lack of lst I switched from CaMg+ which is organic based and did a great job at firm stems but on downside it fowls water fast so cannot make nutrient ahead of time. I switched to Cali magic and again stems are weak and floppy but I can make nutrients that last nearly 2 weeks if I wanted instead of 24 hrs max. I think I’m gonna start doubling Cali magic 8ml per gallon instead of 4 see if it helps Nutrient: 100% nutrient feedings per 48hrs 15-20% runoff at ph 6.05 Per gallon Ghe florabloom 5ml Ghe floramicro 4ml Ghe CaMg+ 4ml Ghe floragro 1ml
