SS are in the plastic pots and growing well. sorry that I don't have a lot of information on this phase, but I'm writing this retrospectively. Anyway they were growing healthy, a little slow, anyway basically nothing exciting was happning.
Also the ladies were joined by 1x Northern Lights and 1x Early Skunk which I got in week 4-6. Both were also grown from seed. Still on my balcony though. (For nights I took 'em inside due to the temps)
So now we're talking - Started intense training these weeks. For the Super Skunks; I topped them at the third node to set-up a mainline later on. Also tried to let the tops survive...
Northern Lights had a bit stunned growth so I left her the way she was and didn't do anything to her, so she can catch up.
The Early Skunk was FIMed - created about 6 tops.
Also now I switched to a more powerful 600WHPS Bulb, which I left at 400W to start and gradually increased the wattage.
Plants were all repotted and enjoying the new light. I tied down the two Main Tops on the Super Skunks to create a symmetrical Mainline. It's my first time mainlining and I try to learn as much as I can. Definetely worth saying that an early Start (3rd instead of 4th node) is better.
The two tops of the SuperSkunk have been topped again to create now 4 symmetrical tops. This is a good base for a mainline, but were gonna be topping these babies soon a final time for a total of 8 colas.
So a lot of work has been done. First the Super Skunks: They were topped again for a total of 8 colas. each time, the lower growth except the fan leaves were removed. For one plant I left the lower shoots on, trained the tops with LST to the outside and created a total of 16 tops. one of the other plants lost 25% of its growth... one branch snapped of during LST, so now were gonna have only one side of it (4+4 tops) + 1.
Also the position of the plants was changed in the box and a really good black and white foil attached to the walls of the box.
Also we have another fan providing some good extra airflow around the tops. - they love it!
Early Skunk and Northern Lights were tied down with some rope to get it to an angle of about 60°. Like this some of the lower branches start to pop up and allows better light distribution throughout the whole plant. Also applied some Supercropping to them, because they start to outgrow the space and I prefer them bushier.
The SuperSkunk only received some LST to even out the main colas, now just waiting until they're ready to flower!!!! any ideas? how long do you guys think they will need b4 flower?
Also the light was set higher on day 60. the babies are stretching and i needed more distance
Hi everyone! I'm wondering when to put my Mainlined Super Skunk plants into flower? They are in week 9 of Veg now and are starting to look like I want them. The 8 Maincolas that I wanted have been created and the "skeleton" of the plant is ready. How long to go?
Cheers

Hi there!
I think if the girls are trained the way you want them you can flip to flowering.
Make sure they are growing healthy before flipping so they continue to grow that way too.
I would do lollipopping and some defo now when you flip and after 3 weeks of flowering one more defo. This way your main colas will get huge and all the energy goes there and not to the lower bud sites.
Hi growers!
Estimation needed on what I can expect per plant from my super skunk. They're in Week 9 of Veg, 38cm tall, mainlined for 8 colas. I want to switch them to 12/12 next week.
What can I expect as yield per plant and how is it gonna change if I wait a week longer?
Setting up for 12/12!! The babies are in the prime of their health and loved the defoliation. The mainline is good on all the SuperSkunks and now just giving it the last days of Veg.
Played around with the fan set-up a bit.
So this week we already performed a small defoliation session to lollipop the babies to their beauty, I think one has to defo a lil bit more on them though soon . lower shoots are already getting big don't wanna sacrifice
Northern Lights and Early Skunk were defoliated a lil bit more severe, since they're a lot bushier and not mainlined like the others. they can keep up with it though - all of the plants are getting a lil bigger
So here are the pictures I promised - time to scroll through the jungle
The babies are getting really huge now - stretching is taking place on all plants and is really noticeable in the sense that the node inter-space is getting bigger. This applies for the Super Skunks - babies are gonna be massive , first buddevelopment is also taking place B)
''''''''
Because Early Skunk and Northern Lights were not trained and a few weeks ahead they are really at the size maximum for this box - fingers crossed that my will for huge plants and colas won't turn against me later on .. NL definitely grew the genetics out for indoor and grew into a nice Christmas tree shape
Sooo still stretching but I think its balancing out now. The plants start to produce beautiful sticky buds and pistils - also one can see the first trichomes coming along. Unfortunately the temps are getting really high now - experimented with some new fan set-ups but its still super high, like 31C-32C.
Hey guys I need some advice on the fan set-up to reduce temps! Mine are like 32'C!!
I have a big intake sucking through carbon filter, with passive intake + pc fan. Also 1x vent under canopy and 2x above canopy.
How can I direct them to reduce temps in the box??
Cheers! #420
привет, бро! 👋 направляй обдув на крайние точки роста. Расположи вентиляторы с маленьким уклоном вверх, чтоб захватывался поток снизу (где холоднее воздух) и направлялся в сторону выхода. Необходимо исключить лишние вихри и задержку теплого воздуха в боксе. На свой первый pc growbox я устанавливал пассивный вход и два корпусных кулера от pc на выход. Обдув осуществляли два процессорных кулера от pc. 👌😇👍 Удачи, бро!
Babies are coming along nicely and strong. Everything okk as you can tell from the pics - BUT .... watch out bummer ahead....
Unfortunately we had to suffer from some nasty bugs. Thripse & Spider Mites my gosh how much worse can it get. Agressively killed everything in sight with bare hands first, afterwards we introduced NeemOil to the bitches. Dissolved it 5ml/2l and sprayed the plants with it, focusing of course on the leaves and fanleaves where they like to sit and breed. Since were already far into flowering though I wanna be careful not to have too much moisture on the buds and subsequently potential for mold. Luckily the bugs are keeping away from the buds and pistils for now.
Also ordered some predatory mites to proper tackle them mofos.
So this week the predatory mites arrived and we distributed them on the plants where the contamination was most severe. Looking all good so far - the plants are loooking stroong. One thing they are battling with is the weight of their own buds, which is a good sign of course - time for some mo rope action as you can tell from the pics. confident with how things are gonna turn out. lets see how long we can push the babies
