UPDATE: Day 1 of week 14- Thursday 19th Nov!!!! Woop woop! Weโ€™re getting close, my magnifying lense arrived and Iโ€™ve got my first real good look at the trichomes.. All looking fairly cloudy with about 10-15% ambers coming through. So as weโ€™re super close now Iโ€™ve now started flushing. Not doing a run off as have been using Biobizz soil & Nutes. First flush is done and girls are looking happy. One lady seems to have really heavy colas as sheโ€™s struggling to stand up straight. So Iโ€™ve staked her to keep her more upright. Think she may bring the best yield of all four girls as it stands so far. Final couple of weeks now, I canโ€™t believe Iโ€™ve made it this far and really canโ€™t wait to try my first home grown bud๐Ÿƒ UPDATE: Day 2 of week 14 - Friday 20th Nov: Had to water them early as the girls were very dry after their first flush.. I on average water them every 48 hrs, but they were ready after 36. Already noticing some slight discolouration on the leaves ๐Ÿ... Glad I didnโ€™t jump the gun and chop them this week after seeing some amber trichomes.. A bit more LST as they had stretched a little. Iโ€™m short on lamp to plant distance but noticed what looked like a little leaf burn on one of the tallest nugs. So did what I could to bring the height of them down just a little ๐Ÿ‘Œ UPDATE: Day 4 of week 14 - Sun 22nd Nov: As soon as the lights went on today, more water seemed required at around 36hrs since the last flush. The girls seem to be loving it! Buds do seem to be fattening up a little more each day and I think one girl is slight more ahead than the others as she has mostly orange pistils compared to the other three.. Still need to see more amber trichomes on all four ladies before theyโ€™re ready! UPDATE: Day 5 of week 14 - Monday 23rd Nov: Small amount of LST to keep the girls as even as poss.. Defo seeing some discolouration in the fan leaves now.. All but one of the four girls have nearly completely orange pistils now which are folding back in to the buds. But Trichomes need to be a little more amber before theyโ€™re ready.. The fourth lady however is slightly behind with less orange pistils, some white ones still to turn orange and trichomes are still a mix of milky and clear on the lower buds. When I topped this one it didnโ€™t work as well as the others so she has one really massive cola and all the others are much smaller in comparison to the other three plants.. I think weโ€™ve got a week to 10 days left roughly till harvest. UPDATE: Day 6 of week 14 - Tuesday 24th Nov: Another water flush again today.. All seems well, lower small buds still need a few more amber trichomes I think.. But gonna post a question on here to make sure.. Donโ€™t wanna get this wrong. Sooooooo close now and Iโ€™ll be seeing ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ

Smoke report! 10/10/20 Tastes so sweet with hints of earth and pine! Nice one to smoke at all times in the day or night! Has effects of relaxness and calming feels makes you feel settled if that makes sense! Was amazing to grow this girly I have another in solo performing! She grew so fast in veg healed within 2 days of topping! I topped her twice early in and sprayed her with voodoo juice diluted with added bacto and she was just loving it! Buds are dense and covered in dancing diamonds! Not the strongest of smokes but so good to smoke leaves you in great thoughts sometimes dreamy ones! Tastes sweet and pleasant on the throat and chest lime honey! Highly suggest this strain for gamers streamers day workers who just want a lift!

Same old same old. No changes this week at all. Having changed it up to watering every day has made a huge difference and this plant is really bulking. My guess will be another 2 weeks till chop time. The smell is very strong and when rubbing a leaf I still pick up a fruit smell.

Alright guys, I'm back First I thought she wasn't going to make it but then she started developing even better so we've got her already blooming guys! We started adding floranova bloom but we keep adding floranova grow for the veggie stage, we will increase bloom nutes soon We continue applying LST plus some watering every so often to keep her moist and wet but never super wet just chill Depending on your lights wattage you could need more or less water you will have to figure it out yourself but for me is 600ml per 24 hrs morning and night time usually I keep the very well hydrated and they have been showing off for good!!!

Will update the week as I go! (DAY 52) Watered today with the increased nutes! Water was pHed to 6.5 with pH+, and she got 2L. She got some burnt tips last time but it's alright overall. She's also showing some canoe-ing of her leaves presumably due to excess heat, so I've opened a window to let some cool air in. Hopefully this helps some! (DAY 54) Well I'm starting to see why people need filters for smell hahaha. She's really starting to stink! But pistils are starting to turn brown so I'm excited :) Hoping the burnt edges of the leaves aren't a big issue. Watered a bit, 2L with only 2mL of CalMag. (DAY 56) I'm not sure if I'm inexperienced or what, but it seems that she's growing hermie features? But the 'sacs' all have pistols.. maybe they're just buds and I'm paranoid ๐Ÿ˜…

Skunk Special, a.k.a. Red Skunk, stems from the infamous Red Skunk clones that conquered the Netherlands in the late eighties/ early nineties. Ferry started working on the Skunk Special in the nineties. The Skunk Special is the result of several S1 lines inbred with a 25% of Automatic. The current line was selected over several generations in order to retain the right and essential Skunk features, yet creating a fast flowering strain. Showing almost no variety between the individuals, this is among the most stable and homogenous strains since it was selected from a few thousand plants. This Skunk Special is a powerful and strong plant with thick, solid stems, creating massively tight buds during the flowering stage. The Skunk Special has gorgeous looking red pistils that give this plant an amazing bag appeal. Skunk Special is suitable for indoor, greenhouses and outdoors if grown in temperate and/or the warm Mediterranean climate. It is a massive yielding outdoor behemoth with amazing trichome production. The smell can be described as extremely pungent and citral with the classic cat-piss smell of the old-school Skunk. It is a very clean smoke. A Skunky and slightly sweet taste that is pleasantly acidic towards at the end. A mildly relaxing body high that causes a tingling sensation combined with a very pleasant head high.

8/10: Seeing great growth now..lots of branching. I actually fed them yesterday, but didn't update...several have popped some pistils and pretty much the rest are about to, and I'm out of bat guano, so I went ahead and gave them Open Sesame so they'd have more P available over the next several days. 8/11: I rearranged the garden a little. Moved all four #10's to the right side, the #4's are mostly in the middle...very branchy..the others, mostly to the left are the #2's and maybe a #3. The big plant on the lower left is an auto, as is the runt, and the plant at lower right. The "fern-looking" plant is actually a Jacaranda Tree (blue fern tree)...it's about to get kicked out... 8/12: I did a little training on some of the bushier #4's today. I don't have much space to work with, but I was able to do a little to encourage a race for apex dominance. There were enough pistils on them that I decided to switch the week to "Flowering." 8/13: I fed them today with ONE and added Open Sesame, Silica, Signal, and Sweet & Sticky. I sprayed them all with Axiom (Harpin proteins) and Boom Boom Spray right at dark. 8/14: BAM! They are poppin pistils left and right now...lotsa lovely little cotton tops.๐Ÿ‘ 8/15: Day 15 since the flip to 12/12..good progress. The #2's and #10's are stacking up and stretching pretty well and the #4's just keep bushing up.

Despite the stresses the plant feels very well. I did the topping last time, it will have 32 central branches and many other branches, I am going to leave it in the vegetation phase for 6 weeks, I will plant the scroging and fill one square meter ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘Œ

This week we have another big jump in height; they are taller than myself. I gave them more bloom nutrients this week and the daylight is waining fast now. We finally got a considerable amount of rain in my area, that was nice and refreshing for all of us including the plants. I hope that as the light continues to drop off significantly and the nights start to get cool, we will start to see some buds ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒฑ

Still chugging along even though I've neglected them a little. A fun little side experiment, I learned a lot. At least I'll have flower from 6 more girls, not a complete waste.
