Cool! I'm making something similar.. I have a old air purifier and I'm adding carbon/filter to it.. Hopefully it will clean this skunk out of the room haha. Thought I would mention it to give you an idea.

Haha.. That is sad! Maybe you can keep her and purposely hermy her, you can make feminized seeds from it.

Very nice, I was thinking of doing the same and making a separate filter for outside the tent to help scrub the air. You'll have to let me know how it does

Oh man, do feminized seeds come from Hermy's? I didn't know that, threw a bunch of them out once upon a time because a friend said Hermy seeds don't grow well. Some friend..

I've never done it before.. I just keep pollen in the freezer. From what I understand hermies produce what are called "nanners" or "bananas". They are filled with pollen and you pluck them out of the buds and pollinate another female for seeds. (I'll let you know about the air purifier when I get the filters in!)

Thanks Pookat! Actually embarrassed to say that this isn't the first time I've left extras off to the side in solo cups... They've always produced at least a couple grams (and have been in far far worse growing conditions light/temp/fertilizer wise so I'm hoping I can hit it BIG and pull an eighth off of this one)She's a Beauty, she looks well happy. bit thin and scragly but......

Ohh gotcha, I don't want to sacrifice any of these females to seeds but if I had a larger scale grow I'd definitely be up for making my own seeds... For now, Attitude Seedbank is my go to

Thats why you got the scraggler. put her to seed, high chance the seeds will be #1 grade,do 3-4 harvest on her,shell self seed, i've had some beauty's come from the runt's

Oh, I thought they meant to say I'd need to hermie the runt plant and use those male pods to then fertilize another female. The little female is actually doing pretty well so I'm tempted to let her finish up

The Skunk #11 plant at 20 days of flowering. 
What does this fan leave look like to ya'll? I was thinking the small brown/yellow spots were either Magnesium or Calcium, and the larger brown spot was Phosphurus deficiency. How far into flower do you usually start to see fan leaves shrivel and fall off the plant? I'm starting to get some falling off of the bottoms of the plant now.

you can do both...if your wanting to try, snip the flowers off her just before they're fully ready but cut them close as you can to the bud side, maybe leave a small stalky bit 1-3mm, she'll go back to veg for a while but leave lights as flower mode, 2-4wk she'll re-bud, do this 2 or three time but look for the (i call 'em coconuts), hermie bits....you cant miss 'em, (they're faster to mature than the flowers) they look like Bannanas when open, cut one or two off before they open, hang in a jar warm, get pollen and fertilize the flowers you want to cross. easy
The ones still on Scraggler will do the bizniss on itself......congrats your a diy breeder.
Other folk do it a bit different, but thats how i do it....or very similar.
they need more food when they flower feed her up she's having Babies!!!!
it took me 15 min to type that out, am getting faster.
hope your successful

One of the Phatt Fruity plants at 20 days flower:
These Phatt Fruity plants have grown slower, and are maturing in flower slower than my other plants. The bud sites are closer together on them though, so hopefully they start filling up soon. Have a feeling I'm going to end up preferring the Skunk #11 and White Lavender plants to these - funny because the latter were a freebie throw in when I bought the Phatt Fruity's.

Try mixing 1 tablespoon Epsom salt to 1 gal water once a week I used to do that before I started using cal- mag
