The next round coming in slowly. Will be running 11.5/12.5 with the 660nm initiators on for 10 minutes before lights on, the 730's for 10 minutes after lights out.

Pulled 5x males from the Skunk #1 pheno hunt that threw me back a bit for flowering females but no worries or hurry as I'll be slowing it down for the summer, crazy social schedule for the next couple of months. Will be setting up the Clabber to assist with keeping them going as I have a lot of 3 day trips planned through July and August.

These below are all 3 gal, there's 2x Skunk #1 females at the back from seed. The back-left pheno is smelling and looking good on structure, it will get hit with the Panama male on one branch and fresh pollen from the Skunk #1 male keeper that will be done in a few days. Both are maturing really fast, buds are twice the size of the other two strains at the front, looks like they will be early finishers, possibly in the 7 week range.

At the front is 1x Fireballs from seed (left), not bad structure and really starting to stink, will see if that one goes on once it gets further into flowering. The one on the right is a Blue Ripper x Blue Dream clone which is also a quick finisher and give me a reference pheno. Pic is just before I pulled the last Panama last night, the 4x new one's are at Day 16. There will be 2x 5gal clones added in about a week to fill the space at the back, they need to veg a bit more.



Cheers

Cheers Bob, those dollar store trellises were needed for the Panama's, they pulled them right up almost out of the pot

You got any weight numbers yet?

I'm at about page 90 of the thread. I love it. I'm gonna run a trial of an adaptation of your media. I'm gonna mix 50/50 Sunshine Advanced #4 & Fox Farm Ocean Forest with a touch of Azomite and Mykos. I'll dedicate a few KushBerry and SweetSkunk beans and a few SkunkBerry clones. I'll hope to do a similar conservative, low maintenance program in regards of nutes.

Not yet, will be weighing those Panama's when they dry. They're heavy buggers, first one is almost dry and didn't lose as much weight/bulk as I'd expected, may get to it tomorrow, there's a QP+ on that one. Second one won't be dry until next weekend, expecting around 5 zips on that one, maybe more, depends on how much water it's holding.

Cheers and nice mix, you shouldn't need much on those until maybe late in flower if you're not cutting it with pro-mix/peat. I found anything over 450 ppm with mine and I get burn.

That's amazing. I'm running EC 2.3, no burn.

Yeah took a while to tune that, as soon as I went under 500ppm my weights went up not down - lol

Well cutting with Advanced is basically the same, it's got an organic precharge and advises feeding after 7 days. It's just blended peat, coir, aggressive Perlite

Oh nice, hadn't looked at it as I've never seen it available here and too expensive to be shipping or buying across the border. Looks like basically the same idea. My original thoughts on cutting my soil with pro-mix were from two angles. Better aeration combined with the fabric pots (which that Sunshine mix would provide) and I was ending up with too many bugs which I didn't like indoor. When I was all organic I was fighting flies and shit all the time, no problem outdoor but I don't want a breeding ground for bugs in my house, even if they don't harm the plants.

Skunk #1 male starting to open up the pods, almost done at Day 19.

Cheers and nice job on those numberfour, they're looking healthy, hope you grab a female from them. Structure on those BR's is similar to what I'm seeing on 2x testers coming up in party cups. One of the two I'm running is already smelling on the stem rub, it's a skunky smell which I've seen in any of the keepers. So far any of the BR/BX I've seen are looking consistent as far as structure which I was hoping would come through in the back-cross.

Blue Harley leaf structure on the right looks similar to the P2 pheno I pulled which was more fruity towards the strawberry side, leaves almost look webbed, like duck feet.

That was an awesome grow summary post Gro. That cycle included new breeds
with very different growth styles and you dealt with it perfectly. I popped a new
Ace Panama to enjoy one too. :0). Good luck with the Skunk.

Cheers JD, was an interesting mix in there and a nice stash. Glad to see you pop one of those Panama's, really enjoying the change up, different buzz That SK1 male is smelling awesome, he's already cloned, let's see what he can do

Thanks GroErr, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far and they seem to be loving the LED strip lights. Structure on the BR's is very easy on the eye's and there is a slight skunky / musky smell from one of the stem rubs I did today so could be lucky if I get a female.

Mmm...strawberry now that would be a winner lol. I got to say I've packed all my seed plants in one tent and it has got a little full...


..will be making space in the next few days so they all have a little bit more breathing room as I've noticed a few plants twisting leaves to get some light including the BH.

Nice, how and when they start that stink depends but by the time they're 5-6 nodes it should be very noticeable. Of course that also depends on your sense of smell - lol My eyesight is going, maybe that's why my sense of smell seems to be getting better

Hope you get that space soon, definitely looking a little crowded. But good crowded!

Ok, so the first pull Panama P6 was slightly less total than my QP guess. Fluffier buds once they dried, I thought the bulk might make up for density and it did to a point. Those cans are 1kg coffee cans and if I had put the seeded buds in it would have been overflowing. Still guesstimating closer to 5 zips off the 2nd pheno, it has a few days to dry yet.

Panama P6 pheno:
Buds: 79g
Buds (seeded so had to weigh separately): 9g
Popcorn (generous): 20g
Total Bud: 88g/3.14 oz.
Total Popcorn: 20g/.75 oz.
Total Weight: 108g/3.91 oz.



Cheers

Skunk #1 P3 male at day 21. Will let it dry out and harvest in the next couple of nights.

Thumbnail is how it went (Day 0), it's in a 2 gal pot on the left.
