1st grow, WHITE SKUNK.

Here is an update to my previous thread.

So I got rid of the wilting one she finally just gave up a few days ago. I currently have only two now.


Don't know if it was to early but I topped the smallest one yesterday and started to super crop the biggest one... Well just some pinch and bends here and there.

My apartment is starting to smell like the plants real strong and I do have a carbon filter and venting to a nearby room. That's all I can do for know.

This morning all the bent that I did to the biggest one are almost completely up again. Wow!

Here are some more pictures from this morning:

one of the inexpensive strains that i've been curious about
so subbing, and things seem to look good at the moment

Sorry to hear your down to two, I wonder what happened. Also curious about the size difference between the two plants were they planted at the same time? how old are they? Im sure you explained all of this in the previous thread but ive only came across this one.

I went with an easy to grow strain. The reason they're different size is because I was practicing germination one seed at a time. I didn't want to lose any. They are just a few days apart. Also I didn't calculate how much soil I needed to fill the 5 gallon smart pots.
Which now I know that one bag of 1.5 cubic feet of Fox Farm Ocean Forest will only fill two 5 gallon Smart Pots.

I think the third one had a real bad transplant shock. I tried everything to my knowledge to keep her alive.
When I had transplanted,her soil had broken apart on me. Maybe some of the root was so damage but I really don't know. At that
I only transplanted once to there final home.
Guess it was okay because all three wouldn't had fit in my tent. It's now and I'm have some issues with the width of the ladies.

Anyways here are some old to recent pictures.

Today is day 7 of 12/12.

Also bought me a dehumidifier. On the smaller lady, I was trying different super cropping methods. I top the smallest one to and about to start femin' the bigger one.

The smell in my apartment is so strong, I have a carbon filter. Any help, my close are starting to smell
like the strain. Im using air fresherners bout that only helps for a bit.

your smell will probably get worse, the usual advice is carbon filters
haven't had odor get too bad in my grows, so haven't used carbon yet
it may help, but for really stinky plants(like these) it might not be enough

Updated pictures.

All my clones died on me. I have a 7" dome with tray and the RW was Ph'ed to 5.5 with distilled water. I took my cuttings and scrape off a little using a clean razor blade at the tip of the cut which was at a 45 degree angle. Then dipped it into my Rootech cloning gel in a separate container and then right into the 1" RW. I have a small CFL that has 6500 lumes' that was being used for lighting the clones.Mist with PH'ed water from time. Had the light on 24/7 for almost two weeks.

Anyways they are the past but I didn't learn what went wrong. So I'm off to my second try but this time I will be using those red party cups with holes and soil. They're looking okay right now just some of the leaves are starting to droop. IDK.

I think your cuttings might still have too much foliage on them, and the stem alone cannot support it snip one or two more leaves off IMO

Hows that? They all have new growing on them. the one in the middle touches the top of the dome. I'll give it a few more days so I can setup a small veg' room for them.

Also I don't have the light directly on them. I have it bouncing of the wall. Since last time it looked like it was burning the plants. Plus there wasn't any root for that.

with clones dying, usually it's light poisoning it takes very little light to root a clone, be patient, takes about 2 weeks or more for tougher cases

Is it okay to maybe add a drop of ST in water to spray the soil with?

ST is super thrive? probably won't hurt, maybe help, lot of different opinions about it

I will update the thread with pictures in a few.

Still haven't been successful with the clone process yet. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I take like 2 or 3 cuttings from my veg' cut the tip at an angle with a clean blade. Added cloning gel from a container separate from the rest then dip the cuttings in the gel and stuck them in jeffy pellets/soil. If in soil the soil will be a tad moist. Then covered the clones in a 7" humidity dome with tray under a cfl light reflecting off of the white walls. Tried 24/7 lights on and 18/6. Sprayed them whenever they need it. Removed the dome from time to time to bring in fresh air.

I do know that I should get myself a T5 light. And get a tent for my veg/clones. I've been using only one tent for veg and flowering. This is my first time. And I'm already at 12/12. I can't take any clones now. I'm going to have to start from seed again.

Can someone please give any advise about cloning.

Sorry guys, been really busy lately and haven't updated this in a bit.....

Anyways I have one grow under my belt. I'm so happy!! harvested 3oz and 6.3 grams dry from my two ladies.
Here are some bud shots.



The taste was very pleasant, makes you want to keep hitting it. The smoked was very smooth with a couch lock affect which last for a few hours. This strain would be best to treat people with insomnia.

Overall everyone loves it around my area. I got rid of all except a few grams for myself.
This easily went for $20 a gram and not .7 like most people around here do.
I'm very happy with my results being that it was my first grow.

On the other hand I wasn't successful with the cloning process. So I had to start from seed again.

My plans are to use my current tent for veg and get myself one that would fit 9-10 5 gallon smart pots.

I'm also planing to purchase some seed but I'm undecided between the follow:

White Widow x Big Bud
Northern Lights x Big Bud
Train Wreck
Critical Mass

I'm leaning more towards the two first ones.

Would you say that the white skunk was sensitive to nutes I'm curious also I've had success cloning by just putting clippings in a cup half way fill d with water after about a week and a half I can see a root then I just stick it in some potting soil

Been growing the skunk for four years (seedism braand?) Also be glad u went from seed again there's three phenos one being very white which is what u got one that is very sativa dominant that not white but potent then there's the perfect 50 50 which is extreme in potency mildly white and stretches minimally. The taste on that pheno is of sweet raspberry lemonade that's the keeper high yields and great look and taste. Also the skunk hates high nutes I vegge mine for two months and cannot exceed 600 ppm for vegge and 1200 for flower or they fuck up bad. As for cloning cut the fan leaves in half all the big ones dip in gel and put in whatever medium your rooting then with a cloning solution ppm it to about 400 I use fish hydrosolate and mist with that everytime. The skunk likes constant nutes in clone, if you do it like that it will be 100 percent success. Aaand last but not least DO NOT underwater, it affects it draamatyically the skunk takes weeks to get on its feet from underwatering. Anymore questions ask like I said this has ben my strain for many years

Also bubbling water in the bottom tray of humidome will keep humidity up and clones watered
