DNA - LEMoN SKuNK

Got another grow going on that I'm gonna document. The LS from dna. A great strain that I've grown before and been very impressed with. The best herb I ever grew .

Only thing was, I was a fairy new grower when I did it and made a few mistakes, harvested it a little too early at 8 weeks from flip .. this was the difference from being really good herb to what could have been out of this world herb. Now a little wiser I think taking this strain to 10 weeks from flip will produce more weight and a more heavy stone.

This strain has been out of stock for over a year and I'm wondering if the seeds are still the same quality as what I had before. But all is looking good so far. DNA generally haven't let me down though last grow I did a few months back, sharksbreath... absolutely average, very disappointing. But the LS gets rave reviews and seems to be a reliable heavy hitting strain.

so enough rambling .. here I am at 3 weeks in to 12/12 today. I topped very early above node 2 for 4 cola effect.. didn't quite work out as I ended up with 2 dominant and 2 non dominant tops.. I attempted to correct this with a little lst. This worked at first as you can see from week 2's pic. However It ended up wishboning the main stem.. bummer.. main stem completely split in 2 vertically . So won't be doing that again.. thankfully the plant never really skipped a beat. Stalled about 4 days then started stretching again. I just left the lst.. and tied a little bit of shoelace around the branches at the base to support it a bit... but it's sturdy as anything now and looks like it will support the bud weight just fine... and I did get a decent result in opening the plant out a bit and reducing the stretch..she seems to be just stopping stretching as of today also.

Grow is as always in a closet under a 250 watt hps. Garden centre generic potting compost and "chilli focus " chilli food from start to finish.

week 1 of 12/12

week 2 of 12/12.. notice the lst attempt. seemed good idea at the time.

Week 3

took about 4 days to recover from stress of main stem snap but kicking into gear now ; )

week 4 , buds are starting to form up nicely. Skunky smell starting to emerge but still not a concern.Suger leaves prodicing a little resin already and it's a very candy like lemon smell ... really nice. Stretching has stopped and I have now reduced my feeding ratio to water water feed, rather than feed feed water which I do during the stretching faze. Getting a few yellowing leaves at the base but I think this is just a low light issue, these leaves are about 3 feet away from the 250 watt and shaded by all the leaves above, overall the plant looks excellent.

another week 4 shot .

I got some lemon skunk by DNA too, in my garden.

I grew DNA Lemon OG Kush before and it was some mighty fine smoke.

Did it yield well?

Good stuff how do you like the strain herban?

This is my first time growing it but I have loved smoking this strain for quite some time now. It's a heavy yet mellow high. I like to read or study on this strain.

week 5 still alive and getting to the good part

Dna lemon skunk was one of my early grows I too have wanted to go back and try it again To see how it would fare

give it a go herk, it's pretty easy to grow, pretty forgiving of all my fuck ups so far,

I fucked up badly last week I forgot to water her and woke up to her wilted badly, lower leaves suffered but she bounced back after being watered, shes fading a bit now but she is a lot healthier than I expect at this stage so i'm happy,looks to be a solid 2.5 oz on here at least.


just before this pic was taken I flushed her today a good 20 litres of water followed by a full strength feed. It'll be interesting to see how she responds to that tomorrow.

week 6

That's how my lemon walker pheno look . Lemon skunk x skywalker og, by dna grow your own.

Looks great! I've got chocolope kush from DNA great strain.

Looking good what medium and nutes are you using?

Canna natural coco + kermazit 70/30% Biotabs + bat guano

Shiiit man, I'm so sorry I'm late to the party Puff, totally missed your thread mang She's a beauty of a plant mate, as always!! I'm subbed now!!

Ok so here is week 7.5... work prevented me from getting shots right at week 7.

so she is getting very autumny looking, I'm feeding her 10 mls of biobizz grow every watering at the moment as my chilli food ran out. Doesn't seem to be stopping her from turning these colours though, maybe this was related to last weeks flush? Or is this not a natural part of the process?

The big concern at the min is she looks nowhere near ready. Very frosty but complete lack of red hairs ...the very bottom buds have a few but the top colas are all pure white still... I'm really hoping she ripens very quickly within the next 3 weeks. Otherwise I have the bad situation of having a plant dead before it's ripe or having some freaky 14 week pheno which will be a pain in the balls

As you can see though she is packing on the weight nicely, not shabby for 250 watts I figure 2 oz maybe.
