very cool.
I have 3 lemon skunks full flower right now.. with this one very sativa looking bear clawing girl. she is the only one that bear clawed out of my three so i have no idea what caused it . she is obviously very sensitive to heat or something..
Take it easy

That's cool that we all have more or less the same Phenotype, that's about as close as it gets.
Mine are still in veg though, but Just for you guys I'll train my girl that flowers soon.
I'll slowly crank her flower food up to like 150% if I can.

We'll see if I can combat the claw!

nice journal , i too am growing superskunk frm greenhouse, have been for over 12 months perpetually. your pheno is the exact same as mine n takes big stretches in flower. im currently @ 17 days into flower using 25litre bubbler -for the first 7 days on 12/12 i feed grow then change to bloom 2nd week so mine are just starting to go into flower. they were all @ 12-14 inches when i put them into the tent n there now @ 32-33inches tall and still growing almost a half inch ev day.

i manicure mine in a way to minimise wastage so i only leave a few brances on each after cloning. this way in flower you dnt get as much wild growth which inturn lets more light into the plant ,, yields are fantastic from the lemmons -3-5oz dry depending on size when flowered and the stone so heavy at times , makes its a great alrounder.

scribed and will try n post a pic of mine here...
keep up the gd wrk man..

I would like to see a picture, you say superskunk (I did not know greenhouse had super skunk) from what I have read it seems that super skunk is quite a bit different from Lemon Skunk.

Post some pictures.

I also had a chance to run out to what seems like my favourite store and picked up two things I was in need of for this part of my grow. I am moving into the second phase of flower and will be adding some:

Advanced Nutrients Overdrive to the reservoir


and for those times when old spice is just not enough, there is:

1) do u find it to be a little on the sensitive side? Ex....dosnt like heavy feeding, over/underwatering,mild stress
2) how would you rate your smell (even thou u only 3 weeks in)

Thanks-

i know this isnt my journal but i find they like high strength feeding routines, for example mine are at an ec/cf of 32 and next week they will be peaking at 34-36 which is double the recomended strength of my feed. most will say you dnt need to go this high but i found with my lemons that they wanted more n more.

i start strong when cloning (ec / cf 12) so this is why im achieving such a high strength feed at this time... the smell isnt that strong on mine yet but when you rub the crystal covered leaves you can very clearly smell the lemon..
mine are in hydro so under/over watering cant really happen imo, i take it yours are in soil then, if so i cant really say much coz anythin ive ever grown in dirt has died but im sure sum of the boys or gals in here wud be able to answer that.. if your exp mild stress id prob have to say that it wont be too much to worry about. if your stems r red in places then you might be slightly underfeeding but that is only my opinion m8 and i wud ask a few more ppl b4 you go n up your feed...

if myself or others can help you in any way then we will but you will have to tell us evthing , eg , feeding routine , lights , temps etc etc etc.. hope this helps m8...

High all,

As you can see the ladies have made it through the first 4 weeks of flowering and are looking nice, the next three weeks I will once again be upping the nutrient intake.

This weekend will be reservoir change and I am going to shop-vac out the reservoir and leave the roots air feeding for a good half hour, after that they will be in a 2 part nutrient mixture of Advanced Nutrients Grow and Advanced Nutrients Overdrive (1:3.5)

The plants have basically stopped the upward growth, there is one branch that was heading back for the light after healing so she got another round of supper cropping.

During the reservoir change I will be having another trimming session to clear out some of the smaller fan leaves, I will leaves the bigger ones to provide extra N if required.

I got another surprise on Tuesday and was greeted to a mailbox with my auto-top off device, this I ordered for my next grow which was going to be SCRoG. This device would have handled the remote reservoir topoff that I am currently doing manually, the picture of it is below.



The below pictures were taken after the lamps had been on for approximately 4 hours, so you can see I am having an easy time controlling temperature.



Tri-meter reading are quite nice, reservoir is like ICE :peace::



Now the herb pictures:



early BUD porn:





And here is the poor lady who had to get a second round of supper cropping, it is now on it's side, sorry about the horrible picture.



So how am I doing?

regards,

Wow the lemon is quite thin but still looks quite nice, you will have to return and post your final harvest weight. I am quite interested in what the harvests will be as there are a few Lemon Skunk growers who will all be harvesting in the next two months.

I know the question was not directed to me, but here is my 2¢ anyway.

I find my Lemon Skunk to be almost indestructible, I had a slow start which is why from seedling to 12/12 was almost 2 months. After the slow start I have been using Advanced Nutrients 3 part (Micro, Grow, and Bloom) at medium, high, and deadly levels and the ladies continue to do well.

I have had some minor discolouration 24 -30 after starting feed dosages but after 2 days the ladies get there even colour back, I stressed them very badly during the first two weeks while they were seedlings so I would say they have come back very well. I have two clones that I have been experimenting with and I must say I have done things to them most users here on RIU would stone me for and they are small and thriving now.

You can see I had a question quite similar to yours regarding smell, the post can be found here.

Well I do have some SWEET and will be adding it to my next reservoir change, so I will get back to you on how well the product helps.

regards,
