Hey Flowa, what is this gnine strain? Do you have any info on it? Im coming up with nothing at all and am interested in what its lineage is ;)

I have little more info i can give you! :( I do know that this dude wasn't prepared to hand over a clone while growing it for nearly 3 years apparently! I do know she is Indica dominant with her broad leaves, and definitely a skunk heritage, the pictures i've seen of ripe buds look similar to some of the diesel strains, very dark, bulky and immensely resinous. I think it might of been from his favoured collection. The smell even in grow is almost repulsive, its stinks like rotten fruit, and breaking ome shade leaves off i was left with sticky sweet smelling fingers. I dont even know if i'm going to like the taste/smell!? but to have a surprise will be fun!

Day 29 Grow...

Those buckets seem to work well together, i can't tell from the pics, but sometimes those buckets degrade over time, and might get a little 'crispy' due to the chems/light/heat over time. But if they are heavy duty then i wouldn't worry :)
The buckets and pan underneath are all high density polyethylene (HDPE, number 2 resin code). I hope they hold up to the chemicals.
 
This is my homage to Flowamasta:

I know I won't get 2 pounds from this plant, but I'll be happy with a couple ounces or so, given the other limitations in my cabinet. Thanks to you for your journal and all your helpful advice, Flowa!
I like it! Nicely done.

If i had a choice, i'd grow nothing BUT skunk ;) You just can't beat that taste/smell!!! :) I don't think there's anything else in the world that can be so easily identified by the smell.
Good luck :)
I have to agree, Skunk just can't be beat! When I started growing about 2 years ago, I set myself a goal to grow 100 strains. I'm somewhere in the mid-40's right now. All the ones I wanted to hoard and not share tended to have Skunk genes. Just say the word Cheese and I'm there.

Sweet bro sounds like another killer strain to me! Definitely looks to have skunk in there somewhere, cant wait to see how she turns out :D

Done the sleestackx skunk..very nice...got the g13 labs cheese in now..and wow..mad early resin...lovely aroma..large bud structure...should be good!

Morning mo'zy! All is well bro! Just saw an outdoor of a mates blue venom (my clone lol)..got the maddest purple color with red leaves all over! Just mentioning coz you where keen on info on this one before....
Currently I got g13 labs cheese,2 hso bubba ksh, critical jack, critical + in flower...vegging are 2 mkultras, sleestkxsknk clone, purple wreck clone, dinachem clone, blue venom clone and ww baby,7/8 sour baby...ahhhhhh..

i dont mind the cam phone pics :) I got a great imagination, and can fill the colour in with my mind ;) I know you snapped a few beauties in your time!

Scrogs mate you're back :D hope all is well mate!!
winter brings on the best in erb ;) well for hydro anyway :) ........ actually i don't mind the outtie in a greenhouse this time of year. Mine has some nice purple going on now, and her sisters getting bigger. I'll take some pics in a minute they are worth seeing especially for little winter girls. The smell from the little one is out of this world!! I could only wish the indoor was as sweet as that.........:weed: The purples always bring on more flavour, gotta love that. Wait till you see her, she looks nearly black. At night her resin glistens on her dark purple calyxs and it just looks special!

Hey flowa,
When I go back and look at your page 1 pics, It looks like your return line is plumbed into your rez near the bottom?
How high off the ground is it? Do you have "water table" issues?
It seems like the rez water should backflowing into your pot?
I have mine plumbed above the water in my rez's surface. The return line tap on the pot(s) are a a bit higher. My line has a natural coil tendency so it forces me to have a low point where the water gets stagnant (pythium), and is also forcing me to keep my plants high.
It Sucks.
I'm high as shit and apparently missing some physics concept here. Help a brotha out!

I have the pot on a milk crate about 3 inches above the nutrients maximum level. I have the return line plumbed into the bottom for very specific reasons :) This allows the nutes to come flowing straight down from the bottom of the pots and swishing into the res, RIGHT next to the outlet (Feed line) This may look slightly complicated so i'll try to include a pic if i can find one.
The main reason for plumbing both into the res is so the nutrient is mixed well and if i want to add another res if i'm going away, i just connect the 2 with a hose for the return section and the 2 are connected and stay at a balanced level.
I can also use this as a vacuum method while flushing, by closing the return line off at the base of the pot and dumping it when the pot/perlite is full.
The pump is on the opposite end of the res than the inlet, so naturally it comes it one side, and flows straight through getting sucked up by the pump on the other getting nicely nice and evenly distributed.
The bottom pot has a canal where the outlet is, and there is next to nothing when it comes to stagnant water, plus i feed often enough for it not to be a problem, including keeping the tent hot enough to evaporate all that drinking she's doing.SAM_1983.jpg

Day 32 Grow!







Notice the insect light??? AWESOME insect protection while lights are on!!! Or in grow phase keep it on 24 hr in a dark section lower in the tent!

Looking Good Flow! Can't wait to see the Gnine go through swell.

Took a few snaps of my tent setup. Most of my setup was inspired by this thread.

4 ft by 4 ft tent. Two 10 gallon buckets, flowering, week 4, Swiss Cheese from nirvana.

Co2 enriched and UVB of course. I have an Autopilot greenhouse master controller controlling my Co2 and dehumidifier.

Swiss Cheese 2 001.jpgSwiss Cheese 2 007.jpgSwiss Cheese 2 016.jpgSwiss Cheese 2 019.jpgSwiss Cheese 2 008 (2).jpg

The last photo is edited, I couldn't get a good side photo so I edited it for everyone to see the massive size of these plants.

These plants look HUGE to me, bigger then the 8 coco coir plants I had before. To help imagine, the red buckets have a 17 inch wide diameter at the top and the tent is 48 inches wide.

I'm feeding them 1250 PPM hanna! And they love it, drinking/evaporating a gallon of water a day now.

Thanks for the knowledge, I'm surprised its not being kept secret to be very honest.

Peace.Damiana

Nice, Flowa. Thanks for the response, Tips! I'm going to have to adjust my Res now! These lines have been a real hassle, considering they have a natural curve to them from the roll they were on. A canal bottom pot? I haven't seen anything like that here in the states. It's hard enough trying to find one relatively close to your size without drainage holes.
