Hindu Kush and Super Skunk

Starting off the run with 4 of each. I order 10 seeds of both flavor from nirvana. The seeds were put in "red cups" filled about half way with dirt. As of today all 4 HK plants have popped up and 3 of the SSK have as well. They are under a few fluorescent lights right now and will stay under them for the next 2 weeks untill I harvest my ladys in the HPS room. I believe I will throw them under the 400w HPS then, as well as transplanting them at that same time into 2 or 3g pots. I am going out of town for a week and need to put them in big pots so that I can water them a crap load before I head out. Hopefully they will survive for that week (if not I still have 6 seeds of each).

I'll put some photos up later today or tonight. I love to take photos of my babys so expect lots of pics in this journal.

Here are the little babys today. They are 9 days old. The lights got a little close to a few of them so a few have burnt leaf tips.


top left Super Skunk, middle top SSK, top right Hindu Kush.
bottom left HK, bottom middle SSK bottom right HK.
There is one more HK not pictured.

They seem to be doing better then how the last batch I grew was doing at the same time. (this is my 2nd grow)

How are they looking?

okay here is whats going on with these little guys. I was out of town for about 3 weeks and had a friend water then a few times while I was gone. The shitty thing that happend was the power went out and their timer got all wonky and insteed of being on from 4pm untill 11am and off from 11am till 4pm the light was off from like 7pm till midnight. This made the room get very hot during the day, I believe in the 90's.... very bad. They also didn't get as much water as they should have because the guy watering the plants was out of town himself for about 10 days at one point. Oh well here is how they look, they looked every more droopy last night when I got home but after a good watering last night they look a little better today. The super skunks seemed to do much better then the Hindu Kush. Here are a few pics of em.




Any thoughts on how to make them better? Also I dont really know how one of the super skunk plants topped itself but it seems to have somehow. The temp in the growroom has not gone above 74 now as well since i've been back so thats good.

switch to a 24 on cycle cfl or hps it dont matter...

try adding some light nutes read the bottle and start with their recommended for light or weak plants and consider some Superthrive i just picked up a little 10-12 dolla bottle on my lunch break. i hear alot about it and its been around for 40+ years and used by US Agro, US natnl. forrest service, and lots of other fed agencies for our natural parks local parks etc....

ill see how it improves my kids and update with my experience. but according to the bottle like 2-3 drops a gal is a charm. 10 bucks abottle sounds too cheap right??

Well they are under a 400w HPS for 21 hours a day. I am using Bigfoot Veg A and B right now as well as superthrive.

wait I was wrong they were getting 23 hours of light a day now they have been back to 24 hours a day.

I think I need to put them in begger pots because they seem to need water every 36 - 48 hours. I waited 3 days untill yesterday and they got really droppy again and the soil was really dry so I watered them last night. I just checked and they are pretty dry again after only 24 hours, bigger pot may be needed.

So today I built my veg room and cloned my babys so that I can put them in 12/12 and find out the sex of the plants. Here are a few pics of two of my SSK plant:


And now my new veg room with the clones in it:

I transplanted my babys into one gallon pot with the bottom cut out and then put them in another pot so they have more room and are tall raither then wide, I couldn't find any pots that were tall and not wide... I'll post pics tonight after when the lights go back on.
