Hello herk, things are looking good man! I see you liked it enough to do it a third time, I have had my eye on buying some skywalker seed myself. I may do it this winter. How did your last harvest go? I looked for your thread and found this one. Haven't been around in some time.

PHENO #3+ THE MAKING OF A KEEPER!!! a couple of more hurtles to pass & the one i call #3+ is gonna be my prefered r/p skywalker plant it was taken from a pheno #3 that pollinated itself in last summers brutal heatwave & gave me 11 seeds it has better bud spacing, is faster to bud after the flip & has more & stronger side branching but so far has retained all the skywalker traits i like harvest time will tell the full story but its got winner! winner! - chicken dinner! wrote all over it gonna be a main stay in my 4th grow of the skywalker

pheno#3+ is my fastest & i have a lagger next to it the 2 in the back are doing considerable better than the lagger but i think #3+ is the best #3+ is on the right the one trailing behind is on the left all are developing somewhat slower than they did in hydro

theyre about done stretching & its a good thing because ive only got about a foot left to raise my light im gonna feed again tonight im really interested to see how different the soil with the organics is gonna make im working on a rockwool/coco/ soil blend for my next grow & i'll be going back t the e&f 2-gal. smart-pots set-up i used in the last grow i was hoping to harvest this around august 10th. but i dont think things are developing fast enough to make that happen

i had to do a little supercropping to even out my canopy the stretch has slowed way down i think im gonna be able to pull this off ive got a lot of bud sites that are filling in by the day & of coarse ive got the one plant that continues to lag in bud production

things are finally coming around & producing the kind of results i want & i know ive got a few more little things to do but once again the skywalker is coming through in spite of a rocky beginning im getting happier these arent the best pics but at least you can see im getting something that resembles bud production

the stretch has finally stopped & not a moment too soon either ive been working a lot of hours & im way behind on pruning out a lot of the bottom growth pheno #3+ continues to be leader of the pack

well its sunday morning another week has passed & im way behind on pruning ,getting my clones into blocks & getting them fed ill be feeding the gh 3-part flora series nutes this time bud development is quite a bit slower than last grow so for sure ill be going back to hydro for my next grow as my last grow was much more controlable than this one & im not altogether sure if i still feel the organics are the direction i want to go either in the next few weeks ill get it all figured out not sure if im gonna do coco or rockwool or a blend of both for my next grow my stash is running low ive gotten rid of more than i should of people just love this stuff

thanks mr. head my crazy work schedule makes soil growing hard for me im for sure going back to e&f hydro & my res. on a timer to flood daily i about cooked my pheno #3+ im hoping it comes out of it i think i caught it in time ive got a lot of irons in the fire as ive got our place up for sale & trying to buy a place in a small farm town with a basement & a shop before i retire negotiations are in the works & last week a 76hr. work week just kicked my ass so my 4th grow of this will more than likely be in a new room & pheno#3+ will be my choice ive got other strains on tap but i like this one

The grow is going well but the recent heat wave killed off my babies for my next grow & on top of that I've got to reboot my computer I'm writing this with a borrowed I. Pad hopefully I'll be back up with pics over the weekend still in the process of trying to buy another house so it's looking like my new room might be going up possibly with Cali connection black water or possibly doing a new seed order

ok got my computer fixed & have since harvested & evaluated soil/coco & for me coco is hands down the winner ive put my home up for sale so im not starting another grow a friend has the skywalkers going in a larger hydro grow & doing good along with cc blackwater im eyeballing some other strains but still like the skywalker & when i build my new room it could very well go another round
