Hi miss squirrel, welcome to my thread.
do like i did, buy a cheap lux meter, then look at this


see what you get on your readings according to this guide line and it will be much better for them :)

Peace :tiphat:

Yeah they slowed down until I did less of everything

now they have lots of new clear trichs 50% milky and only the odd amber. it gets covered by new calyxes if they appear. These are for a medical person, i was going to cut them for me, now i cant use them so i need them to be mostly amber. but if i do it will be 12 weeks cause its ten now

I've gone 16 weeks before...

Don't stop until you feel ready...

I feel it gets better, the longer you go...

I researched my strains more, they are 9-12 week maturers, but I believed the advertisement 😂

I am at 9.5 weeks, 10% milky, 0% amber on my new loupe. Little smell. So they will get better.

My LIFTA on trimming makes cabbage. I think they will shed a lot of that and now i have a huge bud on a too big pot.

I want to give some of this to a med patient i am reading my laws about that if you need a license that's wrong you should be able to give some away to real needy people for free. if the cannabiz didn't make the alws wrong

The seed sellers are always listing the shortest time possible.
I helps to sell their seeds.

Who wants to buy a 12 week strain, when you can get a 7 week strain.


Apparently a plant doubles it's amount of resin in its last two weeks before harvest, so I like to wait as long as possible.

Today was watering day for my skunk, she have a been having a tiny lack of N so i bumped it up and i upped the bloom nutes too..apart from that she is been really healthy. Im running her by vpd and the temps are 24c 55% rh lights on and 21c 50%rh lights off, i need to buy a bigger tent or get a bigger space

BTW anyone see any signs of not 100% flowering stage cause of light leaks?i ask because im not 200% sure that i dont have any leak.

but, even if the view on the scrog is beautifull, i thought i could manage better the space and i ditch the screen and tied her down and reduced her heigth, also i lowered the lights, tomorrow i will see how she reacts to the hight light levels and decide if i maintain it or i raise them up again

Shout out to Urban Legends, this too are autos in a 6l aeropot with a mix of all mix and light mix, they are 10 days old, my plan is to play with her and start them and let them grow a bit in the cab and put them in my window

So today i bought a pack of 6x sils generic brand from leroy merlin, 12w 1521lm 4k
Comparing the colours from them to philips 4k, i see them a bit more green..the philips ones seem more neutral and pleasent to the eyes
either way they were cheaper than the philips ones so now i have 10x 1521lm sils, i raised the lights to the max and since today was watering day i added bioheaven and bactohemp to the feed in hope for her to cope with the higher light intensity

My autos are healthy, nothing to complain about, they are a bit slow, but the conditions are not the best either but they are just an experiment so i kinda dont care

I've always felt that more lights raised higher is better than fewer lights being closer.
(based on nothing but speculation. lol)


I'm sure that you'll have a great yeild in the end.

120/130w of sils 20cm from her, i dont think she is suffering, but i also dont see a lot of development of the buds, they are a bit bigger everyday but nothing i could really notice right when i open the cab..not a lot of smell really for what people say skunks smell, i dont need to use the filter and the room where the grow is fine

She may packing on trichs without packing on much more noticeable volume.

She may very well be getting heavy with resin, which is hard to see and measure.

I think that from here on in she is just making resin.

My skunk is starting to mature, all of the buds have 10% of brown pistils so maybe 2 weeks more or 2.
from now on all of the waterings will have no feed in them.

Looks good Sampas !!

Does your skunk actually smell like a skunk? or limburger cheese, or dirty feet?

I dont know how to answer you properly cause i dont know how a skunk smells in reality but i can tell you this, i dont have a filter and she dont put out a lot of smell but is more smelly than my blue amnesia.

Before flowering i always feel a pleasing cheesy smell of her, now i feel something freshy on the buds..no cheesy, no fruity and i cant pick it out honestly
