there's way better skunk out there then skunk special...the yeild is nice but the taste and high is nothing to brag about....i just grew them out 3 times and it's time to move on....nice grow though bonzo keep it up man!
Howdy T2U, how are ya? Agreed, there are way better skunks out there, ive been smokin' skunks for 25 years so i know the difference between a skunk and a skunk. However for someone with limited time, space and money (cause these beans are very affordable) this is one hell of a product, a lifesaver for some, i mean how many stories have we all read about someone startin' a pack o' beans only to end up with 8 males 1 mutant and 1 that died. So im just thrilled that these are available and i think they will attract alotta people to start growin' there own.
yes bonz even if its not the diesels ar the traonwreck skunks have never let me down in time of need no matter what it be so i have a place for skunk in my garden anyday...
Plants looking great Bonz!!! Gotta read this whole thread asap, gonna do some comparison between nft and dwc very soon and maybe I'll get some new ideas...good growing man!
i'm doing great how bout you? been busy putting out all my outdoor clones so i shut down indoors for awhile but i can get my hands on a bunch of bubblegum clones so i'm debating if i should do my first try at dwc or just stick to soil when i fire back up. has any of your skunk specials hermied on you? my first run was flawless but the last two runs hermied on me so i'm kinda skittish now on them....overall they all germed all grew great and the smoke and taste is average..yield was great so i agree they are really good for the money.......peace
Sleepy dude!!!!! What shakin my brotha? Someone had to ask and im glad you did. One of them is a Pruple Urkle and the other one is a nor-cal "PURPS" first time with both so i dont know how their gonna turn out, fun,fun,fun!!!
thanks for asking, and im tryin' to keep the BORG at bay
By the way i noticed you got some Golden Skush in you garden, wooo hooo man! I think youll like her, i know she will like you!!!
Howdy T2U, Boy the Bubblegum clones sound nice, do you know anything about momma? Depending on how much room you have, you might want to stick with soil if thats what you know best, but if you have a bit of room and enough clones why not do mosly soil and give like 2 or 3 DWC buckets a whirl? Couldnt hurt to try, and it depends on how bad you need these clones to do well, in other words if the dwc does'nt work for ya it wont set ya back much, know what i mean?
And you could allways give my super simple ebb & flow buckets a try. So many options so much fun! Keep me informed on what you decide id like to see it all transpire.
Allmost forgot , no hermies yet on the SS, but this is my first time and i only have one of her. Ya know i was thinkin' the other day what a bad rap any feminised seeds get when a hermie pops up, and then i realized how many regular un-feminised females ive had throw a few nanners, so im sure its bound to happen once in awile. Maybe try a different strain from SS, Mr Wags has done WW, ICE, Ummmm and a few others, im doin the Grapefriut next, she looks and sounds killer killer!
what up? yeah the mom is from serious seeds...big, thick, smelly and sticky buds! I have less room then normal this time so i think i'm gonna stick to soil except run some 5 gal buckets instead of 3 gal, and i think i'm gonna take your advice and give a shot on 1 or 2 dwc buckets then if i fail atleast i'm still guarenteed a harvest off the other soil buckets since i got that down to a science lol, i'm worried about the room temps i think they'll be a tad to high for the dwc but what the hell i'll give it a shot.
i hear ya about the nanners, i can't really point my finger and blame the strain....the first run went excellent with no hermies...the second run got hermies....then the 3rd run i added strawberry cough and kodiack gold and all 3 strains got a few nanners so i think it might have been something in the room if all 3 strains got nanners....it was my buddy's room so i didn't have full control over the situation...everything still ended up great just had to deal with a few seeds.
let me know if you got any pointers for me on dwc and what i need and what to look out for...thanks
Mornin t2u, wow bro the Chronic sounds great, and i think you have the right idea by stickin' to soil and givin' 1 DWC unit a try. I have never done dwc but this thread by Dr D covers all youll need to know about it:
Well while I was at the hydro store..we got to talking about salt leaches and finishing products..he said Doc's may be going out of business..
that flavor enhancer isn't even in his current catalog..so I don't know..he was saying he gets all kinds of products with claims sent to him..
so he gave me the rest of his samples called "Quality Cure" from supernaturalbrand com..I didn't see it there..but some hydro stores have it..it's for hydro only..used the last 12hrs before harvest..it's suppose to dry the plant of water..so it dries quick, reducing hang time, something about oils, with better fragrance and on..
If I get something hydro going..I might try a side by side to see if it works..
Farmer John! Im so sorry for not responding to your post Thanks man comin from you thats a real compliment. Gonna try some nft or dwc eh? Ive never tried either one of those, do you grow in soil at the moment? Thats the most beautifull C99 ive ever seen (poty)! How did she smoke? Thanks for comin' by bro and dont be a stranger!
Woops snuck in there pacn' how are ya bro? The "Quality Cure" sounds interesting, sucks the water out eh? Faster drying time? As long as it doe'snt get crunchy on ya. I think i saw somewhere that AN makes a product that you leave in for like the last 5 hours or the whole last day im not sure. I know that with Flora Kleen i just leave it in for like the last 1/2 hour, bit ill double check that.
Check back later bro Skunk Special and TW may be comin down tonite! Defenitely a couple days trimmin' cause im lazy!
Sleepy dude! Those are some awesome lookin GSs broham! Woooo Hoooooo for the GS! Its good shit mang.
Well since my last update i have started harvesting the 2 big girls , TrainWreck that i got from a club so who knows what it actually is , doesnt really matter to me she was big and sticky is all i know. So my plan was to cut her loose and bring her out for a couple whole plant pics, well needless to say when i cut her loose she fell apart under her own weight, i dont recomend trying this at home, it was alittle nerve racking as you all know sitcky buds pick up any cat hair or whatever else happens to be on the floor at that point in time. i managed to keep most of her off the floor but it was tough: back in a sec with pics.... duh
Ok , pics uploaded TW falling over, sorta imploding, it was a trip:
i decided to just leave the Skunk Special and cut branches off to trim on or a bunch at a time all though i never had to tie her up all so far shes yielding pretty well and less "fluff" than the TW, time for some bubble bags!
GS just startin to flower, shes a funny plant in that she doe'snt really stretch at all,
TW, fun with photoshop, super bag appeal and real life:
Strange reveggin' OGRE mom, gonna yall think i should run next, or start from seed:
Im still battling bugs but i'll brig that up later.
They all look super, as always, but...
That's a big floppin TW!!!!!!
I haven't tried letting tw go big bushy style like that, hmmm - looking real good. Gonna havta register at Bonzo's Flowering Intensive class... How many days flower on the wreck???
Damn Bro... that sure is a mess of wreck. You're sure in for a smokin good time. Sooooo... have you determined if this is the real deal TW... errrrrr what? Whatever it is... it sure looks yummy. I'm going to have to learn to grow GonzoBonzo Bud too!
