Here are some better pictures of the colorfull blue skunk. Day 36
grownz -I usually top my plants once. I had been taking these around 60 days, but they seem to be ripening a little faster this time around. I do have all my CO2 equipment cranking so that could be why.
Awesome stuff, Pico. Truly admire your passion at growing "Miss Mary". You're doing her proud. You stand out as one of the more versatile here. My hat goes off to you. My question is whose Blue Skunk are you growing? I'm definitely interested in trying that strain.
I can't take credit for the blue skunk strain, but it is just a cross from a home grower. I started some seeds and happened to get a very good plant. I have been giving it out to friends along the west coast. Probably less then 5 gardens growing it total. Smells amazing.
I wish I knew more about the Blue Skunk. About 6 years ago I was part of the online Seed Swap Club. I think there was around 100 members or so that traded home made seeds. There was a middleman in Canada and the whole system worked very smoothly for me. At that point I was just finishing my first personal grow. I was growing a trainwreck cross that I started from seed. My plants had hermied and I had a shitload of seeds. I ended up trading with around 25 or 30 members for different home made seeds. I still have about 5 packs kicking around here somewhere.
I grew out a lot of seeds and the only thing that has been kept alive all these years is the Blue Skunk. She has been through a lot. There was about 5 phenotypes that I flowered out from seed. Some were more skunky and the pheno I kept was more on the blue end. I would like to do a side project one of these days to try and make some decent seeds with these girls. Breeding is something I don't know much about but I want to start learning.
Alright, sorry to keep everyone waiting. I didn't realize it had been almost 2 weeks since an update. You ca probably tell from the photos that I overferted, notice the tip burn. I was slacking and not getting enough runoff when watering. Had a little buildup. No worries it isn't going to kill them. I have been giving them Liquid Karma, Hygrozyme, and a touch of AN Carboload because I was given some samples.
Nice story....wish I had the luck of coming across something like that! The blue appears to be a mostly indica girl too....Very nice. How long till harvest? How many days does the blue usually go?
Damn nice(feel a little stoned after looking at those girls)!!! Loving the Widow especially(have a couple of them going myself). My hats off to you. You have given me some great ideas this grow. Can't wait to see how it all comes out .
