Skunk #1 grown in Allmix with Biobizz, Grow, Bloom, Topmax, Bioheaven, Algamic and Fishmix.
1000w aircooled lights...Metal Halide until 14days into 12/12, then HPS.
About 10 days left to harvest
And some say freebies aren't worth the time to grow them because they can't find a strain guide. Bull*$#^
Very nice.
Enjoy the fruity up high you will get.
Peace!
Thanks buds,
ironic really, sent off to Gypsy for some BOG seeds and got a few packets of freebies, gave 3 away and kept 1 pkt of Skunk #1.
Managed to screw up germing and growing the BOG, so started off the 5 skunk freebies. 2 popped, 1 female and this is the result.
Clones really easily, great flower to leaf ratio.
Fed as per biobizz chart for the first 6 weeks and she didn't blink, although that's been reduced a bit over the past few weeks.
I like the biobizz range, although I haven't tried anything else since changing from hydro just over 12 months ago, and with results like this how can I complain.
Organic too.
I think it's just down to getting to know the system your using and the strain. This is the 2nd time I've grown out these from clones and it was easier than last time and the buds are twice as big cos I knew what was coming and was ready for it.
I'm going to do these again next time cos they're just too good, but I've got 2 nice looking Mr Nice 'Shit' fems, I'll put 2 clones off each in the G/R next time and clone off the best one.
Like I said they were freebies turbo m8, with nothing on the packet other than Skunk #1.
Several people have commented that they look like the Seedsmans Skunk #1.
The picture on his website would seem to back that up as they look very similar (even down to the stake). :yoinks
What about the taste and smoke report on your pheno? Good head or what? Either way looks tasty as anythings :
It's a nice hashy tasting 'daytime smoke', more flowery than berries.
In the Volcano it tastes like chewing a bit of hash.
Initially I was a bit disappointed with the last harvest, only 2.5 oz/plant, nice smoke but not too strong and no flavour to speak of.
Hung for a week, then into storage boxes for a few weeks to cure and by the 4th week the magic started to happen. everyone who had a smoke loved it.
I was very happy in the end, but conscious that that I hadn't nailed it.
It's now a good hit, nice high, puts you in the right place.
This crop looks much more developed than last time so I'm hoping for more of everything, weight, taste, strength, hit, high, etc.
A small lower branch got knocked off at 7 weeks with a couple of nice nugs on it, dried out it smoked alright.
I will post a more detailed smoke report on this one, get a few other opinions from friends.
Here we are at 8 weeks, hoping to go another week.
Just going to take it one day at a time, .....must get the microscope out tomorrow and check the trics.
The R/H has been low all the time in flower, there is a dehumidifier in the G/R for lights-out, but I can't help worrying about bud-rot a bit esp. the top colas.
How do those thin branches feed those big buds?
I tried feeding some extra grow this time to encourage thicker stems and branches, no difference really. Although not topping them deff. made them a bit stronger than last time.
nice freebies duder.. make sure to take some pictures of those cola's your showing all dried up ^.^ i've gotta get my fill of porn and i want you to satisfy me!! lol.. i'm impressed with the size of those things!! good job!
