well let me say that hydroponic herb, unstressed, with major gas and a dialed feeding program can cut up to 2 weeks easy with vitrtually all strains. i manipulate the plants too at onset and finishing to really shockem into submission.
ive taken the bc/pk (dr clone cut) that is recommended 9-10 weeks, which is very possible, in 49 days in nft and krusty buckets. ive taken karmas jack down (indy pheno) done in 8 weeks.
il tell you what, i run everything 60-66 days subject to enviromental conditions. il start a journal in september and we'll see. hi hopes you can say for me.
hey if i flower here at 2.5 feet, think shed make it it 6 under optimal conditions? in dirt that is, thanks, d

The 95 day ones were flowered at 8 inches in 5 gallon pots and grew to 3 1/2 feet and 3 oz. each. Peace GS

we shall see, I s'pose
she is very manageable. In terms of training, I always let her grow to about a foot untouched or perhaps a single supercrop pinch on the meristem about 2 nodes down from the apical, and then tie it down. Within a week the lower branches have beefed up considerably and overtake the still-restrained top. (they will finish about 5 feet tall with a 2 week veg running in 3 gallons of pure coco, for contextual purposes).
At that point you can train additionally to your liking or flower immediately. 2-3x stretch is still to be expected; closer to 2 if you have the main meristem tied down as I described. Keep it tied down till you think the stretch has died down, about 2 weeks in and you can cut it loose if you like. Mine tend to retain an 'L' shape along the main stem even after releasing the bonds.

crazy. ive just grown iss, and huge stretch for first 3-4 weeks subject to growth stunter applications. so its a text book haze pretty much? sparse leaf and bud sites, perfect lateral branching, like a christams tree or pine cone if not topped? i grow pretty much 1 plant a light give or take. d
I top all my plants out starting at the 4th or 5th node and then top those out later into at least 4 main vertical tips and it really makes life easier. When I had the SS clone years back it responded very well to topping & training and pretty much every top growth tip turned into a nice big long cola and I think it increased yield overall. 
I would also say the Sweet Skunk is much more chunky than a "haze" it's got alot of SPG in it.

Of course it is similiar because the ISS is a half knock from the original Sweet Skunk which I guess is okay if you are into that sort of thing and don't have other options.
you mean kinda like the swt#3 and swt#4 is okay if you don't have the option of the SPG clone ?
except ISS is way way more stable than Swt not to mention the ISS is almost twice as potent

I think Swt #3 and Swt #4 are better than the SPG bud alone because the high is much different with the added BB in it so no that is definitely not the same whatsoever but good try at making a snarky little innocent remark! I can make a call and have the SPG clone anytime I want it, I can have any strain I want actually it's not that hard around here.
Twice as potent? ISS stable? You clearly have no idea what you are talking about and last I checked this thread is about the Sweet Skunk clone so maybe you are confusing yourself with strains here and while I realize my love for the Sweet Tooth is somewhat of a hot topic for debate you could really save yourself some embarassment by stopping while you are ahead, it could be that ISS clouding your obviously impaired judgement!

Hey friends
anyone of you know the strain Medicine, ISS x Romulan ... what can I say about her?
Here is the description of strain
Fast growing and strong F1 hybrid. The Sativa dominant growth structure makes it quick to stretch. It Has strong aroma and deep flavor. Great choice for medical growers, very potent with high THC. Two of Canada's most potent strains in one seed!
Indoor Flowering: 60 days Outdoor: Oct.20
Genetics: Romulan, Island Sweet Skunk
Structure: Large, medium branchy
Thank friends

El Maco, I have not grown that strain but it will be a multi, multi hybrid. Meaning you will need to search through many seeds to find an ideal mother. You may find something.
Again if you looking for seeds, Chimeras Sweetest Sativa and Spice of Life Seeds Sweetblue, are your best bets.
They are both Dj Short select male pollen, and the original Sweetskunk clone.
They were breed by the original breeders, using the best parents, not just two parents like most other breeders.
DMT............the yeild from Sweetskunk is huge if grown properly. Check your PM for some advice.
Solarz...........I would recommend the Sweetblue and F2 them. The gems you will find in the F2s will be world class!
Peace odd
I like Sweetskunk harvested at 77days. But GS's 95 day Sweetskunk is the bomb!

They might have actually backcrossed back to the SS clone to create their ISS - and something more stable.

Ya the Rom cross is "said" to be an 8 generation backcross, if we are to believe what they write. Peace GS
Our I.S.S. cut is a huge yielder, but as you know genes vary. Some are better than others....ours is amazing.
Two ISS by Federation
Two ISS by Federation
I was recently gifted a pack of ISS by Federation by a friend from the board who is trying to help me out with medicine for my son. Just took 'em down ...the first came in mid-December at 75 days of 12/12. The second came down at about 90 days of 12/12. But more about her in the next post. Unfortunately, the pictures don't quite do either of 'em justice. They were each exquisite...here's a couple of shots from ISS I.
I concur regarding the scents. Beautiful citrus with a deep throb of funk somewhere in the wings. The taste while vaping is sublime - again citrus. And she is really REALLY strong. Whew! Still getting to know her and she ain't done curing so I'm giving her some space.

ISS 2
Now this one here's a horse of a different color. She was popped at the same time as the first one but for a good portion of her earthly existence, I didn't think that she was amounting to much except for wispy buds. And then...and then...boom! Overdrive. Like pedal all the way down on the medal. She started flowering and stretching and flowering and flowering and flowering. Flowered up the leaf stems. She ended up the largest and most productive plant I have ever experienced in my time with this Great Art. She just wouldn't stop - when her sister ISS was ready to come down at 75 days she was still exploding with white pistils. Didn't show any signs of three weeks of flush at the end. On day 90, there were a sufficiency of withered pistils and the myriad trichs were predominantly milky - the way I like 'em. There were no ambers that I saw, however. So...down she came. Here's some pics from the harvest...the twin colas were each about three feet (plus) of solid flower. However, her many side branches are also packing a bunch of beef on the hoof. Hope you enjoy! And THANKS, my friend...this plant is jaw-dropping and astounding. I'm in awe.

Wow! Great to see you posting up some flowers again mayan. Always love your descriptions and this one is no exception. 
There seems to be quite a lot of height variation between the two. Quite distinct expressions. I'm just wondering how the 90 day plant would of looked given another 2/3 weeks.
Also wondering what federation crossed with the SS cut to come up with this seed line. Seems like they did a good job.
Glad these popped for you. I can remember someone saying that the last Federation ISS batch were getting to the point where the seeds weren't viable any more. Your fingers are proving as green as ever..
Good meds all round.. Bravo..

Thanks so much, Kalbhairav...I thought you would enjoy the photos. Actually, height wise, they were about the same. Probably approaching 6 or so feet from floor to ceiling. However, the two phenos were very different in growth pattern, leaf structure, production, and bud expression. They do share the citric terpenes. I can't hazard whether the "highs" are different - don't know 'em well enough. The first one was a beaut -even if the photos don't show it. Her buds are huge and myriad. But the second one - ah! the second one. Phew! It was cool to see the flowering occur on the leaf stems - I've read about it but don't think I have seen it - at least that I remember.
And - yes- all things being equal, I would have liked to have taken her a bit farther but the real estate in my little closet is very expensive and I had some new comers that needed to move uptown. I am happy that the trichs were cloudy and that there were almost no clear or amber. I did pop a third ISS seed that was also a female. I have been keeping it in suspended animation but I am sorely tempted to crank up a clone and see what she can do. So many strains, so few of me!
