My plants started to flower today. So funny, none of this was going on yesterday.
Nutrients are at 1100. I will do a nute change the second my new pump shows. The first pump I ordered was on back order. So i bought the next one down its only marginally smaller than my bad one. My hydro place put a rush on the new one. It should be here tomorrow. I'm gonna flush then peroxide, then mix a new tank. I opened my res. and something winked at me... It's getting gamey in there. I won't add Silica this time. GH Flora series, with extra pink stuff. A little Calcium, a little Koolbloom liquid, boom done.
For the record the LEDs are a little behind the CMH in the amount of pistils. Now, it's only been a few hours, but it will be very interesting to see which one does better. What a great test. True head to head with the venerable BDs against the CMH. Same everything!!
The plant in the closet is kind of mopey. I took it out and flushed it. I'm using cloth pots and there was some wierd shit growing on the side of the pot. I hope it isn't a pathogen. Maybe flush with peroxide, scrub the outside, then Subculture B and M to help build back some bacteria, and carry on. We'll see.
The tent is doing fine. Plants are locked down and spread out. Looks ok. Not used to looking at a plant and seeing the grow media. In hydro, these fucking things would have to be heavily defoliate by now... then again next week. I dont think i like soil. So, 3 plants guess which one is Lemon Skunk.
Im stoked. Flowers! These plants (Lemon Skunk) finish quickly. Multiple sources actually say dont let it go over 59 days, so wierd to be so exact. I so hope this strain does what I want it to... fuck the yield I want a bud that I smoked in high school.
I used to race BMX and Mountain bikes while in school. I was on my big bike and racing a roommate to a park to get high, (surprised?) one night. I waded myself up in front of someone's house and wasted my collar bone. Long story not quite so long, i was out of school for more than 3 weeks.
At that time there was a lime green skunk bud around with a bitter citrus flavor, and it was cheap! Im sure this is psychosomatic, but sometimes I smoke something like that and my shoulder will ache.... I want my shoulder to hurt for old time sake. This bud is my "best bud story". It was absolutely the best I had ever had at the time. It would hold its own still.
I was asked on another site why I wanted to grow something as pedestrian as Lemon Skunk. I guess it's nostalgia
