Both look good after getting stretched.

This one will probably pop pistils in a day or so. It's got that fresh-green look around the tops.

Everything got fed or watered today, but that won't happen again until the year 2030... Having different size pots screws up a schedule :)
Little skunk on the right is showing lower pistils now, and the tops look to pop open today or tomorrow. There are no lower sprouts. All growth should be buds?

Seeing how the NL seedling is doing is really helping plant for the next 4 to get re-potted. I initially just had her against the wall, and there was still enough light that she didn't stretch towards it and need rotating.

Since I can easily fit 4 2 gallon pots in there as is (with the 5 and 3 gal.), that should give me another few weeks for the big-pot clone - which means that I can give her another fan-leaf pruning, maybe ditch a few more shoots.

And I am getting the NL ready for open air.

Welcome! I got tired of the title of my page being from a grow that already harvested. Didn't know if I would stay here that long - I've tried other weed-chat sites...

My equipment:
Soil
⦁ Fox Farms Happy Frog and Fox Farms Lucky Dog 50/50 mix
Lighting:
⦁ HLG 260v2 XW in veg room
⦁ HLG 135v2 x 2 in flower room
⦁ HLG 65v2 (non-dimmable) in seed/clone tent
Ventillation
⦁ AC-Infinity Cloudline T6 in flower and veg
⦁ P.O.S. vivosun 4" fan in tent
⦁ small desktop oscillating fans

I plan to keep the signature block updated with what I am currently growing; and always welcome questions, comments, suggestions, messages, etc.

If I support a specific product, it is because I use it. If I give advice it is an opinion.

And if you are wondering if the moniker means what you think it means, I am retired and stay H.A.F. ;)

Here's where I grow. The closet is done. The 'nook' to the right has more space, but needs work to gain height.

My old page was https://www.rollitup.org/t/superskunk-manifold.982650/, and I'll get plant updates started in here from now on.
If I can't get my hands on any of dankwolf so skunk project gear from icmag I may try to find a heavy skunky afghani driven culitvar despite the naysayers trying to convince me that pungent skunk varietals don't exist.....I'm willing to bet after all my experiance that they had and can be hopefully brought back. Tons of great oppurtunies there, I'm worried greedy hands are at play and don't wanna share. I may be wrong, but selfish greedy people have done worse for less!
I can't wait to se how well you do!

I don't have the patience for all that, I just wanna pump out 3-4 big ladies every 4 months without delays from bending and stuff, but your obviously good at it, ESP if this is your first try
If I went by harvests this is bout my 8th grow. Getting better every time.
Now that I get the process, I come up with my own plans and just do them. The 3 clones I have are just for playing with. Seeds I give TLC. I am leaning towards the small pot quick flip grow myself, just to get more varieties on hand. I still have 10 seeds to burn before I can justify buying any more LOL 7 Superskunk and 3 GDP. I think my issue with the previous harvests is that I get impatient. Now that I have a stash and can go long, I want to see if either the quick-flip or the long veg flower-clones get that aroma.

Did my last major pre-flip pruning on this one. I think I have selected the shoots I want to flower, but may have to thin it again after flip. When I crumpled up the trimmings there was a sharp diesel smell :weed:

Here was the method to my madness. On each limb I snipped any shoots popping up on the inside, and most of those had big fan leaves shading, so -gone (purple arrow)
Any that had shoots on the outside (red arrow) were snipped. I left the fan leaf if it wasn't shaded.
And the yellow arrow shoots were side-to-side and looking strong, so I got rid of their fan leaves because they were shading the stuff to the side.
Those shoots may go later, but you can't put them back :)

I hate how impatient a 8 week apical flower can make me become! Lol man oh man.....pretty good lineup to play with......lets see how things go. I will be grabbing a good flowering cmh in the near future ....hopefully this helps. I wonder why the plant feels the need to throw out so much "sucker foliage" I remember picking tobacco as a youth we wou,d go out and pick sucker leaves all day! I don't smoke .....prob because I had tobacco oil up to my armpits from the age of 12-19 every summer!

Every sucker is a potential flower, just depends on when you flip, where it is located, and if it will produce.
Smoked tobacco for 30 years, and vaping got me off that. Still smoke the wacky-tabacky because I just love it. I do edibles, as well, and have tried vaping the herb, but good vape machines are $$$ and the cheap ones are a pain in the ass and don't last. It's next on my list though, now that I have all the lights and ventilation I need to buy.

Good genetics, and proper feeding :)
Last grow from seed, once I did the manifold and she started growing again I would prune leaves or shoots every 3 days when I watered - in veg. It's like doing Bonsai, where you can shape it to what you want. What I am doing now is leaving all that space in the middle open, so when the "ring" of flowers gets crowded I can pull some in and pull others out. Should end up looking like a scrog.

A few that are smaller and are not popping back as well I untied. Let them stretch themselves into the middle.

One other thing I look for on a sprout that I might keep (besides location) is the stem. If it gets fat, so will the bud. If it stays skinny after a week or so, the bud will be larf. Period.
