Figured I better keep my promise and post some pics. I pulled my biggest Super Skiunk out for a photo shoot, and threw in an overview of my perpetual staging process.
That thing will explode ove the next 2 weeks or so. I love Super Skunk. The room's not full yet, I pull em as fast as I put em in. I guess as long as I have 2 buckets to pull every week or so it doesn't matter. Here's my tent, one side at a time.
And my robot light. I know, my reflector sucks. That's one of the reasons I'm ordering a 1000w next week. Plant roids!
Ok, staging. I put 2 buckets into flower every 8 days. That adds up to 64 days of flower max before I need the space. Well, once the room's full. This Jack the Ripper is 5 days into flower, still pretty small.
Here's an OG at 13 days. Not all strains stretch this much, but most of my garden is sativa-dom so most of it does.
This Sour Grape is 23. It just got a pruning. I'm very familiar with the physiology of plants and all thedata on why deleafing is bad, but all my best yields have come from plants I pruned or plants that dropped most of their leaves on their own. Bud site + light equals bud. Bud site - light equals larf for the hash weed pile.
Here's my last GDP. I know Ruiner's gonna yell at me, but this is the slowest vegging plant I've ever seen and it is fucking
candy to mites. My Mountain Bastard pheno#2 is a DANK indica pheno with explosive root growth, and I have Bubba Kush and Northern Lights waiting in the wings. That's enough (too much) indica for me. GDP is also candy when you smoke it. In fact, before I retire my GDP, I'm gonna share this with you guys, cuz you're my folks. I gotta be vague for legal reasons, but the story goes... I'm in music. Don't listen to it, it's horrible stuff. I played an opening spot for 1 stop on the Wu-nited States tour a couple months ago, headlined by Masta Killa and Inspectah Deck. It wasn't in CA, so don't bother trying to track me down.
The show was sick, but the best part was providing Masta Killah with my last 1/8 of GDP for a pre-set blunt. He smelled it, told me I was a "fuckin chemist, man" and gave me a hug. Swear to God, I about crapped my pants. Anyway, that said, here's my last tiny little GDP, at 38 days.
The GDP and Super SKunk at the beginning are my oldest plants right now. They went in as soon as I got my new room, but there was a big gap between those and the preceding batch due to space in the old room. The Super will be done soon, but that GDP has about 4 more weeks to go. I'll keep the pics coming more often, it's just been crazy. Holidays, school, pregnant wife, overly complex garden... excuses, excuses.
