Ok so I am less than a month from finish of my sleestack x skunk#1 freebies from herbies, full out dank , smells like very fruity skunk, plants were very uniform. I dusted one of them with some pollen my friend gave me hope it turns out good.

How can you not finish a grow and then claim it was the worst?

I'm not doubting your cultivation skills but surely you must see your assertion here is strange. "I didn't do it but it was the worst!"
I would never be so bold as to assume what Corso's response to your inquiry would be, and I totally understand why you pose the question. However, in my personal instance I have grown and harvested enough of our beloved plant to be able to tell within a certain time frame whether or not the plant is progressing, or stagnating. Again, in MY particular case these girls are stagnating. By this time in their growth cycle my girls should be showing some sort of progression week to week. This simply is not the case and it is an internal struggle to continue feeding, watering, and illuminating them if they are not going to perform. If I felt comfortable doing so I would stick them in the ground outdoors and let the chips fall where they may, but as an indoor grower it ultimately begins to feel like a waste of time, energy, and resources when the girls don't do what they were naturally created to do ... GROW!!! :peace:

Ordered that strain from MWS and just put her in soil a couple of days ago. Hoping to see her pop through the soil in the next couple of days. Looking forward to your report. I have heard good things about the strain. Can I see her? You can pm me a pic?

Your floor looks like it needs a scrub buddy ;)
So the front left 3 plants in the corner are the freebie afghani seeds about 2 1/2 weeks old I think. Just using organic soil. No nutes. The one in the corner has grown much more aggressively. The rest are clones
Mine were nice and bushy in their youth and looked like all the same strain/genetics. Now they all look like four different strains and 7 weeks into flower they all look as though I just flipped the lights to 12/12 two or three weeks ago.

I hope you have better luck and get a real success story out of yours. I need the pots and space for some other ladies at this point ... I am over it. And don't feel bad dude my floor could use a little rub down too as u can see! LOL!

I think it looks pretty good chic. There will always be better stuff than what we grow and they'll always be worse stuff

Thanks! And its so true what you say about the better and worse stuff we grow. It's all about trying different strains to see what works. These Afghani girls just really frustrate me sometimes! I have a Pineapple Chunk in there with them that will be ready to chop in about 3 weeks so the Afghani girls can hang out in the tent until then. Who knows ... they might blow my mind at the very end! You know our girls are funny sometimes like that. I started four new babies on 3/21 and three of them popped by 3/26. One just popped on the 30th and where the others were all showing signs of their first set of true leaves day 2, this girl still has only cotyledons for four days now unless her first true leaves are hiding DEEP within the crevice of her cotyledons! You ever seen that?

I just checked on her this a.m. and she is still EXACTLY the same. At closer look she doesn't appear to have any true leaves at all waiting to come out! Mutant of some sort perhaps? I just ordered her recently 'cause I heard sleestack was a good frosty strain. Hmmmm. We shalI see. She may jump up outta nowhere and blow the other girls out of the water! LMBO! Much grow love Vino. :leaf:

Got 4 going right now. If the buds are even half decent, I'm keeping this strain as a stable breeder for a male or something. This thing has taken everything I've thrown its way. Even started experimenting with one. They can go easily a week or so without water, maybe more. They can go weeks without ANY nutrients, they can grow in 80+ temps without stunting, and take all the light you throw at them. They also didn't burn once even when I fed a damn seedling 1000ppm nutes. These are monsters. However, I'm willing to bet the bud doesn't turn out to be up to MY standards.... Like I said though, good breeder if you can keep certain traits.

If this is a mutant, LET IT GO! I had a mutant exactly like this once. It grew to look just like a 3 leaf clover, then it didn't grow for 3 weeks! 3 weeks later, it exploded out the top, and produced the best bud I have ever had to this day....
