Here's what I found before I bought the seeds. 20/20 sprouting ratio, 10 males, and 10 females. 3 of the 10 are the "tall" pheno. The pic below is of the 3 tall pheno plants and 2 regular pheno plants. Barely any smell, 16 days into flowering, 28 days veg, the 3 tall plants were pinched once. Pic's from now on....going to day 65.
Enjoy........IMGP0094.jpg

Here's what I meant to post to help those unfamiliar with the strain or breeder:

Cantaloupe Skunk
(Afghan x (Acapulco Gold x Columbian Gold)

Indoor / greenhouse / outdoor
Background: Cantaloupe Skunk is a rare pheno of Mendocino Joe's Skunk. One of the first Skunks bred in the late 70's in Southern California, by Sacred Seeds. The only low odour pheno we've ever found in this strain.
True old school weed!

The ISP spent 32 years, locking her down. Both pheno's of her are very resinous, low odour, and similar high types. She is easy to grow indoors and outdoors, either single cola style, or topped and grown as a shorter, wider bush.
Sativa dominant, with a very social / feel good vibe. Great for a day at the beach, the lake, a walk in the park, or any type of social gathering. A solid 8 on anyone's potency scale. Enjoyable, intense, but not overpowering. She just brightens your day, all the way around.
Indoors: veg 30 days (min) / 45 days is optimal, clones require a veg of 10 days (min) / Flowering time 58 - 65 days / Indoor Height: 3' to 3.75 ' / Indoor yield: 2.5 to 3.5 oz per plant (min).
Good air exchange and low humidity (less than 55 %) in flowering are a plus. For pest and/or disease control, she tolerates neem oil very well.
Outdoors: finishes in late Sept. / Height: 4.5' to 6' / Outdoor yield 7 oz to 10 oz per plant (min).
Phenotypes (2)
Approximately 3 in 10, will turn shades of purple late in flower, regardless of temperature. This applies to both pheno types.

Pheno # 1: looks like classic Skunk # 1. It's cola is thick and comes to a spear point at the top. This pheno shows up 70 % of the time.
Pheno # 2: grows slightly taller, the top of it's cola dreads like it's been heavily seeded. This one shows up 30 % of the time.
Stretch: 3/4 to 1 1/4 (moderate stretch) / Resin Profile: High Resin / Odour Description & Flavor Description: a hint of Ripe Cantaloupe / Odour Intensity: Very Low Odour / High Type: Relaxing, Social, Medicinal (for Depression) .

Nice pics, I love ISP's strains. I've done this one a few times now, and I like the low odor, because I'm in a apartment. In flower they get sweet smelling, and depending on how you feed them, the odor level can jump. I often find myself sitting there like some kind of glue sniffer or something, taking in deep breaths and trying to pin down the exact odors. The high on this one is really cool IMHO, I can smoke it, do stuff, and remember what I'm doing. Very clear, relaxing and motivating at the same time.

Hi Pony......thanks for popping in. I've lost the ability to download pic's here at RIU since the changes so I'm posting over here now on this strain:

Since you've grown it, I'd really like you to come by and comment. I believe one of the posters in the thread is the breeder or with Insane Seed Posse- so he really understands the different pheno's, etc. You may have to register to see the pic's (actually I not sure about that but it's a newer site that's no-nonsense and some good, interesting people) but it's quick and easy.

You can see some pic's and my regular updates, along with some research I'm doing on the strain. I am at day 47 in flowering, things are coming along nicely. I agree, low odor in veg but they are pretty stinky right now- a kind of "old-school" skunk- not road-kill mind you, but still a deep funk, rich and full-bodied but not sweet/fruity/spicey/ or anything you normally see around today. It reminds me of LambsBread (or LambsBreath, depending on who u talk to), which I did a few crops ago. They are getting a solid dose of fertilizer every watering but seem to be handling it very well.

Popped 6 of of ten. 5 were female
Ended with 4 because i accidentally dropped one while carrying it the container broke ants i tried to save it but it was eventually trashed. The 4 gave around 5 oz dry a piece. Not sure about low odour. They did not stink until last 30 days

Love these guys
