My first grow skunk clone

Right now she's approximately a foot tall looking healthy only concern Is red streaks in some of the old stems and lower stalk. I've been adding bat guano high in N when watering so maybe a phosphorus deficiency? The lights are fluorescent 6800k natural daylight bulbs just moved her into a 14" square pot to maximize root growth the soil I used is cactus and citrus fruit soil from Walmart when I check the Ph it shows 7.5 maybe too high? Anyway looking for any useful tips!

ph is a lil high. Some strains stems turn red. if the rest of the plant looks healthy, which they do, you should be ok. Are you using any full range nutes with NP and K. Also you could trim the bottom couple little branches. They won't really amount to anything and take energy from the plant

I haven't used the full range yet other than the nutes that were in the soil I have 10-10-10 liquid fertilizer but i have been holding off on it and just using the guano which is 10-0-0. And thanks I'll trim them today I topped her a couple days ago and new shoots came out fast

go ahead and start your 10 10 10 at half strength just to be safe. Im sure she's big enough to take full strength but doesn't hurt to start slow. Do you have a ph tester? For soil or water? Adding nutes should drop the ph into a good range

Yea I have a soil Ph tester that shows moisture and light intensity also. I don't have one for water yet but I let my water sit for a day or two before adding to the soil

cool, you just need one or the other. Add those nutes until a little drains out the bottom keep an eye on the ph to get it a little under 7. if its still a little high and u don't have a ph down, a couple drops of lemon juice will do the trick. The organic ph down they sell in the store is just citric acid anyway

Alright thanks man I appreciate the info!

you plan on bloomin that or mothering it

Probably just gonna bloom it. I have some kush seeds to grow next

So should I just stop giving her the guano and switch to the liquid nute? The pics are from today and hour after lights on

hard to say. I'd try first going with the other one and if that turns out well then give it a little guano. When do you plan on switching to flower, remember that the plant will double in size when switched

I was gonna wait maybe another week or two unless I should start sooner I didn't realize it would double in size though lol

You can start it whenever you like as long as you have enough room for it to do its thing, if you're using HIDs then you need to account for another foot or two of space between the light and the plant. And they're def ready to get some nutes. looks good otherwise

hey brah, i was thinking. If you are only doing one plant you should make it a big one. Look into LSTing or low stress training. basically it is tying her down so the lower branches get more light and become big colas themselves. I remember you saying you topped it so thats a start. Kind of high stress training if you will. but if you pull back the branches and tie it down you'll greatly increase your yield. Check out the link. And how bout hooking a brother up with some rep.

Right on man! I haven't been on in a few days I'll definitely check it out I'll update some pics later tonight

And I'm using fluorescents and have 8 feet of space available in height so I could let her get huge

two days after adding full range nutrients (24-8-16). Let me know what you think!

definately liked the strength of the nutes. You can bump it up a little next time. I would water once or twice between feedings. Depends how quickly your soil dries. Looking good though. keep an eye on the new growth. looks a little pale green. If its not quickly turning dark green like the rest you can maybe give her a little of that guano.

I only used half the dose suggested and didnt notice any burnt tips so ill def add a little more next time I'm gonna water her with some guano tomorrow that video was cool 3x the yield is worth doing for sure especially with only one plant as of now she's growing fairly quick too standing at 14 inches now
