i've had a fan blowing on them 12 hours a day to try and build up them stems but it hasn't done the job so i should of either used a stronger fan or maybe had it going 24 hours a day ?

This quote is taken from the seed bank's site i bought them from (although i bought them at the shop in Amsterdam)
Flowering is very fast and Skunk #1 produces robust stems and branches to support her superior yields. Short internode gaps explode into dense, rounded flower clusters which merge into huge, heavy terminal buds by the end of the blooming phase. Fan leaves can show many shades of colour at the end of flowering, as plants focus their energy on bud formation and resin production

errr not mine captain..oh well now they are tied up i hope to see a big differance soon..something like this picture would be nice.

No they sprouted and grew for at least a month and a half in my greenhouse before going under the light and fan. .. this is my biggest mistake and the bringer of all my problems (well it will take the blame)!! as soon as it was in there i gave it hell.. very windy .. but 10 plants in a small area dont sway so much so that might have been a factor?

I wish i cud carry on with my next grow in the same grow room implementing the techniques and tips i've picked up but a family matter means i have to go incognito so i'm doing a fridge Scrog next time.

you need to remove some leaves, all shaded bud area need to have the leaves removed around the 30 day mark,the lower leaves are good for nuthing other than taking away enrgy from the whole plant. and since your not using air cooled lites you need to point the fan between plant and the lites to remove heat as it comes off the ites , try to keep temp 72 to 80 only, heat is your enemy. good luk. nice buds . decent grow.:leaf:

I didn't want to remove any leaves that didn't fall or die off as i think they are important to the budding process, but you are right for sure by saying they need light, i only wish i had tied my bud sites up sooner..

The lower stems etc have been removed mostly...



the fan blows across the top of the plants, dispersing air all around my grow room i checked this by blowing out some blunt smoke into my room and watching it swirling around.:bigjoint:

Temps have been great for the last 3 weeks never over 82 and normally around 75..night time is a perfect 65 so can't complain about temps.... but saying that the earlier heat problems i had along with allowing them to stretch for the first 1/3rd of their lives and using inferior nutes has been my downfall.. LEARN BY MY MISTAKES PEOPLE :idea:

Yeah its a scary fucking sum...Well there not bagseeds if i understand what bagseeds are? They cost around £30 and the small risk of getting found bringing them back from Amsterdam last year.

:leaf:.......great grow csd7025! I just spotted this thread for the first time and read the whole thing..... You've done awesome with all that you've come up against and had to figure out.....and I am willing to bet you could write a book for beginners by now! I 'll be real curious to see how this grow comes out in the end and then ask you what you'll do different on your next grow.
Great choice to not remove any of the healthy fan leaves! They do anything but take energy from the plant.........

Good Luck on the finish!

I take that back :roll: The one that seemed allot smaller than the rest has something seriously wrong with it infact its no more.

I admit i have neglected them for the last 2 days but temps were fine and they had water but i didn't keep an eye of them really.

Tonight when i went in it had lost most its leaves and the remainder were shriveled, brittle and dead basically..I don't know about bud rot but the lowers buds were soft and empty feeling making me think it's some kind of rot so i decided to chop it down and get it away from the others.

Its now hanging in a sealed box in my grow room.. Im not sure if it will carry on rotting (if thats what they are doing) or if it will dry and be smokeable?

Still 5 healthyish looking plants left:bigjoint: :roll:
