Hi C.I. Your gilrs are looking lovely. I am enjoying all the participation from all the other lemon skunk growers posting on here as well.
It looks like dubbz0r has close to the same lemon skunk strain i have that is bear clawing, looks like a sativa dominant for sure. His leaves look just like mine but arent bear clawing like mine.WOnderful girls DubbzOr!
Thanks for posting the information on the genetics of the lemon skunk. Take CAre C.I!
Thank you, I've got good news to throw in, but I'll put that down further.
I love having other L.Skunk feedback, makes it a great comparison.
Yea you guys have a Sativa dominant, the only question left is what is yield like? We'll see soon now huh?
No problem, it was fun to dig out.
After looking at your pics your LS plant is doing the same thing mine is lol All four of mine are definitely bear clawing. I'm not exactly sure why they're clawing but if I had to guess it would be heat stress. The reason for my guess is that my lemon skunk ladies were not getting heavy nutes at the time the clawing happened. They were getting 1/2 strength nutes, maybe less, however, the day my duct work ripped open and my room shot up to 95F is the day they started. After that day they didn't seem to do much but stretch for the next two weeks under the hps 12/12 cycle. At first I thought it was an over watering issue so I gave them a good 6 days to dry out. I flushed them really good and gave them a 1/2 strength nute solution. Since then they have started to come back around and show some new growth. None of the already clawed leaves show any signs of straightening themselves out but they do look 'better'. I wish you the best of luck! If your ladies smell anything like mine then I know we'll have some good smoke soon!
Nice to have people solving eachothers Lemon Skunk issues, this could turn out to be a nice Lemon Skunk compilation/growth study.
Guess what folks?
Day 24 Vegetative; Xena!
Yesterday I decided to transplant Xena, turns out it was a little early for my standards, but the fact that she was just reaching her limits does mean I got her in the nick of time. So she should be focusing on root growth for the next week or so while my bagseed finishes up, and then she gets all the attention to herself!
I put her in a large Clay Pot, so she outgrew the little setup I had her in.
I decided to put her in Last Resort Sunlight Camp because I simply had no other room/lights, but I hesitated @ leaving her under 10 minutes of direct sun a day, when she goes into bloom in a week and a half.
I figured this is the worst time to slow her down. So I dug out my 80w Fluoro Tube lamp, I never use it unless I have enough plants to fit under the entire length. I don't like wasting light.
I think it's a T12, either way the bulbs are friggin' massive. I don't know much about the bulb, I think the bulbs are around 4100k ish area.
I could care less, it's better to have 24 hours of Fluoro light, than 10 minutes of direct sunlight a day.
So Last Resort Sunlight Camp has become Last Resort Tube Camp!
I've got a fan nearby, so I put the plants so close to the bulb that some leaves touch it.
But it doesn't even get hot enough to burn them. It's awesome.
I'll shoot a picture later tonight when I update my other journal as well.
Day 3 Vegetative; Kayla!
The clone that I took in the beginning of the journal has rooted, and graduated from Clone Camp, to Last Resort Tube Camp!
She has been dubbed, Kayla.
She will be the first of a Bonsai series I will be running.
Since I can't get a 150w until I move out most likely, I will be doing a 2 plant setup, for little Bonsai Buds.
I will run them in basically the same shape as Xena, but much, much smaller.
I have a very small clone that looks like it's recovering. It came from someone who didn't know what they were doing. It's leaves were yellow because all it had is HPS light, and flower nutrients.
Nirvana White Widow, Tall Skinny Pheno.
If it recovers, I will do a perpetual Bonsai with Lemon Skunk/White Widow.
Aiming for around 6"-8" tall max.
If I like the smoke from my bagseed plant, I could do a triple rotation, but who knows.
For now, Kayla will be LST'd into a super dense bonsai bush, and I won't have to clone her until a couple weeks before I chop Xena.
Sorry about the speech, I'm pretty happy with how things are working out.
Pictures later, sorry.
Thanks for the read though if you made it this far
I might put the pictures up tonight, if not, then tomorrow morning.
Just exhausted and stressed.
Camera was giving me trouble, so I'll have to do more shooting either tomorrow morning or tomorrow night.
I got pictures for this journal though, all but a close up on Kayla.
Just moved a bunch of stuff around, spent an hour and a half moving CFL's to fit around my big bagseed.
No more 3' plants, ever.
At least she's only got a week or two.
