Thx man, No I didnt...cuz ionno if you have ever seen mexi brick shwag but its some nasty shit. I remember getting some shit with orange hairs though so I think thats where skunky girl came from. Just goes to show what happens when you take care of something. Those mexis just plant em and leave em...I dont even wanna think what kind of fertilizers they use lol....
Ya man!!! Im using 2 42 watt warm white @ 2600 lumins each and 1 23 watt warm white @ 1700 lumins for a total of 107 watts and 6900 lumins. Thx for stopping by guys.

Been checking your grow out for a while, I guess I just never post haha. Yeah, I am starting my new setup soon, its gonna be nice to have more space and get some himalayan gold and church. That sucks you been getting mexi only, thats no fun at all.Thanks for stopping by JoeSalmon!! I watched your first white rhino pc grow when you overcame all those problems and got some good smoke at the end. Ya im excited the hairs are starting to turn orange which means its not gonna be a super long sativa. Its at around 36 day flower so prolly around 30 more and it should be done!!. Im going to keep fertilizing for the next 2 weeks then im going to just use water/mollasses to flush. They are going to be sugary sweet buds as ive used mollasses since day 1 of flowerIM SO EXCITED OMG!!! I havnt had good bud since I moved from alaska 3 years ago!! All mexi brick shit here which is nasty.

The coolest newbest idiotic suprise ive ever realized lmao.
I need an answer to a question asap!!! Do you start flowering time from the time you see the first pistils or when it starts budding...like forming an actual bud on top...I have been counting skunky girls flowering time from that (oct 12th) but the first pistils showed up sep 20th...I just realized what I was doing so my plants are actually about 20 days farther into flowering then I thought!!!! So if this is true and its when the first pistils show then my plants are actually about 60 days into flowering!!! instead of the 40 I was thinking. God I cant believe I overlooked this lol. O well its GOOD news...I guess this is why alot of the pistils are turning amber. Which means my girls are almost 9 weeks into flowering....seeing as there most likely a sativa dom strain they prolly still have 2-3 weeks left but thats a far cry from the 5-6 I was thinking. HEHE. I feel like such an idiot.

Well I bought the mini microscope from radioshack today and checked Skunky girls trichs. Its hard to see but I think they are mostly clear. Do cloudy trichs look white? I thought I saw a couple white looking trichs. Definitly no amber though. Im pretty sure they are clear cuz I took a small leaf from fruity tooty and looked at her trichs and they were definitly clear. I think skunky girl has about 2 more weeks to go!! Im going to flush the triplets real good tonight and start skunky girl on just water/mollasses and I will be taking a sample bud next week soem time. Should I be checking trichs daily or every other day or what? Thx guys

Oooh sample buds are never worth it... Let it go to the end and you will be so much more happy.... Or are you taking the sample beuase you have no idea if it is done yuet

By sample buds im talking the little tiny buds on the bottom...where they wont put on more then like .2 grams more bud by the end. And yes I wanna see where the high is at in a week. Thx guys!!! I appresiate the compliments and support. I would say about 25% of the hairs are amber, they started turning amber around a week ago. I can really tell the buds on skunky girl are seriously fattening up!!! Just in this last week they have doubled in size. Its amazing how fast they grow in spurts...first 5-6 weeks flowering is real slow and the last couple weeks are explosive. Ya I know had I had more light they would be more dense buds but I was unable to do so...I know it wouldnt have costed much to add a couple more lights, but its all good. Imma try and pick up a couple Y sockets and a few more 23 watt CFL'S to add to it to flower out fruity tooty and mystery girl. Anyone know they cheapest place to get Y sockets? I can definitly tell they are more airy buds then some other buds ive had, but I also dont think they are done filling out, cuz like I said they are seriously growing. From now till harvest I will be giving skunky girl just Water/mollasses. Mystery girl is one of those LONG flowering sativas...She was put on 12/12 same time as skunky girl and she just showed her first pistils about a week ago...so ya lol gonna be a 16-18 week period b4 shes done. Anyways, heres some pics. Enjoy!! Pic 1 is Skunky girl, Pic 2 is Skunky Girl's main cola(8 inches long) pic 3 is Skunky girls other 2 biggest colas (twin towers) Pic 4 is Fruity tooty.

At most they are two bucks, they are cheap and very effective. I added them in my pc case and got way more lights then I prob should have had. It a little over a square foot I had almost 100 watts of light, haha, heat was fine though

Those CFL's sure do get hot, my cabinet at one time had 12 100 wat equivalents and temps were in the 90's till i got more fans. Then i could only get to like 80......At most they are two bucks, they are cheap and very effective. I added them in my pc case and got way more lights then I prob should have had.

Yeah I had 4, computer fans cranking area. I believe their CFM was in the low 30's so I had 4 of those cranking. 120 cubic feet a minute of air moving through my case. Worked quite well.
Are those the actual 23 watt one your talking about? They can add up after a while, but they can do the job if you use them right. But really if you think about it they dont get that hot. I could easily hold my hand on one, it will heat up and become hot, but if I wanted I could hold my hand there for a bit.

That's true, all it takes is a small desk fan blowing on them to eliminate heat issues! I love CFL's i use them in all areas of growing, seeds,veg and flower. It gives you more light coverage for cheap!!!
