SHIVA SKUNK (By Cannabis Professionals)

Yup, I start off by tying down the main stalk so the plant is completely horizontal. As the sidebraching starts to grow up towards the light, I selectively tie down the sidebranching to create an even canopy under 2 feet tall.

 

23 days into 12/12.......

 

Beautiful indeed. These are your shiva skunks, right? Incredible, the density of the crystals.b1

 

looking awesome man...do you ever un tie the main stalk?

 

^^^^^No, I leave the main stalk tied throughout the whole grow. I just untied the side branching on the bigger girl, the Skunk #1 pheno. I will untie the side branching on the other girl in 2 more weeks.

 

Exactly 4 weeks into flowering. 4 more weeks until harvest. They are COVERED in resin already...:

 

A few more at a better angle. As you can see, the colas are pretty dense for only 4 weeks into flowering. Remember, I am only using 375 watts of flowering light, so I'm not doing too bad...at least in my opinion....:

 

Loking REAL good GS. Just put my two sugarshacks into 12/12 can't wait 'till they begin showing some of the stuff you've already got. Just posted the pics in the SugarShack thread yesterday. Say, try to change the white balance setting on your camera to 'incandescent' to get more green contrasting the yellow. Do you use software to manipulate your photos? (that's aother way to do it, like after the fact). Like Adobe PhotoShop or something like that. Keep us posted. b1
One more GS, at what age did you start the side branch and main shoot tying? I have six more, 2 ea of 3 varieties which are 22 days old>>see them in this pic!! b1

 

GS ... your a stud! I love your grows!

 

Here's a few resin shots...:

 

Making us jealous, right?! Got that color balanced beautifully. How many days after you start 12/12 would you expect to see the beginning of all that resin etc.?
Have been posting some questions about fertilizing and don't seem to get any replies, and also not on this tying question I posted in my comment to your previous pics. Questions too stupid??b1

 

GS ..im curious if you hash those resin leafs or ?

 

B1v...:The question is not stupid, it's just that it's been answered sooooo many times throughout my grow report. I was kinda' hoping you'd look through the pages and find the answer.

Resin starts to build at different times for different strains. Around the 3rd-4th week is when most strains show it most visably.


Mud Hunter...:

I will most likely make some real strong cannabutter because I am too lazy to make bubble hash. The leaves are going to be real resin thick, so I may get off my ass and make some hash, it will be good.

Oops....soory about the BIG letters. The browines I make from these clippings will put people in a coma, hahahaha!!!!

 

The stupid part refers to my wanting to find out about fertilizing. I have grown those sugarshacks sofar in just plain good soil rich in organic matter. and then I see your rich resin and wonder if mine need ferts to begin doing the same. Impatience and lack of experience, that's me. So I wondered when I changed them to 12/12 a few days ago if I should also begin to support this phase of the growth with regular nutrient addition to the watering. Mind commenting on that? b1

 

I was referring to your nute question, that's why I separated the new paragraph.



You should have started to give them vegging ferts at around the 3rd week of veg. Start giving them veg ferts now and let them veg for a full 6 weeks. You will be happier at harvest time. Yes, give them BLOOMING nutes when you put them into flower. These are very basic and beginner things that you need to know. Please do some research and you will find that your grows will be muhc happier.

 

Just read thru your entire thread and see how many answers to sooooo many questions I missed. And I will follow the LST with a little more experience to be brought to bear on the 5 little ones. Thanks for the fert enlightenment. It is hard to apply everyone's advice all to the same subject and thought to apply the minimalist thinking by not supplementing at all. Will give them the best that's out there and am going to order FF "Grow Big" and "Tiger Bloom" today! b1

 

agree'd b1! Guy is certainly a fountain of great growing information..

Thanks GS!

I love you all !! Each and everyone of you!

 

Glad I could be of help....Good luck. If you can't find any answers to some of your questions, just ask...after you have searched.

 

hey guysmiley those plants of yours rock.
my plants are 2 days old. how long will it take the plants to pop out of the dirt. should i put a plastic film over the contaner to creat some moisture. once the plants r a few weeks into veg growth can they be transferd to hydro system. or would it would be better to just let them grow in the dirt they r in now. when to put the veg fert in the dirt. and how do u put the fert in the dirt.how much fert do put. i want my plant to look like yours. any addvice would be great.

 

I learn new things everday from other people. Guys like meangreen, tyedye, ect.......There is more to growing other than the obvious reasons...to get great quality smoke/meds. Along the way you start to get more interested in growing this plant just to watch it grow and progress. Growing isn't about quantity,it's about quality. I would rather grow and oz of seriously kickass meds, than grow a pound of shwag. It is a way to relax and reflect, while knowing that it's quality of life depends on you.
