its comming along nice keep up the goodwork, ill post pics soon of what i "wish" i was growing to compare with. <super skunk-white label.

I learned to keep an extra spray bottle near me at all times in case cat gets curious again. As far as the seed cap, friend told me it is oftentimes easier to crack the seed cap in half rather than pull it off, this breaks it to a point of allowing the cotelydons to unfold.

Did you cure the first strain? I was concerned about a lack of aroma when I first harvested, but after a few weeks of curing things really perked up. Worth the wait.

Would love to see some skunky wish pics...

Roots were coming out of the bottom of the starter plugs so I transfered to the Ocean Forrest today. As compared with the MLI, the Super Skunk is growing at a much faster rate initially. Transfered to 6" pots, use a 3:1 soil perlite ratio. The soil was a little moist, not wet by any means - want those roots a lookin'.

Read about how early seedlings can go under a MH, s eems to be differing opinions. I've read about people throwing them under a 1000W right away without any issue. I've heard some say that HID lighting is too intense for seedlings. Some say it's ok as long as the light is sufficient distance from the plants....Decided to go for it, the light is about 4' away and my gut tells me they are fine. It's a 400W lamp, don't think there should be problems, but I'll continue to monitor. Gave the babies a little mist and put them to bed. Leaving lights on 24, see if it makes any difference other than to my electrical bill.

Yeah, it's been curing for about three weeks now. It didn't smell when it was growing on the plant, but break open a bud now and it is super funky!

And my first grow I put my seedlings under a 400watt MH four days after they sprouted. They loved it. Just start with it about 30 inches away.

i purchased a pack from nirvana mar 05, from this breeder we recieved 10 seeds 4 females, fast forward this strain is still #1 of many we cultivate. if you find a plant with good balance of size smell and taste this could be a end all strain.

our plant smell almost chocalate and will buzz you all day, and every time you smoke.
i have smoked this one strain daily for 4 months enjoying every toke.

SS is one of my favorites

Can't wait...I've heard amazing things. Figured it would be a great plant to start attempting cloning. Would be interested to hear about any special head's up about the strain. Did you have any issues that you feel are unique to SS? Anything to look out for?

Feedback always appreciated.

Temps holding right around 83. Yesterday almost hit 90, a little iffy about that number, I had the thermometer pretty close to the lights, moved it - temp readings are much more stable. Humidty right around 50.

Shitty little clip on fan busted so I grabbed a standard table oscillating fan, might have issues once the tent fills out, plenty of space right now.

Moved the MH about six inches closer, seedlings don't seem to be stressed. Some are showing a little bit of slowed growth from the transplant. Otherwise, so far so good. No water today, they'll get a little bit tomorrow.

Some drawings I made in third grade...

Temp dropped today, low around 73 in the grow room, high was 89. Humidity between 45-60.

Watered plants with ph'd water today. I use the pick up the bucket and feel the weight method, although I have a moisture meter for those cloudly days where the memory just isn't happening. Moved lights down about another 6". They seem to be loving the light, will probably move until they are about 10 inches or so from the plants.

All seem to be about the same place in the growth stage, minus one runt.

Here are some barely legal pics...must be 18!!!

Everything looks very nice. Only thing to worry about is temps above 85 will cause slow growth. I don't even like my temps above 80. These plants just grow so much faster when the temps are cooler. I've found low 70's to be the best. The thing is, with my room at 73 degrees, if you move the thermometer directly under the light at the hottest part of my canopy it reads 86 or sometimes low 90's. So with that said, if the cooler parts of your room are getting up to 89 that is bad but if that is the hottest part then no problem. And I would continue to move the light down bit by bit each day. What you want to watch for is the edges of the leaves curling upwards. That's when it's too close.
