[CFL] Lemon Skunk! [Clone]

Great to see you got yourself the genetics you were hoping for. I'll be along for the ride for sure. If your camera doesnt work you could always use a webcam. If you dont have one their pretty cheap. So because this is a photoperiod how long approx will it be til harvest?

Yea I'm stoked. Glad to have you here.
I've been using bagseed from SoCal, and it wasn't even that great. I'm just hoping it was grower's error, and that my lady will be much better.
But now that I've got solid genetics, I'm planning on just using the Lemon Skunk for a long time. With one clone of the bagseed in case I like the smoke.
My camera is silly, I can't take pictures off of the camera, but I can attach it to my computer and use it as a webcam.
So I'll be doing this, but it's going to get real annoying real fast to keep moving her back and forth.
I'll catch a picture later when the sun is shining more in my window. Probably in the next hour.

Well, it's an alleged 8-week strain. But since my clone is about 5"-6" tall, I won't be flowering her for a while.
Here's the plan;
"Right now I've got 4 weeks or so left on some bagseed, so I'm planning on vegging this clone for 2-3 weeks, then taking a clone from the clone's top (topping + rooting) Giving it another 2 weeks to catch up, and inducing flower. And from there on I'll manage a perpetual just like this, one plant at a time. So I'll have a total of 2 plants at once."
I only have room for one plant at a time in flower, with one tiny clone somewhere else around the house.
So when my bagseed finishes up I'll finally have room for the Lemon Skunk to go in flower.
So if estimates are right I should be looking at a harvest between 9/27/11->10/04/11
But of course every plant is different so who knows.

Day 8: She grew so much, I just topped off a large chunk. It had 4 large fan leaves, with good branching.
I have it rooting in the same tank that I did my bagseed clones in. Hoping for all to go well.
I haven't cut every single leaflet in half yet, I may decide to later tonight.
But I cut about half of them in half.
Using jiffy pellets.

The mother clone is going to be trained into a series of tops, by SimonD's method. I will prune off lower buds as they appear, so as not to shock the plant by lowering light intake. After about 4 weeks I'll put her into flowering..
Here's some VegPorn for you all..

The setup;

On the left is a 5g fishtank, with a 6500k 13w bulb in it, and a PC fan altered to have both fans facing forward.
On the right is a little tank with a glass lid that fits snug, and a plastic cup with a jiffy pellet & clone inside. The light is a 15w Fluoro tube, I can't remember spectrum but it wasn't too good.
It's just for the rooting period.

All my big lights are on my bagseed right now, but when she's done flowering, the lemon mother will go into my flower area.
The clone will live in sunlight from a window after it roots, Until the mother goes into flower.

I want to see how she turns out, im interested in the "lemon" strains, hope it turns out nice and citrus'y for you

Well the mother clone is going to look like about 6 medium sized tops.
And the clone will be reshaped into god knows what.
Thanks for the hope, I'm right with you on that one.
Every strain is different, even if it says "lemon" or "OG" or whatever.

HI C.Indica, beautiful signature link. I wish i had a spare camera to send you. Yes, your lemon skunk leaves do look at bit more sativa then my lemon skunk. Its so strange how some strains have such variety in them. I have grown about 6 super lemon hazes and i have seen major leaf differences in many of them. some are thinner and longer and others wider and fatter.. maybe you have a real winner on your hands.. i hope so. Thank you for the link.. fellow lemon skunker!!! and i dont mind daily updates.. i think its great to be enthusiastic about your growing. i hope everything is going well for you and your feeling better these days.. take care amber

Thanks, took me a while to figure out how to do it.
Eh the camera I have is fine, but it won't shoot close-ups.
So no gooey trichome shots for you guys.
She even feels more sativa to me, the stems aren't as thick and bushy as indica branches.
Perfect target for a good LST.
I know she'll be a winner. For sure, glad to have you along, Skunks unite! Haha kidding.
Yea now that I have this camera I'll start shooting more often, so you all will really feel like you were there.
Everything is grand, but my girlfriend doesn't get off until 9 tonight.. so thats annoying.
+ I have to get up at like 5:30 tomorrow morning to work though, so I basically have to go to sleep a couple hours after she gets home.
If I want to be productive..

You too!

Looking good so far C! Can't wait to see the progression.
