Ok folks, i was wondering how my south india x skunk is doin so far?!?!?
She popped up 10 days ago and this is its progress so far..
She's under 3 daylight cfl's with the usual 6500k rating on an 18/6 schedule, in tomato grow bag compost, watered sparingly when the top 1.5" of the soil is dry.... thinking about giving it a 70/30 mix of water and miracle gro or similar in the next wk, gradually building the dose.

Any advice??

How big should i let her get before i repot??

Go steady..

Here's a couple of more recent pix, there's a whole bunch of new leaves on top of the main stem,grows approx 10cm per day and its really starting to fill out at the sides too..I'm gonna try giving it a real weak solution of sulphate of ammonia to boost the nitrogen levels a bit..I have also added a warm white 2500k cfl to the mix which has seemed to make a difference..Still on 18/6, although i have been considering goin back to 24/0... what do you guys think, leave it or will it benefit from the extra hours???

Also, i know it needs repotting sometime soon, will that increase its upward growth??

Hey man, beautifal plant, good size for only 10 days. And regarding upward growth, the leaves look pretty wide, it's probably an indica, and from what I know they don't grow upwards at a high rate, like to stay bushy. But I would think that with more roots that growth should get better.

Also, if you didn't know, the plant may go into shock halting growth for a few days after repotting.

Yeah i had read that it'll shock it when its replanted, i wanna try n leave the transplant as late as poss, so its established a bit more..

Lol.. not too big i hope.figure on flowering it at around 20" jst hope it doesnt 3x its size, which these apparently can do.
gonna try LST on it, the two main branches are already leaning away from each other so i figured it'd be good to satrt in a week or so..or maybe when its been transplanted into a 6" x 12" pot?? Your thoughts please.
