Lemon Skunk (First Grow)

Alright, so I moved back to Ireland from Canada a few months ago. When I was in Canada I would smoke up about 3 or 4 times a day. (It was Canada, the stuff is everywhere there, and very good quality.)

Since I came back I haven't had a puff for various reasons. One being that I don't know anyone here anymore! I got myself some Lemon Skunk seeds the other day in Belfast and I'm just waiting for them to show up through the soil. In the meantime I've been getting the grow room ready and buying the equipment, mostly from B&Q.

I'll start putting up some pics as soon as things start to happen. Hopefully all goes well and I'll be toking up again in about 2 - 3 months.

Wish me luck!

So I didn't abandon my first grow. I got sidetracked renovating the house and my camera died, so no updates until now, got the new camera today.

Here's the latest pics. 5 Lemon Skunks, feminised seeds.

Vegged under 2 x 55w, 6400k Poweplant Flourescents, not CFL's, for 5 weeks.

Flowering under a 250w HPS for 3 weeks.

Didn't feed them anything during the veg stage.

Since I started flowering I've been using "Canna Flores" every time they need water, which is roughly every 3 days.

For water I've just been using rain water.

Starting to have to tie them down, as they're getting too big for the grow space.

Hopefully I can start curing in about 5 - 6 weeks. Going to try the water curing method.

how tall did they get?

Have you water cured before? You cause me to go read a tutorial, I think I'll try it. Post some pics and your thoughts on it please.

oops, meant to reply, not quote....

This is my first time growing or water curing. Going to air cure the last 4 plants.

Just had a toke from the first one that's water curing.

Just dried it quickly with the hairdryer.

This is it's 3rd day in water, tastes pretty fucking good to me. Can't wait to see what it's like after it's cured properly.

I'd definitely recommend Lemon Skunk. Easy to grow, tastes great and I am well stoned!

Hurrah!

Next time I'll do a better journal. I think I'll just grow one plant and try that thing that gets you 4 main colas and tie the stems down a bit better.

Good luck on your own grow!

Thats a pretty dense motha fuckin cola my good man i put the seed in water and in 16 hours of water touching it the seed sprout so its in the dirt already...what did you grow with? And have you heard of the Superlemon Haze that won the cup this year some places are trying to sell them before greenhouse even has them on the market themselves...How do you think this is possible?

I grew with a bag of soil I got from the local garden center. Only ferts I used was Canna Flores, during flowering. Dunno how they have them on the market already, maybe they're on order and they'll send them when they get them in? Sounds like you're well on your way for getting some good buds yourself! Are you doing a grow journal or anything?

Hey there elduderino... nice job on the lemon skunk. Mine are at three wks. flowering. Got some questions for you. 1) how long did flowering take 2) can you elaborate on the buzz... how much body stone, how much head, how long lasting, taste etc. Thanks

Cheers! Flowering took nine weeks. They were ready in 8 weeks, but everything I read said to leave them another week.

The buzz is a real mixture of head and body, starts in the head and then spreads out over the body within half an hour and lasts for at least two hours. The taste is good so far, not as smooth as it should be, hasn't properly cured yet. I should have some good cured stuff by next week. The taste is still really good though, if it's better than this it'll be some of the best weed I've tasted.

Actually I found that the smell wasn't that strong when growing it. It smells stronger now though! The smoke is great, wee bit strong on the back of the throat, but I think that's from it not being cured properly yet.
