I am going to record one of my Super Skunk grows from start to finish for your amusement and pleasure. Enjoy!

These are some nice easy growing/cloning plants that taste fan freakin tastic and definately pack a punch and have short flower period as well in the 45 day range.

My room consists of a 1000 watt hps with hortilux eye bulb in a vented reflector on a hydrofarm 6' mover. fresh air intake good ventilation, temps max at about 78. They will start in a homemade aero cloner and stay there until flower. flower is a nft set up based on the sb set up, 396 pump with 14 event timer, 18 gal res with air stones. I will be using the Botanicare line of nutes (pure blend, sweet, cal-mag+, liquid kharma, silica blast) mainly because I already have them.

2/16/10: 20 clones taken from mother, no rooting compounds of any sort and plain tap water with base ppm of 104 ph'd to 6.0, pump runs 24/7.

Day 9:
Day 10: Had a power strip fail in the middle of the night, clones were without water or light for a good 3 hours. After they were back on all stood back up and are looking good, we'll see. I have another mother set aside if they don't recover. the ones with roots will be fine, I'm just not sure about the others although they all did stand back up. There's always an unknown variable to look out for. Anyhoo, here's a couple more pics and 1 of the roots so far.

Day 14: I'm still trying to recover from the power strip failure last week. only 1 is on the normal schedule and 4 others are starting to catch up, but the majority have no roots at all yet but are still standing tall so I'm just gonna try and wait them out for another week. If nothing happens by next week I will move the rooted babies and take a fresh cloner full and go from there.

to another smaller aero cloner I made out of a 5 gal pail that I don't use much anymore. The only reason I'd move them at all is because I usually start to give them veg nutes at day 16 and I don't think that would be beneficial to fresh cuttings with no roots.
 
Day 16: Well, a few more have sprouted, as you can see some have roots already in the water while some of the others are still recovering from their little episode. I usually start feeding them veg nutes today, but I will have to move the rooted ones if I want to do that so I'm just gonna wait another few days then sort through them.

Been a while since I posted an update, been super busy in the garden. Ok, been a while but here we are. After the power strip failure I took the rooted clones and the healthiest looking non rooted clones and moved them to another bucket cloner so I could feed the rooted ones and take a fresh set in the main cloner. Ended up that all the clones I saved lived, of course the already rooted ones, but also the non rooted clones did end up rooting even with 700ppm of pure blend grow and cal mag in the water. so the first 6 that were on schedule went into flower first after recovering from the strip failure and looked healthy, they are now on day 20 of flower and the second 6 are at day 13. in the pics below the original clones from post #1 are in the back 2 tubes starting with the oldest in the far right and the younger on the left. Also some new clones in day 2 of flower in the tubes closest to the camera. Since my last harvest I have more people wanting me to be there medical provider that have fell in love with this strain, but I can only have 2 more patients and which 2 folks to choose and any more work in the garden and this will be a full time effort let alone work and sleep. But I must give it up to Sensi Seeds on this one, It's fast and really good medical quality smoke that most are wanting over the White Russian and Sensi Star I also have.

Day 54 from mother 20 Days into flower: 04-11-2010

Everybody is going along just fine, changed the res out yesterday all is good so far. Also in those pics you can see a Critical Sensi Star that was put in with these to see what she'll do. Notice the difference in bud formation, the Super Skunks from there left are all the same age as her. Although the stalk on that little bush is about an inch around already with massive root structure, anyway that's for a future journal. And finally there's a shot of the trusty cloner and super mom doin their respective thangs.

Gettin close to harvest for the older girls, probably 3 or 4 days. Trichomes are almost all milky and a few are starting to amber, under the 50x they look delicious! in the group shot you can see that Critical Sensi Star starting to finally stop growing upward and fill out nice about 3 weeks to go.

Good looking grow Metalarc Lemon,that's great how fast this strain finishes.Thanks for sharing your grow.I'm growing this strain out in a couple months.That's interesting that most of your patients are wanting this over the White Russian and Sensi Star you have.Maybe this is just a better daytime smoke for them.

As for the Ad's...if i like a site or the site has helped me, i always click the ads,i clicked on the Nirvana banner since it's been a while since I've been to that site. If i plan on placing an order I'll click the Ad first then order.
