"I'm also growing some excellent bag seed with these two fems. The Lemon skunk was extremely tiny from the beginning, at 3 weeks it was not more than 4 in. tall. The White Rhino was also somewhat small, about twice the size of the LS. The bag seed plants were friggin monsters."
Plants showed sex after 2 weeks 12/12. They are now at about 2.5 weeks flower and doing great.
I water weekly and give them a real good soaking. The WR has a very minty smell where the LS is, as you would expect... strong skunk with some citrus.
I will be updating as I go. Any comments are greatly appreciated.
I would really like to hear from anyone who has smoked either of these strains... I hear they are both excellent!
NOTE: Fish emulsion needs to be supplemented... both plants suffered from a P & K deficeincy during veg.

Thanks again... I'll be posting some more pics this pm. Who will you be getting your seeds from?
Here's a few more pics, two are of the WR in cabinet and the other is of some bag seed I got from Tampa.
I must say I'm really excited to be growing three excellent strains... two cannabis cup winners and one that knocked my dick in the dirt last summer!
Funny though... The bag-seed started, and for three to four weeks looked, indica... all the way- fat leaves, bushy, real dark green. Yet when flowering time started it stretched like a bitch, has internodes of about 4 inches and is obviously predominately sativa... Weird shit! One good thing about the bag seed, I knew height was gonna be an issue so I topped the bitch 3 times in an effort to keep her low and now have eight main colas, all flowering equally and strong!
Any one encounter this before? I can tell by the flower formation it's gonna be at least 10-11 weeks to finish.
I plan on giving all three a low ph flush at 4 weeks... filtered h2o with about 20 drops of lemon juice. "Plant Enema"
Again... anyone with experience smoking either of these strains gimme a hollar!

Week three of flowering. The white rhino is putting on weight a little faster than the lemon skunk or bag seed. All plants are still very healthy and showing no signs of defeciencys. Will flush in another 4 days with low ph formula. Added some stronger lighting, originally had 4-42 watt and 4-23 watt cfl's. just came off a few bucks and added 2 more 42 watt 2700's. The spectrum is now predominately 2700k. The WR is really stinking it up now... I just lightly rub a flower top and it smells like someone shit a christmas tree! Very Minty aroma!

25 days into flower. Just flushed... wetted soil completely then flushed with purified H2o that contained 20 drops per gallon distilled vinegar. Should get the ph down and get rid of those salt accumulations. Note the photo with the vertical flourescent tubes...they do a great job when using cfl's! I especially like the fact you can let the plant grow right up against them! OOPS! scroll down fpr pics!
