Skunk #1 Auto

[PotChimp]

they look really nice and tall for 7 weeks old !! good job

Thanks and welcome I'll never grow these autos under anything but a HID bulb from now on, though. They'd look a lot fatter if I would have vegged them under a MH and flowered them under a HPS.

Thanks man they're hitting the swell now

Just in time to put them under the HID in a few days. I haven't decided if 18/6 with a 250 watt MH/HPS or 12/12 with a 400 watt HPS would be better (I'm leaning towards the 400 watt HPS). I've got to do a bud wash on these. See the gnats?

Got them out of the cold unit and under the 250 watt MH/HPS I defoliated after this pic:

I'll have to check and see what the breeder's harvesting time says, but they look like they have about 2-3 weeks at best.

I'm putting these in the dark for chop today and I'll take one more set of pics after I trim the buds up. I didn't grow these under the best conditions and didn't take the best care of them either, but they survived my lack of interest anyway:

Post more pics soon.

I chopped all of these this morning and I'll post a personal opinion of the smoke, my thoughts on growing it as an amateur, and a pic of the good dried nugs before I close this journal. I can tell you already that it still smells like fruit, so much that I'd be surprised if it cured out with even a slight skunky smell to it. I didn't trim the lower stuff (there's about 1-1/2 times as much as I have top colas and nugs) because I'm going to use it for extractions. Here are the buds I kept for smoking

Final thoughts on this strain: If I had it to do again I'd go with a 1/2 and 1/2 mix of Happy Frog and SSM#4 on the bottom of a 1 gallon pot and straight SSM#4 on the top. I'd just water and not feed; these don't feed heavily. I'd go with my 250 watt Agrosun bulb for veg and a 400 watt Eye-Hortilux HPS for flower. It doesn't smell one bit like skunkweed. More like a fruity smell as I mentioned before. From seed to chop - 76 days. The smoke is okay but not great. Here are the main colas I decided to keep:

Thanks to everyone for the inspiration and keep it green

Hope all is well in your world.

Thanks for sharing this grow with us.

Please head over to the 420 Strain Reviews forum and post your smoke report there too.

I’m moving this to Completed Journals now.

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.
