I was taking my leaves because I didn't want them blocking light but I realized they make a lot of food for the guys to grow. So now I've got a few with leaves like this or more. It's skunk #1 and grows leaves like CRAZY.
They're really happy too. I've got lots of stuff mixed in my soil. I water them with compost tea and the evil miracle gro but they really like it.
I used to have an hps and a ceramic metal hallide (which is an awesome light). Both 400W. But I live in a "green space" now and I'm not supposed to use that much electricity. If I could just bring them outside... We get killer sun where I live.
I grew them like this because I only had 3 or 4 clones and I needed to get to harvest as quickly as possible. So I grew a couple of mothers and took clones from other plants too. In no time I had all these. And I can't grow big plants anyways because I'm using cfls. If I used a lot I could but that would violate the "green space".
It's taking too long! I've never been able to let a plant fully mature yet! But my roommates share a large portion of the responsibility for that.
I have 3 kinds: skunk #1 from spliff seeds cuz it was uber cheap (it's a beautiful plant but I would have liked something more high powered, but it is pretty nice)
I have some small tight bud making indica bag seed that loves to grow hermies but it's sweet and spicy and grows fast with tons of crystals. It grows roots and gets to flower really fast but it grows it's stems too fast so I can't pinch too many bud sites before I put it to flower... unless I take clones from it.
Then I have another bag seed that grows crazy tall like a sativa but has indica looking leaves. I only have 3 seedlings that haven't sexed yet. They grow so fast that I pinch them a lot. I've got them up to 16 tops and I don't even know the sex. And they drink water like crazy. I'll post a picture of that too.
The picture below is a skunk. They're stems grow quite slow. My next thing might be some aero phonics but right now I can't even afford jiffy pellets for my clones. :-/
