Skunkbubble grow journal

[dgh420]

KrissK70 - I use a combo of organic tea I make from worm castings and from horns I bury in soil filled with Manure. In the biodynamic manner, I only fertilise during full moon phases and harvest similarly. Friends of mine who grow Pinot Noir use this method for their vineyard and the results as far as taste and flavour are unbelievable.

PAchamama - I think that heat and enviro would be issues depending on the variety grown. In some cases true landrace Indica need nearly all heat and no humidity. A tropic Sativa would probably suffer due to lack of Humidity and high rainfall.

Hi dgh420 - What sort of lighting do you use for your indoor grow?

Your outdoor grow is looking really great!

 

[dgh420]

Hi KrissK70 - Am using a 600watt HPS with a remote ballast for lighting. In the cupboard that I germinate in I use a 250watt HPS. Thanks for your comments and I appreciate the feedback. The Skunkbubble is growing really well and is a lot shorter and stouter than the bubblegum is originally so the more Indica elements from the Widow Skunk appear to be bred into the bubblegum as I had hoped it would.

 

[KrissK70]

I am getting some Blackberry seeds soon and am looking to grow them outdoors now we are getting some decent hot weather again! LOL

I have a cupboard that I could use for seedlings and am going to use a MH light probably 250watt? Would this be as good as the HPS?

 

[IMA]

MH is what you want for veg. I think your best bet IMO for germing and seedlings, 250 is a little overkill A couple nice cfls will do fine for the first week then move to the 250.

 

[KrissK70]

hey dgh420 - got the light and am just waiting for seeds to arrive. Went 250 HPS as it could be used for both veg and flowering with, and the HPS should do this.

 

[dgh420]

KrissK70 - get a grow journal going ASAP when the seeds arrive. Plenty of matey's here who can help you out!!

 

[shaggy_420]

oh this should be very good

Day 42

Ah... the sun comes out and the temperature is on the rise and all of the plants are starting to scream out of the ground! Today here it is going to be 33 celcius and took these pics early this morning. Have taken 1 of the male Skunk Bubble plants out of the garden bed as I think there is another 1 already there.

Plant no. 1

Plant no. 3

Plant no.4 is showing the most Widow Skunk traits of the variety so I have kept this plant seperate from the others in the ground.

What else is in the Yard??

Alaskan Thunderfuck

Autopot Blueberry Jam clone

Super Silver Haze

Californian Orange Bud

Chunky Cheese Clone

What is growing indoors??

Plants have been inside for just over a week now and are really starting to get their stretch on and are forming flowers at a rapid rate. The smell is just rude and I am lucky that the room is well ventilated. The Bubblegum and Chunky Cheese plants should come with an odour warning!! LOL

Blueberry Jam

B-52

[KrissK70]

Looking the goods!!

 

[IMA]

wow where did you get ALASKAN THUNDERFUCK where can i get it
btw plants look great

 

[dgh420]

PAchamama- got the seeds from a mate of mine who lives in Alaska. Is really strong growing and I am told that it flowers and finishes in 7 weeks. So, it should be ready about 27th Feb 2010.

 

[cigo]

man, i bet for "Alaskan ThunderFuck" DD

 

[CocoJoe]

Are you making some seeds for future fun?

 

[dgh420]

Cigo - Yep, cant wait for it to be late summer here in OZ! Am giving the plant the full treatment, 6.3PH soil, only fertilise during a full moon, 7hrs of direct sun a day, buried a fish in the compost as well that I am using as a request from my inuit mate. I guess you live in Alaska, you appreciate the nature around you in a special way?

cocoJoe - You betcha I am!

 

[KrissK70]

Will be great to watch you get the seeds going from your breeding.

 

[cigo]

i'm not in Canada but i plan some day move there to live... ^^

 

[dgh420]

Cigo - It sounds like a truly beautiful place. But the cold would be something that would take getting used to!!

Smoke report - Skunkbubble

Have taken tips off 2 of the Skunkbubble plants today and given them a quick dry before rolling up. I usually like to roll a 3 cone joint. Have only had half so far and am impressed with the taste and high at such an early pick. Will be reporting in over time on all of the plants on the grow at the moment.

 

[dgh420]

And the breeding begins!!

Have started today the pollination of the plants within the grow room by a Bubblegum male. Will have Bubblegum X Cheese, Bubblegum x Blueberry, Bubblegum x B52 and a fresh supply of Bubblegum seeds.
