No till for the win. I love simplicity. Unfortunately I am a glutton for punishment, and I keep doing things the hard way.

I'm really liking it, but really it's not a whole lot different than using bottles. I still feed kelp teas, barley, aloe, fulvic and humic acids...

I'm interested in that solo strip light that you put together. Are those the Samsung chips?

It looks like you are using that to replace one of your 70w chm's is that right?

Edit:

Oh yeah, in for another year of awesomeness!!

How big an area is it that you have those three strips over? I have a 200 watt driver that I'm thinking of getting four strips to run in a dresser converted to a flower cab.

ReikoX · Feb 13, 2018

The three strip light is good for about a 2'x2' at 12" The cab these are in is 30x30, but im taking advantage of the lower light area for clones.

30-40 watts per square foot are the recommended rating for strips like these.

yo Reiko, those light strips look sweet.

I crossed the ancestral skunk to itself, got a couple hundred tiny black beans

Me too, feminized even... but not on purpose.

~star~crash~ · Feb 13, 2018

did we ever get a report on that skunk?

ReikoX · Feb 14, 2018

I have a harvest photo, the yield was good, but the quality was not so great. No exceptional plants and one with lots of male flowers. Two were musky with a bit of sweet to them. Reminded me of old school Mexican. One has almost no smell and absolutely no taste. It's smooth and they all are medium potency with a bit of a lag before it takes effect.

I washed 100 grams through the bubble bags and only got about 5.5 grams of hash back from all the bags. I pressed out some rosin and it's good, but not exceptional. I tried making flower rosin and missed a seed or two. You remember that taste of a seed in the bowl? Well concentrate that and dab it. :puke:

I'm not sure how I feel about the skunk. Right now, I am thinking I have better genetics available. I am thinking about gifting the remaining to someone with the space and time to hunt through them. I still have the clones, and would consider re-running them one more time without seeds.

~star~crash~ · Feb 14, 2018

you were very diligent with them ... ... i've never experienced an old school road kill skunk type plant ..

skunk is what makes me completely lost/forget about world/problems
but I dont like that old school smell its just stinks too much and the effect is devastating for me.
but if I want to get completely utterly wasted then its a good choice
its definitely not wake and bake and go to work stuff I would get lost and never arrive there and nothing would be done on that day anyway..
:biggrin:

Well, these weren't really offered as something to grow out and it would be great. Its more like this is an opportunity to hunt for a roadkill pheno, is how it was billed, and also the best use for them i'd think. Most will be just so so. RKS leaners are much more highly covetable though

~star~crash~ · Feb 14, 2018

do peeps still grow out the skunk#one from seed?..is sk#1 till being sold in regular non feminized stock? i grew out the sk#1 in 2007 it was really good...nothing skunks about it at all ..it was 100% sweet ...i did it outdoors still have pics somewhere

Yes these seeds pre-date the stabilized SK#1. I knew this when I bought them. I couldn't resist the opportunity to get my hands on this piece of history. They will get grown out eventually, but I doubt I will run the clones again.

I'm not sure if Sam is still selling Skunk#1 seeds, I know there are some crosses through Breeders Retail.

But I have Durban Poison testers going now, and an undisclosed cross I'll be testing soon. Beans should be here tomorrow. :biggrin:

As far as we know this batch is from 1992 or 1993.

With colas like that did you run into any mold issues? I had to be on top of everything last summer or PM was taking over. Oh yeah, my colas didn't compare to those monsters.

~star~crash~ · Feb 15, 2018

surprisingly they did not mold that summer, but they did not finish 100% either
