Apparently the "Cheese" strains have Skunk genetics in them.

My neighbours husband bought some sort of cheese strain and she can't stand the smell.
She says it smells like dirty feet and made him smoke it outside. Lol

I might buy a gram just to see what it's like.


Stinky cheese. Lol

I pinched a bud to really scent the smell and it is a mixture of a tiny bit of acidic/sour and kinda like armpit or dirty feet, cheesy, something like that..

The calyxes from my skunk are getting swollen by the day and the trichs milky, i dont know how much time i have left with her..i like a lot the smell, sweet, maybe a bit fruity?something not like armpit or cheese or smelly anything, its a very pleasent smell
some branches need support cause of the weight of the buds, i hope its a good sign.
She have been suffering these days from lack of water cause im busy between 2 jobs.

My autofems from urban legends are officially flowering.. i like a lot of the way mazarilla grows, large, big, not to strechy but also not to short, also very beefy..on the other hand rubbing the stem i prefer the killer mandarine, for now.
in the last 2 weeks i always left the plate with water to try and make it kinda a SIP system and its working, they are always happy and when i water them normally by hand to feed them they stay droopy for 2 days until the pot dry a bit.. they are for now in the kindergarten with 5x 7.5w 4k philips SILS and 1x 9w 65k china cause one of the philips died

6 healthy cuts, still in rooting process, they are like the day i cut them, all day inside one 5litre bottle, sprayed to maintain the rh and they get half a hour a day outside to breath, they have everything to be successfull. Today im going to give them a foliar with aloe and back to the bottle

Skunk looks nice. That will be so easy to trim to.

You have no smell filter?
I do about 20 cuttings and can smell them outside. Just rooting. I have a hell of a nose on me, but I can't discount the idea a neighbour has a decent sense of smell to. We all think we have fairly similar abilities, but in fact, 1 in 4 can't smell anything much. While 1 in 4 smell 100 times more. We are not equally matched at all. Skunk is called Skunk for one reason. You should think about getting some verification regarding the smell. It would be a shame to loose your hobby when you are doing so well and enjoying it.

My skunk is just ripening and browining the last pistils, the majority of the trichs are milky but once again i started the flushing too late so she didnt fade a lot, maybe one more week and she is down, she could have been better though

Hey Sampas,.. I noticed that your plants have serrated leaves and they are curling up.
My plant is doing the same thing.

I was wondering if you or Caio know if that is good, or bad, or normal ?

I'm guessing that my plant might be doing it because of her lack of nutrition early on, combined with an abundance of light ?

Another guess (based on pure speculation) is that the plants are trying to transpire more?
I figure that a serrated leaf, will create more air turbulence as a breeze blows around it and that should draw more moisture out of the leaf ?

Hey Nicola how are you bro?:flowers2: thank you, that hit right in the spot :)

sup buds, how are you? I dont know if its because of nutrients but my girl just showed a bit of nitrogen def in the ending of stretching but it was fine, i guess i have the leafs like this because of the light, is more pronouced in the areas with higher readings, so i guess maybe it can be that for you too?i dunno honestly

BTW

I dunno if im still in soil or in hydro:shucks:

But they do seem to like it and now, after they recover from the messy waterings leading to a very dry pot and some roots and leafs diyng, nothing extremely bad, now they show growth every day and dont look so unhappy

for now the killer mandarine is more resinous and more smelly, the pistils seem longer and thicker compared to mazarilla.. mazarilla in terms of size beats killer mandarine, way thicker and bigger..killer mandarine in my eyes have a more wild look, mazarilla is more elegant

If you spot a cooker hood getting chucked out, grab it. They have a 100mm rvk and 3 speed switch in them. Usually the switch is changing motor windings, so it's a true power/noise reduction. Manufacturers like Neff use a really well balanced assembly on a decent motor. The packaging isn't perfect, but if you have room, they can beat a $100 fan easily. For free. Though not all brands are equal.

I used to buy them from the free adds papers. It's easy to get them sucking, not just blowing. Most have a removable filter cartridge of their own, with a 20mm bed, like a hobby filter has. Though it's gonna need chucking if it's used.

Something to think over for many of us. Proper fans don't come cheaper than out a skip :)
