First Grow in new room (17 Plants)

Budders · Feb 16, 2011

These are all 6 days into flower. I've got 2 Hash Heaven, 2 Hawaiian Haze, 2 Casey Jones, and 11 OG Skunk...Right now I'm running 2 600 watt HPS HID lights, however the plants have outgrown the lights footprint so tomorrow I'm adding a third light, 1000 watt dimmable for a total of 2,200 watts. My room is 5.2' X 15.1'. Ive got digital greenhouse ballast and vented reflectors. Most of the girls are in 10 gallon grow pots, with a 25/75 mix of perlite and pro mix. I'm feeding them advanced nutes GROW/BLOOM and Earth Juice Meta-K, Cata, Micro and Epsom Salt. I've had good results with Ph at 6.2-6.4

I'm excited about DNA Genetics OG SK, they look very dank and grow fairly easy...THEY allready STINK!!!!

Comments welcome...

I've run the Skunk OG18 5 times. She is a great smoke. Currently I have a seed run of her with males of Grape God and Dynamite. If I can find a pheno that maximizes the massive bud formation she and the Grape God have with the big head skunk buzz of the SOG18 I'll be one happy chic.

She is very tolerant of nutes, under a 400 I've never pulled less than 2 1/2 ounces off her growing natural, I've taken 5 off her under the 400 using lst. My pheno grows very round with tight nodes and a lot of side branching and bud sites.

She roots her cuttings really quick and recovers from stress conditions faster than any strain I've ever seen. My pheno has also never gone longer than 52 days. To maintain the big skunk head buzz I always take her at 0-5% amber, go to much longer and she gets stuck in the middle between head & body. I suggest starting to check the trichs about day 48.

I haven't updated my gj in a while, but if you follow the link you can see some of my harvested Skunk OG18. I currently have one in the beginning of veg, 6th run for her, and 2 rooted cuttings in the nursery I'm working on for the next run.

Good luck, she's going to become a favorite for you.

Edited to add that she puts on quite a bit of growth during 12 off, I would suggest you start staking her now, training the branches away from each other or you'll find that a lot of the bud that could be tightened up along the bottom will get buried in the foliage.

Electrical

Spent some time this last week cleanin up my electrical, adding the third light (dimmable 1000W), and switching all the lights from 120 V to 240 V. Should save approximately enough electricity by switching to 240 that i can add the 1000 watt to the 1200 (increasing the lumen output 83%) and only raise my electrical usage 23%.
