Lil guys |
Started these guys from seeds. Using plastic is a bad idea though. I had no problems, kept the smell down, but the stuff can melt. |

3 weeks |
These guys have jist about outgrown the incubator. Time to move them to the real grow area |

Ventilation |
Carbon filter and fan. Keeps the smell and humidity down in the cramped space that I (we all) use. |

Nutrient tank |
Mix everything up in here and set it on a timer. I only visit the girls every other day or so. The tank is a bubbling cauldron of microbial, organic, humic, stank. Great tuff. |

4 weeks flower |
This is about 4 weeks flower or so. The clones are in front and (almost hidden) in back. Plants reaching the light are from seed. Clones are 2-3 weeks ahead of the seed plants |

Skunk #1 and Bubble Gum |
The ladies starting to fill out. Both have been topped and bent over to limit height. Inspired by Mr. Douglas and his green acre. That man is a god. Faaaaaaaaaaarm livin' is the life for me. |

Lookin good in the garden |

Irrigation |
This is the main line that penetrates the white foam wall, and the dripper that feeds the plants. each dripper is a circle of four tees |

fan and dehumidfy |
The oscillating fan keeps air moving around, and I added a dehumidifier after some bud rot last year. The dehumidifier blows warm, dry air up to the fan and the fan moves it over the buds. Both Wal-Mart specials. |

Eight weeks in |
The clones are about 8 weeks 12/12 here and the seed plants are about 6 weeks |

Grew a dick |
This is the Fruity Juice clone at about 8 weeks, with the last 1.5 weeks flushed. Went Hermie on me while hiding in the back - it's the little yellow banana in the middle. |

Filling out |
Skunk #1 from seed - 6 weeks 12/12 - these are a great cross of quality and yield - the Dawg says it's the best he ever did smoke. |

6 week skunk |
Skunk #1 clone at about 6 weeks. Currently flushing this one but taking a while to "yellow" |

Skunk #1 clone almost there |
Just about ready... |

Harvest time |
Skunk #1 on harvest day ... |

Making a run |
When I mentioned the word "harvest", the girls pushed open the door and made a run for it ..... |
04/17/07 |
Fruity |
Fruity juice at harvest - the leaves didn't get as yellow (flushed) as I would like, but I'll work with it |

Skunk #1 at harvest |

Clones at harvest |
Fruity juice in front, Skunk in the rear. Amazing how these little cut branches grew into budcicles |
04/17/07 |
Fan leaf trim |
The same fruity juice plant with all the big leaves cut off |
04/17/07 |
Male organs |
Another look at the male sex organs on the Fruity Juice clone ... This is typically genetically influenced, so I won't use these genetics anymore. Will be interesting to see if there are any seeds |
04/17/07 |
Skunk staked up |
I put a stake in the Skunk container cause she was starting to lean .... this problem is OK .... about 9 weeks, these take about 10 to mature in my garden |
04/20/07 |
Bubble Gum |
Bubble gum after the clones were harvested and the seed plants given more space ... almost done herself |
04/20/07 |
Stem split |
I never noticed the BG stem split because it was so crowded in there. Plant adapted OK though. |
04/20/07 |
Drying |
I just hung the clones up high in the garden, out of direct light but still in the "aroma containment" area. |
04/20/07 |
Harvest day |
The bubble gum (front) and skunk #1 plants on harvest day - these gals grew from seed |
04/30/07 |
Bubble Gum |
The BG buds grew real top heavy - the top colas were like 4-headed hydras |
04/30/07 |
Day skunk |
Brought the skunk out into the daylight so you can see the results of the flush - yellow leaves indicate all the chlorophyll and nutrients are used up - making for good smooth smoke .... |
04/30/07 |
Hanging |
Finished the initial trim and hung to dry ... I keep the light off when they're drying |
