Skunk#1 LST Project

one way to tell, in a clear container, if your roots are having problems with the light......the roots will be green.

I messed up a bit with germination, looks like you are 4 or 5 days quicker then me.

I can't believe how fast they are growing, the 4th node is visible already on one of the plants! Should only be a few days until I top and transplant the 1st plant now. The secondary sets of growth on the stalk apexes is coming on well. It's a very quick strain of skunk#1, short veg period, and flower in only 45-50 days, although I'll be re-vegging after sexing, to build up the lst so the vegging period will be extended by a few weeks. I'm hoping to harvest at the beginning of march/end of feb.

allsmokedank, your more than welcome to pull up a chair fella!

Coca-Cola, I just use basic potting soil from your standard garden centre. No particular make.

m4n14c42o, hey man, if the roots are going green it means algae has set in and the soil isn't packed right, which you are right, is a bad thing if too much light gets in there. They are only in clear tubs as seedlings, they won't be staying that way for the whole grow. Plus I'm using fluoros so only a low amount of light will reach the roots. But I'll definitely keep an eye on the roots for now, thanks.

Day 21

A little while since last update, no camera for a while. Things are going really well, I topped the 1st two plants on day 17, and the new growth is coming along rather well. They are in 1.5ltr pots until I force flower to sex before LST. Once they have shown sex the best female will go into the 12gal tub. I've added another couple of fluoro tubes to the veg box, doubling the lumens, and the plants seem happy. I've got another envirolite on order which should come by the time I flower the babies.

Pics! The 1st two pics are from day 17, just after I topped the plants. The 2nd two pics are the plants on day 21 after a bit of bushing out.
