    ~Clones from the Club - (Shiva Skunk & Sour Diesel)
    ~The pic above is a pick of when I first got them an put them in my dusty ass basement with only a light.
    ~400watt MH/HPS switchable light with a built in ballast.
    ~I then made homemade box converted from a 50 year old home made cabinet. (32X24X63)
    ~Planted them straight in Fox Farm Ocean Forest.
    ~Watering with reverse osmosis water from the water store (using an aerator to keep some oxygen in the water).
    ~Pura Vida Nutrients and some calcium stuff...?
    ~PH is around 6.5.

    I am running only 2 50 cfm fans and the temp is great. The basement is sooooo dusty but the filters over the fan are doing wonders. Averaging from 68-75 degrees. Humidity is chillen around 48-55. here is a pic of the box after is was finally completed.[​IMG]

    The box is pretty ghetto looking but it does the job.

    Currently they are under the MH light

    This pic is of the Shiva Skunk when I first put it in the box.

    She's leaning because i bent for a few days to keep the height down. did not seem to bother her.

    She really bounced back after the nute feeding.

    Please provide feedback if you want. I am planning on stating the flowering next week to avoid them from getting so tall.

    Started the flowering.

    They have been in the box for 4 weeks now.

    The Sour Diesel is bigger than the Shiva Skunk but leggier.
    [​IMG]

    I think the leaves of the Shiva Skunk are curled down from over fertilizing them? I gave them a Grow feed a week before giving them a Bloom feed.

    let me know why else she looks this way.

  6. Pro lighting on those pics in the last post man.

    The look beautiful.
     
  7. Damn, I hadn't watered them in a few days, was out of town, came home and they looked real sad, the buds looked good but I was real sad to see shriveled up leaves, they were not dry so hopefully watering them brought them will bring them back...fingers are crossed.
    Shiva skunk buds are way bigger. These buds will be done before the Sour Diesel.

    Sour Diesel, real leggy and not yet bursting.

  8. actually, just checked them out, they are full again. A few leaves are going yellow. Is that normal? I'll post pics tonight.

    Then the Sour Diesel, not as full as the Shiva Skunk but maybe it is just the strain?
