Images are smart phone so not the finest quality but clear enough.. she came out almost completely yellow.. i've had it happen a few times before and didn't seem to cause any problems.. she's starting to 'green up' well as you can see in the lower leaves..

She's been on plain water since she popped until tonight.. feed tonight was 500ml water with 0.5ml each of OT grow/Bio Silicon/Catalyst.. I've been using AN almost the whole time ive been growing but am switching back to PM to try a (mostly) organic grow and see if it makes any difference to taste/smell/strength.. I can usually pull 3 or 4 oz out of a pot this size but as AN seems to be steroids for plants I won't be expecting as much from the PM range.. I'd happily sacrifice some weight for an overall better quality end result..

Temps in the tent lie between 21c and 29c.. I try to keep them as close to 24/25c as possible.. most of my grows have been affected by excessive temps I think, based on the quality of the buds.. they're OK, and ive paid good money for worse smoke.. but they hven't been very smelly or tasty.. I think the temps have had a lot to do with it, getting over 30c at times. so temps will be the biggest challenge here I think.. I hadnt realised how damaging high temps can be until recently :O

I'll be trying to update the journal every 4-7 days just depending on how hectic life is at the time :)

Hope y'all can come along for the journey ;)

Good morning AFN .. depending on your location of course :) broke my laptop hence a bit slow with updates here.. gutted.. anyway, here's the bloody skunk on day 24 :-) she's doing really well.. looks a bit yellow still in the pics but not in 'real life'..

Feeding every 2/3 days, upped to 1 litre per feed about a week ago.. 1ml per litre OT grow, bio silicon and catalyst.. she seems to be loving life.. gonna let her stretch to full height before starting bloom feed rather than just flush and switch at week 5 as I've been doing last few grows..

She stands 8.5 inches tall and 12/13 inches wide :)

From above..

Hey guys.. here she is just 9 days l8r at day 33.. growth has been explosive!!

She's 30 inches tall and 25 at the widest.. feed is 2ml per litre PM OT Grow, 1ml per litre PM bio silicon every other grow.. there's still some upward growth left but not so much head height lol so I'm gonna start flower nutes soon hoping to encourage her to put her energy into flowering than stretching..

On an extreme downer note.. I may not b able to see this grow out :( i'll b moving house sometime soon.. possibly before this last is done.. and between times I'm gonna have ppl in poking about.. hoping to get this grow finished before the move but rite now it cud either way..
