Hi everyone, we are a couple of friends from Paraguay, South America, and we are happy to join this community and this forum! At this time we are going to write about our first grow in our 4x4 grow tent indoor, you have to notice that in my country we dont have grow shops, or expertise people on self cultivation, and every decision that we make about the changes that we have to improve in our indoor comes from the result of our own experiments or decisions. We need the know how and experience of all the weed growers in this forum to get the best results!! Well, we are starting to post on our grow journal, today our 9 babys are on the DAY #41 from sprout and we recently change the lights to 12/12 to start blooming =) I will show you some GENERAL INFO about our conditions of growing, the height, leaf pairs, nodes and also photos from the day they sprout to photos from seconds ago! FARMER 44 2ND GROW GENERAL INFO - Strains: 3 Damnesia, 3 Flowerbomb Kush, 3 White Strawberry Skunk - Germination Day: 19/03/14 - Sprout Day: 21/03/14 - Vegetative Stage: 10 days by 85w CFL Bulb. - Watering 500ml/plant every 2 days. - PH Water: 5.5 - PH Soil: 7.0 - Buckets: 23Liters - Grow Tent: 4x4ft - Light: 600w HPS

Hi SHS Damnesia has broken soil(3 days),and as promised,herewith my growlog of these fine strains. I was lucky enough to be given a seed of each shs strain previously,as well as a rooted WSS cutting for my birthday yesterday This will be my first photoperiod grow in just short of 3 years! GERMINATION: I'm a simple man,living 600m from the beach,so humidity is a constant 60%,no presoaking,straight to pot. seldom use propagators,but have 2 sannies propagator's for hard to germ or sensitive seeds Considering trying jiffy pucks after digging them out of a box,but have had humidity issues before,so may stick to whats known to work. METHOD: These will start in small seedling pots and eventually move into 3.5l square pots in an organic soil mix. LST,topping and supercropping methods will be used to keep them under control My intention is to veg until ready to clone,then clone into 300ml seedling cups of coco perlite or soil,depending where they are destined to flower. Soil for outdoor,coco for autopots. NUTES: Moms will be done organically using locally available nutes Sea secret: Kelpak: Flowering in autopots will be using locally manufactured Nutriplex nutes that have been wasting away since my last dwc grow Nutriplex: Ammendments: I have been advised to add rock phosphate,turbo grow and mineral magic to my coco perlite mix,but this worries me...is this not hydro? why partially prep for organic and then destroy the micro life with salts!?! surely its one side or the other?experts? CAB: The cab is one of two micro cabs,40x40x70cm,lit by a 65w daylight or 2x 45w cool white cfl's(the latter for seedlings,better spread) Flowering will be done in my main cab,being 100X50X150cm,under an apollo 8 spot 270w LED panel and a supplementary 250w HPS. The clones will be done in sphagnum peat+ perlite mix in autopots(when i figure out the correct mix) and grown using locally made nutriplex nutes. PLANTS: The cutting was tier potted into into a 1l of my soil,not wanting to mess with its root system until it has acclimatised to my cab. She will become a heavily trained mom,as will the WL and Damnesia. These will supply my main cab with clones for flowering That about covers it for now,will add more as the grow progresses Have a final one or two auto rescue stragglers left that will be moved soon,where...hmmm,probably outdoor,maybe flower in cab,depends on floorspace available Cheers McB

While looking for a new strain to grow, I really liked the sound of White Strawberry Skunk, so I bought them!! I soaked 15 seeds on 14th February, for around 12 hours, their tap root appeared in tissue the next day and 2 days later they all were out of the ground! There I was thinking happy days! But since then I've been having murder with them! They're a little inconsistent in terms of pheno's. There's a range of heights, leaf types, and reactions to their environment (which has been monitored and controlled well), I have one that looks like it's Indica dominant, and nothing like any of the others! I should also mention, I have one C99 that was popped at the same time, in the exact same environment, that is absolutely fine, and has caused me no issues. So I took to google for some reviews and grow journals, but I could barely find a good word to be said about Green House Seeds, Strain Hunters, or Arjan... Queue, PANIC!! I woke up today, and decided to put the bad rep down to haters and ask my questions here! After all, the bigger you are the larger the target! So what I would like to find out is: How is White Strawberry Skunk stabilised? e.g. Backcrossing. Is it really a high yielder? Should I be culling the weak ones now!? Also, if anyone has any personal experience with WSS, I would hugely appreciate some feedback on: The end product e.g. taste, yield (with how many lights), strength, Whether it's a heavy or light feeder (Hydro), Any traits or things to watch out for - Both, good & bad! I'm hoping that by asking my questions here, I will avoid the haters and gain some valuable information. Thanks in advance guys!
