 LA Confidential x Skunk #1 Log

Day 1 of flowering tonight.
I decided to give the newly transplanted clones a clearex treatment tonight. After I abandoned AN's full strength schedule, and taking a look at the roots of the clones and the plants I just harvested, I felt like they were suffering from salt damage and gave them a flush. They were fed 1/2 strength veg nutes last night so they'll have enough food in em til I feed again on Thur.
Managed to keep the canopy nice and even too which has been difficult this past year. Plus since I'm growing strictly LA confidential this run I should have no problem keeping a nice even canopy through flowering. I have the lights 2 ft above the tops, I'll be lowering it in a few days once they've gotten used to the HPS. I probably should transition my plants from the T5 to the HPS, but I just don't have time or room to do it.
Anyways, looking forward to this one. I usually take a 2-3 week break between harvests, but fuck it, I want some new buds before superbowl so I can bring some to the eventual party

Yah, I'll join you on that finger crossing. Don't want to see that shit again, I'm going to buying a wall mounted oscillating fan to increase air circulation. Hopefully it won't be a problem this go around.

Day 9
Whee problems, I'm not sure if the solution isn't strong enough, or if I need to be feeding a bit more (as in watering more frequently). Regardless I'll be adding in the big bud tomorrow. I'll add in another ml of base and see if that keeps me under 1000 PPM. I'd like it to be around 850-900 as I'm trying to avoid large swings in PPM.

Fed them with full strength big bud for the last time, next feeding will be at 4 mls. Plants are looking a lot better, removed a bunch of fans that were too far gone, and removed a few bud sites and real low growth. You know, I just can't bring myself to remove a lot of growth, I keep saying I'll do it, but I just see it as lost potential.
Anyways, going steady and strong, tomorrow marks two weeks.

Day 15
Decided to keep them at full strength big bud, they look starving. Since I'm still under 1000 PPM I'll keep them there. I'm also switching to every other day feedings. They're not looking as good as I would have hoped, but I'm sure they'll recover eventually. I'll be tossing in a little cal-mag next feeding just in case. Hopefully they'll perk up with the more frequent feedings.

sure does, they love the fans. I usually toss them small leaves from my moms when I'm doing work in the garden. My dog loves them too, she actually can hear the squeak of my trimmers and comes running when she hears it lol

Fed tonight
6 ml sensi A+B
8 ml Big Bud
8 ml Bud Candy
pH 6.0 PPM 920
I fed on friday night as well with the same dosage. They're finally starting to green up nice now. I think it has to do with going three days between feedings for sure. I'm going to cut back on the big bud, but I'll only cut back to 6 ml and see how they like it. I want to drop the PPM's closer to 850 now that things are perking up. Other then that things are chugging along nicely again.
On another note, a friend of mine offered to get me some grape ape clones. So hopefully I'll have at least one of those cuttings in my closet soon. I've spent about a year on the skunk train beans so it will be nice to have something new in the garden.

Fed Tonight
6 ml Sensi A+B
6 ml Big Bud
8 ml Bud Candy
pH 5.8 880 PPM
Day 21
Plants are looking better, two of them are still a little paler then the others, but overall they've perked up and have begun growing nicely. Lowered the Big Bud dosage a tiny bit and dropped the PPM's a little. I might actually cut it back to 5 ml next feeding and see if that puts me closer to 850. Buds and leaves are starting to frost over now, couple more weeks and the buds will be nice and chunky.

The only other nutes I've used with a hempy bucket is Flora Nova from GH. Besides that I've used botanicare, foxfarm, assorted gen hydro products.

Flushed last night with 1 tbsp of clearex per gal. Each pot got 1 gal of water through it and was then drained. Think I'm dealing with either a K or a Mg def. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow.

Fed Tonight
6 ml sensi a+b
6 ml big bud
8 ml bud candy
6 ml Ca/Mg
5.8 pH 1150 PPM
Fed some cal mag hence the up in the pH. I dunno, I'm getting a sinking feeling that they're just not getting enough food. Buds look awfully small for how long they've been flowering. Maybe they'll surprise me and pack on some weight in the next 3 weeks, but I really think I underfed them and I'm suffering for it. I might bump the food up to 1000 for the rest of the way out. I broke my 1000 PPM rule tonight, but they're suffering from either a Mg or a K problem right now so they needed a little extra. If it's a K problem hopefully the extra bloom nutes help, if not I have a bag of kool bloom I could use (even though I'd like to stick with just AN products for this run).
Not looking like a good harvest, but oh well got tons of cuttings waiting for me to root them

Fed tonight
6 ml sensi a+b
5 ml Big Bud
8 ml Bud candy
So I had gone and bought a brand new 600 watt ballast on friday because my lamp just looked dim. My old ballast was also taking up to 40 seconds just to fire the bulb so I thought something was up. So, thank god I got a xmas bonus because the new one set me back 260. Brought it home, lamp still looked dim. At least it was firing fast though. So I broke out a back up lamp that had been through 3 grows, plugged it in, and bam blinding light again.
So either I bought a defective bulb in November or my old ballast was just killing bulbs due to a defect. Luckily I can send it back in to get refurbed for free so at least I'll have a spare now.
Sorry, I'm being lazy with the pics again. I'll get some up soon.

So I'm really considering going hempy, and my reason is I think it will be easier to grow in than soil. Easier for me, in that I will be in control of the food my plants are getting and not my FFOF soil. Soil just stresses me out. I have a hard time understanding what they need and when.
Am I on to anything here in your opinion?
Thanks

Day 49
Well, the buds are looking a hell of a lot better then they were a week or so ago. Here's some pics, I know I've been late and I'm sorry. Hopefully the trich pics will make up for it, I finally remembered the trick to getting my old camera to get great macro shots. I also included a pic of the deficiency that was asked for a while ago. Sorry about that 
Anyways, these motherfuckers stink. I know I need a new carbon filter, but goddamn. I'm gonna need something to mask the air while it's drying heh. This is their last week of food. They'll get one more dose of nutes on thursday, then I'll begin flushing them out on saturday. Harvest is planned for the 22, I'm looking forward to getting a little break and will be preparing clones this weekend for the next run.

Ugh, sorry for no updates I've been laid out with this nasty fucking cold. Haven't had much energy to take pics or keep progress. Flush started last Sunday. They were flushed/leached using 1 gal of water with 1 tbsp of clearex per container. I pour the whole gallon through then drain the water out of the "rez". Tues they just received a dose of plain, pH balanced, water. I won't give them anything else and will be chopping them on saturday.
I promise to take a few harvest pics and post them before I complete this log. I have 6 kushberry clones waiting on roots for my next run. I'll be picking the best 4 out of the bunch to flower. After that run I'll be moving onto something else entirely. Maybe something from Mr Nice, haven't really decided yet, but I'm super bored of the skunk train.

The chop is commencing in two hours. Gotta take the girl to work then its off to break my back for 3-4 hours as I chop em down.
Seems like I can't catch a break on harvest day either, last time I was hungover from partying, this time I'm sick, ugh. I hate trimming enough as it is, why does my body have to make it worse?
At least I'll have 6 more plants worth of trim to add to the hash stash. I really do need to get off my ass and get my friends bubble bags. My next hash run is gonna be fairly large which I'm pretty excited about it. I'd love to get close to an oz of bubble hash to store away.

TIIIIIIMMMMBEEEEEEER!
Total flowering time 61 days. Started the harvest at 11:45 this morning, by the time I hung up the last bud it was close to 6 pm. That's about an hr of work per plant, ugh, I FUCKING HATE HARVESTING. I swear I'm saving up to buy one of those spin pro things. Fuck this by hand bullshit, after the third hour my back and shoulders are just fucking killing me. At this point spending 300-400 dollars on one of those spin machines is looking mighty fucking tempting.
I'll get some better bud shots tomorrow, by the time I finished up the sun had pretty much gone down and I had no desire to fuck around with an LED light and my camera heh. I'll pull some buds down in the morning and do some better closeups with natural light.
I can't emphasize enough how much I love this strain. Beautiful, resin covered, dense, tight, colas. Wonderful aroma (although I don't smell the skunk until I leave the house then come in again), and a fairly decent taste. However the high is what I love most about it, knocks me on my ass and puts me to sleep. Perfect for my nighttime smoke. It's in my top 3 favorite ever grown and I don't see it leaving my garden for a long while. Which reminds me that I need to reclone the mom asap.
Anyways, that wraps it up for this grow. Next run will be an all Kushberry run while I get some new gear prepared for the summer harvest!

6-7 days hanging, then off to the jars. I might let them sit in paper bags for 12 hours again after the first 24 in the jar. Just depends on how moist they are when I crack the jars open again.

Just a small update. I dumped out the buckets today to check out the root system. My thoughts were definitely confirmed. AN's feeding schedule is just way to strong. When I followed it to a T my entire root system was burned out and there was so much salt left over that they sparkled in the light. This time all the roots on the outside of bucket were still a little too tan for my liking, but, the inner root ball was pure white and there were no sparkles.
I don't think I will be using Advanced Nutrients products again. Next grow I will hopefully trying out GH's new line FloraDuo. If I can't get a hold of that I'll go to the ol' reliable Flora series.

Actually if you read their FAQ they say that it can be normal for some of their nutrient lines to start smelling like ammonia after a while  .
I'm with you though, I wouldn't feed my plants something that smelled like that either.

I never really realized it was a mentioned thing? There was something definitely hindering my plants at the time and I got rid of the AN as soon as I noticed it was smelling like that (Mother Earth Super Tea) and got some GH FN and everything cleared up ha.
After some research I am interested in that FloraDuo. They sell it on Amazon you know and I have bought nutes of amazon before with great convenience. Specifically the 8oz Floralicious + so I didn't have to pay $50 for a full quart.
Mainly from what I read with its new Bio Activators its the shit and it helps prevent root rot and pest invasions which are problems I have been dealing with.

Yah, I could order from amazon or someone else if I needed. Guess I prefer supporting the local shop. Usually whatever I end up saving buying online I make up for in shipping, so nutrient costs remain relatively the same. Other things I can haggle over and I usually get a good deal, won't be buying another ballast from them though thats for sure lol. I'll be going up there this weekend, my plan is to kick off the next harvest next weekend. So hopefully they can have some in for me by then.

Neither did I, just managed to go through it one day and noticed it myself. Like I said though, I'd do the same thing you did and ditch it.

For sure. Yeah I usually support my new favorite local store too. End of the year sale bought a new 600w system with a Daystar AC for like $280. They always have great deals. I think the FloraDuo is so new though they don't have it at my store yet. But tis is the new year.
AN is over hyped in my opinion, not a lot of good has come out of that over priced junk for me ever. GH is my favorite company hands down, simple and easy, always brings my pH down to 5-7 depending on how strong the solution is. No ammonia smells, some of my bloom boosters even have a sugary smell like Liquid Kool Bloom and FloraNectar which in turn make the plants bring out their aroma more.
Anyways I just smoke a few dabs of BHO and I am ranting at this point.
Good day sir.

Funny, I've actually had a little bit easier of a time keeping my pH in the right range with the AN stuff over GH. That was probably the most redeeming quality of the stuff. Every watering was 1 ml of pH down to get me to 5.8-6.0. I did enjoy the liquidity of the nutrients, but I can get that with other brands. Flora Nova is just especially thick, good stuff, but a PITA to work with.
The bud candy didn't smell bad. I had a bottle of liquid koolbloom but I would not be one to call that stuff sugary Still have like 40 lbs of dry kool bloom too lol. I bought that bag last year and I think it will last me 20 more. I'll probably start using it again when I use GH's stuff again, don't really enjoy mixing lines especially if I'm trying to get a feel for how well they perform.

When the AN started smelling like ammonia my pH was still up around 9-10. I have always had a indicator but it was green/teal. Of course I didn't use that much AN nutrients but still. Flora Nova is indeed thick. My mix around 5ml FN Grow/Bloom + 1ml Floralicious plus brings it down to 6. Its when I start going over that line and adding more nutrients, the pH gets lower but its not that hard to work with. Usually .5ml-1ml of pH up will bring it up.
If you don't think the LKB is sugary then you should pick up a bottle of FloraNectar or the new Pineapple Rush version. This stuff is so sweet and makes your plants build up trichomes via 3rd - 4th week of flowering seriously, my leaves were covered at the 4th week and continue to build up. I gave my friend some of the same cut of the strains I have and he doesn't use the Nectar and we can tell the difference in trichome production and smell at certain stages of flowering
Its made up of molasses and sugars that the plant can easily digest.

Sweet, I'll look into that. Bud candy was ok (i guess), nothing that made me want to run out and buy a bottle though. Then again I've never been impressed with any type of carb/sugar supplement.
Final Dry weight ~7 ozs. Disappointing that I can't seem to do much better then an oz per plant with this strain. I know it's not the heaviest yielder, but sheesh, one of my kushberry plants of the same height put out 3 ozs in a single plant. I knew this harvest wasn't going to be the best, but I was hoping i'd squeeze another oz out. Oh well, I have way more then I'll need until next harvest
