Indoor Five's Auto Garden - Bloody Skunk Auto & Big Devil Auto

[FiveToMidnight]

I did 10 different strains and the Bloody skunk was the first plant to show clawing as i strengthened nutrient doses. Seems mine was a bit sensitive to nutes for the first 20 days

Same with mine! I've used the same nutes at the same strengths for the past 3 grows but BS was the first to react like this. Just goes to show every plant is different. I like that you had similar results to mine though, means it wasn't all me causing the problem lol

Very interesting indeed!! After a few feeds(say around day 30 somewhere) i put her back with the rest of the plants strength mix and she had no problem since.

That's good to know, I'll try the same in the next week or so

Update:

Same old in this garden however I think it looks like another two weeks until flush. Would love some opinions on that though.

Bloody Skunk - I'm loving the colour of this girl even though she is a bit of a stick figure. Hopefully I can get a good one growing in the future!

Update:

Girls are 10 weeks old and are looking pretty close to harvest time. I took some trich pics today and from what I can see most are still pretty clear, although it's really hard to tell on the Bloody Skunk cause of her colour.
Big Devil looks a little more cloudy but I don't think she is ready yet.

Let me know what you guys think and how long they might need.

Update:

Sorry about the delay guys but I've been holidaying in Colorado for a couple of weeks. I had a mate watering the girls in the mean time but just with plain water so they would be ready for harvest when I returned.
Harvest has been done now and all buds are hanging in the dry box. Not sure if it was too late or too early to harvest but the girls are 14 weeks old so I think they should be well past due.
Bloody Skunk looks like she was ready about a week or more ago but I can't really tell with the Big Devil. I think she looks like she is well ready but you guys can let me know what you think.

Also, this time I washed about half the buds on each plant and left the other half unwashed to see if there is a difference in taste or potency. I know people have had this lab tested and shown no loss of potency but I'm curious to see for myself and also to see if I may be doing it wrong.

Anyways, here are the last pics of the girls so please enjoy, although the pics didn't turn out the best, sorry.

Final Update:

So yields weren't great but I was expecting that. We got just over 2 ounces from the Big Devil (not so big this time lol) and about 20 grams from the Bloody Skunk.
I can't complain about the quality though, both plants are very potent, have great smells and great taste.
Bloody skunk has a very skunky/earthy smell but has a very spicy, almost peppery taste. It gives a nice relaxing head high that seems to last for a good while.
Big Devil on the other hand is much more sativa like. It has a more fruity smell and taste but also gives a nice relaxing head high but with a bit more of an uplifting feeling.

All in all I'm happy with the sample I received and will definitely try growing these strains again, just under better conditions next time. I belie the issues were down to the environment, particularly the temperature fluctuations. Temps were anywhere between 15-30 celcius and I think this really stressed them, especially since this was happening since their birth.

Next time should be much better so see below for link to new journal!
