Hi im currently nearly at the end of my first grow...been much more successful than i couldve hoped for...so far!!.. but once i chop these I want to get something else in and hopefully be ready for xmas...so basically late sept...will give me 12 weeks or so..anything i can veg for 2-3 n will flower in 8-9?

Does lemon skunk veg enough in 2-3 weeks, n stretch enough in flower to give me a decent amount of quality smoke...any suggestions welcome...I know all seedbank timescales are rough estimates..(believe me i know..as im in week 7 of easy ryder..n wont be finishing anytime soon lol.gif)

my other question is...has anyone grown both ghs lemon skunk and DNA genetics lemon skunk..and is there a noticeable difference..in quality/yield etc..im growing in coco..wilma drip feed 400w son-t pro (for now, i have a 2nd hand 400hps..will that help my plants in the final weeks..or should i just leave the brand new son-t in??) 6" high power RKV for exctraction and 6" RKV for INtaKE..plus an oscillating fan..but no fan controller as yet.
hoping that once i cut my current first grow..(dont laugh...easy ryders!!) (3-4 weeks)..i can whack 4 new beans in and have em ready for chrimbo...am i asking to much??..any suggestions on quality beans..dont mind price..or yield..much prefer a quality smoke. ( oh and dont worry..doubt ill ever grow autos again unless guerilla style wink1.gif

all a bit of a mish mash this post..but still in work..so havent had my wake n bake yet tongue.gif

thanks in advance!!

I don't know much about those strains, but seed to weed in 3-4 months is highly do-able spliff.gif

You could reveg your flowering girls too, but you can write off a month with that, it takes a while but works.

good luck with the growings biggrin.gif

well said ollie. ive planted my seeds before my grows finished before and just left them sat on a chair near a window in a spare bedroom till the tents ready for them, you get a bit of stretch but that can be sorted on the next pot up wink.gif .

cant help you strainwise, everything ive run seems to take8/9 weeks min

thanks for all your advice.. will check out sweetseeds..but dont know why i didnt think about starting some more before this ones over...havent got a vegging space, but sure i can knock somehting up that will keep em alive before they reach the growroom!

With my newbie project it was 16 weeks from opening the seed pack to chopping them and they got 10 weeks of 12/12.

Veg with all the light you can get. Using 600w instead of my usual 400w dropped veg time by at least a week. If I did the same grow again, I'd be planning on going to flower 5 weeks after starting the beans.

Another option is sometimes called 'The Dutch Method', you start them 12/12. It is strain dependant so do some research. Takes 12 to 14 weeks iirc.

Why not try fem super skunk from sensi , grown it out a few times , usualy
no more than 8 weeks , i start mine off 3-4 weeks under a double 2 foot
flouresent tubes , and when ive chopped my flowering ones i only need
a couple of weeks under hps before i flick , saves me a few weeks
every time , i just keep the seedlings in the corner of my bedroom
out of the way smile.gif good luck with what ever strain you go with.....

I'm in a similar situation atm. My cali hash has about two weeks to go, and my white widows a few weeks after that. I'd like something planted and budding for a nice Christmas tree as well smile.gif
I've been having a look through different seedbanks and ones that have caught my eye so far are :

THSeeds Burmese Kush (fem)
- Genetics : Burmese Kush x OG Kush
"A short but phat plant with a flowering time of only 7 1/2 weeks, making it one of the fastest T.H. Seeds strains. To create this mean machine, we`ve crossed the authentic Burmese Kush with the O.G. Kush from L.A. which is without a doubt the hottest thing being passed around in Cali right now. BUKU has got that great Kush flavor & high and all a grower could wish for. Bound to become one of your garden & stash favorites... Keep that Kushline expanding!"

DNA's L.A. Confidential (fem)
- Genetics : O.G. LA Affie x Afghani
"The LA Confidential Cannabis Seeds are great for medicinal use as they relieve pain and help insomnia. For the everyday user, the high of this herb is psychedelic and energetic, with a hammer. This girl is a heavy eater. There are two real phenotypes of the Confidential and they will both finish in 45-56 days. One is a bit more hardy, but both equal in knock down drag out stone. Preveg'ing is advised to maximise the yield."

Dinafem also seem to do a lot of short flowering strains. I'm growing a cali hash plant froma free seed from them which is almost ready @ 34 days, it looks so much more swollen than my WW's. They have a blue hash, blue widow, and the one I like the sound of is

Shark Attack
- Genetics : Super Skunk x White Widow
- Flowering Time : Short, Medium
- Outdoor Harvest : 50-55 days
- Height : Short, Medium
- THC Level : 12% - 16%
"This powerful Indica/Sativa offers up a triple delight. The East Indian dominance of this plant is important for three reasons; the white resin layer that it produces, the medicinal effect, and its intense aroma and flavor. Like fine hashish, is effective, powerful and pleasant. A short, stout, plant, requiring about 55 days to finish flowering. We recommend leaving it in total darkness the last five days to bring forth the rich aroma and extra resin production. "

I'm still looking though, not buying seeds until payday. Let me know if you find a nice short-flowering strain!
Has anyone used these breeders before, which is the best? Only used Ceres seeds and Dinafem before (only on my first grow).

Thanks for the tip! Had a look at the subforum and it looks like a great wee plant biggrin.gif

I just ordered 5 GP seeds, can't wait for their arrival.
