Hi gang,
I do apologize if these photos are sideways resulting in a link in your neck!

here is my Neville’s skunk female, I not got 1/6 female and the males sure did look promising.

i had some issues along the way including bad ph meter and possibly under feeding as I was overly cautious with my first haze being a light feeder, so I vegged for a couple months and just trained/bushed it out.

This one grew pretty tight internodes almost indica dominant until the stretch where it was about 2 - 2.5 x . I have 2 small clones of the same plant and one larger cbd therapy in the same 2x4 tent so a little crowded but overall they seem happy. I’m just giving them water now and letting them bull up.

do you think the Fox tailing is the genetics or something caused by over feeding abit? I noticed a little leaf burn so I may have over done it. Overall the bugs are getting bigger and the smell is beautiful fruity funk that’s hard to describe. Anyway I hope y’all are well and I’ll try to keep this updated as things finish up.

Nice fruity, slinky funk. Hard to pinpoint but I like it!

I did have some mishaps or should I say learning opportunities.

First- I remember an incident where my lovely significant other opened the tent durring dark cycle with all the lights in in the room and turned the fans off. Letting them “breathe” was the reason but I wasn’t clear enough on what not to do, so no harm but it did result eventually in some nanners.

my second error was I let them go a full day too long without water and temps shot up resulting in some dead foliage and some of the buds lost their nice color and look a bit dead.

both are on me and not a result of the genetics. I pulled two smaller ones earlysince they are where I saw the nanners and left the bigger one to go another week or so.

overall the yield looks like it will be exceptional and the smell is still amazing. I’m a little bummed I dropped the ball because I was sooo excited but I’m sure I won’t make those same mistakes again so I’ll chalk it up to a learning experience.I’m confident it will still be great smoke but not to the full potential.

One other fun experiment was I had a clone outside of the same Neville’s skunk that got pollinated by a snowhigh Mexican sativa landrace - Chiapas x Michoacán i believe and the seeds look mature so I’m excited to see what will come of those one day!

also- cbd therapy was an absolute beast and looks/smells amazing!

cheers!
 
Elpolloloco, wonderful job on the Nevil's Skunk my friend! I love the bulging calyxes and for only 1 female, I am very impressed with your results. We all understand that mishaps can and do happen, just chalk it up as a learning experience as I have learned far more from my mistakes than I ever have just getting lucky on the 1st time at bat. Are you planning on keeping this female and growing her again, and do you plan on running more seeds of this strain. Peace and good grows, Tric
 
@triceratops thanks for the kind words. I agree the growth really does come from making mistakes so I’m glad I was able to learn from this one.

no regrow on this yet.

My space is limited so no room for keeping moms for much time.
I do have another pack and plan to revisit for sure because I doubt it was dumb luck and I suspect there are some real gems to be found in this line.

I pivoted to some of the older stock; mns I’ve got some spring cleaning northern widow going and another Mexican landrace from snowhigh - Torreón x Michoacán.

I’ll try to update the northern widow grow shortly.

take care and happy growing!

Hey @Elpolloloco
Did you ever get the Northern Widow in the ground?

Hey Mu,
I hope you’re doing well!
I did get them in the ground last season, or should I say into dirt as they were in pots. Unfortunately we had really heavy mist / fog right when they were chunking up so I got pretty bad bud rot, also partially because of caterpillar damage. I didn’t do a good enough IPM for this suckers. The hazy pheno however was not phased by the moisture and came out fantastic. It also was later to flower so I was able to prevent some of the caterpillar damage.

I can’t wait to get back into them and do a little pheno hunting.
