B-52

A truly superior skunk selection. Grows with heavy buds. Top variety for commercial skunk grower. As with other Skunks, superior sweet taste and aroma, the well known Sativa influence is detected in its high. Super fast for a skunky strain.

Somewhat tall and lanky. Average plant height was about 18 inches

The high is not for the inexperienced. In Switzerland I found myself watching VH1's Best of the 80's, and completely bugged out, I curled up fetal position in my bed, too high to even pass out, heart racing wondering what the hell reefer I just smoked. I didn't smoke alot of it, I wasn't drinking... It was just really powerful. Later I grew it out for myself and had similar experiences. The high goes very well with music, almost too well. There were many times where I would smoke a bong or two of B-52 and pop in my favorite MMW album, UnInvisible. Half the time I couldn't make it past track 7 before getting so deep into the music that it would freak me out and I would have to stop the CD. If you smoke after 11pm, you probably won't fall asleep until 3am.

I was very impressed with the ease of this grow. From germination to harvest I didn't encounter a single problem other than one hermaphrodite which occurred too late into the flowering cycle to effect any of the other plants. This entire grow was conducted under a combination of soft white and warm white compact fluorescent lights using The Inline CFL Method with a Diagonal SCROG. The average plant height was reduced using a warm color spectrum during vegetative cycle to accommodate the 26 inches of vertical grow space. Average plant height was about 18 inches, and they each produced one giant cola that was so dense it absorbed all of the smaller buds turning each plant into one giant bud. I was completely flabbergasted. My friends couldn't believe their eyes, and later after I told them this grow was conducted exclusively under compact fluorescent lighting those eyes damn near shot out of their respective sockets and hit the wall; however, I was prepared to duck and take evasive maneuvers since the same thing happened to me from my own prior disbelief.

Bloom Wattage Used: 410w to 1000w
Plants per Sq. Foot: 13.00
Average Yield per Plant: 1.00
Pruning or Plant Style: Screen of Green SCROG
Fertilization Method: Mix of chemical and organic

The grow space is six feet wide, 24 inches deep, and 26 inches high. The lighting consists of one 72 inch TrippLite power strip with a built in 20 amp breaker to protect the 16 20 watt soft white compact fluorescent lights and the 8 42 watt warm white CFL's attached by the use of plug in socket adapters. Overall power consumption in 656 watts. This setup dictates an output of 40,000 lumens distributed evenly at just over 6,600 lumens per square foot as measured from one foot away from the source. The surrounding walls are coated with a mylar surface for maximum reflectiveness. These plants were grown in 1 gallon pots using a soil mixture of Super Soil, 30 percent Perlite, and 5 percent organic matter. Plants were watered on an ass needed basis and were fed liquid ironite flower food, with a dash of H202 (promote root health) and Distilled Vinegar (acetic acid to regulate Ph and aide in the breakdown of organic matter) with each watering.
