Strawberry Cough x SSSDH **Test Grow**

Today i'm growing out some feminized Strawberry CoughxSSSDH by CSG from seed.

i popped the seeds on 2-7. they were cracked by 24hours and in 3 days after popping in soil they were up. into veg box and one week later they had progressed quite nicely.



red sticks day 3.







bout a week later here.

they were vegged for about 5-6 weeks. might have been up to like 8 i wasn't keeping proper track. they lived in these beer cups till i transplanted to final containers.

the medium is a 60/40 mix of coco coir and worm castings. with a little perlite for aeration. i call it cocoganics. or maybe someone else called it cocoganics...i'm calling it that too.

my goal with this grow aside from testing out these beans is to try and go to the bottles as little as possible.

they were getting only plain water and maybe a little molasses to keep the bacteria and little critters in the soil happy. when they look like they might need a boost i use alaska fish for nitrogen and micros, and i use alaska brand kelp for everything else. water in a little epsom salt if they need magnesium, or a slurry of garden lime.

so far i have given them alska fish 2 times, once in week 4 from seed, and another in week3-4. i mix up a gallon and use it till it's gone or turns rancid. maybe 3 watering during the week. i use alaska kelp every 2 weeks just because everyone says it's a good thing to use in all phases. i rely on the minerals mostly for their food.

they started life under a 40w CFL. i think i shits out like 6000 lumens.
then they spent the first 2 weeks of flowering under 70w HPS and then from the 3rd week till now they have been sweating it out under a 100w mH.

week 2 - week 3








red sticks/ left side.


week 4 - week 5






i didn't have enough room to flower them all so i gave one to a friend. i'll post pics when i can get some of the 3rd one.

the 2 i kept are #1 on left and #2 on right. i really like the one on the right. leaves look like strawberry leaves in veg and has a real fruity smell. also branches well, real vigorous both of them.

this is also the day i threw them into the flower box. took about 1 week to sex. #1 really took off, #2 was a little slower to get started.

week 1 in 12/12 they are fem so i'll start this as the first week of flower.



strawdeez #1(working name since OJD didn't name em yet)



strawdeez#2
i fimmed them both in 3rd week of veg they were growing too fast. every plant i fimmed continued growing straight. this is the only one that split. main shoot turned into 2 as well as the next node down branched 2x. all in all theres about 6-10 branches ended up being an even canopy.



side by side.


strawdeez#1


strawdeez#2

my notes say this was 3 weeks of flowering.

more week 3 shots. Strawdeez#2

i transplanted this one into a 1 gallon bag...shit thats what i forgot. the pots i'm using. the square pots are about 1.5 qts. the bag is 1 gallon. i knew this one would need a larger root system to support all that branching.


this is week 4 flower. Strawdeez#1

week 5 flower

blurry cell phone pics. hope to get a real cam soon.

Strawdeez#2



gave them their last shot of nitrogen this week, hope it wasn't too much, the nitrogen in the soil mix should be releasing the last of it in the next few weeks. from here on i'm just gonna use water, and every other day i'll use an ACTea i'm brewing with kelp, molasses, and a pinch of jamaican guano for P and a pinch of epsom salt to keep the magnesium flowing.

and now we're all caught up.

see ya next time.

Strawdeez#2

near end of week 6.

don't seem to have done much in last week, maybe put on a touch more frost. been slowly backing off the last of the nitrogen infused Tea, once thats empty...which was today really. i'm going to just be using plain water, molasses, and a pinch of the soil from one of the pots to get some bacteria to culture in the form of a Tea.

anyway till next time i remember to post.

beginning week 8 then...







strawdeez#1 gonna take at least 2-3 more weeks. tried to show the frostiness but this camera does 0% justice.




strawdeez#2 even frostier than #1, smells really great too like a fruit punch atm, just in the air, not been giving any stem rubs. the yield is gonna blow so hard on this one. looks like it's just about done, i gave it a big ass pot to grow in, and what do i get back? fucking popcorn. the #1 top cola has more weight than all the buds and stems on #2 combined.

dunno if it was a bad pheno or maybe i watered too much or not enough. i don't think it was too often this pot was light as a feather every 2 days. i got like 10 clones, every cut i took seemed to have rooted and they're all in the same pot so...next round i'm gonna grow multiple bushes in one pot...i dunno.

the #1 however i don't think any of those cuts which mostly all rooted are gonna survive since they all got yellowed in the process and are now dying.

i gave food, hopefully they bounce back. the #1 is very chunky and the smell is real skunky/dank fairly speedy too. looks like maybe 3 weeks tops left. if that. the#2 all the pistils have turned and it looks like it might be growing seeds somehow..must have hermed on me. we'll see soon enough. all the trichomes on it however are clear as day.

Some more week8...and... got my camera back in action.



Strawdeez#2



very frosty



looks like it was dipped in sugar


as you can see, yield is virtually 0 on this pheno.




Magic mystery seed. how did this plant get pollinated? the Virgin StrawDeez. i shall call her offspring Deezus.


i will chop it when the #2 is done.

Strawdeez #1 much more ...not disappointing.



as you can see, it's definitely gonna yield more.



smells like a strong garlic smell



not as frosty as #1



but still plenty o frost.

i figure maybe 2-3 more weeks. been on plain water for like a week now. gonna use water and molasses. hopefully get it real funky for the chop.

alright so i chopped #2 the other day, and i'm gonna chop #1 in a day or 2. just sitting in the dark getting dry for now.

managed to root 6 clones from #2 and just 2 from #1. gonna toss one of the #2 in to flower soon as it's ready. maybe another week.

they finish fast, but the yield was shit for the one in the grow bag. when i looked at the roots, same as another grow i did. the roots never spread out from the rootball when i transplanted. 1 quart rootball in 1 gal dirt, doing nothing.















i'll bring pics from #1 when i chop in a couple days.

One of my phenos did throw a few ball sacks during flower and I pinched them off. Just around 3 or 4 when they were in the 4th or 5th week of flower. Mentioned it in my grow log and another tester gave us a heads up in his grow log. He had one or two hermi on him too. Good luck, I hope the smoke is good.

i didn't nee any balls anywhere in veg or flower, i shook all my plants under a bright light when i saw the hairs turned on #2 didn't see any pollen falling. i can't even find the seed i thought i saw in that pic. have to wait till it's dry. i mean they certainly look like seeds, i spent like 30 minutes before i chopped looking for those seeds, nothing on any of the tops, i checked a couple lower buds. but i couldn't remember or find the spot i took that picture.

anyway chopped the ...other plant. i keep switching the names... strawdeez#1? the fuckin tall one, not the bushy one which was already chopped.


i then selected, out of all the pictures i took, 5 for your enjoyment.




It's a little more green than i like my plants to be when i chop em, but it'll be alright.



22 inches from bottom node to top. filled in pretty nicely, stretch wasn't too bad, just about doubled.



purple filter to make the colors pop, and so you can see the trichome coverage better.




pretty frosty, everything with the exception of the major fans got crystalized




ECU of the trichs.

Anyway that's the end of this Test Grow.

All in all these plants are fairly easy to grow, and i got some clones i'll be running for round 2. I'll be back later with a comprehensive smoke report.

before i forget.

pop 2-7
up from dirt 2-10
into veg 2-14
flower day 1 3-28 (not sure about this now since i read in my other thread i called 4-17 week 5 flower)
chop #2 5-24 / #1 5-28
61 days flower for #1/ 57 days for #2
103 days from seed.


checked and double checked all the little bit of notation i took on this grow. doesn't sound right but yep. 61 days and they're done. the smoke will tell if i should let em go longer next time. they certainly look done. all cloudy and some amber roughly 5-10%

*edit* well since i only made this thread when the grow was almost done and i updated my other thread in real time. i'm gonna have to revise my flowering times.

approximately 70 days for #1 and 66 days for #2

ok i think i'm ready for some math now.

sprouted 2-7
week 1 v-day
day 1 flower 3-21
day 70 5-23
day 75 5-28

Strawdeez#2 which went 70 days before i chopped.



this one came out to be mostly popcorn. undetermined yet as to this is just how it grows or i fucked up. i'm leaning towards i fucked up though since it had all the symptoms of cold roots. even though the pot always dried out really fast. that's what i get for using coco in a cloth sack to grow.





really leafy, like really, but also really frosty, still not sure if the #1 is more frosty, it's a different beast.



these are 2 weeks in the jar, or so. might be closer to 3. smell is wonderful on jar crack. you have to be a little far from it to appreciate the smell right now. still curing. smells like a jar of orange marmalade. seriously go get a jar and smell it. thats the smell.

the high is pretty stony to my surprise. not really a muscle relaxing body high, it's really in the head kinda makes you feel slow. then bout an hour in you start feeling real drowsy. definitely not daytime weed. i was so pissed at work the other day. i wanted nothing but to go home and sleep.

the taste is very light on the tongue and fruity. nothing distinct yet, i'll have to smoke it in a joint or something. smoke is very smooth. i'm coming off a bronchitis adventure and it didn't even make me cough. i felt the tickle but i didn't really NEED to cough.



just threw this back into flower a few days ago.

i took like 8 cuttings and stuck em in a 3 inch pot, all of em rooted. i'm talking this was the larf at the bottom i chopped and halfheartedly stuck into the dirt. everything came up with roots in 1 week or less. i had to trash a couple, and double pot a couple. didn't expect ALL of em to root. this plant is hardy i tell you that.



this one got funny. i dunno why lol. fasciated stem. as it matures they are splitting off back into regular branches. crazy shit lol.
gonna run em again at least once hopefully the yield is there in regular moisture holding plastic sided pots, not that airy cloth bag plants be dry every single morning shit.

well that's my interpretation of a grow report for CSG(connoisseur genetics) StrawberryCoughxSuperSilverDieselHaze (still no official name)
or as i call it Strawdeez pheno#2

Strawdeez pheno#1

this one was polar opposite from #2, went a little longer, only recorded 5 days between chops but i could have taken the #2 a week or 2 earlier in all actuality. this one yields double easily. in that scenario. maybe even more in future. the #1 had a 1-1.5 quart pot. the #2 had a whole gallon in an airpot.

the smell on this one pretty hard to describe. it's like coffee, cocoa, chocolate, mocha all blended. not unpleasant at all, it's quite delicious.
the taste is kinda spicy and earthy, on exhale there's this what i've always referred to as "Kush" taste. lol all this time i guess it was diesel flavor. so i thank you OJD from the bottom of my heart for letting me know what diesel tastes like.

the high is real relaxing but not sleepy. you think a lot, makes you feel good really is all i can think. i'm smoking some right now. sun seems to be shining just for me. daytime smoke i guess you can call this. not making me wanna get back in bed like the #2.



i usually don't do this much manicuring on my buds. if it's got frost it stays on. but after taking off...




this many bud leaves...



i'm left with this. i chose the smallest bud to manicure since like i said i usually just crumble it all and smoke it.

it's very frosty. maybe as frosty as #2, but certainly 70% less leaf. but it's a different kind of frost. more like a layer of fuzz, and the trichomes on the #2 stick up much more prominently.


i thought i took some closer macros



but i did not. and my photoshop is acting up. maybe i can get one later.

anyway that's a wrap for this thread. officially. any future grows for this will be in my personal grow thread. click the hardmode.

macro of sorts.

i ran the StrawDaze again. much better this time around. yield is still very low, but filled in a lot more than in the grow bag. no more grow bags for me.




mutant pheno/cut



2 in one pot.


this one went 80 days this time


this one did 66-70 or so.


Ciao.

those new ones look real tasty and good. Great job. Mine have been jar curing since early march. I'll burn one for you tonight. Peace and respect.

Looks tasty!
