W1ck was that Strawberry Cough from clone? If so was it potent, strawberry taste?

I ran Dutch Passion's fem SC and didn't like it, too weak bad taste. So I picked up some Elite Super Strawberry Diesel and have 4 flowering now.

Hrm to be honest, I have a friend of a friend that grows several strains at a time and they are usually clone only, but a crazy pheno that they selected from seeds.

So, I believe the strawberry cough is a crazy pheno they selected and produced over and over.

It wasn't super duper strawberry, but it had an undertone of strawberry and was very, VERY potent. I'm talking 4-5 hits got me extremely high, soaring into the clouds with conversations flowing.

Sweet.

I guess we've got to get lucky or germinate a lot of beans to find a pheno like that.

The buds are starting to fill out a bit, 5 weeks in on a 9 week plant.

The plants are all getting the same lighting, nutes, water and the buds are developing differently. Here's the 3 phenos, the indica on the left with buds up to 5 inches; the mid in the middle with buds up to 9 inches; and the sativa pheno on the right with up to 16" branches that have wispy buds.

Between and behind the 3 plants are 2 litre pop bottles.



.

My camera work is horrible, I've got a camera stand around somewhere - I'll dig it out for the next set. These two are top views of the indica phenos. I counted 39 bud sites on the outer circle only on one, and I may have missed some.





.

The mid pheno.



.

And the Sativa pheno.



.

The Flo (front) with the Sativa Super Strawberrie Diesel. The Flo is from Dutch Passion's hall of horrors. Today is day 50, it's hermieing, picked 2 or 3 dozen bananas today. I'll treat with Reverse and Penatrator tonight.

It's the Flo that's hermieing, a Dutch Passion feminized strain. I've had more trouble with Dutch Passion feminized seeds - I've grown their Blueberry, Strawberry Cough, Taiga and now Flo. All but Taiga have hermied, taiga is a ruderalis cross. They've taken DJ Shorts amazing genetics and bastardized them into instruments of mental torture.

I found the camera stand and I'll take some close ups of the bud tomorrow.

I'd love to try growing Mental Floss and Flo.

lilj I bent the stems horizontal to the ground then around the rim of the bucket. Only the branches grow straight up, often the entire branch is a solid cola. On all the indica dominant plants even the tallest branches are bud from stem to tip already - 5 weeks 12/12.

With a 12" diameter bucket and a double topped plant we get 38" around the outside of the bucket and 6" out from the center 4 times, plus the 4 cola tips pointing up.

62 inches of stem give ...(?)... bud sites. I'll count bud sites on a plant or two tonight.

I drill holes in the bucket rim and use twist ties to slowly bend the stems in. It takes a week or so to get a plant in a circle grow, then we have to fold the leaves under the buds so all the buds get light. So far I've found double topped plants (4 cola) to be the easiest to bend, and I find it easier to bend older branches that don't crease when bent slightly.

This is my second grow doing this, I did it on my first grow years ago. I Had great results the first time around and these 6 are looking good too.

Those look great Kemnon, very sativaish.

.

Here's the Sativa pheno ~16" colas with the mid-pheno to the left.



.

Indica pheno from the top.



.

The other indica pheno in the corner. A piece of the Kali Mist to the left.



.

I'm starting to train a new Bubblegum - double topped to 26" & 24". It'll take about a week to bend it safely, got to watch for creasing.



.

Another angle.



.

This is a Flo that I burnt the leaves and buds. I think it's from a poorly mixed solution of Reverse and Penatrator I was using to stop the hermieing. I believe that I used about 5 times as much Penetrator as I should have, mixed a small batch for one plant and used a full batch portion of Penetrator.

It also could have been from fertilizer burn, so I flushed with 5 gallons of clear water. I have 6 other plants feed on the same mixture so unless Flo is really fert sensative, which it might be being from the blue family, it's probably not the problem.

The other possibility I ruled out is burning the leaves, but I sprayed the Reverse out side the grow room so the liquid would have longer to absorb before it evaporated. I misted 3 times after the leaves dried to be sure there was nothing left on the leaf. There were dead and burned leaves in the shade, so I don't think the problem was burn from the light being prismed.

I duct taped my camera to an old video camera stand I had kicking about and got a few decent pictures. Some still blurry, a Flo two stem that looks like a 4 stem.

.

This is the Bubblegum that I started training 8 days ago (pic 1), I was pretty much done training the stem yesterday (pic 2).

Super Strawberry Diesel mid (left) and sativa phenos. Between and behind the two is a 2 liter ice cream container for size comparrison.

.

24 inch Big Laughing that will produce 2.5 - 3 oz.



,

Comparative side view of the Bubblegum (left) mentioned above and a Bubblgum X Kali Mist cross I bread. I'm going to all it Kaligum.

I took a Kali Mist clone and planted it in about a third of the area of a 5 gallon bucket. Then I waited 4 weeks and planted a Bubblegum clone in the other half - and do you know why I waited 4 weeks? So they'd finish at the same time man! What kind of strain doesn't finish at the same time, hard to imagine.

Anyway, the plant is knarly like its showing both it's bubblegum and Kali Mist characteristics - mixed in the middle but more individual to each side. I'm hoping that there's some variety in the type of bud too, that'd be sweet.

Wicked knarly strain, cup winner for sure.



.

And finally this is a Flo clone, about 10" high. I'm going to veg it to 19" and apply reverse once a week for 3 applications, see if I can keep it from hermieing like last time.
