OK guys n gals I have to apologize for the dates n week count, this is my first diary I'm trying to catch up with the grow and I'm using the picture detail dates and obviously they're screwed up lol according to the dates these pics were taken two days after the last ones. I'm about caught up with it so it can only get better.... right? We'll find out... I started cooking the soil 5/28 put the sprout in a nursery pot on 6/11 transplant on 6/28 to 5 gallon fabric pot topped n started manifold on 7/7 these dates came from my notes not the pictures with my old man brain I still wouldn't say I'm 100% sure on the dates lol 😜 I am now caught up and will try to keep updating weekly
The latest pictures were taken 7/18 I believe I've got to my goal of 5 tops on each side of the manifold and have topped her the second time and ran soft wire between the two cola starts to pull them back towards the middle a bit in an attempt to fill that normally empty space of your standard manifold
Did a little trimming and readjusted her tie downs, I'll have to add some watts in there pretty soon to help with node spacing as she turns towards the sky 😉
7/29 addon..... I'm thinking I might have to move strawberry over to a different tent to start flower so she doesn't get to big. I was hoping her to sisters would be a little further along and I'd finish veg on the other three in the other tent oh well it will just be a couple weeks.. maybe thr two will get caught up here quickly and I won't have to
8/1 Looks like her sisters are trying to get ready for flower so I will probably leave 🍓 in the big tent and switch the three to flower together once she gets about 15 inches tall hopefully the others are at least a foot tall. Guess we'll see
8/3 I took out all the youngens and added two hrs of dark to get the stretch started I don't want to run into height issues "again" lol the silver haze (right side) is doing ok on size if I can get her to stretch along with the thundersuck on the other side.. The other two were kicked out of the auto hutt I'll post a pic of the autos someday
I decided Fri that 🍓 was tall enough to go 12s to start flower, I was trying to wait for silver (right in pic) to get a little height before switching. I've had haze stretch more than double and didn't want to fight with it later on silver will just be a smaller plant that's easier to deal with lol I took all the other photos out to veg in the 2x4. The two still in there are autos that I would prolly have cut down if there wasn't room for them they've been sickly from day one...
Before switching to flower I stripped 🍓 pretty good (lollipoped) to get the best growth during the stretch and turned the light up to 500w to try n keep the nodes tight. If anything changes during the week I'll post it but if not I'll catch you up next week see ya then 😉
Midweek update.... just wanted to share a couple pics and say that 🍓 has put on 12" in the first 6 days of 12s (12/12 lightschedule) I know silver isn't part of this diary but little silver (right side) put on 8"
Hello again, today is day 9 since I switched the sf7000 to 12s. The day I switched the light schedule the tallest branch was 12" and yesterday when I took these pictures it looks like 27" I would normally switch a haze as soon as I can lollipop it like I did the one to the right of 🍓 it's a silver haze, I allowed 🍓 to go a little long because I was waiting for silver. Anyways I see some pistils on her and I lowered the light a couple inches so hopefully she'll slow down now or I'll have to start supercropping it 🤪 I trimmed/defoliate some of the largest fans off every plant I'm growing we have been getting rain almost daily and the rh has been stupid high I also added a fan to all the tents for increased airflow, mold is definitely a concern right this minute the rh is 79% .... I live in the desert where our rh generally stays under 20% the weather has just been crazy 🤪😳
Till next time,
Cyrus
Update = more pictures and I rearranged my tent had to give a couple other plants a booster seat lol 🍓 is now 34" and 15" from my light with the sf7000 maxed and as high as she'll go, hopefully 🍓 done growing she was 12" at light switch to flower...
🍓 has officially gone crazy 🤪 lol I switched to 12/12 when she was 12" tall and it's now 16 days later and she's 36", I have the sf7000 as high as I can go and it's 11" from the top of my plant. I bought some chain awhile back just in case this happened because I knew I was about to grow some haze plants, I was right and now I will be cutting the chain up and replacing the oem cables. The sf is cranked to max watts 620 and I'm not seeing any burn or any sign of deficiencies, but have a feeling that will change soon without any additional co2 and I don't mess with that crap imo it's a waist of time n money in a small grow. There's no other changes to report we're at the point in the grow of just watching and waiting...

Update = finally cut the chain up and lifted my sf7000 I was able to lift it 6" making the tallest branch 15" from it and 18-20" overall and with it being chain I can take up another link or two if needed
I'm thinking that 🍓 is done with her stretch from 12" to 42" in 23 days that's impressive even for a haze strain. It wasn't from lack of lighting either I had the sf7000 turned all the way up starting the week before I switch the schedule. Now she's getting all budded up and looking like she'll have some nice long colas I will definitely be testing the penitration of the 7000 with this one. I'm about a week away from the second and final top dressing with the Earth Dust Boost all organic living soil dry amendments. I've been growing with this stuff for a little over a year and really like it. Another week in the books thank you all for stopping by and please click 👇 the like button

🍓 Strawberry had a good week, I top dressed it with 20 tbs of Earth Dust Boost it's a dry all organic mix I've been using for a while now I really like it. Living Soil imo is the best way to go, it's the cheapest and easiest way I've ever grown. If you noticed there's no ph or ppm numbers, that's because I don't check any of them, it's great
I fed her a few days earlier than usual because I noticed the leaves staring to lighten up I'm sure it is her long legs eating up all the food 😆 this probably means I will have to give her some tea or even top dress her an extra time because of her size.

Hello, from the southwest US.. 🍓 is starting to gain a little fat and looking good. It was a little bunched up so I tied her back down pulling the branches apart, this will let a little bit more light to get down into the middle of the plant. Another week in the books I'll see you all again next week.... please don't forget that like button down 👇 there on your way out, thanks again
Cyrus
🍓 is such a beast, there's not alot to say this week just been watering and taking a handful or two of leaves every week. The buds are growing well and started to get some sugar on them, they are going to be the typical sativa buds that are very big and fluffy.
I enjoyed your visiting 🍓 please click the like button 👇 on your way home
See yah soon
Cyrus
Another week of flower in the books, 🍓 is looking good you can definitely see the haze in the bud structure they're big fuzzy looking things, they are getting pretty firm though. I lowered the watts a little more I have the sf7000 turned down to 500w now topped out in the tent at about 18" above the canopy, the temperature here is starting to go down a little making nights a little cooler the silver haze next to 🍓 is showing some fall colors so I'm sure 🍓 will do the same soon.

👋 hello everyone not to much happens this late in flower, with the higher humidity I did some defoliation in my 4x4 as well after seeing the little spot on Duck I figured I would trim everyone up a little. That's all folks!! 😆 until next week thank you all for stopping by and please click on the like button 👇 before you go

Late in flower there's not much to say about strawberry, it does look like her pistils are starting to curl so we're getting close.
You know the routine if you would please click on the like button 👇😉
Thanks everyone
Cyrus
So we meet again 😆 🍓's leaves are fading but she's still putting out white pistils but she is curling up the red hairs so we're getting close I'm thinking another 2 weeks.
Please like 👇 and thank you for visiting
Cyrus
Ps... that is Flo in the back with the cool gangsta lean she is in the harvest window so it will be leaving us real soon
Great growing sativa plant and like most it grew like crazy during stretch giving it some nice long colas. The buds are the typical sativa heavy buds that are not fluffy but definitely not rocks. Great fun grow, don't weigh my wet buds will update later
Smoke report = this is a smooth and sweet tasty smoke with a very energetic high with a good amount of pain relief. The only downside to this smoke was dry eyes which was kinda nice I've been fighting allergies dry eyes felt good 😆 🤣
Not sure why there's no place to comment on Earth Dust dry organic nutrients. I'm very impressed that it was able to feed this monster plant in only 5 gallons of living soil. I was worried that the plant was going to want more than the E D could make in a small pot, I actually bought larger pots for future grows because of my worrying but the plant never went hungry... thank you Dan and friends at The Green Sunshine Co
Thank you @Hydro_Hiebs, it's probably one of my top 3 favorite smoke of all time... that said this is the first time I've grown strawberry haze from Greenhouse seeds and my experience says different breeders can be different weed...
Cyrus
Thanks again @Dirty_Hippy, this is two of three seeds the first was amazing and a pretty pink but very disappointing size this one is probably 3x the size, so I'm happy with it so far 😀 thanks again for coming out to visit
