Strawberry Cough (Biobizz Organic Soil)

THC - 15 - 20% 20% Indica/ 80% Sativa This was an enjoyable grow as it was my first time growing fully organic. Solid genetics by Dutch Passion. Not the typical lanky Sativa phenotype and quite easy to manage the canopy. But I still needed bamboo stakes to support the heavy buds. This was also my first self built automated watering/ drainage system. It was exactly what I needed because if I had to manually water them, I would surely have spilled the nutrient water everywhere and fishy smell for days. One of my complains on organic nutrients. The other would be fine tuning Biobizz nutrient doses based on plant symptoms. Unlike synthetic nutrients like GHE Flora Trio, it's quite challenging to add or decrease certain nutrient to correct the plant issues. On top of that, growing in soil made it even more difficult to identify and correct malnutrition. I'm not criticizing Biobizz, just personal preference. I prefer more control and faster recovery from training. I shouldn't have gone for mainlining while growing in soil. The recovery period took much longer than in coco or DWC. I'm more confident now that 36 hours of darkness prior to flip sends a strong signal for flowering. This is the third grow I've tried it and consistent result where all plants starts flowering the same time. This makes it much easier during harvest time. The smell during grow was only noticeable when I accidentally touched the buds. Mainly fruity. 4 plants after drying for 10 days came to a total of 531g. Quite pleased with yield.🙂 The buds are dense and thick. Used a dry herb vape for first smoke test. Fruity and spices aroma. Good head rush initially then plateaus after about 2 hours later. Immediate noticeable effect is boost of energy and calmness. Creativity is improved and more social as well. The only unfavorable effect is dry eyes. No paranoia or anxiety. Otherwise Strawberry Cough is awesome! So my impression on full organic grow is just meh. I was expecting stronger terpene profile but I dont see much difference compared to synthetic nutrients. This wasn't a side by side grow comparison to give more objective view but would I grow full organic again? Not anytime soon. So far after trying various growing methods, I'm most comfortable in coco. With automated watering/drainage system, I can still leave the plants for few days, maybe up to a week. AND maintain high frequency fertigation
