Had a lot going on this last month so couldn't really update. As soon as I transferred them into the tent, they started flowering. Girls are looking great so far and this grow is just proving out my Hydro Grow Chart. Just following the chart to a T and so far so good.
The size difference is absurd. 2 strawberry autos, same exact environmental factors and identical feeds so I would say this comparison is valid.
Mephisto Strawberry Nuggets - Short, stocky, I been bending the stems to sprawl out the canopy but since its so compact, its hard to get in. I topped this once and have been defoliating the top center. Started weight training, but didnt do much because of low levels of torque. It's super leafy which I'm not a fan of and height wise, I think it's half the size of SB. Ended up crossing her with my s6 just in case surprises happen with the buds.
42 Fast Buds - Strawberry Banana - Stretch is crazy, love the tall and lanky and spread apart lead structure. It will be an easier trim later on. Went through a couple of hiccups and broken stems, fixed with some lollipop sticks. Weigh trained her and was able to drop the canopy down about a foot to even out the canopy. The wingspan (if you could call it that) is 4 feet alone after being dropped. Had to pollinate her too after seeing the structure and bud sites developing.
