This strain just screams strawberry fire. The grow was going great until the powdery mildew took hold in the tent. I tried cutting off affected leaves, but I could not stop it. I ended up chopping them down a bit early because of it, and of course the overall quality will suffer. But even with the early chop this is a very promising strain. The terps are amazing, reeking of strawberry. The density was way up there, and the colors were perfect. One of them did herm on me, but after ripping off all balls I could find for a couple weeks I didn't find any more and the grow carried on as expected. All in all this is a wicked strain, but I'd recommend it only for more experienced growers who can really keep the environment dialed in and can handle herms when it happens.
Just wanted to say good luck! I am also in the grow off. I am fairly new to growing so pretty confident that I won’t place in the competition but it is so much fun to see what everyone else does. So once again good luck and I hope to see you at the finish line.
@tteague75, that's awesome man. I'm sure I won't place either since both of these girls will be pretty small and won't have as much eye candy. Also we are up against some really top notch growers. But in the end it's a nice twist to the usual process. Gonna be tons of fun seeing how it all ends up.
