Strawberry Cough from seed by Hazeman

Out of 12 seeds (a full pack) planted, I ended up with only three girls. After I lost three seedlings in Week 2, six of the remaining nine were males. Bummer. So I culled four males and put two outside for pollen production. Male SC#4 was selected because he was last to flower and the only male that was sativa leaning. Male SC#7 was selected based on its having the most pungent berry smell when the petioles were rubbed. The seed-based sexing experiment resulted in a dismal 40% prediction success rate, although I probably did mix up a couple labels when I dropped the tray of seedlings in Week 2. However, I still think it’s an experiment that bears repeating, so I’ll try it again. These plants are taking their time in flower…I’m predicting a full 12-week flowering cycle for this grow. The SC#6 and #11 runt plants still look like they’d appreciate a higher dose of nutes, so I’ll probably up the feeding next week. Temps in the tent are a bit higher than I’d like due to some hot and humid summer weather, but humidity is under control and I’m not buying an air conditioner for my plants.
