Four Peaks from Trichome Bros is the name given to a cross between Chernobyl (Slymer Cut) and Sour Strawberry Pie #7. This was a couple of freebie seeds from another order. I planted three, with two of them germinating. %66 Germination Rate.

Germination Method: Directly in ProMix HP CC in seedling trays on a seedling heat mat and covered in a humidity dome.

Both plants were topped on the 12th of January, marking the start of the Veg cycle. These cultivars are similar to another cultivar from the Four Peaks line from Trichome Bros in that the bottom of the stems are weak. This is most likely due to the top-heavy growth in this strain at the seedling stage.

Our weather was could and dry throughout the week which allowed me to dial in the VPD a little better. It was obvious by the uptake in nutrients they've been drinking. One plant seems to be growing faster than the other, almost like a male.

As mentioned on the Four Peaks grow diary, the stems are hollow like the Chernobyl lineage she comes from. LST is difficult and I need to watch these plants daily, adding LST clips as soon as I have the distance between nodes to do so.

I am continuing to LST and defoliate. So far, they have taken nutrients during every feeding, without showing any signs of stress or burning.

During this vigorous growth period I am continuing to LST, although I have backed off the FloraGro (2-1-6) nutrient by 5ml per gallon. I have also topped again this week. I am tempted to begin flowering one of these two plants, but I am still not comfortable with the stability at the stump. I currently have it propped up with wire and have watered lightly around the top-outter edges of the pot with Clonex, attempting to get more surface roots.
I like hearing how other growers solve problems, so if you have any tips on rescuing a plant that might has week surface root structure after transplanting, let me know in the comments.

The stump is strengthening, though I think this plant will require crutches it's entire life. The top-heavy nature of this cultivar requires attention in the seedling stage with lower-than-average (distance to plant) lighting to shorten vertical growth while the stalk strengthens.
2025-02-23 to 2025-03-01
With a final LST/Defoliation session, I put one of the two plants into flower on 02-23. If I had more room in the flowering tent, I would add both of them as the Trichome Bros. seeds are extremely affordable, and If I decide I like the results of this "Freebie Grow", I will order more of this cultivar.
