Seriotica/Strawberry AK Indoor Grow

Crisintar Germinated 2x Seriotica, 1x Super Lemon Haze and 1x Strawberry AK. Strawberry AK did not really grow as fast as the others though (top right corner)

Crisintar Serioticas and SLH do go well, Strawberry AK showed some issues and still grows slower than the rest. So I decided to germinate one more Strwaberry AK (bottom right). Did some topping and LST on the Serioticas, the SLH and the first germinated Strawberry AK on the top right corner.

Crisintar Put all plants in 3 Gallon Pods and put them in the tent under the big light at 50%. Two Plants on the left: Serioticas Middle Plant: SLH Two Plants on the right: Strawberry AK

Crisintar Plants growing bigger. Still doing LST on all of them.

Crisintar Getting super bushy under the big light.

Crisintar Did some defoliation.

Crisintar All Plants seemed to like the defoliation and are growing strong again.

Crisintar First week of 12/12.

Crisintar Buds are showing up.

Crisintar Everything going well, plants are healthy and happy. I thought. But then I noticed the one Strawberry AK (that I germinated a bit later, and did not top) developped pollen sacks, so had to remove that one. The SLH had some suspicious knots as well, so I was uncertain about her as well, still left her in the tent for now. Did some more and last defoliation on the last 4 remaining plants.

Crisintar Sadly, I removed the SLH as well as the risk of contamination was too high for me, which is really sad, as I love this strain so much and was really looking forward for that one. Still, we are now left with the two Serioticas and the one, very first Strawberry AK that was looking weak at the beginning. One of the Serioticas starts to turn leaves into some kind of purpleish color. Frosting begins as well.

Crisintar Put another 100w light into the tent. Plants are budding up a lot now.

Crisintar Smooth Sailing now. Everything frosty, happy, healthy. Smell is there.

Crisintar Everything going well. The Serioticas have like a really sweet, doughy scent, one sweeter than the other one, but both really yummy. Strawberry AK definetely has some kind of strawberry like smell, but not as hefty as the Serioticas. The smaller Seriotica starts to develop some pink/purple colors.

Crisintar Really fat buds now. Smell is super nice and everything super frosty. Fall is here, you can tell.

Crisintar Sadly, detected some Botrytis in the middle of one bud of the Strawberry AK. Removed it and it was the only one affected, as I can see so far. The rest is looking super nice though. Smell is now very pungent and amazing.

Crisintar Harvested the Serioticas today. Hopefully everything will work regarding the drying process, as the weather is kind of warm these days. Trichomes are super big, milky and some even brown. Did no trimming at all for now. Will leave the Strawberry AK for one more week, as too many trichomes are still more on the clear side.

Crisintar More or less spontaneously I decided to harvest the Strawberry AK today, eventhough a lot of Trichomes are still clear, a lot of them are already brown. The thing is: This plant was slow from the start, had issues already to let go off the seed skin. At some point in late veg/start of flower I thought it is doing great, but then it never really developed those big, rich trichomes we are all looking for. The the budrot…did the rest maybe. Long story short: I found some Bananas in one bud today, and I think that’s the explanation. The plant did not put all focus on developing trichomes and get potend. Still, I already smoked some fast dried flowers from that plant, which I had to remove last week in order to ged rid of the fungus. And what can I say, it still is a decent high, super sativa like, taste and smell are quite nice, but as it’s not cured or anything like that, it’s hard to say what the final product will taste like. Sadly, it does not last super long - quite sure that‘s because of the lack of potency. I don’t know if it was me or the genetics, maybe both 😅 still super thankful to learn and grow on. Thanks for following me along and I hope you enjoyed it. Cheers Crisintar
