Week 4 update - start of the week and I hope ur ready for what comes next because what I’ve done to this poor girl is truly vicious. We know she responds to stressors but we also know she recovers relatively quickly - nows the time to start forming out our manifold so we topped ‘er and stripped her down like an overly violating prison search. She was 4.5” tall and now she’s back to about 2”. I can see why Spliff says shes good on a scrog. The nodal spacing is tight and really uniform development in the growth tips under the main. I probably would’ve immediately gone with a scrog after seeing this but I just don’t have the setup for it right now - ie. runoff tray and fitted screen. Construction has officially commenced. Alas, her growth and response to transplant has been great so far, so we’re not overly worried about the stress. She should pull through just fine🤞👍. Thanks for stopp’n in and take’n a peek👊 May 13 update - 24 hours post strip and she’s back to pray’n like mad. Appears to have taken to it like a champ. Think she’s gonna be a quality plant👍😎 May 15 update - growth of the remaining 2 tips has accelerated noticeably. It’s really impressive how well this plant has adapted to the stress of being stripped down. Just good genetics IMO👍. Feeds May 12 - 1L grow nutes May 14 - 1L grow nutes May 16 - 1L grow nutes Background We grabbed ourselves some Spliff Strawberry and it’s gonna be receiving the prime real estate in the new grow space for this cycle. She’s about 80% sativa and a mix of strawberry cough x skunk x Jack Herer... so we’re naturally all over this one. The last time we grew Jack Herer we were Ignorant of how awesome a strain it was and ended up getting blown away on the first hit. She’s gonna be mainlined on what will likely be an 8 week veg. Period next to her neighbour 707 Headband. This run will be our summer indoors just so that we have a couple of plants that are guaranteed to see harvest. With the weather these days, you’re never gonna be guaranteed of that. Comments, questions and discussion are welcomed as always and thanks very much for stopp’n in and take’n a look👍😎👊.

@TheBudWhisperer, I had some plants in veg during that time and they seemed to have a growth spurt. That was the only thing I thought was different. I figure a humidifier and small heater. We'll see.
TheBudWhisperer
TheBudWhisperer
@BarrieGrower, good idea if u can. Indoors it’s made a huge difference for my grows but just dumb luck (or bad luck) due to heatwaves. I’ll take it - without the bud rot next time hopefully🤞

@TheBudWhisperer, I know, it's been beach weather. Sucks for growing. The plants do look great though. Seeing this I am definitely going to try to up my humidity during veg, it seems to make a difference.

@MG2009, cheers buddy - honestly, she’s gonna be one of those crazy, big yield grows I think. Nothing stops this plant and I just wish I’d had time/opportunity to scrog her. Oh well - we’ll just go with untamed, wild jungle instead and pray for limited leaf density👍😂

Doing the same manifold with 5 shoots per side again?
TheBudWhisperer
TheBudWhisperer
@MovingOn, lol! The epic battle between science and anecdotal evidence continues! Lol. There’s so many factors that go into it but you pretty much explained my conundrum here. My own research suggests the same; that there’s a happy medium between pruning/defo and letting live - usually driven by common sense. That said I think you convinced me to just let er go and see what happens. One way or the other I know it’s gonna be a great grow regardless👍😎

@TheBudWhisperer, well, I wish I weren't so much of a noob still, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt, but a lot of botanical science material (by actual botanists vs. closet growers with anecdotal opinions) that I have been reading lately favors less pruning and defoliation. So even if you have a mess, as long as your plant(s) can have an undercurrent of air at their feet, the yield is generally better than if you removed parts of the plant excessively. So that's kind of where I'm at right now, I'm going to limit my pruning and defoliation and just see what happens. I had to cut my veg time significantly this time around, so it will be a good experiment for me anyway. I'm going to compare my 4 week veg yield with a fim on my current grow to the 11 week manifold yields from my previous grow. There are other factors affecting the grow too, so I have to be cautious of my assessments either way, but it will be a good experiment nonetheless. On a side note, I've seen people just use string strung across their tents as a makeshift screen. You would have lines instead of a screen grid, but it works the same. Or maybe even using the bottom section of a tomato cage can help you spread out the shoots. Anyways, best of luck whatever you do!

@MovingOn, that was the plan but this thing branches like crazy so now I’m not so sure. It’s leggy and don’t think it’ll grow dense so I might consider letting the other side branches on each shoot extend out instead of cutting em off🤷‍♂️. So 25ish colas instead of 10???🤔🤔🤔. That could turn into a hot mess real quick so I’m gonna wait a little and see how it develops. Honestly - this plant was made for a scrog and I wish I had the time to fabricate a net and get a drainage pan under the pot. If staying manifold would you keep it simple at 5 a side or gamble with the hot mess and see what happens? I’ll take a poll on that question from everyone! 😂

After my current grow I'm going to be doing a GHSC white strawberry skunk as half of my first actual sativa grow. Sticking with the low growers for the time being though since I'm still a noob. Good luck with your strawberry, Bud!

@TheBudWhisperer, I also just added some headspace. Ordered a 1ft (30cm) extension to my Gorilla Grow Lite. It seems to help with some of the heat dissipation as well.

@MovingOn, and cheers and thanks again buddy! Yeah I’m super stoked with my new space. I finally have the headroom to get in trouble with some stretchy sativas so gonna make the most of it for sure. 😎
