Spring/Summer Log #3860435

TrichoJordan13 Strawberry Markers are the typically some of the taller plants I saw during this series. Early on they get purple on the underside of their leaves which is really common and isn't a deficiency of any type. Smells are usually pretty mild with muted velvet notes of candy. Here they are growing in soil which is unusual for any of my runs because I am partial to rockwool but occasionally use different mediums when I run out or am in a bind. Still, they did well. Vegging Forbidden Cherry and Blue Permanent Power also went fairly straight forward without any issues. Blue permanent power tends to carry the same nose as Strawberry Marker as the mother is the same, but a big difference exists. While SMarker tends to have the candy nose BPP still carries the muted velvet notes but pulls a scent that stings the nose. It smells like blue raspberries and kush which stems from the father's side in Blue Power. Though the father was also a pretty squat plant, most phenos tend to lean towards the mother in the Permanent Marker line. Forbidden Cherry is spot on for exactly what we expect from the cross. It smells heavily of Forbidden Fruit even in early veg and was also a pretty short plant to start out. It was also slow initially and I wondered if it was because of the cross itself. but it nearly tripled in size throughout flower.

TrichoJordan13 A few images of Blue Permanent Power grown along with SMarker and FC. A lot like Strawberry Marker these plants grow tall and express very similarly to their close relative. They're easy to handle but seem to foxtail a bit more if the light is high in late flower. The nose is absolutely phenomenal. The berry kush is very strong in late flower and lingers which makes you want to smell it all of the time. Structure is decent and similarly, it will take at least ten weeks to bring these plants to harvest. I prefer these more than the Strawberry Marker because of the nose but can appreciate both. Super sticky and requires the use of 2 or more fiskars or trimming tools to get the job done. It's actually kind of annoying how sticky they are because it takes a lot longer to trim than 90% of the plants I've seen.

TrichoJordan13 The structure on these were very difficult to manage. They grew top heavy and branches often fell over, requiring garden wire to keep them together and get them to harvest. Still, they were beautiful plants and smelled just like Forbidden Fruit with a bit of orange citrus behind it. Average yield and a pretty easy trim. I think if I went back and grew these plants again I would run them either SOG or DWC with a double trellis. Fantastic nose and beautiful plants but I don't know if I would call them elite.

TrichoJordan13 Various images of various phenos of SMarker grown throughout this series. Plants are extremely easy to grow and smell of berry candy and sharpies in late flower. Average height is about 5' for six-inch rockwool and they tended to be moderate feeders that turn extremely purple in late flower. Nitrogen levels can help keep the purpling at bay for several weeks, but they all tend to purple no matter what. Easily ten-week plants or eleven. These are not plants that finish quickly but they tend to reward patience with a decent bulk. To be honest, this strain is filled with keepers and is very hardy to drought and mechanical stress. A monocrop would be fantastic.
