Strawberry Nuggets

Hello again. Here's my setup: 2 x 4 Mars Hydro Tent 260watt HLG Qb equivalent to a 600w blurple 6" Can-lite carbon filter 6" Hyperfan Stealth 2 x 6" hurricane clip on fans 5 gallon smart pot as the final pot 12 ounce solo cup as starter pot Using my own soil mix which consists of peat moss and perlite, cow manure and forest soil. I amend my soil with cal mag supplement before the transplant and will be giving her from week 4 onwards. Sticking to BioBizz nutes as always. Let's go! - Day 1 she's finally decided to show up! Still yet to proper come up but I'm counting this as Day 1 to fall in line with the rest. - Day 2 true leaves have appeared. Hoping she goes well. - Day 3 all is well - Day 4 second set is starting to come through. - Day 5 all good - Day 6 all is well - Day 7 all good

- Day 8 all good. Gonna transplant her by tomorrow at least. - Day 9 transplanted her in her final pot with some Great White sprinkled in the planting hole. Root ball with soil nearly fell apart so I hope she's okay. Amended the soil with Elemental Calmag and Nectar of the gods one shot. Also gave 1L watering with stims. Let's see how she goes. - Day 10 all good. Looks like she didn't even notice the transplant. - Day 11 1L plain watering today. All good. - Day 12 all good - Day 13 1L watering with nutes and mycos today. She's going well tho. - Day 14 all is well

- Day 15 1L plain watering today. All good - Day 16 all good - Day 17 1L plain watering today - Day 18 all good - Day 19 1L watering with nutes and mycos. Keeping the veg nutes low for now to avoid toxicity - Day 20 all good. She's really short and bushy. Gonna be tough to train her but I'll attempt it later next week. - Day 21 1L plain watering today. She's looking good.

- Day 22 all good. Mephisto wasn't joking when they said it'll be difficult to train. Not much stretch to her at all so far. In any case still going to attempt later this week. We'll see how she goes. - Day 23 all good. - Day 24 all is well. Gonna attempt to train her tomorrow as well as give her a feed. - Day 25 1L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag. Decided to start her cal mag early to avoid any issues in the future. Also kept the fish mix at 0.5 so as to avoid a nitrogen toxicity. She certainly wasn't easy to train but she definitely needed it as her lower branches were struggling a bit with space. I'll probably do some more LST when the next watering is due. - Day 26 all good. She's already recovered from the training from yesterday. I'll LST her some more tomorrow. - Day 27 heavy defoliation today. Removed the majority of the fan leaves to allow more light to the undergrowth. The lower growth seemed to be a bit deformed due to lack of light so hopefully this helps. Also trained the lower growth so that they won't hinder the other bud sites when stretching. Also gave her 1L plain watering - Day 28 all I gotta say is holy fuck! She bounced back so fast from yesterday it's amazing! I'll give her another defoliation in a few days time but Damn!

- Day 29 2L plain watering today. Had to up the watering as she is going to go into flower this week and usually my girls start drinking more around this time. She's looking fucking bushy tho. Gonna have to defoliate her again before her next feed. - Day 30 all good. Defoliation and feed due tomorrow - Day 31 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag today. Had to give her another defoliation because she was acting as if she had never been defoliated. Secured her training a bit as well to open her up a little more. Started on the bloom nutes and I've now switched to bio grow over the fish mix as per the recommendations from BioBizz. Let's see how she reacts. - Day 32 well she doesn't cease to surprise me. She's bounced back from the second defoliation really well. Might give her another defoliation later this week but we'll see how she goes. She really doesn't mind at all. Trying to do all the defoliation the day of the feeding just before I feed her so that she bounces back quicker with new nutes in her system. So far so good. - Day 33 2L plain watering today. Removed a couple of shoots under the canopy and the plant can focus on the larger bud sites. All good. - Day 34 all good. She's recovered really well so I think it's time for another defoliation tomorrow before I stop entirely. She's a bushy plant this one but I love how she prays towards the light and has an even canopy. - Day 35 more defoliation today as well as removal of any bud sites below the canopy so that all her energy is directed into the main colas. Judging by her record she should recover by tomorrow. Also did a bit of LST to let the lights penetrate a bti better. Also gave her 2L plain watering. All good

- Day 41 all good. She's recovered well as usual from her defoliation yesterday. Might give her another round of defoliation before her feed this week. - Day 42 gave her another severe defoliation. Hopefully the last one as I do want to mess with her anymore than I have. I'm just pushing my luck now. Gave her a 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag. Let's see how she goes. - Day 43 she's bounced back but not as quick as the last time so I think that was it for defoliation for this one. Let's see how she goes. - Day 44 2L plain watering today. She's bushed up again but gonna leave her as is. Definitely not an easy one to train since her main stem gets so thick and is fighting against my LST. All is well tho - Day 45 all good. She's bounced back again so now I'm just going to let her do her thing. - Day 46 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag as she wasn't showing any signs of burning so decided she might as well do with another feed. All good - Day 47 couldn't help myself and gave her another defoliation. She was just too bushy for my liking so this will be the last time. Looking good and starting to frost up a bit.

- Day 43 2L plain watering today. All is well. - Day 44 all good. - Day 45 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag today. She's looking good and is taking everything I can throw at her. She's a hungry one. - Day 46 all is well. Still can't get over how bushy she is. - Day 47 2L plain watering today. All is well. - Day 48 all is well. She's frosting nicely. - Day 49 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag today. She's looking good tho. Might cut her grow nutes next week.

- Day 50 all good. Defoliated her slightly so that light could penetrant the canopy as she was too bushy and was worried about the development of the buds underneath. - Day 51 still too bushy today so I had no choice but to defoliate. Such frosty leaves it's insane. Hopefully I haven't caused too much of a dent in the final yield. - Day 52 all good. She's still bushy but I'm leaving her alone for now. - Day 53 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag. She seems to be doing well. - Day 54 couldn't resist anymore. Decided to defoliate some of the leaves that were in between all the buds sites to try and avoid any mold issues. I'm not a fan of defoliating this late in flowering but in this case I didnt have much choice. Super bushy plant - Day 55 2L plain watering today. All good though. She's super frosty. - Day 56 all is well. Hoping the defoliation helped with the airflow between the buds

- Day 57 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag. She's looking good tho. No sign of nute burn so I'm upping the nutes but keeping the grow nutes low until I cut it out next week. - Day 58 all good - Day 59 2L plain watering today. She's super bushy still. Worried there's not enough light getting through but honestly there's not much i can do right now. - Day 60 all is well - Day 61 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag. Looking good tho. - Day 62 all good. She's smelling lovely. - Day 63 2L plain watering today. Looking good.

- Day 64 all is well. She's still got a lot of white Pistils so I'm just waiting for her to fatten up a bit at this stage. - Day 65 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag. All good tho - Day 66 she's fattening up slowly. Her trichs are still clear so I'd say another 2 weeks at least. - Day 67 2L plain watering today. Looking good tho - Day 68 all good - Day 69 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag today. She's super frosty tho. Should be good in about a week or so - Day 70 all good

- Day 71 2L plain watering today. All good tho - Day 72 all good. Her trichs are turning milky so she should be good by next week - Day 73 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag today. She's fattening up nicely under the canopy and lovely shades of pink on some of the buds - Day 74 all good - Day 75 2L plain watering today. She's smelling beautiful. Can't wait to try this one - Day 76 all good - Day 77 2L plain watering today. Decided to start flushing her as she should be ready to harvest next week. Gonna be trying out the HerbsNow dryer for the first time so I'll document that as much as possible.

- Day 78 all is well. She should be ready for the chop soon. She's got some lovely shades of pink and I'm just waiting for some amber trichs for now. - Day 79 her colors are slowly starting to fade but unfortunately you can't tell from the pics. Gave her a 2L plain watering in any case. The last watering should be in 2 days and I'll harvest 2 days after that. - Day 80 all good. Still milky trichs on the buds but I'll wait a couple more days before I harvest. - Day 81 2L plain watering today. What's supposed to be it's last watering until harvest in two days. - Day 82 all is well. She should be ready for the chop tomorrow but I'll decide then.

Fuck me this plant was both easy and a pain to grow. It was great because it bounced back from every defoliation really really quickly. It's a bitch because it bounces back so quickly. It's a super bushy plant and you'll have a pain in the ass trying to trim it if you let the veg get out of hand. That being said all the defoliation will stunt the growth a bit and you'll have to wait a bit longer for harvest. She's a super frosty plant towards the end of her cycle and she'll easily overpower anything else you have in your grow tent. She puts on a lovely display of colors towards the end and you'll be well surprised to see the colors penetrate all the way down to the center of the buds once harvesting. Be prepared to have a super sticky trimming scissors when done and you'll even get a decent ball of hash to taste once done. I'll update once dried and cured. Update 1: After 94 hours in the MyHerbsNow the buds were pretty much dried and the stems were breaking quite nicely. Might've been able to pull it out sooner but I decided to stick with the recommended times. No hay smell, the buds are frosty as hell and it was a pretty quick turnaround. Sampling the first smoke before it goes in for a proper cure in the Cvaults with some Boveda packs. Tastes really nice to be honest. Very fruity/berry taste with a nice earthiness and sweet note to it. Hoping the cure will bring out more flavors. I'll update again in two weeks. So far pretty impressed with the MyHerbsNow. Will definitely use it again. Update 2: the only change I'd make is to pull the buds out of the dryer a day earlier than recommended as the end result was a little too dry for my liking. That said once you chop up the buds the smell instantly fills up the room and you get a nice display of pink within the chopped buds. Nice balance of earthiness and sweet berries to the smoke and will be growing again in the future but without training her as she stays fairly small.
