Strawberry Cola Sherbet

Blackbird_diary Seeded somewhere in may I guess, planted in the open ground in June and she took off like mad. If she had the space she could be bigger but in this short time I’m satisfied . The only feeding she got were some worm castings to start with and some DCM organic pellets for vegtables. She really stands out with 2m+ now and is just happy!

Blackbird_diary This week it rained quite a bit, unlike the dry months before. At this stage of flowering, it's not a disaster yet, but I'm hoping for a bit more sun in the upcoming month of September. The good news is that the soil is well soaked again and the plant looks very happy 😍

Blackbird_diary The weather was changeable this week, beautiful moments alternating with rain. The advantage is that I don't have to water and that we are only in week 3. What I do notice is that the flowers are really starting to change now and day by day you see them getting thicker. They are also already beautifully purple inside with a lovely red color from the outside. They are just doing fantastic 🤩

Blackbird_diary Week 4 is almost over and I'm happy with how everything is going. The flowers are developing nicely and are getting more purple. There's also a bit of resin starting to form in the flowers. The weather could be better, but it could also be a lot worse. We're halfway through flowering now, the crucial phase is coming up 🍀🙏🏼

Blackbird_diary I'm increasingly impressed by this strain. She's a sight to behold, the colors are beautiful, you can see them getting thicker every day, and while they won't be the biggest buds, they're already rock solid. Just 2 to 3 weeks to go after this week, hopefully she'll stay healthy and rot-free! The smell is subtle, a super sweet scent that sometimes reminds me of those little cola bottles. The aroma isn't overpowering and is anything but the typical weed smell so far. But that could change quickly once the resin production kicks into high gear…🍀💚🌸

Blackbird_diary Week 6 and I am even more impressed by this strain. It is insane how well it performs. In my 25 years of growing, I have never encountered a strain like this, and I have had some gems. Only 1, at most 2 weeks to go it seems, and so far I have only encountered 1 tiny bit of rot that was probably caused by a worm. I hold my heart for the last days of her life because it has been quite humid already, but for now, she remains very resilient against the rain and the wind. The resin production is starting to increase significantly, the buds feel rock hard and sticky, the colors cannot be captured in a photo. Deep purple and red-pink flowers, just mouthwatering to see. However, the scent remains very subtle and extremely discreet. A scent that does not remind of cannabis but has a very layered and sweet terpenes profile when you rub over the buds, with cola taking the lead. A scent that currently does not betray itself, and with only 1 week to go according to Sweet, it should still be manageable. I had this strain indoors last year, and it was very nice weed with about the same scent and structure, but it really comes into its own under the sun in full soil. All praise for the breeders at Sweet Seeds for this strain for the uniform seeds and the most beautiful colors I have ever seen.
