Started LST training at 4 weeks and nutrients around week 3
Plant responded responded very well and upward growth from bud sites started in less than 24 hours
First signs of flowering started at around 8 weeks or late summer.
Apologies if pics aren’t grow tents quite crowded. Hoping to take better pics in flowering stage.
Each of the bud sites developed from LST have become like plants in there own right excited to see how buds develop.
Really healthy plant can definitely tell it’s a sativa dominant strain.
Quickly turning into a monster plant covering a huge area really healthy and vibrant plant.
Still only in early flower period hopefully doesn’t get to tall for the tent 😆
She’s really starting to stretch no flowers had formed yet so did a lot of pruning on lower branches and ended up topping her due to possible height issues down the road
But as you can see she is quickly going from a plant to a tree 😁
Really loving this plant so took some cuttings to make clones to produce seeds and going to make my own STS so let’s see how that goes 😆
On a side note if anyone wants a diary of how to make seeds/STS lemme know 😁
Every time I prune her she comes back bushier than ever 😁
So healthy and vibrant no spots on leaves or stem etc... just one of those strains that’s just so rewarding to grow.
if previous experience growing this strain is anything reckon she could hit 7-8 ft by harvest time 😁
She just keeps growing, she is an absolute monster!
The number of bud sites is jaw dropping there are literally dozens of them.
Leaves, stem, buds all in perfect condition despite huge size!
Each steam is a plant in its own right sativa genetics at its best 😋
I will have to do something to stop buds pressing against top of tunnel to stop mold 🤔
Edit: have since super cropped (HST) her as recommended see later pics 😁
Anyone have any suggestions on how to limit height without damaging plant?
Worried she’ll end up to big and pressing against top of tent and get hit with mold
I think you've already answered your own question with the supercrop! But make sure you tie and support them or they might snap under the weight of the buds.
She’s a monster can’t keep her down looks like there’s over 50 buds sites, put some supports in to manage the weight of the buds 😁
She has taken to the HST extremely well 👍
Crazy to think I was worried about topping her to late 😆
NPK of seaweed extract I used was 4-3-4 reckon 2 more weeks of that than just water for a week and hopefully then will be time to flush.
Biggest test will be autumn weather and mold that comes with it
Buds doubled in size within a week weathers getting very damp hope mold doesn’t become an issue 😥
Monster plant though ... even I struggle to believe she’s one plant sometimes 😁
Buds fattening a lot.
The first hairs are starting to turn orange (late sept) had to clear few buds due to mold risk but she’s still going strong
Had to move her round a bit for certain reasons so 😅👍
Great plant so consistent as well have grown it several times outdoors and get monster plants every time 😄
Smells of ripe strawberries and light musky skunk undertones as well
Total Dry weight was so 288g so just over 10 ounces 😁
Beautiful Plant pleasure to grow its been the cornerstone of my outdoor grows for the last 3 years.
288g total dried weight, it’s still curing but smoke report so far would be taste of ripe Strawberries and high is a energetic sativa for first 20-30 minutes and then a relaxed stoned effect after that so the best of both worlds 😄
I’ve tried growing other variants of strawberry genetics in Northern Outdoor climate and this is the only one that survives to maturity. I think it’s the skunk genetics give it that extra bit of mold resistance which really shows.
So if your growing outdoor in a northern climate it is a great choice it’s never failed me 😄
In help to your question, but without answering, i will recommend you super cropping, but let expert people bring you the right answer. Wish you all the best with that monster lady ;). Green love 💚💚💚.
@RogueTeletubby, well i never did a hard super cropping, so I don't have that answer. I just did 2 super croppings, in my current AK, but in a very low way, I did it in the 2 highest tails, I squeezed on its upper part without bending it, I simply squeezed the stem until I noticed that it was crushing the inner hollow of the branch, so those branches take a little longer to develop and the others take them in height for when they have recovered. Hope it helps, Cheers!
@Cogollo_eu, awesome thanks will super crop her.
Is it ok if she’s 2-3 weeks into flower?
it’s not to late into it and seems like only solution that would work 😆
Forgot to mention that i run into a similar height problem too last year, my solution was to totally bend higher colas, and support them horizontally with a SCROG mesh, you can check it here:

Hope it helps!, green love!!
