About this grow: these are Strawberry Kush (from clone) these are all I salvaged out of a 3 light rotation that got a bug infestation, these girls are ooolllld, going on 9 weeks.. but hey what do you expect when your fixing problems. So here we go...
About my set up: have a spare room that is 12x15 inside it I have; 2 flowering tents, One 40"x40" and one true 4x4, I veg in an open veg under a T5 400w, and have an assortment of LEDs for flower depending on needs
Growing in soil, I don't really add nutes, just microbes and liquid Seaweed I may feed salt nutes 2-3x through an entire grow, but only if she needs it
This will technally be my 5th attempt to flower, I have yet to finish an entire batch...
Wish me luck
Day:71 moved from T5 400w veg tent to the 380w LED flower tent to veg for one week.
Day 73: light watering, RO water only, 10 second pass and 5 second pass.
Day 76: was watering my other plants so just lightly watered these for 10 seconds each w my sprayer 1 gal RO mix
1 ml Mammoth P
20 ml maxicrop liquid Seaweed
15 ml fossil fuel
5 ml ProTek
Splash of K-L-N
Ph 7.1 285ppm
These girls are LOVING their new home... finally growing like I am used to... maybe I need to change my T5 bulbs... possibly why my veg is going so slow... these girls are blowing up FAST under their new light... NOTE: my LED light is 4 feet away!!! I don't How is see so many ppl running them so close the the canopy.. my plants hide from the light when I get below 3 feet.... really like this site and all the nice ppl I have meet so far👍🏻
Day 77: got in the tent and sealed all light leaks, test air flow with tent closed, 24 hrs lights off to kick into flower. I have done 36 hours to start flower before but it freaks me out 🙈. They will wake up to the exact same light at the exact same height (380w HTG led, 4 pod, 4foot away)on a 12/12 schedule.
So today is Day 77 Flower Day :0
Day 78: Flower D 1: lights back on after 24 hr off. These girls are starting short and fat, only 10 inches tall but 14-16" around (see pics) going to TRY not to trellis them so I can move them around and what not. Never tired without but also never trained them this well before Flower too.
Day 79: Flower Day2: pots light soil dry, 6 days since last real watering, using salt nutes for the first time on these girls, just a small boost

Day 82: did some super cropping to control the canopy and fill in the space better, move plants as needed
Day86 FD9: plants are filling in well, put a humidifier in my central room finally 👍🏻
Day 91: light watering at lights on, RO water only 10 second each
Day 92 FD 15: plants are filling out nice, starting to form flowers well now, hoped to fill more canopy than this by now, but it looks like everyting is growing correctly so that's 90% of it 👍🏻(See pics from today)

30 ML maxicrop liquid Seaweed

Day 96: FD 21 : it looks like I'm past the stretch, not like I really had one, these girls grew up maybe 6" I think I did to much bending on them and also should have put more plants in flower... the last time I put 9 in here it was out of control though... ahhh...

5 ml myco Chum
1.5 ml mammoth P

2 feedings in a row, never done that before but was still showing mag defeciency and she is getting into the building phase so a little extra now will hurt since I have feed so light all the way through
Day 102 FD27: swapped lights, 400w led out, 600w Kind going in 46" from top canopy
Day 104 FD29: (see pics) going good, really liked the extra feeding plants are moving along very well now. Smaller than I like but healthy and on track to finish well 👍🏻

One in the back is showing some mag deficiency or nitrogen deficiency yellowing from the bottom up, not to bad now but had to remove a hand full of leaves....
Day 113: RO water only ph6.2 used 1 gal total...
Starting to think 3 gal buckets were a bad option.. still have 3-4 weeks probabally and I'm already having to water every 2-3 days! Fingers crossed I can keep from overwatering
Just want to say that my other grow just kicked into flower, check it out, my 3 light rotation is back in FUL SWING and I'm so happy

1ml mammoth p
1 ml KLN
1ml superthrive
10 ml grandma molasses
15ml maxicrop liquid Seaweed
10 ml humic acid
Ppm 225 ph6.9
Had to take some fan leaves from the 2 back plants and the middle on the left that were dying.. normal for this stage perhaps..
now it's time for her to fatten up, looking like I should get some decent colas.
As always thanks for stoping by
Questions and tips are always welcomed
Day 111 FD46: 1 gal RO mix
2 ml dyna grow ProTek
2 ml dyna grow - bloom
3 ml dyna grow msg pro
10ML molasses
1.5 ml mammoth P
Hoping to really load the soil with sugars for the microbes so the plant starts building some weight
Thanks for stoping by :)
Day 124 FD49: pots really light again, and 2 droopy plants today, picked up new info from grow boss about how to water untill full.. so I doubled the amount of water mix I feed from 1.25gal to 3 gals total for all 6 plants
Ro mix per gal
2 ml pro tek
4 ml mag pro
2 ml dyna grow bloom
10 ml molasses
Ppm 580 ph 6.2
Day 125 FD 50 (see pics) : these girls are getting really stinky!! I uped the fan speed from 20% to 60% and it keeps the smell in untill you open the tent. Wish they would have stretched more, but I'm excited to see these finish, should start packing on the weight now...
Flower day 50: (pics) still plugging along nicely, the leaves are starting to change, the literature for the strand said 55 days flower, so I was showing flowers at day 10 of 12/12 that would make me 15 days away.. and by the looks of these girls that is going to be fairly accurate. So we're probabally down to just water, sweet and microbes at this point...
Gotta figure out something for some flushing.. they are to heavy to move without damage now....
Flower day 53, 57 & 60 : used ro mix per gal of.
1.5 ml mammoth p
8 ml Botanicare sweet
200 ppm 6.2 ph used 2 gal total each time.
These girls are starting to get supper dense, even the smaller buds are very firm. Cut a small sugar leaf off and could see apx 10% brown 75% cloudy and some clear tricomes still.. so I think I'm 10days ish from harvest..
It is advertised as a 55 day flower..
so 61days -10 days transition = 51 days + 2 week finish (I assume) so it is the time I expected more or less, maybe less
As always I appreciate you checking out my grow, tips and info are always welcome
Happy growing
Day 70 Flower: harvested today, been watering with RO water and sweet only for the last 2 weeks, very happy with the final product, was a 55 day strain advertised so by my math withthe transition and finish it was right on,
Will post more harvest pics and final weight in a week or so
As always thanks for stoping by and happy growing
Little lighter than I hoped
1.13 oz blueberry 6.63oz strawberry Kush
So 7.75oz just shy of 1/2 lb.. this tent should pull 9-12 average, but I know I didn't fill my canopy correct so it is to be expected
This girl is EASY to grow! Highly recommend for beginners.. I have ran the blueberry and strawberry together and seperate a few times.. the strawberry is by far more resilient.
overall very happy with the quality, very sticky. Good bag appeal the color just pops, I wish I had a better phone for better pics.
Smokes good burns really clean (see my ash pic) how white the ash burns and very smooth, has a very strong fruity flavor as you breath in and out, SUPER YUMMY!! SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT, and then after you 2nd breath it's a little spicy aftertaste, very appealing to me. ITs very stony, not forget what I am doing stony but will defiantly ease your mind and relax your shoulders.
I would like to say that it took me 11 months of killing plants and getting early and partial harvests to get to this point, and each grow keeps getting better and better... so just stick with it if your haveong problems and
FOLLOW THE GROW BOSS! it's a must if you want to win ;)
Thanks to everyone for the love and props have made some friends here and happy about that too.
Thank you to grow diaries for this one of a kind platform to learn and share!!
My 3 light rotation is in full swing, I will Be harvesting every 5-6 weeks, so come join my other grows
Happy growing and happy holidays
I went o this everyting pretty well up top, th aks for checking out my grow, bigger and better yields to come.. find my mixed fruit LED diary, it is about to flower off in same space
That is very much what they look like.. I don't photoshop them.. just use my UV glasses on my phone for the "blurpal" color..
check out my white widow auto grow, I got a similar color from them but not as "poppin"
There was one blueberry in this tent and the color was notably differant...
They will be ready to jar in a few days, will have more pics and I'll get some in the light too
Thanks for stoping by
Happy growing
Uh are you sure about harvest window?
It seems like you checked the trichomes on leaves, but they are faster to turn milky and amber. I think they still had a while to go... I could be wrong tho.
@Yogsothoth,
The last 3 weeks you can smell the strawberry.. I smoked the gunk I scraped off my scissors.. it had A very strong strawberry taste
I have grown this strain before, but never to compleation like this time.. even when I messed up it tasted good, super excited to sample more of this
@Yogsothoth,
Yes those photos are from some bottom sugar leaves, the buds have a good mix too.. the photos turn out looking like they have more clear than they do, due to the led light on the microscope.
On day 65 the smell of the plant really changed and so did her look. ;)
I have been looking at strawberry kush seeds online recently, I would really like to grow this strain. I noticed that your diary says custom breeder did you just acquire this seed from some bud you bought?
@Fun_Growin, lol thanks for the mention and have fun @DeepRoot3d I'm mainlining my SK plant and the slow accumulating knowledge of how to grow it is surely getting there. I would also say it is pretty resilient as I topped it all three times every time in less than a week and she bounced back hella quick
@DeepRoot3d,
I can't find my breeder here
I purchase the "mixed fruit pack" from
Ilovegrowingmarajuanna.com
(You can fix the spelling) they advertise on this site now... but I found them before this site.. all of my seeds have come from there they have SICK CHEEP SALES sometimes like 20 fem seeds for 70$! I love that place
On a side note: I have ordered seeds from other company's that advertise on this site. It was really expensive and I never got my stuff or my $300 back. Even paid the upgraded shipping.
But I digress :)
There is another newer grower here that has the exact same pack I got
I hope I answered your question.. "I might be a little high" :)
@BiggestLittleGrower,
I have 3 fruit flavors.. I'm a blueberry guy... scratch that... now I'm a strawberry guy..
7-14 days faster. And the flavor of this strand... by far my favorite.. maybe because it came out better last run, or was the only plant to finish haha. But it seems to like my environment and the flavors and aromas express really well in my set up..
I picked these up from ILGM.com they are super cheep..
Btw it's just strawberry Kush... couldn't get this app to load that :)
@CaliGrown, thanks, I'm super happy with this grow. I'll fill the space better next time, but I think I've reached "quality" status as long as I don't mess up big time in the next 3 weeks :)
@DeepRoot3d,
Yea it's nice when a tent comes down every 4-6 weeks.. I was in full swing when I got totally wiped out both flower tents and my veg, from bugs !!!
Took like 3 months to get back in full swing but now
My autos should be done in 2-3 weeks
Flower tent A should be done in 4-6 weeks
Flower tent B starts this weekend and will be 4-6 weeks behind A
And then my Girl Friend better get her trimmers sharpened hahah
