Ok so im doing a slight experiment sonce its an auto. Ive noticed since i started doing my autos in 10 gallon pots they get way bigger then wen i use 5 or 7 gallon pots an normally every1 tells me 10 gallons is such a waste for autos. But wen i use pots smaller then tens i jus cant get my plants as big as i get with the tens. So im trying this round to use a garbage can which is taller an my theory being if the tap has longer to go b4 it hits bottom the plant will think it has even bigger room to grow so its internal clock tht registers when to start flower an how big it lets itself get an all tht will essentially be set farther back so in turn will result in a bigger plant n bigger harvests. Atleast thts my thinking an hopes lol. So i guess we will see. But if this test run goes gud then i think i mite be on to sumthn here. So my next run wud be with a smaller over all size but jus have the pot be taller. So it wud hold less soil essentially but be taller an ill see if the plant still getts big or bigger like with the pot tht had more soil. But yea so far things are off to a gud start. Now jus hope they continue to do so lol.
So this week is jus kinda run on auto tune for lack of a better word lol. But yea so far rite nw jus plain ro water till they get about 5 nodes. I actually add alil tea in with the plain water to help give alil speed boost to the 5th node lol. So far she is flying right on schedule. Im sure by next week or by the middle of next week for sure she will be ready to start full veg drenches. But for now she will jus have to settle for tea with plain ro water.
Ok so this is the Strawberry Pie im doing a 2 part experiment on. An the first part is to see if being in a taller pot an letting the tap root have longer to go undisturbed will tht result in a bigger plant? My theory is tht if an auto has a longer/taller pot to grow in they will be able 2 grow larger then if they were in a normal type pot. An f so they will get bigger yields as well. An then if this first part is a success then ill move onto the next part of the experiment. An tht will be to see if I can use less soil but jus have the pot be taller an still get the bigger plant/yield. But yea im hoping this will turn out to be a gud successful experiment an in the process get some killer buds lol. Shit maybe if they had experiments like this in school I wuda tried harder lol. Now as for feeding I got her on full veg drenches both the transplant and the growth drench also with alil tea added as well. An so far things are going great. An ive noticed to tht all the others tht I planted at the same time as her are all starting to flower out but not her yet. An I know her being a different strain then the others cud be it jus maybe she takes alil longer then them to get to flower. But I feel like its from my experiment I think its working an she is having a longer veg time to develop a bigger plant base. Or that could jus be me an wishful thinking lmao. Im not a 100% sure either way but time will tell.
Ok so finally got her into flower mode now an I have to say I think I mite be onto sumthn here with the taller pot idea cause this strawberry pie has got longer colas then my pervious ones did. Plus she took 16 days longer in veg then the other times I ran this strain in regular pots. So I think those xtra 2 weeks veg time allowed her 2 get alil bigger an hopefully will result in bigger yields. Atleast thts my goal lmao. Plus then im guna need to do acouple more runs jus to make sure the results end the same. Cause even tho all my others which is only 4 lmao but they all flowered with in about 5 to 7 days of each other they all were very close. Now this is the 1st one ive done in this tall pot so guna need to get some strawberry pie beans so I can run this method again a few times an see if it don't stay the very same or atleast close 2 each other. Then I can move on to phase 2 of my experiment which will be using taller pots but less soil. I wana see if I were to do like a 5 inch wide or so pvc pipe an like 2 feet tall can I still get the auto to grow big an yield well. I wana see if autos base there internal timing for how big they will get on how long the tap root has to go b4 being disturbed an hits the bottom of the pot. So if u had a taller pot therfore giving the tap root longer time to grow down will tht result in it growing bigger and yielding more? Well I intend to find out lol. This week I did some much needed defo as well plus a small lollipopping to a few colas as well. Over all things are going great an she is jus ungodly sticky lol. An very smelly to she is one of those plants tht has a smell its almost bad like u wudnt like it but 4 sum reason u do lmao. Its weird how u wana keep smelling tho lmao hahaha. But yea this is a great strain every1 here wen I grow it loves it an bam its always my first one gone if I dnt save myself sum put aside out of sight out of mind kinda deal then I dnt get any lol.
Ok so she is kinda jus on auto pilot right now. I did remove a few leaves an strapped dwn the branches alil more. I figure it shud help open up the canopy so each cola can develop to its full potential. An im pretty sure she is guna be pretty nice come harvest time cause look already how frosty she is an flower jus started not to long ago on her lol. Its crazy she stinks so gud lol. She has a sweet an fruity with a skunky background kinda smell to her. Its some nice loud bud for sure. She is guna have sum crazy insane bag appeal too. So over all a very nice strain to have added to the arsenal.
Man she is one of the frostiest girls I've ever growen lol. I love this strain it is excellent for extractions. I get a shit ton of shatter from her wen I use my dab press. This round im guna make some bho out of some of her cause this is jus frost central with this girl. An she is unbelievably sticky lmao. If u jus brush her ur are glued lmao. So yea I cant wait to see what I get from her with a bho run. Now im jus letting the buds thicken up b4 I take her down. An this week she really started to fill in. So im starting to feel alil better bout her lol. At first I wasn't sure if she wud fill her buds in or if they wud stay all wispy like. Which wudnt have been so bad considering she is so frosty I wuda jus made her into a concentrate plant. But still im glad she is bulkn up alil now so it gives me hope lol.
So again jus pretty much an auto pilot week. Lol go figure its on auto pilot its a fukn autoflower lmao. But yea this is one of my most favorite strains. Just look at how frosty she is an now is the time she will start to fatten up. Its always the last few days with this strain idk why but she grows like backwards from all my other strains lol. She like grows leaves an lil wispy buds an jus frosts out like a mofo really super early an jus keeps stavking frost on frost on frost lol an slowly kinda stacking her buds up long wise but not really filling in. But then at the end just when her triches start to amber up ever so slightly she starts getting lil bud bursts an they slowly start filling in like she is doing an so im guessing another 7 to 10 days or close to it she shud be nice an fat an ready for the plucken lol.
Ok so I did a nice size defo on her 2day an holy lord ive never had a plant put out so much da resin in my life lmao. I cudnt even bring myself to toss the big shade leaves cause they had so much resin I can do a concentrate run jus from them alone lol. N so I opened up the canopy by removing those leaves plus pulled her open a tad more in hopes the buds fill in alil more. An if not oh well she will be a concentrate plant which ill jus end up with like a 2 or 3 ounces of dabs lmao ok maybe not tht much but it will be alot I jus no it. So even if the buds won't thicken up much more then ill jus wait till the triches are alil more cloudy an start to amber alil then ill take her down. Cause as of right now her triches still have alot of clear ones so she can go alil more.
This is some of the best buds ive growen in a long time very sticky an potent. Its a family and friend favorite lol. If you want a super potent extremely easy to grow an pretty pest an mold resistant then Strawberry Pie is a must have for you.
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy,
Thanx much appreciated I was slightly worried for a min there in the beginning. She was jus getting so dam frosty more then ive ever had a plant do b4 lmao. But the buds werent thickening up. So I was like great well this jus became an extraction plant lmao. But then her buds started to bulk up alil bit so I had hope an decided to leave her be to see if she wud thicken up. An she did thank god lol. Still not as dense as the Gorilla Cookies or Crystal Candy XL but she is more like kush thick. Like how kush strains get soft spongey thick buds. They r kinda dense but in a soft spongey kind of way lol. An thts how this girl is turning out now thick an soft like kush buds. An with how frosty she is im definitely not complaining lol. Well ok I lied there is sumthn i mite complain about. About why isn't she done growing an cured right now lmao. I wish we cud jus grow the plants an the buds wud be ready right on the plant lol. Like we cud jus pick a bud an smoke it right then an there n u didn't even need to do a cure or nuthn lmao.
@SeaGrow,
Thanx man It was one of the easier grows ive had in awhile so im glad they turned out so nice lol. This is one of the most frostiest plants I've ever growen. I so cant wait to try her out.
