Sidecar Strain description from breeder: Genetic Background: Strawberry#13 x Mimosa Type: Feminized Sativa 60% Indica 40% THC: CBD: Yield Indoor : gr/m2 Height Indoor: 0 - 0 cm Flowering time: 8 - 9 weeks ( 58 - 65 days) Aroma: 
Effect: Expectations and training method: I know these genetics are a bit delicate so I’ll be taking things very easy. The breeder suggests topping and training the branches because she can grow fast and tall. By what I’ve seen from the local growers, she can produce some savory chunky buds which is what I’m aiming for. I’ll follow the breeder’s suggestion and Top/LST which is what I’ll be doing to almost all my other strains as well on this run. As for the yields I’m not expecting much given the numbers I got from local growers. No more than 40 grams per plant but always aiming for more. I’ve already smoked this strain grown by the breeder and other local breeders, which is what made me want to grow it myself. I expect nothing but trichomes and terps from these ladies.

06/03/19 - These plants have grown so fast, normally at this stage my previous plants have been much smaller, only 14 days old and got a 8-9 wingspan on the fan leaves, I’m really happy I’ve turned to mills as I’ve had no faults with them yet, I did see a slight cal defiency on one of them but this was my own fault not the nutrients, I heard I dident have to add cal mag as their A&B had extra in it, but as I’m in coco I made a mistake but I’m hopeing that it’s gonna be a quick fix and they will be back to normal in the next few days 🤞🏻 09/03/19 - the gelatos seem like their doing fine, had a few brown specs but nothing progressed and it looks like their doing good. 12/03/19 - started to LST/leaf braid today as their already big enough for it and should be switching to flower at the end of next week

10-21 - Finally have room to start my new run! Dropped the little Sunset Sherbet Go Fast seed today in some water. 7:00am, it begins!...my days start early lol 10-22 - Cracking open in that water today, but nothing really to report 10-23 - Tail is out! Planted into a puck this morning with a bit of myco. 10-24 - She is up and tall today! - Got her pot ready for planting tomorrow. Went ahead and pre wet the coco with a light feed mix of 1.75ml/gal cal mag, 1.75ml/gal Coco A, and 1.75ml Coco B. Ppm 270 with a ph of 5.8. Will feed this same feed for the next week or so also after planting. Using 3 gal fabric pot, straight coco. ** Yep....It's my turn! Sure, my husband thinks he is growing the 'perfect' Sunset Sherbet right now....but I promise, mine WILL be better! 😁 LOL Two completely different grows though! He's in coco/peat/, I'm in straight coco. He's using Plagrons organic Alga, I'm using Plagrons Coco A&B. He's more 'dialed in', I'm more 'ehhh it is what it is '. He likes to monitor his cats, I let mine do whatever they want. So, he may not know it yet...but the competition has already began!

On February 6th, I transplanted clone into a 7 gallon fabric pot. I put 70 cups of Ocean Forest in, then placed clone (still in pot), in the center of 7 gallon fabric pot, then filled the rest of the pot up with Happy Frog. Before I transplanted, I sprinkled Great White in transplant area.

July 25: mostly recovered from the hail storm two weeks ago. Now one week into force flowering and she is stretching. Looks really good. July 26: watered with compost tea this morning. July 28: in garage at 7:20 pm to avoid incoming heavy thunderstorm and good chance of hail. Rainiest summer ever here. No 730 nm red light and I will bring out again at 7 am to preserve close to 12 h of darkness. July 29: added strings and weights to space out the scrog net. Added malted barley, soil, some gypsum (for Ca), and Epsom salts (for Mg) and even a bit of dolomite (for Ca and Mg without sulphate). Key ingredient is the malt which is great for flowering stage.

The two plants are growing very well! I'm happy with DWC. It's easy to manage and and small enough to fit perfectly also in small growboxes. 😉

Took 2 clones from my sunset sherbet this week towards the end of the week. There continues to be explosive growth with this plant. I plan on switching to flower in a month or so and we will find out how she really performs.

Since Im using mainly ocean forest and bio 365 bioflower I avoided flushing for the first plant harvest. In fear of ruining my first harvest I bought a lightly used cannatrol machine. If you have any advice on your favorite dry/cure settings feel free to reach out or drop a comment. The overall nug isnt too impressive in size but the trichomes make up for it. Will get to test out the first nug next week. When that finishes I plant to harvest the entirety of the first plant and possibly the second upcoming. As you can see the next up coming has the highest amount of trichome coating and I want to do my best to harvest it at optimal time. Pushing for weeks 11-13 to finish off the rest of the girls. Im sorry the photos aren't the best fell off hard on the diary during my vacation. Starting a new diary this week for my freshly sprouted solfire Miami Mami x2 and ethos grape balls of fire rbx. I plan to do more experiments with nutrients down the line. I also plan to keep the medium more controlled than this run. Will be using bio all with a bottom layer of bio flower. Im a big supporter from constant good growers pointing me toward this brand of soil especially since i’m not sure how much I want to dabble in hydroponics yet.

Switched to a lighter feed this week, leading into flush. Did the lighter feed for 5 days, and have been flushing for 2 days now. Will play by ear this week, but I see 1 more week of straight PH'd water and then it may be time to cut them down. Very pleased with their progress. All the plants have stacked flowers, which have swollen nicely and are coasted in resin. The fade is kicking in and the flowers are starting to get some beautiful colour to them. Should be interesting to see what they look like in a week.

This week waz beautiful, i flused the 1st plant JackHerer Haze Xl its been 88 days from seed shes ready to harvest! Still got 2 to 3 more weeks to go with the other plant im beyond excited lets go! Love the trichomes production, she smells so good as well! The 2nd plant is looming great really thicking up! Im super greatful shes taking to the nutrients ive been feeding! Just the over drive, and bud candy this last week. This coming week im thinking i should flush but i dont wanna lose a week of feed if i should be feeding so ima have to do some thinking!!!! Any thoughts much love happy growing this is exciting

- Started this week with a fresh re-pot into a 9 litre air pot and a topping. - She started showing signs from my accidental over feeding last week so diluted my nute mix by half and only gave her about a litre on the day of re-potting. - Worried the plant is looking a bit small compared to other grows at the 5 week mark. - Timelapse looks a bit different this week, iv been messing around with speeds and white balance. Hope you enjoy -next week I will start intense training.

Week 10 - - - - - OMG she got frosty!!!!!!!!!!!!! She smells so beautiful! So Citrus! So Lime!! 😂 😍 This week I have added a couple of grams of 20-20-20 fertiliser to her water. For a few weeks now I've been loosing a lot of lower leaves. They turn yellow and fall off. I did send the growcaps rep a pm a couple of weeks ago now asking about the active length of growcaps but it's gone unanswered..... so I took things into my own hands. She seemed to like the boost in nutrients with the amount of frost on her and not dropping any leaves. I do think the growcaps worked very very well at the start but I think they need to make them last a few weeks longer.

Looking good hopefully all will be showing signs of flowering at the end of this week. I'll update a few more times this week.

Smell is amazing i never try something like that before i love him.. He is not very frosty and not ma favorite but he is very good ! :) I hope next time i can let him at last 2week more in flower.. I shop a little bit too soon i think :/

The white hairs started about 9 days ago, ive been watching closely since, its grown another 5 inch in past 5 days, the hairs are multiplying but im still to see no bud shapes anywhere? Is this normal? I know over the growth ive caused a few problems for her and maybe this is why not alot is happening now, hopefully get something off it though, make it worth the effort and costs of the things ive bought. The days are running out for whats left to grow with it been a auto, online said anything after 83 days is pointless? Is that true in any way?

Beginning of week 4. All plants were topped. Have nearly doubled in size since last week. One of the auto Dark Purple has already started forming flowers, didn't expect that to happen already.

I have problems with her. I think it's because of the local water. the earth is not fertilized with any product. only earthworm humis.

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?
