Sour strawberry Barney’s farm

SkunkleDamo They are both doing ok in their intermediate 1l pots. Not sure what I have planned for these but I have at least 6 weeks of veg time so contemplating a mainline but I don’t know

SkunkleDamo One is looking good and has been topped and bent over. The other is a bit mutated and new growth is very yellow. I have started another strain as I’ll likely kill it. Week ending update The one that wasn’t looking as good has been killed. I don’t like to kill any plant but I’ve learned to grow more than needed and to keep the strongest . I have enough seeds as it is not to mention another 1000 that are nearly ready in what was a very promising lady. 1000 of useless , bud spoiling, time energy and money wasting seeds grrr. I should save rants for appropriate diaries lol. Because of the discovery of pollination this plant will be able to flower sooner although maybe a new tent first

SkunkleDamo I now have a plan! I topped at the 4th node and removed node 1 . This left 2 nodes opposite each win a compass or + shape. I have now topped those 4 to now give me 8 mains that have to grow yet. I may top all again for a 16 top plant. It will flower alone under the Mars Hydro fc-e3000 in the black orchid 70x70x160. I’ve heard she stretches 2-300% so will be mindful of that PPFD is 550 atm

SkunkleDamo I started the training by topping at the 3rd node and removing node 1which left me with the base of a 'plus +' shape on which to build. I haven't been updating and I lost a lot of photos so we are going from there. So I now have 4 tops. When these grew a bit I topped all these. This now gave me 8 tops that I trained horizontally, evenly spaced apart . I let these then grow enough for them to be topped again. Now I have 16 mains. Now time to flip the lights.

SkunkleDamo First week of flower is going ok. She had the usual day one defoliation in which just the top fans were left in a sort of shwazz. She will have 16 mains that I will keep as level as I can. I will likely continue to lollipop as my main aim with this one is to have a consistent bud size. I know I'm not going to have the large main cola but hopefully I won't have any small stuff. Apparently she stretches X3 which I have planned for but after the first week not much growth has been noted. I guess she will take off next week

SkunkleDamo Start of week 2. Looking great, really healthy. The 16 equal mains is working out well. I now have a lot of the 'lower' growth tips starting to carpet the plants interior

SkunkleDamo Week three. By mainlining (nearly) and keeping the tops low she is looking a bit strange. Instead of a 12" top with buds starting to stack vertically they are doing it but it's horizontal. This is intentional as it will ALL be under the light at the same distance

SkunkleDamo End of week seven. She was meant to stretch a lot was what I read but with the training I did she has only ended up 12" from soil line to tips of the colas. I'm very happy with her and looking forward to tasting as she has such a lovely sweet smell. Nothing like diesel but a lot like strawberries. It is a sour diesel x strawberry kush. The strawberry kush I have grown a few times and it's evident this girl carries a lot of those genes

SkunkleDamo Start of week 8 of flower and I'm just giving her water. Trichomes are about 75/25 cloudy/clear. I will give another week at least

SkunkleDamo Great strain Very tasty. You guessed it, strawberries. My pheno didn't stretch much but it reportedly should have. I read reports of 300%+ stretch. I mainlines her and trained her flat. As you can see from birds eye photos the amount of buds. She yielded 80g and was only 12" from soil line to tallest tip.
