• First of all, I just wanted to say I really appreciate being part of this community. I have a hard time and get uncomfortable having to talk to people and all that stuff. And this community makes it easier for me but my deal is I was wanting to see if anybody has any experience growing, an older strawberry cough strain. Older seeds that were given to many long time ago two of them didn’t but one did. Been having a little trouble with her, she almost tripled in size in stretch , came into an iron deficiency first two weeks into flower. I corrected and Was good for a few weeks but she’s pist off again. Top leaves of curling under and starting to yellowing. Also seems to be taking way longer to finish. Started flower May 22.. both other plants in the tent already finished off. Can anybody give me some advice that had experience growing this strain and if they normally take that long to finish and if it was finicky and what you did about it. It gets pissy whatever I do. Smells great though.

      Love

        • Do you know which strawberry cough you have? I have Kyle Kushmans growing right now crossed with a Lime Sour from meangene , expecting 11weeks or so if that could help.

          I’m in the end of week seven and there’s still five more to go! Everyone I’ve spoken with has said “Twelve long ass weeks of flower.” KK has been kind enough to reply to my questions and he says it damn near verbatim from your post… “Vigorous, stretchy, thirsty, can be finicky but with patience and lots of LST love, it’s worth every ‘damnit!’ ” Kinda makes you feel like ol’ Job back in the day… Everything’s a test to develop patience and self discipline. This one pays off in spades! As long as you dig Haze. 🤘🏼

          • @Casadelwhacko yeah it took off like crazy after flower those plants were the same size and the smaller one in the picture is raised up about 16” from the bottom of tent floor and the cough is on the ground. I’m glad I backed up some clones because I’m getting ready to re run two clones in there own tent so I can tend to her specific needs.

          • Long flowering plants tend to need less intense light and can get pissy if it’s too intense. Their nutritional needs are different as their stages of growth are extended. Feed a 12 week plant on an 8 week schedule and it’s going to be confused for example.

            • I have experienced this and it freaked me out! By chance and asking the wrong questions of the right people, I discovered the scheduled nutes for these 10-12 week beasts are lacking. That’s killing me too because I love and want to grow all the old school green stuff but it gets in the way with my current schedule. Guess I’ll have to figure out a dedicated tent and rig for those too. Jeez, she’s gonna kick my ass! Again.

              • @jmystro that makes sense I was trying to balance my ppfd between the 2 different size plants which wasn’t ideal the witches wedding is basically done so I turned down my lights actually earlier this morning to about 800 ppfd. So hopefully that’ makes her a little more comfortable. I think putting a couple of clones of her in her own tent here shortly will be a way bette idea instead of trying to make two way different strains happy.
