Nah this was offered to me on the black market so there was a bunch of it no smell not much taste just so so
Yea; personally I think someone gave too much of a good thing. Primarily sunlight; almost seems like something difficult to do; considering; but entirely possible. There really is a sweet spot; and I'm finding myself that backing them off a tad can be helpful. Reading up on RuBisCo explains that process well.
Rubisco is a unique and interesting enzyme, mediating the first and key reaction of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation: conversion of one molecule of RuBP and one of CO2 into two molecules of PGA. Besides the
carboxylation reaction, Rubisco reacts with oxygen to form one molecule of 2-phosphoglycolate and one of PGA. The plants recover part of the carbon diverted into phosphoglycolate through the process of
photorespiration and lose part of carbon as CO2.
Photorespiration also helps in the recycling of nitrogen and dissipation of excess energy and reductants (ATP and NADPH) in the chloroplasts. A major drawback of Rubisco is its very slow catalytic capacity.
Instead of creating sugars and dankness;
it just getting recycled perpetually in an inefficient loop; replicating the same undesirables... ie. wasted energy.
Strawberry cough?????
Where??
Who??
Yea; all this time I've never seen it on these forums either. Strange....
Doesn't help she's a clone only cultivar.
Note also the story behind it; its a fine example of the mantra I tirelessly harp about in regards to plant leaning; environment; microbes and their resulting organic acids...
Texas Kid: (Willy Nelson) Strawberry Fields is a 100% indica strain that originated in vermont. around 7 weeks flowering time. Breed for the taste and smell of strawberries, and to be able to finish before the first snow fall in Vermont. High yielder. from what I understand, the strain was given it's name because the breeder grew it for many years in with his strawberry plants, and claimed that the original scent of strawberries was intensified because of the way he grew the plants together. nevertheless, if his theories were correct or not, the worked plants in his field had developed a scent and smell that matched his freshest strawberries to a tee. But the high was not ideal for his prefrences(needed to be more cerebral). He took an outstanding pure haze male and crossed it with his best female flowering in his fields. These are essentially strawberry cough seeds, but not the clone that's going around. The SC pheno clone was found in sorting through dozens of these seeds that were given to kyle kushman. the SC clone yields very heavily from it's mother strawberry fields(which I was told the real deal is now extinct). Expect a minimun of five to six ounces per sc plant, and the real deal finish around 7.5 - 9 weeks depending on what you look at to harvest. each branch must be supported with at least one stalk, or the weight of the buds will cause your limbs and buds to hang on the ground.
Nebu: regarding the Strawberry Cough heritage, Strawberry Fields x Haze as I was told. Though Kyle (with whom I worked @ HighTimes and who provided the clone & details to me) had said it was a lonely (& lowly, he thought at first) clone, not seeds, which he received. He did not expect much (the 'breeder' had a very small, humble environment) and accepted the clone only to be polite ~ upon arriving home after a fairly long drive he opened the box where he had placed the clones and was suprised to catch the strong aroma of strawberries. At that moment he thought that it just might be something special. (which it really is!)
If we can located a true specimen; I suspect she's a exceptionally fine breeder; with that 7 week flowering time and parentage.
