Grow Diary
Week 7: Flowering Stage
These Strawberry Cough beauties were already in full bloom when Hempface86 started sharing. The tent started to smell like berries, which mixed with the unmistakably sharp sativa zing. The buds started to stack up nicely, and the Mars Hydro kept them glowing with trichomes.
The temperature stayed between 24 °C and 27 °C during the day, but it dropped a little at night. The humidity was just right at about 50%, which was perfect for getting those fat, frosty buds without letting mold in.
Bloom City Organics made sure the girls were well-fed by watering them regularly at a pH of about 6.0, which kept everything just right.
Week 8 & 9: Thickening Up
These Strawberry Cough plants really grew during weeks 8 and 9. LST and careful defoliation kept the airflow and light levels just right, so no buds were left in the dark.
The smell got even sweeter, with a perfect mix of ripe strawberries and strong herbal notes. Hempface86 saw that the pistils were turning a fiery orange, which stood out against the bright green of the buds and leaves.
The temperature and humidity stayed the same, which shows how good Hempface86 was at managing the environment. The plants were sparkling like they had been dusted with sugar because they were making so many trichomes.
Week 10 & 11: Final Push
Hempface86 knew it was almost time to play as they got closer to weeks 10 and 11. Buds got a lot bigger and were thick and heavy with resin. The smell levels went through the roof, so carbon filters were needed to keep the neighbors from knowing.
The bloom boosters from Bloom City Organics really worked, making the size and density of the buds reach their highest levels. Daily checks kept pests and germs out, and the result was clear: plants that were full of life and power.
The temperature dropped a little at night, which helped the trichomes grow and gave the buds that last push toward maturity.
Week 12: Flush and Finish
The flush was all that mattered at week 12. Hempface86 stopped giving nutrients and only gave pure water to let the finish be clean. The leaves slowly changed to beautiful fall colors like yellow, purple, and red, which made this grow's last act look like fireworks.
The trichomes turned cloudy in a beautiful way, which meant it was time to harvest. The buds were sticky and covered in resin, which meant that the smoke would be strong and tasty.
Harvest & Post-Harvest Reflections
The harvest day was great because there were so many firm, fragrant buds dripping with crystals. Hempface86 took their time trimming, taking in the sweet, berry-rich smells that Strawberry Cough is known for.
It took about a week to dry, and it was hung up in carefully controlled conditions. Buds kept their density and strong smell, and they cured well into high-quality, smooth-smoking flowers.
