Holy Smoke: Strawberry Diesel - 400w Waterfarm

They dried for about 5-6 days before going into the jar, like I said earlier I have humidity issues and the buds always dry really fast so I threw them into the jar a bit earlier than most would. They're curing really well so far though. Buds have a mixture of a pungent/strawberry smell and they are amazingly sticky, last grow they weren't anywhere near this sticky.

Nice nugs Shim. Looks like they were rolled in pure sugar cane!!

Doing anything special to germ in rockwool? Interesting.

Cool, thanks for the info. They sure do look sticky too. Will you be making bubble out of the trim?

Not this time. I made cannabutter instead. Used some natural butter from the whole foods store which has tons of fat in it.. ++ Haven't made anything with it yet, that's the wife's job as I can't cook lol. I used a little over a oz of dried trim with 1 lb of butter.

Nope, I just wet the rockwool with distilled water, drop the seed in, put it in a container with a top then put it in the dark. Has worked every time.

Mmmmmm....buuuud-daaaah!

I've heard some decent arguments for not using distilled or RO water for seedlings. The reasoning being that the lack of minerals in the water can actually pull nutrients away from the seedling's on-board stores. Depending on the quality of your tap water, it may not be a bad option, already having a little calcium and magnesium in it. Though it probably wouldn't hurt to let it sit out for a good 24 so the chlorine can evaporate. I've been germing my seedlings in rockwool with PH'd tap water and it's been working out just fine, but my tap water is pretty clean (about 50 ppm.) All of that said, mr2shim has clearly been doing well with distilled water, so the warnings I've read could be overstated.

Wish I could come have a taste of that Strawberry Diesel, mr2! Those nugs are looking too damn good.

OMG smoke report already! Well it's been 9 days since harvest day (lol) I've already dried and cured it a bit. I put them in jars Sunday? so not quite 7 days since and wow. It's some good shit! It's not harsh by any means (I only use bongs) I will throw some in a pipe to see how harsh it really is but so far it burns so smooth. It doesn't burn too quick either. I'm not really exactly sure what else to say, I'd say the high right now is about a 7/10 the bag appeal is 9/10 smell is still kinda leafy which is obviously going to still be there in this stage. You can tell it still has a ways to go with curing but the high comes on mild so mild then it hits you really hard. I used a 12" bong last night and I really couldn't tell any difference between that and my little stubby mini bong as far as harshness. Taste, I really don't taste anything, def can tell it's not grown in soil (I don't like the earthy taste) so it's a plus for me. My wife says she can really taste a strong strawberry flavor. I haven't smoked enough of it yet to really say only two bowls. It's def something I want to try to grow again. It's a really uppy trippy high. Overall I'm pleased with it. I'd recommend it to anyone.

A bit on growing in hydro. I was really curious to know how it would taste and look back at all the stuff we've had over the past I now really notice which ones were grown in soil and which weren't. To me soil grown seems to be quit a bit harsher. I will be saving a little piece and storing it away for a few years.

And for those who are subbed up with this journal, my new journal is in my signature so click away! Thanks for following me with my HS: SD. Much appreciation with all the help and kind words from everyone. See you on the other side.
