News Joint Grow Journal 2.0: Five Signature Strains is back to spotlight with a second entry with the fifth strain: Strawberry Cough by Kyle Kushman at Homegrown Cannabis Co.

I left off with me letting the Strawberry Cough do her thing and stay out of her way, except for pruning a few leaves and rotating the plant for best light coverage. The plant grew in a spiral motion into short stout and leafy plant.

As recommended, during mid vegetation, I followed Kushman’s advice for chiropractic techniques, and a few days before I flipped the Strawberry Cough to the flowering stage, I followed his the technique again, along with his supercropping advice.

Because the Strawberry Cough was shorter than the other plants, I placed the fabric pot and tray on a metal trashcan to even the height of the canopy. Out of all the plants I have grown, this Strawberry Cough was low maintenance. As long as I fed her every three days like clockwork, she bushed out.

I low stressed trained the branches but the spiraling growth created a separation of leaves and until late in the grow allowed light in the middle of the plant’s growth. From seed to chop, this Strawberry Cough was a plant-and-her-grow seed, which was what I did.

The leaves on the really frosted up after five weeks of flower and the smell of the plant was more kush than strawberries until the very end of flower when a strawberry scent crept in.

I could tell the Strawberry Cough was going to take longer than the rest of the Five Signature Strains (Tenzin Kush #4 x Hazy Kush by Green Bodhi, Jilly Bean by MzJill Genetics, Peanut Butter Cookies by Tastebudz), and PuTang by Mass Medical Strains).

I chopped each plant throughout on a different day from nine-to-ten weeks. The Strawberry Cough was the last to finish, 10 weeks and two day.

The next News Joint Grow Journal (31) will return to the first Signature Strain (Tenzin Kush #4 x Hazy Kush by Green Bodhi), and then I’ll rotate back through all five strains one last time.
