strawberry nuggets & 3 Bears OG x Mango Smile week 8/9

Well i believe i killed my Strawberry Nuggets plant. I foolishly attempted to use the supercropping technique to give her slight lean to get more light to the lower branches and well I probly shouldnt have done it to her main stem and she hasnt taken it well. Her leaves have started to droop, some of her color is gone, alot lighter green and just all around not lookin like shell survive. I have left her in to see if she will come around but even if she does itll be severly stunted I assume.
The 3 Bears OG x Mango Smile plants (x2) are coming along well. There appears to be two different phenotypes as one plant has taken well to training and now has around 8 branches forming a nice canopy of pretty even tops. She also has the long slender leaf structure of a Sativa. The other girl has about 6 branches that have not stretched as much as the other and her leaf structure is more that of an Indica with its broader leaflets. Both plants flowers are similar in appearance but the more sativa-like girl has what I would say are “longer” buds. The nodes are more spaced than that of the other girl with her flowers less spaced from node to node.
I feed the ladies every other watering with Fox Farms Microbial Brew and Fox Farms Buds & Blooms and I alternate the FFB&B with Neptunes Herculean Harvest (0-6-0)and Terpinator (0-0-4). They also get a compost tea once a week as well.
Lighting is a 300w 24” t5 and a 200w 24” LED on a 22/2 schedule. A 10” box fan hung in a corner and at canopy level moves air around a 24”Dx36”Wx50”H area.
Along with that mouthwatering aroma of the 3bears there is now a sweet mango scent coming through.
until next time thanks for reading.

the SN survival was expected by most but unfortunately when i checked in on it yesterday her sugar leaves were crispin at the tips. i believe it was a learning experience and lesson learned less is more with autos and i honestly feel i was micromanaging things way too much time spent finger fuckin the plants to do what i wanted and i should be just watching and listening to the plants. better luck on the next run ive got 4 or 5 other auto strains i will be running one at a time baby steps…Here is a pic of the death blow the SN just culdnt come back from..
