My other two journals are coming to a close and it’s time to get my summer grow going.

The other two are Small Potatoes Seeds Strawberry Frog – Vader OG x Strawberry Kush “Reg. The last one is from a UK breeder I know the strain will be The New x Pineapple Skunk
Two of the three desert strains will be a 5-gallon SIP grow using Promix soil and the nutrients will be using GH Duo part A&B nutrients. The two private breeder strains will be in 5-gallon fabric pots given @GeoFlora Nutrients

Dessert Mix Pack Smoke Review
These three strains are fresh out of the Herbies pantry, delivering classic, down-to-earth flavors and an exciting array of Indica-dominant effects. Between the lineages of Jack Herer, Chem’s Sister, and Purple Punch, you’ll definitely be coming back for seconds!
Dessert Mix Pack: Effects
While each strain is high on the Indica side, you’ll find that their effects wax and wane with perfect levels of classic Indica and Sativa to rock your world.
Banana Pudding
The old wives' tale of cooking up a banana before bed has never been more accurate than with Banana Pudding. Just a couple of hits of this 25% THC fruity delight will slowly but unrelentingly lull you into deep full-body relaxation with an uplifting mental linger.
Featuring creamy banana with a dash of spice, this delicious strain is better than a banana split on a Sunday afternoon. Enjoy tropical fruits and a strong ripe banana aroma when you crack open the lid.
Mango Mousse
Smooth and creamy to smoke, the 21-26% THC Mango Mousse melts in your mouth, leaving you exceedingly calm and relaxed for hours on end. Her effects are perfect for classic Indica heads and although relaxing, are still very potent.
Mango Mousse throws a tropical spin on desserts with her nuanced coconut and mango appeal. Expect intense fruity flavors and aromas that may surprise you!
Dessert Mix Pack: Flavors
This mix pack is exploding with terpenes. From fruity to spicy, if you love classic old-school desserts straight from your childhood, this one’s for you!
Dessert Mix Pack Grow Info: Appearance and Grow Tips
A trifecta of fast-flowering feminized seeds, this mix pack will deliver three medium-sized plants that you can grow alongside each other and expect to harvest at the same time with a flowering period of just 55-65 days. Banana Pudding at up to 1,000g/plant (35oz/plant), and Mango Mousse reaching 900g/plant (32g/plant), prepare for a jaw-dropping harvest.
Before you get too excited, remember that great results come from great care, so follow this grow info to give your plants the best possible chance at impressing you:
All three plants grow thick and bushy with dense buds. Space them out adequately to allow for better airflow.
Mango Mousse grows long branches. Try adding some support to help these branches hold heavy buds.
Be prepared for buckets of trichomes. Keep some of your harvest or trimmings aside if you like couch lock-inducing edibles.
Mango Mousse turns purple as she matures. In climates with hot days and cold nights, watch your plant transform with an exotic purple eruption!
Growing to heights of about 150+cm (60”+) outdoors, make use of LST methods to control these strains' sizes.

Vader OG x Strawberry Kush
Vader OG
Information from Wikileaf:
We’ll keep the Star Wars jokes to a minimum here, but just know that Vader OG, also known as Darth Vader OG, is a strain that’s worth talking about for decades to come just like the character she shares a name with. Several versions of this strain are on the market, with the most popular hailing from Ocean Grown Seeds. They’ve crossed SFV OG and Larry OG, however other permutations are certainly out there.
This indica-dominant bud can range in THC anywhere from 18% to 25% and is great for users of most experience levels. Nugs are a bit unusual to look at with a yellow-green tone that’s accented with fuzzy pistils and small amber crystals. Both her flavors and aromas are absolutely to die for, with a strong floral hint that’s contrasted with a spicy and peppery hash. Those who want the best of all worlds when it comes to weed should certainly give this gal a try.
Users who want a strain that takes hold of them quickly will be highly pleased with Vader OG’s effects, as this bud will kick in without a second thought. Initially, it will be cerebral in nature, as euphoria reaches every corner of your mind and infuses joy alongside a stoney and spacey nature. Before long, your body will catch up with a super relaxing sedation that leaves you wanting only one thing - food. Munchies are super prevalent with Vader OG, so make sure to have snacks at the ready.
At the end of a long day full of stress and anxiety, the first thing people want to do is kick back and relax. However, mental issues can make this difficult, which is where Vader OG comes into play. Along with kicking sadness to the curb, users who deal with seizures, spasticity, and bodily pain can all rely on this bud to do them right. Even cases of insomnia can be handled fairly efficiently, as long as your dose is large enough without sending you over the edge of psycho activity.
THC Content
HIGHEST TEST 25%
STRAIN AVERAGE 22%
INDICA AVERAGE 12%
WIKILEAF AVERAGE 18%
WIKILEAF HIGHEST 35%
Growing this plant at home will require a bit of trial and error, but by all accounts, she should be fairly amicable. Indoor or outdoor cultivation will likely be just fine, but rumor has it that warmer climates will result in a higher yield. This hybrid only needs about 8 weeks to fully mature, and for the most part, is a great choice for all home growers.
If you’re able to withstand the dark side, give Vader OG a try the next time you’re ready to unwind after a long day. This bud is tasty enough for you to reach for it time after time, and her effects certainly aren’t anything to shake a stick at either.
Crossed with Strawberry Kush
Information from Wikileaf:
Strawberry Kush can tend to throw you for a loop if you aren’t careful, as its genetics, origin, and dominant effects can vary. In general, this strain comes as a 70/30 sativa-dominant hybrid that’s available by clone only. Her parents are often Strawberry Cough and OG Kush, but again this can vary based on the dispensary. Many people love the calming sensations from stronger indica strains, while those who end up with a sativa-dominant bud will feel alert and energetic.
With a mellow THC level that averages at 18%, Strawberry Kush is a great strain for first-time smokers. It brings a complex aroma of citrus and strawberry with notes of earthy pine lingering in your nose, while it offers a flavor profile that’s similar to a musky imitation strawberry taste. Nugs are super dense and covered in dark orange pistils with a fine dusting of light trichomes.
Those who smoke the indica version of Strawberry Kush love the calming body sensation that comes with its high. Users are functional and tend to choose this strain as an after-dinner treat, and some find that it can even help with arousal. The more sativa-dominant varieties of Strawberry Kush bring an alertness to one’s mental state, making it more of a daytime type of strain.
Whether you’re looking for indica or sativa effects, either version of Strawberry Kush will do the job when it comes to medicinal uses. It’s great for stress reduction and helps with depression, and can also take the edge off of body pain. Although it’s not super strong when it comes to THC, it’s strong enough that mild cramps, headaches, or soreness can dissipate with ease. Some users turn to the indica-dominant strain for help with insomnia as well.

An awesome strain for those who have limited growing space or minimal experience, Strawberry Kush will flower into compact little plants that are easy to maintain. They have a tendency to get rather branchy, especially when cultivated outside, so growers might want to use sea of green methods for better results. A short flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks produces a healthy yield that smells great.
New smokers may want to study up on their cannabis effects before smoking Strawberry Kush because depending on which type of strain they receive, their expectations could vary wildly. Whether it’s an indica experience or a sativa blend that gets you high, there’s no doubt you’ll love this strain’s smell, taste, and smooth high with awesome effects.
This is the cross from one of my UK mates.
Information from HSO:
The New by Humboldt Seed Organization is a feminized Indica-dominant marijuana plant resulting from our best collaboration yet: Sherbinski x HSO. By crossing a Girl Scout Cookies with a Larry OG, we’ve created an amazing strain with gassy overtones and hints of cinnamon/Cookies. Smooth taste, high resin count, and strong couchlock effect ensure this debut collab is one of many not to be missed.
Our Debut Collaboration with Sherbinski
Gassy, intensely fragrant buds
The New, descended from the famous Girl Scout Cookies (Sherbs cut) and a selected Larry OG, is our first of many collaborations with Mario Guzman, aka Sherbinski, known worldwide for his passion for top-of-the-line marijuana.
The resulting hybrid is a stunning quality-oozing plant with above-average resin count that boasts buds wrapped in a delicious subtle gassy cinnamon aroma. A medium growth is recommended indoors, while outdoors the greenhouse and dry, warm, temperate, and Mediterranean climates are preferred.
Strong earthy flavor
A full-bodied, soothing effect, perfect for chilling
The New was first in Sherbinski's stabilization process. Her flavor is sweet and gassy with hints of cinnamon and petrol, and her crushing THC levels (28%) endow her with a sense-awakening hard-hitting buzz. In a nutshell, a top-of-the-line cannabis strain.
Perfect for chilling out and experiencing that nostalgic Cookies effect and taste. A cannabis jewel that is now available to everyone!

A stable cross
A strain built on solid foundations
The origins of Pineapple Skunk have more than proven their personality: Big Bud and a selection of Skunks. This elegant aromatic plant that does particularly well in SOG and SCROG and requires just growth control when cultivated indoors. Outdoors, it responds best to temperate and Mediterranean climates as well as to the comfort of the greenhouse. Remember to use an anti-odour system if you want your plants to go unnoticed indoors.
Perfect balance
Each element in the right proportion
Pineapple Skunk has a telltale aroma of lemon, Skunk and fresh flowers. The flavor offers clear notes of ripe fruit, pine, lemon, Skunk and slightly hot spices. The powerful long-lasting effect is physically and cerebrally balanced. A Skunk hybrid worth discovering.
