Costa Rica Strain Small Fruits.
    #18411070 - 06/12/13 09:52 PM (11 years, 7 months ago)

Hey, i was wondering if anyone else had any experience with this strain, from what i've seen they're always rather small fruits, approximately 2" tall, however i have one monster that's 4" :rolleyes:

i think genetics within the strain has a bigger impact than the strain itself..

How deep was your substrate?

A smaller substrate will make for smaller fruits.

it's gonna be genetics and available moisture that will determine your size

Maybe half an inch, i was mainly asking if anyone else has grown CR and had small fruits, or grown and had large fruits?

1/2" substrate & genetics are the culprits here.
There's a strain discussion thread at the top of the MC forum.
Please use it for strain discussion.

Well, I could tell you any CRs I have had experience with are smaller than most cubes, but a half inch substrate is tiny so I'd say that has quite a bit to do with it.

I guess now you'll need to describe your fruiting chamber...

Type: Shotgun (SGFC)?
Size/Number/Placement of holes?
Perlite? How deep?

Temperature?
Fanning schedule?
Lighting schedule?
Misting schedule?
Color of PF cakes?

Pictures may help. Help us so we can help you.

OH, you did cakes not a bulk sub........ gotcha.

Yeah that would just be genetics then. Like I said, my experience with cr's is that are smaller than usual, yet they pack a punch, if you know what I mean :wink:

Well, all the basics check out. If it's not you it might just be genetics. I'm assuming MS syringe?

Lets just hope they're potent as f*ck! They say size doesn't matter, right?

PS: Just clone the biggest one, and go from there...

I'm planning on that, and i got the syringe from a sponsor, not sure if i can say there name.

But i have one more question, they're not bruising, is that normal? (they bruise only slightly brown.)
