Strawberry Cough (Dutch Passion)

3/26/2021 - Both seedlings are doing great so far...they are both stretching a little bit further than I want. Gonna lower the light an inch and a half today to hopefully combat that. - Also turned on my circulation fans today - build up the stem strength. - They are under a humidity dome right now and should be under that for the rest of this week - really until I up pot them. - thinking of putting them directly into 5 gal in a week to a week and a half - maybe go with a 7 gal a week or two before putting them into flower.

week of 4/1/2021 4/7/21 - It was a really busy week for me and so I did not get the update up as planned My apologies - however, the week for the ladies was really good. They had no real issues - the stretching stopped and they were ready to transplant on the 3rd of April During the previous week I put my soil together. It sat for 8 days before I transplanted. Composition is below reused/recycled 1.5 cubic feet of Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil brand new 1.5 cubic feet of Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil amended with: -8.50 cups of worm castings (Worm Gold) -0.75 cups of Granular Humic Acids (Down to Earth) -0.20 cups of Langbeinite (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Seabird Guano (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Insect Frass (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Kelp Meal (Down to Earth) -3.50 cups of Bio-Live (Down to Earth) I used this brand before (Down to Earth) and absolutely loved it so I'm using it again.

Week of 4/8/21 - Only watered once this week - 6.2pH - gave each about half a gallon - Both ladies have done really well this week. #2 has some issues - I think the soil was a little hot for it. Other than that they are both doing really well. - Plan on topping both early this upcoming week.

Week of 4/15/2021 This week has gone well so far for these ladies...Topped #1 on 4/16/21 and left #2 alone. I'll top #2 tomorrow the 22nd of April. Watered once with a pH of 6.6 Going to start training in the next couple of days. Mostly LST, just gonna tie some branches down and get a proper canopy started.

Week of 4/22/2021 4/23/21 Topped the second girl today before they go to sleep. - didn't miss and got it fully topped this week! Gonna water a little later on this week - aim for a pH around 6.2 or 6.4. 4/28/21 Did not end up watering this week - giving a little bit of a drought period. They look like they love it so far - still no drooping. Gonna water early in their next week and go for the 6.2 range Noticed a few fungal gnats and that is why I'm going with the drought periods right now Ordered some sticky traps and gonna get the adult ones and keep the drought periods up to get the larvae - should be here in the next couple of days.

Week of 4/29/2021 Everything went really well this week. Started the 18/6 light cycle and will slowly titrate down to about 16/8 over the next couple of weeks until flip I tied #1 back on 4/29/21 - she was growing way too large - I want everything to be roughly the same size before flower so I can trellis (ie. SCROG) I am leaving #2 to continue growing as she pleases. The internodal spacing is shorter than #1 so she has a ways to go before I'd consider tying her back Watered on 4/29/21 at 6.8pH and used .4 gallons each and left a runoff of 1.3 gallons for all 5 sharing the same runoff bin The Soil Composition - reused/recycled 1.5 cubic feet of Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil - brand new 1.5 cubic feet of Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil -8.50 cups of worm castings (Worm Gold) -0.75 cups of Granular Humic Acids (Down to Earth) -0.20 cups of Langbeinite (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Seabird Guano (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Insect Frass (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Kelp Meal (Down to Earth) -3.50 cups of Bio-Live (Down to Earth)

Week of 5/6/21 Both ladies did really well this week. I turned the light intensity up to 50% on 5/8/21 I amended the soil on 5/11/21...the amendments as follows: -0.25 cups of Worm Castings (Worm Gold) -0.25 cups of Insect Frass (DtE) -0.125 cups of Seabird Guano (DtE) -0.062 cups of Langbeinite (DtE) I then watered both at a pH 6.5 - Gave each 0.75 gallons - Left a full gallon in the runoff for all 5 ladies in the tent The Soil Composition - reused/recycled 1.5 cubic feet of Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil - brand new 1.5 cubic feet of Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil -8.50 cups of Worm Castings (Worm Gold) -0.75 cups of Granular Humic Acids (Down to Earth) -0.20 cups of Langbeinite (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Seabird Guano (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Insect Frass (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Kelp Meal (Down to Earth) -3.50 cups of Bio-Live (Down to Earth)

Week of 5/13/21 Both ladies did really well this week. Not all that much to report - I am seeing a few signs of some nute burn Gave them a little much last week... I got in the Recharge that I ordered at the end of the week and will be watering with it next week. Hoping the Recharge will help my soil life and help disperse the nutes properly and avoid any more burn. I am going to defoliate pretty heavily this next week and then flip into flower at the end of the week I watered both at a pH 6.1 on 5/16/21- Gave each 0.75 gallons - Left a full gallon in the runoff for all 5 ladies in the tent The Soil Composition - reused/recycled 1.5 cubic feet of Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil - brand new 1.5 cubic feet of Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil -8.50 cups of Worm Castings (Worm Gold) -0.75 cups of Granular Humic Acids (Down to Earth) -0.20 cups of Langbeinite (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Seabird Guano (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Insect Frass (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Kelp Meal (Down to Earth) -3.50 cups of Bio-Live (Down to Earth) I amended the soil on 5/11/21...the amendments as follows: -0.25 cups of Worm Castings (Worm Gold) -0.25 cups of Insect Frass (DtE) -0.125 cups of Seabird Guano (DtE) -0.062 cups of Langbeinite (DtE)

Week of 5/20/21 I mixed the Recharge in at 0.75tsp per gallon after pH got down to 6.8 I then watered in on 5/22/21 Gave each 0.75 gallons - less runoff this time...gave about a total of 0.50 gallons Not much else to report with this week. Everything seemed to go well The Recharge seemed to do really well for these two They perked right up and have been doing great...maybe a little to big. Certainly bigger than I had planned...but I'm super excited to see how they turn out The stem rub is very fruity...like fresh strawberry jam The Soil Composition - reused/recycled 1.5 cubic feet of Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil - brand new 1.5 cubic feet of Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil -8.50 cups of Worm Castings (Worm Gold) -0.75 cups of Granular Humic Acids (Down to Earth) -0.20 cups of Langbeinite (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Seabird Guano (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Insect Frass (Down to Earth) -0.50 cups of Kelp Meal (Down to Earth) -3.50 cups of Bio-Live (Down to Earth) I amended the soil on 5/11/21...the amendments as follows: -0.25 cups of Worm Castings (Worm Gold) -0.25 cups of Insect Frass (DtE) -0.125 cups of Seabird Guano (DtE) -0.062 cups of Langbeinite (DtE)

Week of 5/27/21 Flipped to 11/13 on 5/28/21 I watered in on 5/28/21 at a pH of 6.75 Gave each 1 gallon Gave them a fairly light defoliation on 5/28/21 before watering in. The internodal spacing and the leaf formation seems to allow a lot of light to penetrate They have both grown another 4 or 5 inches this week Definitely expecting them to at least double their size by the end of stretch The stem rub is very fruity still, but now there is a little ether/gasoline scent as well. Very excited for the both of them!!
