Strawberry Pie [micro-grow: 34g/23cm]

M420_GROWS So, we got 2 girls - let's call them Aqua and Oxy, left to right. Both have small issues - Aqua is rolling her 1st leaves extremely and Oxy has small leaf deformations. Oxy had a slow start in germination week but is now speeding up. I run lamps dimmed to 90W each in this week, increased to max 120W each by today. I have extremely dry RH in this tent, dropped down to 36% earlier in this week, surprised. Added a swamp cooler, 2l of fog/day help to keep RH by 65%, let's see.

M420_GROWS Aqua on the left side still has a PH-issue and curling the leaves - 7.0 on drainage. So I have washed & dried the stonewool cube. After couple days the plant started to look a bit better and showed first roots out of the cube. I have replaced it back in the pot, let's see. Oxy on the right side is developing good and fist, showed yesterday 1st stigmas and the roots, happy. I had some sample of sugar royale, so I started to add it to girls diet. Since drainage on output is rather leachy, I assume it is OK to keep adding fulvic and amino acids to solution, let's see if I am correct with this.

M420_GROWS The second seed didn't make it - it was a mistake to put it back into pot. I think the main problem was too wet rockwool cube, with mislead PH. But her sister has shown a well development in this week. I think using the root fungus is a bit too much for me yet. I am OK with its aggressive art and its smell but its affects on plant itself confuses me and it is a lot more difficult to control PH. We have watched amazing root development in less then 48h (Tue-Thu). Fungus coated everything under water surface with thick white fungus skin, incl. root-tips. After that I see no visible root grow. Have changed water, took measurements to slow down fungus grow - same results. However, above ground the plant shows nice progress, no idea what is going on and if I do the thing right... Beside of fungus thing, I like to watch her grow. Very long and narrow leaf-fingers. She is in no rush to produce flowers and trichs yet - I guess she targets for a rather longer life. Will try to do my best to provide her right conditions for that. Dimmed both lamps to half power - she gets in sum 120W from 2 lamps currently, will increase to 180W and to 240W in next two week. Switching to pre-flower dosage now.

M420_GROWS Very slow grow in height but very productive coverage of trichs even on fan leaves. Bud development is also quite promising. Have tried HST on two side brunches - it was a bit too hard on one of them but the girl seems to have solved the issue in couple days. There was a visible root grow in one day of this week - very next day new roots were covered in root fungus and slowed down again. Well root fungus, I got already some ideas to gain more control over you in my next grows... Not sure how common this is but I have never saw something like this before - look at the picture "Double Side-Brunch" Like to watch her mean looking curly fan leaves ;)

M420_GROWS With rising tempts outside it got too hot inside the tent with 2 lamps, thus I have removed one and will adjust the diary setup accordingly. Also I think two lamps are not necessary for her sweet size, so it's a win-win situation :) Root fungus either has died or just changing its cycle - there was no new fungus coating on the roots in this week and the roots re-started to grow, finally. She gained 2cm of height in this week, I will switch to flowering diet now and remove sugar royal and Diamond nectar. I have to order a new PH-meter - had to mix the solution adjusting the PH by intuition today, no fun... Did only a light defoliation in this week. Trichoma coverage on fan leaves is lovely, grow baby!

M420_GROWS Continues super beautiful and compact grow. A lot of new roots in this week. In hope to clean residues of dead root-fungus I have added a bit of NoMercy bacterias, let's see. Have started to gather & dry defoliation material for extracts.

M420_GROWS Was very hot outside in this week - has reached max of +37°C in tent once. RH in between 30-40%, used swamp vent once as RH dropped under 30%. Made decent defoliation, gathered probably 15-20g of sugar leaves for extracts, will let her be for next days to recover and flower. Roots seem to feel good. Frosty buds and trichomes everywhere, she is like glazed - I am like in love.

M420_GROWS Still below 23cm and getting frostier every day. No trainings. Smell is weak and only when she is being touched but amazingly tasty! Will keep her on flowering diet but want to switch to rippen soon

M420_GROWS A slow and sweet week. Buds get bigger very slow and sweet. Couple of new flowers, not much a bit. Have switched to ripen diet, a power food to eat. Wish you all a good grow weeks!

M420_GROWS Who needs brunches? Don't you find here any! After a week of ripen diet she is still shooting some few new flowers. Now let us flush for a while until harvest.

M420_GROWS Flush week went weel, just look at the pictures. Healthy roots. She is still shooting couple of new flowers. Should I harvest soon or let her grow for a bit longer? Let's see.

M420_GROWS This is 2nd week of flushing - she looks beautiful! Upper buds flowers look indeed like fat little berries :) I think she is ready, I will cut her soon. I got from her 10g of sugar leaves till now, most of them from earlier gathering mid of grow. Got 0.5g of DME extract - waiting for complete evaporation of gas.

M420_GROWS Cut her after 2-3 days of dark dessert, roots were already almost dry. Left her hanging upside-down for a week, cut and packed the buds in containers at 62% RH and placed them in the fridge. Was out of town for a while, tasting vape and extracts yet. As for micro-grow - it is very easy to maintain, predestined to be completely automated or to get hidden. Progressive yield reduction, better for multi-plant watering systems. No bother cutting sugar leaves, very little smell also late of grow. Got only a little of extract in this grow but I have to say, the extract of this baby is really something - soft, mouthwatering and boom!
