meneerGreen 26-4, Today I took 5 seeds of the Strawberry out of the fridge, I need 4 but I want to make sure I have 4, because I can't take one out later since they'll be in one system and then I'll have a backlog that I can't catch up on. 28-4, Today I placed the 5 seeds for germination using the coffee filter method and now I just have to hope they all germinate (I have full confidence in them) and that they turn into beautiful plants. I'm going to let them grow indoors for about 2 to 3 weeks before they go into the system, so they'll have a head start, and it's probably warmer indoors than in the shed where they'll be placed, as I don't want to heat it up. The specifications for this strain: Type: Strawberry Cough Genotype: 80% Sativa / 20% Indica Flowering time: 9 to 10 weeks Sex: Feminized Yield: 400 grams/m2 (indoor) 400 grams/per plant (outdoor) Height indoor: Average Height outdoor: Average THC: 18% Flavor: Flowers, Herbs, Sweet Effect: Energetic, Happy, Relaxed. Seed company: Green House / Hy-Seeds 29-4, Today I prepared water, EC 0.8, pH 5.5, added 0.1 ml root stimulator to 1 liter of water, 12 drops pH-, 0.20 grams Powderfeeding long flowering. 30-4, Today I put 4 of the 5 Strawberries into the plugs, they had a root from 0.7 to +/- 1 cm, the last one went into the plug in the evening, unfortunately, one root was damaged (a small tip broke off) I hope it still makes it, I'd prefer to have 1 reserve. 1-5, The first one already crawled out of the plug today, that's nice and quick, I hope the rest follows soon, at least 3 of them because I want 4 reasonably equal ladies if possible. The rest of the ladies are still covered so they get little to no light because the one that crawled out of the plug obviously gets light right away. In the evening, 3 more joined, so 4 ladies under the light, that's nice. 2-5, Today already 4 mini plants, now just hoping they all keep going. 3-5, The ladies are stretching a bit but tomorrow they will go into the growing box, 3 of the 4 ladies in the making already had a root sticking out of the plug, so that's going smoothly, so to speak. Tonight I prepared water, added to 10 liters, 1 ml Silica power, 2 grams Powderfeeding L.F., 1 ml Root stimulator, 3 ml pH-, EC 0.8, pH 5.5, will measure again tomorrow and adjust if necessary. 4-5, Today I transferred the ladies to the Hydro growing box (homemade), I lowered the pH a bit because it had risen, but I expected that, it's back to pH 5.5 now. 5-5, The temperature under the fluorescent light was 31 degrees this morning with an RH of 35%, so the temp was a bit high and the RH a bit low, since the lamp hood hangs quite low at the beginning I can explain that, I will try to do something about it in the coming days, but as the ladies grow and the hood goes up, that problem will resolve itself. For now, I've opened the cabinet a bit more and the fan is positioned so passionately that it blows under the hood, I'll check tomorrow (or tonight) if it bears any fruit. I also lowered the pH of the water again because after measuring it this morning it turned out to have risen to 6.2, I added 300 ml of water with a pH of 3.0, when I measured it again shortly after it was at 5.9, for now, I'll leave it like this and measure tomorrow and lower it a bit further (if it hasn't dropped further).

meneerGreen Week 1 (6-5 to 12-5) Watering: 3 liters Temperature: 33.7 at 20 (lights on, lights off) RH 48 at 33% (highest, lowest). EC: 0.8 pH: 5.5 to 5.7 The Strawberries are actually doing quite well, I germinated 5 because I need at least 4 for the 1 x 1 x 2 meter tent that I'm going to run this summer (and maybe even 2), but I ended up with 5 Strawberries germinated and they're all doing their thing. So I have a luxury problem or at least 1 spare, if none of them fail then this last lady will replace Mohammed in the bucket, coincidentally she's smaller than the rest so that's advantageous in this case, she can stay under the fluorescent light a bit longer. The temperature was quite high at first, that's because the hood with the fluorescent light was hanging right above it so it couldn't dissipate heat well, and that was also because I couldn't put a little fan underneath, that problem has since been solved, the lamp hood is a bit higher now and there's a fan underneath so the temperature is now around 27 to 28 degrees and there's some airflow between the ladies. Just to add, the 3 liters of water I gave was mainly to replace water because the pH was rising and I wanted to bring it down.

meneerGreen Week 2 (13-5 to 19-5) Watering: 100 liters Temperature: 27.5 to 22 (lights on, lights off) RH 56 to 53% (highest, lowest). EC: 0.8 pH: 5.6 The above values are from the first 4 days (except for the watering, which is from day 4). 16-5, Today I prepared 100 liters of water, tomorrow 4 out of the 5 Strawberries will go into the 1 x 1 x 2 meter tent that I’ve been getting ready over the past few days, added to 100 liters of water, 100 ml of hydrogen peroxide, 10 ml of Silicapower, 60 grams of Powderfeeding L.F., 34 ml of pH-, which brings the values to EC 1.2, pH 5.6. 17-5, Today I moved the ladies into the tent, I didn’t note any values because the tent hasn’t been running for 24 hours yet, in a day or two I’ll have good values, I did take a photo of the temperature and RH at that moment but that doesn’t say much. I now have 1 Strawberry left and if everything goes well and I finish what I still need to do (making a small hydro system) then this lady will go into the bucket and yes, also in hydro because I pre-grew her for hydro so I can’t put her in the soil anymore, at least that doesn’t seem like a good plan to me, and since I don’t want to throw her away, I’ll try it this way. 18 and 19-5 I checked the values and they are pretty good, I’m not entirely dissatisfied, temperature around 27 degrees with the lights on, and around 19 with the lights off, it has been quite warm the last few days so it might drop a bit lower if it gets colder, but the lamp is currently at 50% at a height of 60 cm, so I think it will be fine. The RH was at its highest 90%, which is quite high but that was the first day so not really a good measurement since I forgot to reset it, the second day it was 70% and I can live with that, the RH with the lights on averaged 62% and that’s good, so I’ll be busy fine-tuning in the coming days but I’m confident it will be fine, and if not, it is what it is and we’ll see where the ship lands. The pH rose slightly by the end of the week but has been stable at 6.0 for a few days now both in the system and in the nutrient tank, so I’m not doing anything about it since it’s pretty stable, if it rises further, I’ll take measures and lower it a bit.

meneerGreen Week 3 (20-5 to 26-5) Watering: not measured. (estimate +/- 15 liters) Temperature: 24.1 with lights on, 16.5 with lights off, RH 70 to 56% (highest, lowest). EC: 1.0 to 1.1 pH: 5.8 to 6.0 The values this week were fairly stable, the temperature did decrease slightly, at the beginning of the week it was 27 degrees with lights on and 17.8 with lights off, by the end of the week it was still 21.9 with lights on and 16.5 with lights off, the lowest measured temperature this week was 15.5 and the highest 27 degrees, which gives the average temperature from the indicated values. The water temperature was around 20 degrees this week, I set it that way and it works out nicely, so no complaints there. I would prefer the temperature in the tent to be a bit higher, but since I can't heat it, I can live with it. It can only get warmer as we move further into the year. The RH is fine, with an average of around 60% I'm satisfied. 25-5, Today I prepared a new batch for tomorrow, the EC was dropping a bit and was at 1.0, the ladies probably want a bit more now, so it's time for a new batch. I prepared 70 liters with an EC of 1.7, this seems a bit high but I can't get (or make) the system completely empty, so I expect an EC of around 1.5 to 1.6, which corresponds with the feeding schedule. Added to 70 liters: 65 g Powderfeeding, 6 ml Silicapower, 60 ml Hydrogen peroxide, 10 ml pH-, which gives the following values: EC 1.7, pH 5.9. The pH will probably rise a bit, so I'll measure again tomorrow and possibly adjust the acidity. 26-5, Measured the nutrient water again: EC 1.7, pH 6.1. I'm going to replace the water in the system now, I'll leave the pH as it is for now because the pH in the system is lower (5.7). I'll first see what the result is before I adjust it. An hour after replacing the nutrient water, I measured again; the water could mix well before I check it. The EC is now at 1.5, which is nice, but the pH was at 6.3, which I find strange since the pH in the batch was 6.1 and in the system 5.7. I expected a pH of around 6.0, so I'm not going to do anything for now but will wait until tomorrow. If it's still that high, I'll adjust the acidity. Also today, I topped the ladies; two definitely needed it, and I went ahead and did the other two as well. They are a bit smaller, but then the shoots can start growing right away. I think it will be fine later on, but we'll see how it goes.

meneerGreen Week 4 (27-5 to 2-6) Watering: +/- 30 liters. Temperature: 20.4 to 14.8 (lights on, lights off) RH 64 to 57% (highest, lowest). EC: 1.2 to 1.5 pH: 5.5 to 6.1 The EC started at 1.5 and was 1.2 by the end of the week, the pH was pretty much the same, starting at 6.1 and ending at 5.5, the values in the reservoir were fairly stable throughout the week, EC 1.7 and pH 6.2. 1-6, today I prepared a new reservoir for tomorrow, added 70 liters of water, there were still 10 liters in the reservoir so a total of 80 liters, also added Silica Power 6 ml, W.S.P. 60 ml, Powderfeeding 65 gr., pH- 10 ml, tomorrow I will measure everything again and possibly make some adjustments. 2-6, today I removed 30 liters from the system and topped it up with the new water, the EC in the reservoir was 1.7 and in the system 1.2 so I hope to end up at 1.5, the pH in the system was 5.5 and in the reservoir 6.2, so I hope to reach 5.8 here, will measure everything tomorrow and then I’ll know the values. Also did some leaf trimming today, I will have to do this regularly in the coming time, also increased the light from 50% to 60% of its power. A little something about the LED light I'm using, I have a Spider Farmer SF4000 (400 watts without the drivers) in this tent, I initially set it to 254 watts LED because I only used a max of 80% of the light, and when you realize that I start at 40 to 50% and veg at 24 watts, I end up averaging 254 watts by the end of the grow, it would be nice if you could fill in the actual watts used at the end of your diary 😊👍.

meneerGreen Week 5 (3-6 to 9-6) Watering: +/- 30 liters Temperature: 23.2 to 15.5 (lights on, lights off) RH 71 to 54% (highest, lowest). EC: 1.3 to 1.7 pH: 5.3 to 6.1 I'm slowly raising the EC to +/- 1.7 in the system, since it dropped quite quickly last time, I've prepared a tank (for next week) with an EC of 2.0, I do this one day in advance so everything is reasonably stable the next day. I haven't adjusted the pH in the tank, because the pH tends to drop in the system anyway. The first measurement of the pH in the tank was 6.1, but it (as expected) rose to 6.6, I don't expect it to go much higher than that. In the system, the pH dropped quickly again; by Sunday, the pH had already dropped to 5.5 and the EC to 1.3. I then replaced 10 liters of water from the system and added 1 scoop (+/- 5 to 6 grams, I didn't weigh it so it could be a bit more) and also 4 ml of pH+ to bring the pH back to a more reasonable level. I'll measure everything again tomorrow. A day later, the measurement showed the EC at 1.7 and the pH at 5.8; I couldn't have wished for better. But just before switching the tank (3 days later), the EC was already back down to 1.5 and the pH to 5.3, which is why I didn't adjust the pH in the new tank—let's see how that turns out. Added to the new tank: 60 liters of water, there were still 10 liters in it, so a total of 70 liters, Silica power 6 ml, hydrogen peroxide 60 ml, Powderfeeding 70 grams, pH- none. Tomorrow (9-6) I'll switch the tank and measure everything again the day after. Additionally, I've raised the lamp slightly to 50 cm; I initially had it at 60 cm, but there wasn't much left of that as the ladies are growing well, so when I measured last time, there was only 40 cm left. Hence, I raised it a bit—you don't want them to burn, and I think they can handle the 50 cm now, especially since the lamp is only at 60%.

meneerGreen Week 6 (10-6 to 16-6) Watering: +/- 30 liters Temperature: 25.9 at 16 (lights on, lights off) RH 73 to 54% (highest, lowest). EC: 1.7 to 1.8 pH: 5.5 to 6.0 With a reservoir EC of 2.0 and a pH of 7.0, I still had to adjust the system water daily with 2 to 4 ml pH+ to keep the pH in the system between 5.5 and 6.0. On the last day before replacing the reservoir, I didn't acidify it and let the pH drop back to 5.5 in this case because there's still some water left in the system (I take out about 30 liters), and with the new water added, I hope to get back to around 6.0; otherwise, it will drop daily, and I'll have to acidify again, and this way, you keep experimenting to see what works best. On Wednesday (15-6), I made a new reservoir with an EC of 1.8 and a pH of 7.0, which is without adding pH-, I want to see how much and how quickly the pH will drop, but that also depends a bit on how high the pH is in the system after replacement (16-6), and I'll only know that tomorrow (17-6) when I measure it. 13-6, today switched to 12/12, I don't want to wait too long because last time it became a mess, and I want to avoid that this time, you understand. This week I removed a lot of leaves and also tied down the first shoots; I did pinch the shoots a bit to prevent any breakage, this following an incident with another plant of mine where some shoots broke, which I hadn't experienced before, so now I'm just being cautious. 16-6, set the light to 70% and raised the light to 60 cm above the tops. Also placed the scrog net at the beginning of the week (10-6).

EC: 1.8 to 1.9 pH: 5.3 to 6.0 Not much to report this week, regularly removed some leaves and also some shoots, and secured a few shoots as well. I had to add about 3 to 4 ml of pH+ to the system almost every day this week to keep the value between 5.3 and 6.0, on average I was probably around pH 5.6 this week, system volume is +/- 60 liters. Also, at the end of this week (Thursday), I set the lamp to 80% of its power (total power of the lamp is 400 watts).

meneerGreen Week 8 (June 24 - June 30) 2nd week 12/12. Watering: +/- 35 liters. Temperature: 28.3 to 18.1 (lights on, lights off) RH 71 to 53% (highest, lowest). EC: 1.9 to 2.0 pH: 4.3 to 5.8 The pH is still an issue; I added pH+ all week (3 to 8 ml per day in +/- 60 liters of water), whereas in soil growing you mainly use pH-, I primarily use pH+ in the hydro system. The pH was 4.3 once and 4.5 once, the rest of the week it was between 4.9 and 5.8, and I can live with that. The EC was nice and stable all week, fluctuating a bit between 1.9 and 2.0, which isn't bad. But the ladies are looking good, a bit uneven but I can only blame myself for that. I switched over a bit early and didn't really tie down many shoots because I let quite a few stay, which I normally don't do, so it's a bit of an experiment, you could say. I did remove some shoots later, but it's not really ideal, so I won't do that again. Next round, I'll do what I always do: leave 4 to 6 shoots (on top) and then spread them over the SCROG net, and of course switch over in time; otherwise, it will still become a mess, and I know all about that. This week I removed quite a bit of leaf and some shoots, but you can't really see much of that anymore. I'll probably have to remove a lot more leaves in the coming weeks to keep it open. I also had to raise the lamp again this week because the ladies are growing nicely upwards, and they will still grow a bit in that regard. Starting next week, I will count the flowering weeks; they now have clearly visible flowering. I'll keep the lamp at 80% for now.

meneerGreen Week 9 (1-7 to 7-7) 1st week of flowering. Watering: +/- 35 liters. Temperature: 28.3 to 17.1 (lights on, lights off) RH 69 to 55% (highest, lowest). EC: 1.9 to 2.3 (last day). pH: 4.9 to 6.5 (last day). Where the values in the reservoir were nice and stable (a bit logical), I had to add quite a bit of pH+ in the system this week to keep the pH value around 5. I started with adding 8 ml of pH+ and that went up to 20 ml. I did give them Kali water glass once in between, which also raises the pH and they get some extra potassium. The rising EC value is also explainable because the many pH+ raises the EC a bit. Next week I’m going to start adding PK booster, maybe a bit early (according to the schedule 3rd week of flowering), but I’m still unsure about what they actually mean by the 3rd week of flowering. Is that from visible flowering or from switching to 12/12? So I’m keeping it a bit in the middle and starting the 2nd week of flowering with the PK booster. Other than that, it’s growing fantastically, and with a bit of luck, I won’t run into height issues. Some buds have grown quite tall, and I carefully bent them, which went well, but they don’t seem to mind at all; they’re almost all standing straight again, although I did benefit a bit from it, but not much. Next week I’m going to remove some leaves again because it’s getting quite dense, so it’s time again. I want to make sure all the buds get enough light to grow big; I’m not waiting for a lot of fluff. I’ll keep the lamp at 80% for now. I think I’ll set the lamp to 100% starting from week 4 of flowering. I did raise the lamp today (7-7) and also the fans. I’ll hold the lux meter underneath tomorrow to see how many lux it indicates and how high the lamp hangs from the tops.

meneerGreen Week 10 (8-7 to 14-7) 2nd week of flowering. Watering: +/- 40 liters. Temperature: 28.1 to 18.3 (lights on, lights off) RH 75 to 59% (highest, lowest). EC: 2.2 to 2.8 pH: 4.3 to 6.8 As mentioned before, keeping the pH in check is not easy; I have to constantly mix in pH+ to keep it somewhat reasonable. The ladies don’t seem to mind the fluctuations, so I don’t have a problem with it either, but it remains tricky. The EC has increased a bit towards the end of the week. I started on the higher side, but with all the pH+ I’ve been adding, it has only gone up. However, the ladies don’t seem to be affected by it, as I see no signs of overfeeding, so that seems fine to me. On 8-7, I did some serious trimming of the ladies in terms of leaves. I also removed a few lower shoots that were beneath the top leaves and would therefore get too little light to become really nice buds. They can better put that energy into the top buds; at least, that’s what I hope. So, not much to complain about regarding the ladies so far. I’ll start next week with a slightly lower EC (1.7), but since it will be mixed with what’s left in the system (I almost empty it completely), the EC will still be around 2.0, which I find acceptable. This upcoming week, the EC will likely rise again due to the addition of pH+, so we’ll see how that goes. Otherwise, I’ll start even lower when I mix a new batch next week. I’ll also start with the PK booster next week; it’s week 3 of flowering, so it’s all according to the schedule. They’ve already had a bit this week, but that’s negligible.

meneerGreen Week 11 (15-7 to 21-7) 3rd week of flowering. Watering: 40 to 45 liters. Temperature: 29.1 to 18.1 (lights on, lights off) RH 66 to 50% (highest, lowest). EC: 2.1 to 2.4 pH: 4.8 to 6.6 It was nice and warm this week, so it was a bit warmer in the tent too. Luckily, the tent is in a well-insulated space, and since the lamp is still running at 80%, the highest temperature measured this week was 32 degrees, and the ladies can handle that. In my greenhouse, it was a comfortable 45+ degrees this week, and I didn't hear the ladies complain, although I did have to haul buckets of water around 😂😂😂. But things are looking good in the tent; the buds are getting bigger week by week (thankfully). It's not a perfectly even field, but I'm not entirely dissatisfied. You learn from it, and with each new round, it should go a bit better, at least that's what I'm hoping for. This week, the EC rose again, mainly due to having to add quite a bit of pH+. I added K.W.G. once during the trial and some pH+, and after that, the pH stayed above 6.0 for the rest of the week. I even had to add pH- once, so that's something to keep an eye on. Therefore, this coming week, I plan to add K.W.G. at the beginning and see how that goes. If it has a positive effect, it might be an option to keep doing that; a little extra potassium can't hurt.

meneerGreen Week 12 (July 22 to July 28) 4th week of flowering. Watering: 40 to 45 liters Temperature: 29.3 at 18 (lights on, lights off) RH 63 to 52% (highest, lowest). EC: 1.8 to 2.5 pH: 4.8 to 6.8 As you can see, the pH remains difficult to manage; I really need to dive deeper into that, and the EC also rises during the week, but I think that's because I have to mix in a lot of pH+ to keep the pH somewhat stable. At the beginning of the week, I added K.W.G. (Kali water glass) and 5 ml to see what effect that would have. The EC shouldn't rise much from that, but the pH should increase more, so I tried it out. The result was that the EC went from 2.0 to 2.2 and the pH from 5.4 to 6.1, not bad, so a bit of extra potassium is also good, but I can only add it once every 14 days. I think it's better than constantly adding pH+, but the EC rises just as fast, so I don't need to do it for that reason. This week I added 20 ml of pH+, which is 4 ml less than last week, and that's due to the K.W.G. addition. Also this week, I replaced 10 liters of water in the system with 10 liters of tap water, also to raise the pH and lower the EC. Next week I'll start with a lower EC; I had an EC of 1.8 to start with this week, and next week I'll begin with an EC of 1.5 to see what that does to the EC in the system. Additionally, this week I pruned a bucket of leaves, which was needed again. I could take off more, but I don't want to stress them too much since they're already in the 4th week of flowering.

meneerGreen Week 13 (29-7 to 4-8) 5th week of flowering. Watering: 40 to 45 liters. Temperature: 29.6 to 18.1 (lights on, lights off) RH 72 to 52% (highest, lowest). EC: 1.9 to 2.9 pH: 5.2 to 6.8 EC and pH remain a struggle, but the lady seems to be unaffected; I adjust it daily (as far as pH goes). I can't do much about the EC, it keeps rising due to the amount of pH+ I have to add. That's why I'm starting a new tank with a lower EC (1.3 for the coming week), but I don't know if that's a good idea since I think pH+ has little to do with nutrients. We'll see; we're going into week 6 of flowering, so if they show any nutrient deficiency, I can adjust that quickly, and I'll know not to do that again. I don't acidify the tank, and it has a value of 6.8 to 7.0; I know that the pH in the system drops quickly anyway, so why acidify? The first day after replacing the water in the system, I can already start adding pH+.

meneerGreen Week 14 (5-8 to 11-8) 6th week of flowering. Watering: +/- 40 to 45 liters. Temperature: 30.5 to 17.1 (lights on, lights off) RH 68 to 52% (highest, lowest). EC: 1.6 to 2.1 pH: 5.4 to 6.2 The values this week are a bit better, but on the other hand, I found a bud with bud rot this week, luckily not too much, but I could almost throw half of this bud in the trash. I didn't find anything else; I don't know how this is possible because the RH values are, in my opinion, quite good. I had a spike of 68, but most of the time it was below 60, so that doesn't seem too bad to me. But luckily, they're nearing the end, at least two of the ladies; the others seem to be lagging a bit. I have two that already have completely brown hairs and two that still have almost entirely white hairs. Also, the two with brown hairs are already completely milky; I need to take a better look at the other two. I can't really get in there well, so it's going to be a bit of a struggle. I think I'll harvest the first two ladies by the end of next week and the others as soon as they are also completely milky to prevent further issues. So if everything is completely milky, then by the end of next week, I'll be cutting all the ladies. I prefer to have a bit of amber, but I've had bud rot before, and it can go quickly if you're not careful, so I'm not taking any risks in that regard. I'm only giving them tap water now; I’m leaving the water that's still in the system and topping it up with tap water so that the EC values slowly but surely decrease. I'm trying to keep the pH around 6.0.

Echt een mooi soortje, ik heb haar meer gezet en nooit toprot in gehad, vandaar het mij verbaasde dat het er nu wel in zat, maar dat doet verder niet af aan het soortje.

Strawberry field. Week 14 - 20-8, knipafval

Strawberry field. Week 14 - 24-8, toppen

meneerGreen Week 15 (12-8 to 18-8) 7th week of flowering. Watering: 20 to 30 liters. Temperature: 32.3 to 20.3 (lights on, lights off) RH 61 to 49% (highest, lowest). EC: 1.8 dropping to 1.5 pH: 6.5 to 5.5 decreasing. This week (unfortunately) I had to take down the ladies, I found some bud rot again, and in hindsight, I'm glad I did because there turned out to be more of it, mostly around the middle of the plant, you know, where the fluff starts. But it did cost me some grams, how many exactly I don't know because I'm not going to weigh it, but it's definitely something to keep in mind for next time; I won't do it this way again. What might have also cost me some grams is the fact that I had to harvest these ladies 1 to 2 weeks too early. Luckily, they were generally milky, but if everything had gone well, I would have gone for some amber in there; it just wasn't meant to be, unfortunately. On the other hand, the yield didn't disappoint me entirely; the wet yield of buds is 2136 grams, and the trimming waste (with quite a bit of fluffy stuff) was 887 grams, so that was okay (I mean the yield of buds). I'm using everything, so with a total weight of 3023 grams, it looks good, I think. Of course, it's still a wait for the dry weight, but I'm feeling hopeful, especially since I only used a maximum of 80% of the lamp's capacity. I calculated that out, and I averaged 254 watts, ranging from 48 watts (growth cabinet) to 320 watts at the end in the tent, with everything in between.
