Hello! Week 2 is here already! These ladies are doing okay if a little small. I'm learning to judge a plant after 2 or 3 weeks in terms of growth rate comparison. Day 10 seems to be the first day of big growth for most of my plants so far, barring the first two veg is well underway by day 15. This week should show a big change for these ladies.
Day 8: Fertigated 2l.
Day 9: What? WHAT! Wow my gracious these girls must have been ready for their first feed because would you just look at that growth in 24 from the pair of them? Wow! These girls are about to go cray cray. Rearranged tent a bit and changed the fan to try and give myself a bit more space. Also added a couple of smaller fans.
I have adjusted the timer such that the main tent is now getting 20/4 upped from 18/6. After monitoring DLI at 18/6 for a week I am unhappy with the overall level but because of the varying heights of the plants I am limited in what I can do in adjusting the light height. Some areas were only getting 20 DLI. So I have rearranged to have the taller plants on the edges and the lowest in the middle and doing it this way all plants are getting between 35 and 50 DLI at 20/4 - although one or two cola tips here and there are getting 55. Will monitor for a week.
Day 10: Fertigated 2l. Not blown away by these ladies yet but let's see how we get on, they have certainly responded well to feeding. The Dark Opal Greek Basil companions are stunning.
Day 11: Growth unspectacular but steady.
Day 13: Fertigated 3l
Day 14: Fertigated 2l, pruned companions, and FIMmed both ladies. No more space for LST and not enough height so... "fuck it".
End of week summary. Pretty big growth from both. Beyonce still ahead but Solange catching her fast. Just cut their heads... lets see how they respond next week.
It's name that baby time! Can I please have your suggestions for names for these two sisters, both Strawberry Banana Auto.
Names beginning with S and B, one of each - bonus points for a great pair.
The darker one is plant A, the lighter plant B.
Moving along nice! I read it wasn't as fast as you hoped, but these ones will probably surprise you! Dark Opal Greek Basil is adding magic to the grow, beautiful! 👋👍👌
Nothing beats home grown fresh basil in some pizza sauce. I stopped growing for a while (after almost getting busted by the cable company in a prohibition state) and had about 8-10 fresh herbs growing on the closet. Too much pruning needed for some herbs indoors... Fruiting pants are better suited for indoor gardening. I am thinking hydroponic strawberries soon.
@MedicineMaker, I completely agree. My original plan for these two girls (supposed to be 3 but one failed due to my damaging it in scarification) was to LST them in opposite directions. Sort of a bit like the plan for the Epsilon F1's - except the F1s I am going to allow to get some height.
This one will surely pack a punch 👊 When you say G2 series, what do you mean by that? I have some FB Strawberry Pie seeds I'm looking forward to growing sometime. Best of luck on the grow!
@UnorthadoxDude, Got it, thanks for the explaining. I already can't wait for my next grow. This strain is going to be a fun one and I'm looking forward to watching your progress.
@MedicineMaker, So G2 is my second grow, although really it's my first proper grow. It includes various plants once these are all finished it will be the end of the grow series G2 and next time I do a grow series it will be G3.
Heyy,
Thanks a bunch for growing our genetics, and sharing this diary with us!
We hope that it was a nice experience
Have a good one, and happy harvest :)
