Strawberry Pie - Just Like Grandma's

Thanks for stopping by at week 7 and taking a look at this Strawberry fun! 😀 Feel free to stop by and say hi to my gorilla, she is next door keeping an eye on my strawberry's. 👈 The light was at 20in/50cm with 60% intensity, should be around 550 PPFD or 45 DLI at the canopy. I performed some very light defoliation, couple of leaves here and there, and will continue so to ensure air flow and light exposure to the bud sites. Stress symptoms will be more evident now and appear in the form of slow growth, yellow and discolored foliage, and burnt leaf tips. With said, I have noticed some minor burnt edges and leaf tips and since I've been using 1/4 dose of nutrients I know it is not nutrient burn, so I believe it is lack potassium. I am increasing my "bloom" nutrients with higher levels of potassium and phosphorus to stimulate bud growth and hopefully slow stress symptoms. During this stage she will continue to develop roots but much more energy is put into flower/bud formation. Elongation continues but a a very slow rate. Calyxes with pistils continue to develop and buds fill in and growing really is getting exciting now. Day 43: Monitored and rotated to provide light at different angles Day 44: Watered with 2L of water and added a .5ml/L dose of bio-grow, 3ml/L bio-bloom, and .5ml/L of top-max (PH 6.5) and performed some light defoliation Day 45: Monitored and rotated to provide light at different angles Day 46: Watered with 2L of water and added 1ml/L of bio-heaven with water at PH 6.5 Day 47: Monitored and rotated to provide light at different angles Day 48:Watered with 2L of water and added a .5ml/L dose of bio-grow, 3ml/L bio-bloom, and .5ml/L of top-max (PH 6.5) and performed some light defoliation Day 49: Monitored and rotated to provide light at different angles Happy Growing to everyone!!
