Week 9
The growth slowed last week, color is great, overall looking good, sugar leaves getting frosty, and smells becoming more pronounced. Pants are 42/48cm in height.
***Plan for the week:
1. Defoliate lightly as needed.
2. Monitor light height daily (30-35cm per mfg).
20-12-2023 (Day 57) - Fertigation PH 5.86/5.97, EC 1260/1230, 3/4L with good run-off. Removed a few leaves and small shaded bud sites below the ScrOG. Light raised to 32cm, dimming at 100%.
21-12-2023 (Day 58) - Fertigation PH 5.97, EC 1190, 2/3.5L with good run-off. Light verfied at 32cm. Plan to lightly defoliate tomorrow.
22-12-2023 (Day 59) - Fertigation PH 5.86/5.96, EC 1230/1130, 3/3.5L with good run-off. Light at 32cm. Defoliated ~10 fan leaves on each, will continue tomorrow. The smells continue to impress, some pistils are beginning to turn brown and flower sites have a slight light reddish color.
23-12-2023 (Day 60) - Fertigation PH 5.90, EC 1250, 2/3.5L with good run-off. Light at 32cm. Defoliated 10 fan leaves from #2. Switched positions of both fans to increase air flow for #2.
24-12-2023 (Day 61) - Fertigation PH 5.86, EC 1200, 2/3.5L with good run-off. Light at 32cm.
25-12-2023 (Day 62) - Fertigation PH 5.80/5.92, EC 1210/1200, 3/4.5L with good run-off. Flowers are bulking up and all seems well.
26-12-2023 (Day 63) - Fertigation PH 6.02/5.86, EC 1160/1200, 3/4.5L with good run-off. Light at 32cm.
End of week 9 for the Strawberry Gorillas, the flowers continue to bulk up, some pistils are beginning to turn brown, smells are increasing, sugar leaves are sparkling with trichomes, all seems well. Question when to begin TA's Final Part? 2-3 weeks from finish per instructions; may start next week.
When should I switch to Terra Aquatic's FinalPart? Recommended 2-3 weeks per manufacturer. These are Strawberry Gorillas grown in Coco at the beginning of week 10. Appreciate the feedback!
It looks to be a PK booster of sorts. 0-6-5 with some added Mg and S.
I would not say this is even required. All these items are in grow/bloom/micro.
It has no N so its just starving the plant out and will make it change colours. In the future i would not buy this again, just use the normal feed at reduced rates. Cheeper does same thing.
Granted you have it now, so just follow the TA feeding guide.

10 days in soilless, 10-20 days in soil with a EC of 2.0, seems like a lot to me. But thats what they suggest. Could always try one plant with it and one without and see what you like more. Given em both a proper cure.
Good Luck!
@NamasteDave, you're doing a great job no doubt!
Growing with coco can do wonders to your plants,
Look for as much information about growing with coco that's my best device 😉✌️🏽
Also If I were you I might consider some more light, 300/400w LEDs will be perfect in a 2x4 tent.
Following up!✌️🏽🌱
@1_Plant_Wonder,
Thank you for your kind words, very much appreciated. As a new grower it is somewhat difficult to know if I am doing things"OK". The plants appear healthy and the smells are nice, the Ladies have been patient with me. Getting closer to the finish line!
Thanks again!
@1_Plant_Wonder,
Thanks! Pleasure to grow these ladies, they produced very well and I learned a ton. The scissor hash and keif I captured during wet trimming was good, looking forward to the cure...
@Qutro,
Thank you. They took to the LST really well and I can see the benefits of this training technique. This is only my second grow, so lots of learning!
Good luck with with your grow my friend! Good job for a second grow!
Great strain choice 🤩
I see you currected the calmag deficiency by adding some...
The supplement you need the most ic coco is calmag, I start mine with 0.5-0.6 ml of calmag and stay there through the entire grow,
I also saturate my coco/perlite mix with the fertilizer solution before I put the seed in it, (making sure there's run off and keep my calmag at 0.6 ml)
Anyway plants seems to snap out of it!
Good luck 🤞🏽🍀

@BudBoutique,
Thanks for the support. Jiffy Pellets are in the photos and could be the jiffers you are referencing.
Happy to get some seeds to germinate, it seems to be my biggest hurdle.
