Germination

I had 4 seeds left and germinated 2 of them first, only one succeded, and then from the other 2 left which I started 6 days later again only one germinated. So for this grow, I have 2 Strawberry Cough started from seed one started 08/28/2023 and second one 09/06/2023. Also, I got 2 C-Vibez that started 08/28/2023 that were free seeds gifted to me with order. Thanks, Dutch Passion! One germinated. Bad germination was at least partly my mistake. When I moistened the paper towels I put a bit too much water which I realized only later on. Also, I gotta commend those seeds that germinated they survived a lot of bad care ony my part and also they survived a puppy attack from my recent new puppy that was 7 month old and managed to be unsuprivised with plants in an opened grow area for like 5 sec. In that 5 sec he managed to dig Strawberry seedling out of soil completely with taproot I shit you not. C Vibez was a bit lanky and he managed to completely bend it on soil. I managed to fix C Vibez easily with making it straight again and covering the stem with some soil for support. Strawberry cough I planted it again with taproot not broken and it somehow survived. These seeds are survivors and I promised to myself and them I will try to keep better care of them so they will reward me with big tasty buds I Used Cosmorrow 20W Growing x2 for seedling stage which lasted for 4 weeks as plants had a tough germination stage and were attacked by my puppy.

Trasplanted second Strawberry Cough in bigger 10 gal pot which I regret later on cause watering is hard to dial in but she is recovering slowly. I will keep her in veg longer.

Put second Strawberry in spare Homebox tent with Mars Hydro 100 W lights to continue veg and flipping bigger Secret jardin tent with firstly planted Strawberry and C Vibez to 12-12 next week. Was a bit late on topping second Strawberry at 6th node so I also LST main branch to help her even out canopy.

Week 10 from seed - flipped to 12/12 at the end of week 9 and bought bigger light during week 10 Very busy in the tent this week as you can see.. Put to 12-12 and took clones from all plants. Second Strawberry stays in veg 2 more weeks. Also, I got new LED grow light for plants this week... Kinda a rushed decision but light seem really great after tinkering with it for 2-3 days. I am so eager to see bud growth under this one next few weeks. In the future I'll prolly get 4*4 for this light and fix this. Good for now, Vacum cleaner rod will do :D Secret Jardin DR150w dimensions: 150*90*200 cm, FC 4800 EVO is 83*82 cm and 2x FC3000 EVO would be 116*52 cm which would be perfect. I am to lazy to bother with exchanging/ returning this one and I never do stuff like that so I will just deal with it like it is and solve this issue later on. At least I'll have 1 more reason to get 3rd tent. LOL Currently closely monitoring Sunrise Sunset settings on Mars Hydro app is a bit tricky but seems everything is working as it should when set properly. Sunrise & Sunset working properly after some testing, there is even an option in the app so I can set custom brightness % at set times so I can play with that in the future. Currently not trying to introduce any bugs and too many variations trying to keep it simple just set it to auto Sunset & Sunrise at 12-12 timer and It is working like this: - 25% for 2 hours -75 % for 2 hours -100% for 3 hours -75% again for 2 hours -50% 2 hours -25% last hour before lights off Driver will stay inside for now warming the tent as it is making the temps inside in perfect range. The plan is to put SCROG for support ASAP when they are tall enough. Light is approx. 60 cm from canopy atm. I ran out of Magnifical and Velokelp this week so adjusted the dosages in the chart. I will probably keep using REMO, especially for my future DWC grows but it seems using REMO in soil has many drawbacks. I am currently researching Super soil recipes and amendments and I will try to go that route in the future in the soil.

My strawberry cough same like my previous strawberry cough has distinctive taste even in veg but also same defficiency. No mater how I increase nutes gradually she is constantly having leaves like this. Previous one was similar from last grow. Any takers on how to fix that?

Looks like magnesium. You can use epsom salts and water some in, or grind up egg shells into a powder and apply it, or buy some calmag from the grow shop and water in according to the directions. Maintaining your soil pH is critical to success. 6.2 pH is what you want. Calcium and Magnesium are very available to the plant at a 6.2 pH.

Seems Strawberry will stretch a bit and C-Vibez ) started producing budsites. Trying to lighty defoliate this week and focus on reducing nutrients cause ppm runoff is 1000. I realized this week as I am using RO water I need to supplement more calcium/ magnesium and as all plants were transplanted from BioBizz Lightmix to BioBizz Allmix they all have lot of nutrients in soil. I will just sprinkle a little bit of epsom salt , add low amount of calmag to water with very low amount of REMO nutrients, pH to 6.2 and that is it. Usually I used much lower REMO or BioBizz dosages based on my feeling but then my last diary ( 4 Dutch passion) I had very bad grow. Those 4 plants were transplanted to soil from previous grow ( BioBizz Lightmix + Allmix) to big pots as seedlings so it was hard to measure runoff and ppm of soil spec earlier in the veg. So for this grow my mindset was to follow the charts as much as possible so after 4 weeks of seedling phase in BioBizz Lightmix I transplanted into 18 L AllMix and also started feeding remo in lower dosage but proceeded to increase dosage to remo schedule dosage in a month of veg. I will try to water till runoff and measure to not make same stupid mistakes. Also soon I will be trying Dogma Organic SuperSoil and I will try to compare same genetics in soil with nutrients, dwc and supersoil. My understanding is that using straight RO water in living soil can be problematic so I will keep in mind that factor. My RO filter on the tap has mineralization it comes out 50 ppm. Clones will soon be ready for transplant, I am planning to keep only few alive as I will not have space for all of them, both tents will be available for flower of these clones in around 2 months so plan is to veg few of them in soil and two of them in my DWC setup until Flower tents are ready. HEIGHT Strawberry Cough (80 cm after SCROG) C-Vibez (55 cm after SCROG #2 Strawberry Cough (50 cm after SCROG) First watering 2. day of the week: C-Vibez 6 L 600 pm 6.2 ph RUNOFF: 6.5 ph 1000 ppm Strawberry Cough 5 L 470 ppm 6.4 ph RUNOFF: 6.6 ph 1000 ppm Strawberry Cough #2 in 40L pot is still heavy and I will just water around the plant a little with very light dose of nutrients and sprinkled little epsom salts Second watering 5. day of the week: C-Vibez 6 L 400 pm 6 ph RUNOFF: 6.5 ph 1000 ppm measured runoff only in this one Strawberry Cough 5 L 400 ppm 6.2 ph Strawberry Cough #2 mixed 7 L 330 ppm 6.5 ph that i will likely water till end of the week.

Monday 13.11.2023 Watered C-Vibez with 6 L of 550 ppm 6.3 pH runoff: 6.5 pH 950 ppm Strawberry cough with 6L of 440 ppm 6.2 pH runoff: 6.8 pH 850 ppm ( Astroflower only 0.5 ml/L, Bloom and Micro 1.2 ml/L Strawberry cough #2 with 5 L of 6.2 p 370 ppm no runoff Tuesday 14.11.2023 Defoliation on all three plants, much heavier on Strawberry Cough #2 which is stretching and will start flowering soon, and first one in big tent which will soon stop stretching and started forming flowers at start of the week. Strawberry Cough really smells special even in veg, today during defoliation I was amazed by sweet smells that both Strawberry Cough produce. Really amazing. Thursday 16.11.2023 Watered Strawberry Cough #2 with 5 L of 450 ppm 6.3 pH Transplanted clones, 2x C-Vibez in DWC and 8 clones (Strawberry and C-Vibez around half each) in soil. They are all put under Mars Hydro TS600 100W light and will be in a veg until flower tents are ready. I will do heavy training and mainline or something to waste as much time as possible cause they will get too big for my tents in around 2 months anyway. Friday 17.11.2023 Watered C-Vibez with 6 L of 670 ppm 6.2 pH runoff: 6.5 pH 950 ppm Strawberry cough with 6L of 550 ppm 6.2 pH runoff: 6.9 pH 850 ppm Notes: - pH still rising on Strawberry Cough #1 to alarming levels at 6.9-7 in the last runoff ( 6L watering- around 1 liter or bit less runoff) and it's completely my stupid mistake and laziness. -Last few waterings I didn't sprinkle Epsom salt on the soil before watering ( 7 pH RO 50 ppm water with added 1ml/L ATA Calmag, 2 mL/L, of both Bloom, Micro, and Nature's Candy, and 0.5 ml/L of Astro to bring it to 550 ppm and 5.7 pH) And HERE is the BIG mistake. As pH was 5.7 I wanted to bring it to 6.2 added a few drops of pH+ and measured at 6.2/6.3 pH But I didn't wait a day after mixing for any pH swings and it swung in soil I guess. Also, few waterings without runoff didn't help either. - Feeding for 2 big girls was 4 days and 8 hours after the last watering on Monday. Usually, I watered every 3 days but when I lifted the pots on thursday they were still not as light as usual so I left it one more day and then they needed to wait another 8 hours after the lights were on for me to finally water them so they got a bit droopy leaves but nothing major. At least I learned a lot this week and plants are still green and happy. Stretch completely stopped this week on the first Strawberry. The second one in the 2.5" * 2.5" tent is stretching currently and it is very hard to control her at the moment, I hope she starts flowering next week.

Two 6 L waterings for 2 girls in big tent and two 7 L waterings for early flower monster in smaller one. Runoff 6.8 1000 ppm, was lightly feeding in 300-500 as runoff is high and there is some nutrient burn on leaves tips.

Both plants in big tent are being watered with only water or using only bit of Nature's Candy. C-Vibez is almost dune trichs are dense and cloudy. Strawberry Cough has some newer white hair and maybe needs a bit more time. Planning to chop C-Vibez soon and move to smaller tent for drying while moving second Strawberry Cough in bigger tent for last few weeks of flower.
