Hello and welcome
Strawberry cola from Exotic seeds. Dutch seedbank with interesting strains to choose from.
After 24 hours she cracked the shell. I kept her another 16 h in water and then she got planted.
Peace
Autoflowering hybrid predominantly indica, Strawberry Cola Auto is a cross between genetics like our famous Mango strain, the Mango Cream, our Strawberry Banana strain and our Monster Mash, which result in a strain having a robust structure, that is easy to grow and where almost all plants reach 100 cm. Strawberry Cola Auto produces about 500 gr per square meter in good conditions, with very dense and resinous buds, which makes it a very interesting strain for extractions.
Its aroma is what we like the most, with a marked tone of red fruits and cola, which in some cases can be more floral. As for its effects, Strawberry Cola Auto has a powerful effect to be an autoflowering genetic, being very relaxing and introspective.
Strawberry cola by Exotic seeds went into the ground.
Final pot filled with 15 liters of light mix, micromix, and mycorrhiza.
Daily temperature I'd like to achieve is 28°C, and 80% of humidity.
After planting lady received 200ml of water mixed with Soil Clean by Woma
To prevent fungus gnats, and condition soil.
Plan is to let it grow without bigger training, I'd like to keep one main cola.
But who knows what will come.
I am using Trolmaster, to monitor climate, data will be shared in the end of each week.
Day 5 update
After some perturbations, and one seedling lost (apparently I watered plants with isopropyl alcohol while on shrooms) new baby is doing well :D
Leaves are indicating she likes environment, happy to see that
Today I watered her with first portion of nutrients (300ml solution)
Humidity and temperature you can see in screenshots from Trolmaster app.
Peace
Hello and welcome in week 2
After few runs with Living soil, i missed interaction with a plant.
Decided to go back to some mineral additives.
I will use Aptus line throughout whole grow.
For now this lady reacts well, and there are no signs of overfeeding, but i keep my EC in similar range as my soil mix is.
Temperature ranges from 24-28'C, and humidity stays about 80%.
You can see reading from Trolmaster app in photos.
Peace, gentle people!
Hello and welcome in week 3
Lady grows nice and healthy.
She is responding well for environment and feeding schedule.
Little side branches starts to shoot from main stem, but I'll wait with LST a little longer to not stress her in first 3 weeks of life.
Temperatures are 23-28'C night vs day, and stable 80% rH
Screnshot from Trolmaster app, you can check in pictures.
I've made small CO2 generator out of sugar, yeast, and water, filtered through another bottle with water.
It is just a little supplement, but with ventilation turned off, can boost growth a bit.
You can check it in a video.
Just like CO2 bags, just cheaper :P
Peace, gentle people!
Hello and welcome in week 4.
I am really pleased about my girl, and the way she grows.
Bushy, green, healthy, lushy plant.
She seems to like environment, and nutrients.
I keep stable humidity above 70%, with temperatures around 27'C, which equals VPD around 1.
Day 23 She defined her sex with few pistils shooting from main stem, but definitely is still in her fastest growth stage.
Most bushy plant out of recent grow session.
Day 25 I checked soil pH which went out 6.3
Day 27 another watering, lady is drinking already over 1l. Increased lamp power to 100%, 85cm above top.
Leaves tips in perfect condition no burnt tips on oldest and newest leaves, she's charming, and super healthy :D
On last picture you can see my watering device, Made it out of battery, 1.5m hose, and water pump. It provides stable 3l/1minute. Makes my waterings much easier now,
Peace! gentle people.
Hello and welcome in week 5
Lady is growing nicely, and shows no problems at all.
Went down with temperatures, and humidity to 26-27'C, and humidity in 70's %.
I keep taming the branches with a wire to spread her a bit, but nothing drastical, she kept her original shape in general.
Light is about 85% of 300w power, and 75cm above highest point of plant.
She's doing great for now.
Peace gentle people!
Hello and welcome in week 6
Still no complaints with this girls. No deficiencies, or excesses. Little tip burn from light, but she already adjusted.
100% of power 300w on 1m2, together with 4 other girls.
Vpd is about 1.2
EC 1.2
Ph of water 6.0
Ph of soil 6.4
On day 36 I removed the lower leaves to keep good airflow. Fancy called lolloping.
Peace gentle people
Hello and welcome in another week of life this Strawberry cola by Exotic seed.
Lady started to catch some frost, which is a nice sign, and gives a promise of tasty flowers :D
She still shows no sign of stress, except little tip burn from two weeks ago, but I went a bit lighter with base nutrient, and no further problems appear.
She is still lushy green, I will cut N to let her fade later...
Environment wise I went down with temperature and humidity to 25' C in the day and 19' C in the night, with stable 60 % rH.
Data provided by Trolmaster, much love.
Soon I will start supplement more K in mix, as she supposed to finish below 60 days.
See you soon!
Hello and welcome.
Another week, and I can surely say this girl will finish around day 60. This is quick, for such nice bud structure.
Flowers are not the biggest, but with decent amount of trichomes on flower and.sugar leaves.
She smells very sweet at this point. Definitely will be a delight. It hits my private preferences.
Very easy to grow so far, didn't show deficiencies, or excess, at any kind. Ate nicely all the goodies by Aptus I gave her.
Environment wise, temperature during the day 26, in the night 18.
Humidity around 60%.
Peace
Hello and welcome.
We are getting close to the end. Buds are ripening, sweet tropical flavour is strong and loud. Love this kind of terpens.
She created beautiful contrast full tops, covered in frost.
I am very happy the way she grew.
Zero problems start to finish.
Soon will be chopped down.
Express and maintenance free plant.
Peace!
In her last week, I let her fade completely.
She received only pH'd water.
Temperatures in the night till 17°C.
I guess about 8-9 days and she will be dry.
Peace!
