Sugar Bomb Punch & Strawberry Cookies

BOTAN1ST Pictures after 1st week of vegetation. The deformed Sugar Bomb Punch seedlings recovered and are grownling strong. Repotted into Compo Sana Qualitätsblumenerde. Many people noticed slow growth of the plants in NeudoHum Aussaat- & KräuterErde. It's probably due to a lack of nitrogen in the soil. Last Watering after repotting the seedlings into new containers - 17.05.2024

BOTAN1ST 19.05.2024 - Light increased to 30% - 60W - 300PPFD - ~18DLI 20.05.2024 - Light increased to 35% - 70W - 350PPFD - ~20DLI 23.05.2024 - Light increased to 40% - 80W - 400PPFD - ~22DLI 23.05.2024: One of the Strawberry Cookie plants are bright green/light yellow and struggles to grow. Checked the soil and the roots and repotted the plant into new soil mix. The plant didn't develop any new roots since the last repotting. Weird.

BOTAN1ST Vegetation week 3 Let them grow. Nothing changed. The struggling Strawberry Cookie recovers and the leafes becoming greener. 28.05.2024 - Light increased to 42% - around 82W ~ 425PPFD ~23DLI

BOTAN1ST First two days are still in veg phase. 01.06.2024 - Decided to start flowering phase 1 day after repotting, to see how the plants will behave. Starting flowering after 3 weeks due to the short height of the grow box. The height of the box is about 1,6m. Mind the stretch. We could probably go for a 4th week of vegetation, but better be safe than sorry 👍 02.06.2024 - Repotted all plants into 5,7L container - they look a little bit unhappy - No fertilizer used yet. Just fresh soil 😇 02.06.2024 - Light increased to 50% - around 100W ~29DLI 03.06.2024 - Plants recovered pretty well and are now praying back again 03.06.2024 - Light increased to 65% - around 130W ~600-650 PPFD ~31DLI 04.06.2024 - Light increased to 70% - around 140W ~650-700 PPFD ~33DLI 05.06.2024 - Light increased to 80% - around 160W ~800 PPFD ~35-36DLI

BOTAN1ST 2nd week of flowering started. First female calyx sprouted. They're growing fast n str0ng 09.06.2024 - Light increased to 85% - around 170W ~850 PPFD ~36-38 DLI 10.06.2024 - Plants are stretching noticeably 14.06.2024 - Today we watered the plants. Every plant has got around 2L of water with pH 7,2, ec 440 µS/cm and 0,5ml/L epsomite. No fertilizing, since there are signs of too much fertilizer in the soil already. Just added a little bit of extra magnesium through epsomite. pH was adjusted with vinegar from around 8 to 7,2. Soil will buffer the pH anyway 👍

BOTAN1ST Week 3 of flowing has started. The plants are still stretching a lot. The last two days they jumped 4-5cm per day. We removed a few lower leaves, but we're still thinking about lolli popping in a week. We'll see... We also found a few male flowers on both of the Strawberry Cookies; removed them. Just 2 on every plant. 17.06.2024 - Found 2 new male flowers on one of the Strawberry Cookies 😕 20.06.2024 - Due to the hight of the plants they'll soon reach the LED. We reduced the light intensity to 70%, to prevent lightburn. Defolitated the plants. Removed most of the lower leaves and all small side branches.

BOTAN1ST Week 4 of flowering started. Plants are coming to the end of their stretch. They trippled in height. The biggest daily change was around 9-10cm - over night. 23.06.2024 - Today we watered the plants. The pot dry weight was around 2,7kg. After watering the pot weighted around 5kg. We also did a mild feeding of ~780µS/cm. Fertilizer was mixed for 10L of nutrient solution: 1g Hakaphos Red 8+12+24(+4) 1,5g Hakaphos Soft Spezial 16+8+22(+3) 1g YaraTera Calcinit The tallest plant was pretty close to the LEDs, so we bend her a bit. 25.06.2024 - Moved the carbon filter and the fan on top of the grow tent, so we could position the lamp higher. Light increased back to 80% 28.06.2024 - Found a few more male flowers and removed them 😤

BOTAN1ST Start of flowering week 5. Stretch seems to come finally to an end... 01.07.2024 - Watered the plants with a mild feeding of ec 0,9

BOTAN1ST Flowering week 6. Buds starting to get a little bit bigger and resin production started :) 08.07.2024 - watering and mild feeding. 0,8 mS/cm. Also added a few chicken manure pellets, around 5g per pot. Looks like the stretch has finally came to an end.

BOTAN1ST Week 7 of flowering 13.07.2024 - Removed a few leaves, that were laying on top of each other - to reduce potential wet spots 16.07.2024 - Watered the plant with a mild feeding of EC 0,8 mS/cm - afterwards im thinking that this might not have been needed, we'll see how the plants react. We lowered the light intensity to 60%, because of the height of the plant. The distance between plants and light source is too close for higher Watts. The PPFD at the center of the tent is around 750-800, which is pretty good. The highest plants have a PPFD way above 1000 . A few leaves started to curl, because of that intense light. 18.07.2024 - We found 2 male flowers on one of the Sugar Bomb Punch 😑

BOTAN1ST Flowering week 8: 20.07.2024 Repositioned a few of the fans, 23.07.2024 Watered the plants with around 500ml per plant. No fertilizer or CalMag. 23.07.2024 Bad news: one of the Strawberry Cookies has bud rot. The weather the last weeks was really bad and we had a high humidty temporarily. Unlucky... 😕 24.07.2024 Another main cola has bud rod and was removed. Checked all the other plants, they looked good so far 😐 26.07.2024 Watered the plants with around 500ml per plant. No fertilizer or CalMag.
