9/19/24: Gals were sad and dry today(especially Ethel) so I went ahead and removed the old dead leaves from the bottom, followed the week 3 feeding chart, and fed them. Excited to see them tomorrow morning once they've had time to perk up and recover. 9/20/24: Looking much better after yesterday's feeding. The little starting buds are getting me excited for what's to come. 9/21/24: Man these ladies are stretching. Raised the lights just a bit out of precaution. 9/22/24: Bigger each day. I'll be doing some defoliating and probably adding the net within the next couple days, right before I feed again(if they can wait that long). 9/23/24: Gals are starting to get dry again, I'll be feeding tomorrow or the next day. Possibly defoliating and trellis also, I've read that around day 21 of flower is the best time to defoliate during this phase. 9/24/24: Went ahead and did a little lollipopping and some very light defoliation(didn't get too crazy with it as I didn't want to overstress the girls or screw anything up), moved one of the oscillating fans low to get some airflow down there, and finished it up with another feeding. 9/25/24: Another week down. Currently battling extremely high humidity so I went out and picked up a dehumidifier for the lung room. I'm hoping it's enough to drop things to where I need them before mold or any issues set in.

KingMickeystarted grow question 3 months ago
Just recently transplanted(1gal - 5gal), first-timer so it didn't go as smoothly as I planned or hoped. The girls look a little sad, which I hear is pretty normal this soon after transplanting, but is there anything I can do that can help the ladies make a full/quick recovery?

They are going to recover perfectly in just a few days. Give them some time to get used to their new environment and make new roots/drink the moisture from the fresh soil and they will peak up again!😊 I think they are looking very good for your first grow! 😊

The yellowing has gotten worse and I'm noticing slightly burnt tips/edges and some droop. Could this be burn/deficiency or over/underwatering? A combination? Is there anything I can do to fix this early or is it just a matter of giving them some time and less nutrients? Thanks!

Difficult to tell, but my guess would be a combination of nitrogen deficiency (the yellowing is quite uniform) and a little overwatering. Mg deficiency the leaf veins stay quite green and the rest of the leaf lightens.

I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?

They are looking happy and healthy. You can definitely top, just take off as little as you can on the top node. Sometimes you might need to wait a day or 2 for it to open up so you can cut just the tip off. That helps a lot for them to not take too much of a hit.

Flowering time is said to be 60-70 days, today is day 62. I've seen a lot on the trichomes and when to harvest but I don't quite have the eye for it yet as it's my first time. Would you guys say these are ready or should I go a few more days. Thanks in advance for any help!

High KingMickey, You still need about 1 or 2 weeks to go. The best way to tell that a plant is ready for harvest is with a pocket microscope (60x is perfect). The trichomes change color from uripe (clear as glass) to ripe (milky white) to expired (amber brown). When 80% from the trichomes are milky white it is the perfect time to harvest. But if you do not want to use a microscope then the pistils (brown hairs) are the second best indicator. When 80-90% from the pistils are brown it is time to harvest. You still need 1 to 2 weeks till the ideal time for harvest. The buds look great buddy! Enjoy the harvest! 💚

Do you think these gals will be ready for harvest in 2 days or will this be a huge mistake? 2 days from now will be my only day off for the rest of the month other than Thanksgiving day. Am I good to harvest or should I wait and have it possibly interfere with work/the holiday?

High KingMickey, They are ALMOST ready! If you want to harvest the weed at most potent you need to wait another week. But you can also harvest in 2 days. The difference when you harvest a bit early is that it gives a little more head high instead of body high. But there will not be a huge difference in just 1 week buddy. Happy Harvest! 💚

Those Strawberry strains can be a bit finicky from my experience. Fingers crossed it turns out great for you! It looks like you’ve done your homework and are well-prepared. Good luck!
