11/7/24: The start of a new week, possibly the last. Hindsight being 20/20, I probably started the flush a week early. Hopefully I don't suffer too much in the long term for it, but I've definitely learned a lot from this first grow.
11/8/24: Went ahead a tried to rotate the plants a bit but probably ended up doing more harm than good. Two things to remember next grow: use supports and quit fiddlin' with stuff.
11/9/24:Ladies feel pretty light so I'll probably be watering them tomorrow.
11/10/24: Went ahead and watered the gals today. Lucy is still struggling to stand, I'll definitely be using supports next time. Hopefully I don't mess anything up this before I get to chop.
11/11/24: Still pretty droopy but doing better today.
11/12/24: Gals are standing up a little better today. We're getting so close to harvest, time flew.
11/13/24: Well the ladies are almost there, another week down. It'll be harder to tell the perfect time though because I managed to drop and break my jeweler's loupe while checking today. I'll be turning to my growmies on this site for guidance on when to chop. Eternally grateful for all the help from you guys.

Grow Questions
KingMickeystarted grow question 4 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.
KingMickeystarted grow question 3 months ago
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.
KingMickeystarted grow question a month ago
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! 💚
KingMickeystarted grow question 14 days ago
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! 💚

Your doing everything spot on and for your first time aswel.
I might be wrong but your perlite is telling me too much water or not leaving medium to dry out almost between water/feed etc..
Good luck mate

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!

As a beginner, this site has been such an amazing resource. Being able to ask you guys questions, and get such great advice from all you more experienced folk has been extremely helpful. Most importantly, however, the community being so kind, supportive, knowledgeable, and helpful has not only made this whole learning experience a lot less intimidating and difficult, but also a lot more fun. HUGE thank you to everyone that takes the time to comment, answer, and help out!!!
