Strawberry Gorilla Automatic (Lifetime Grow #4)

—31AUG2024— -Watered all 4 of the ladies this evening. Leaf nodes are showing up rapidly, and Delphine is still racing to the head of the class. Ordered the Advanced nutrients starter set (still waiting on it), and I’m planning to follow their soil sensi schedules, grabbing the needed bits that aren’t in the kit in the next day or so. I've been using just the FF Kangaroots and Microbe Brew that I have on hand thus far, and the soils they're in are pretty hot so that's all they should need for another week or so. I've only used FF stuff in my few grows so far, and I have nothin' but love for 'em, but I figure it's silly to not try some of the other big names out there as well. --06SEP2024-- What a difference a week makes at this stage, eh? The girls are all looking quite good, excepting Brigid -who seems notably stunted after her root insult at transplant time- and the ever-overachieving Delphine, who continues to race ahead of the rest of the class. --07SEP2024-- AdvancedNutrients starter kit arrived today! Tomorrow the gals will get their first proper feeding per the schedule (though cut in half, as they're in pretty spicy soil, to see how they respond) to mark their entry into week 3! We're getting into exciting times! I have to say, I'm super impressed by this AN kit. Opening that box was just a great experience, from the "Not for tomatoes" which had me about rolling on the floor (yes, of course, I was a bit high), to the goodie box of stickers, pipettes and a trich magnifier that's an upgrade to my current one, to the good vibes note from Big Mike. Way to go folks @AdvancedNutrientsLtd ... keep doing the work of good! This kit brought more happiness to my evening than I had ever anticipated. Thanks to any who pop in to check out the grow, share some love, and above all, thanks to those who actually read my spectral ramblings! That's curtains for week 2!
