Strawberry Gorilla Automatic (Lifetime Grow #4)

--08SEP2024-- Welcome to week 3 of Grow 4! We're really seeing some movement out of these ladies. I'm glad to get them started on their official feeding schedule now, as they all look like they could do with a bit of a nitrogen kick (though not as badly as it looks in the photos... thanks LEDs). They each got a gallon of RO this morning, supplemented with, per gallon, 4mL each of Sensi Grow A&B, B-52 and Voodoo Juice. This is half the recommended 8mL (but orders of magnitude less than what's printed on the box, of '8ML'. This is a bit tongue in cheek, of course... they do say Milliliters. But ML is Megaliters 😜) I will say the biggest note on the soil comparo so far is that the FF Ocean Forest drains _much_ more quickly than the Tilth Bloom, despite both being mixed with 25% perlite. Hopefully as the girls grow and get thirstier, this will be less apparent. For now, Astyn and Charlize got fed while still being quite moist, as I want to keep the available nutrients the same until I get some signs from them that I should do otherwise. Fingers crossed that this won't lean into overwatering, but hell, it had been days! And they're looking quite happy all in all, so onward and upward! Brigid looks like she's going to be healthy, if small, based on the look of her new growth. So while I feel badly about the hit she took, I'm glad she looks like she's still gonna rock on. Delphine, sweet Delpine... what a rock star she's being. ...hey, that was kinda musical. But she's seriously about half a node ahead of everyone else. I'll be watching height closely over the next few days, as I intend to try my hand at a ScrOG, this being my first homogenous grow, AND I've got that exciting sq.m. milestone in the bag. (....but now I've got 4 of the 5 photos that @Fast_Buds dropped for this year on order, and if I want to grow out a large batch to select my first momma from, I'm gonna need a bigger tent. Then this one can be the momma tent... right? Right??) Anyway, that's more than enough for a week-start post, I think. Keep on keepin on growmies! —10SEP2024– Well, the two girls in FF ocean forest (B. & D.) definitely have some burn on their oldest leaves after feeding. I flushed Brigid this morning with 10mL/gal of Sledgehammer, as her state is more precarious, and I’ll monitor her for signs of further stress and try to suss out what she needs next. Delphine seems to be weathering the burn well thus far, but keeping a close eye on her as well.
