Pink is rare

Week 1 done and they are all up! First leaves were damaged a bit from them touching the humidity domes sides, then water collecting on the leaves and producing a lens effect that burned the leaves. I think it is going to be fine, the domes are now off and they are producing true leaves now. Soon the evidence can be hidden :) No water for them yet since the medium is still moist.

Hello hello! So last week we saw one of the seedlings struggle and she ended up not pulling through. I managed at some point to bend her stalk, and she could not recover. It is gonna take some time to forget this but meanwhile to fill the tent we added 1 guava auto from FB. The other 2 strawberries are vigorous and shrugged of topping like champs. They were topped on D14. Also gave them a light feed @6.1 pH. See you next week with more pictures!

Hello hello! Last week these strawberries were transplanted to 18 liter pots. Moisturing the new medium beforehand and then watering with a heavier feed led to these ladies not really getting bothered by the transplanting. Keeping them tied down with LST to spread out the the new main branches. There is a gorilla glue girl and a guava lady that have 4 to 5 weeks left. We will have to abandon the box fan soon for more room.

Hello hello! This week has been readjusting the LST stakes, lollipopping (removed the minor nodes). I left a couple that were looking extra fast. Only 1 watering for them this week after the HST. These girls are not yet drinking much. No signs of maturing yet so we will see how long we can push the veg. Would love to give more light to these 2, but currently it is more important to give the most light to the 2 flowering plants. They are getting atleast 500 PPFD so I am not too worried.

Hello hello! Welcome back everyone. All is going well in the garden! We still have room and the box fan can stay. These pots would take forever to dry without it. Just 1 watering this week for them again. I added rhino skin for this feed and will keep giving it until flower. I am hoping to spread out the canopy a bit more and tie them down to the edges of the fabric pots. We will see though, they are just about to start the flower stretch. The light has been running 24/7 and the plants really seem to thrive. I dont know what my CO2 ppm is but these girls are getting a bunch of light and growing fast. They are getting a 3 to 6 hour dark period a couple of times a week anyway to rest even a bit.

Hello hello! Welcome back! Lots happening in garden. This week the other strawberry girl experienced some issues. She had and is now recovering from some excess nitrogen. She has noticeably darker leaves and some of the leaves are drooping at the tips. I suspect she is 4 to 5 days behind her sister, and so she really did not like the preflower heavier feed i gave for both strawberries. Lets see how she recovers. The foliage is already looking better after i flushed her yesterday with just TA flashclean @6.1pH 2ml / L. The other lady seemed to enjoy the heavier feed, and is now boosting through the flower stretch and looking very healthy. The other flowering plants have a week or so, and that couldn't come soon enough. We are running out of room fast. I included some extra picks of both flowering plants (guava and gorilla glue).

Hello hello! Welcome back everyone. A sad turn of events: The second last strawberry had to be put down. She did not recover from the N toxicity. That combined with me accidentally topping her again caused too much stress. We are down to 1 strawberry girl sadly. Her details for the last week: Medium defoliation. Lots of flowering nodes popping up everywhere and they need light. Some leaf tips experiencing some burning. I suspect this is potassium deficiency from the 5.8pH pure water feed i gave her earlier this week. I added now a PK booster for the first week and half. Next to her is a guava lady in 9L of coco perlite mix, just now beginning to start flowering. On the positive side, learning a lot from running different genetics. I absolutely loved the gorilla and she is gonna be back in the tent for sure. The strawberries are definitely showing signs of having a bit of a lower resistance, but i am super excited about the last one! She still has some stretching to do, and is gearing up for a good yield! Hopefully also the pink pheno!

Hello hello! Welcome back everyone. 2 flowering plants in the garden! We will follow and update this last strawberry more closely, as she deserves. Guava lady next to her will surely cause this tent to smell absolutely fruity sweet very soon. She is stretching now while the strawberry is blooming vigorously. Last weeks PK booster stopped the potassium deficiency from taking any bad effect in the strawberry plant. Next watering after that was the schedule posted on this week, and a third watering this week today was just 6.0pH water and 0.5ml / L of bloom. The heavier feed in the middle of the week was basically dry after a couple of days. This lady was really thirsty after a little HST (supercropping tallest branches to level). She is now stacking the budsites with more and more white hairs every day. Lights running 24/7 still.

Hello hello! Welcome back everyone! Lots of bulking happening since last week! Happy about how these buds are coming along. The structure is very dense, and these buds will be absolutely glued together. Making a mental note to keep on track with tightening the lst stakes to avoid bud rot. She still has 4 to 5 weeks left. Lets again hope for pink phenotype :) Guava is flowering FAST. Looking at the difference from last week is insane. She has 9 liters of coco perlite mix and is gearing up for huge yield from this size of a pot. Hopefully they will be ready at the same time so we can dry in the dark. Ztrawberry is watered every 3 days or so with 8 liters @6.2pH. Guava is drinking 5 liters every other day. Starting from now on, they will both get pretty much the same ratios of nutrients. Learning to appreciate not topping these autos. Guava is thriving with it and, the canopy seems to still be easily managed + the top cola is not elevated from the rest of the canopy with using proper LST 👍😍

Hello hello! Welcome back everyone! We are at nearing the end for this run. The ztrawberry lady has some way to go, and i expect a lot of change happening in the last remaining 2 weeks or so. She is now taking only FinalPart @6.4 pH for about 8 litres every 2 days. Guava is just on rocket fuel and it might be just 2 to 3 weeks left for her. Incredible what she became so far from a seedling that was almost tossed. Changed the light schedule to 20/4 and also did a 48h FlashClean before watering the strawberry with FP 2 days ago.

Hello hello! Welcome back everyone! It is about the last week for the strawberry. I will be checking and posting her trichomes soon. She is starting to look ready, but some of the lower buds still have white hairs and a little ripening to do. Watered today with FP for the last time, and next watering will be with flashclean and then flushing until she is just perfect. The smell coming of her is out of this world. Its ripe strawberries with a pungent, like a sweet fruit liquor hint. Just absolutely fills your head. Really looking forward to trying her out, she hands down has the STRONGEST and SWEETEST terps I have ever gotten from an autoflower. Maybe the flush will bring out the pink. Yes 😎

Harvested on D84 with 15-20 amber and the rest cloudy trichomes. Absolutely caked buds with an incredible smell. The buds seem super dense and the colors are captivating. A terrible itch to get to try her out. If the smell and the amount of snow on these buds is anything to go by, oh my... She was flushed for 5 days. Will dry the whole plant since the tent is only at 40 to 50RH. Will update as usual.
