I am posting this enter grow after the fact. Grow was from June 15, 2024 - 11-10-2024 Harvest
24 hours wet paper towel then into a peat plug and an AC Infinity Germinator box for about a week. No picture of this part.
Pictures show 4 plants but only 1 is Strawberry Lemonade. It is the tallest plant in all pictures. Other strains in the tent were White Widow, Rude Girl, and Ice Cream Cake. Veg period was June 21 - August 24, 2024.
Used Happy Frog from germination and into the Quart planters. Once transplanted into the 7 gallon fabric pots, I used a mix of Ocean Forest and Happy Frog. Mostly OF maybe 80/20. No nutrients at this point.
Plant closest and greenest is the Strawberry Lemonade. This was when I started running into PH issues and you can tell from the yellow leaves. The root balls had very low soil PH. I ended up replanting them in the same pots and knocking the bottom 4-5 inches off and planting in fresh dirt. Used Happy Frog from germination and into the Quart planters.

Flipped to flower cycle August 24th 12/12. This is also when I started working on a platform drain to waste system. Early stage. Drip rings are Netafin 10" Netbows and using a Rainpoint wifi pump.
LiveAqua 3x3 Drain table in place now. I got a little sump pump and that pumps the runoff to a 5 Gal bucket outside the tent. Video shows the complete setup. I stopped using the air stones after a week or so. Didn't really need them with the circ pump and the slime that builds up was getting nasty.
Things are starting to bulk up. PH issues under control. SL didn't have a lot of issues with being too close to the light, but the other plants did. SL stretched a lot more than I expected and it is Sativa dominant.
Ok final tally was 5 ounces for Strawberry Lemonade. I could have left her growing another week but I was going away for a week in 2 weeks and needed a full 2 weeks to dry, so I went ahead and chopped all plants 11-10-2024. I used the same tent for drying and used a whole plant slow drying process where I kept the humidity at 60% for 2 weeks balancing the humidifier and dehumidifier. They work paid off and it turned out fantastic. So good I decided to enter it into the local contest and it came in 3rd place out of 23 entries. (Rude Girl came in 4th!). I plan on growing another batch this next grow, I like it so much. This plant stretches a lot and needs some LST/HST for a tent, but I highly recommend. It had no issues with being close to the lights and once I got the PH under control she really took off.
