Royal Queen Seeds Strawberry Cough Indoor Daily Pictures
I only started feeding about 4 days after sprouting at a low concentration, the soil is still quite moist and doesn't seem to need a lot of water anyway. I'm starting in the final pot because I think I can handle it, and don't want to have to deal with the hassle of transplanting when it's just one plant anyway.
I'm planning on taking one picture every day and then making a small timelapse of the plant growing until the very end of the flowering cycle and the harvest. I'll try and keep the angle somewhat consistent but I'm not promising perfection, they are pictures from a phone, afterall.
This is the same pictures as the germination week since I'm making this at the same time. I had already put a bunch of info in there which should have been here, but anyway. I'm vegging under 24 hours of light right now, though I might switch to 18/6 or 20/4 later. Right now it seems to be good for the seedling though, it's growing really well so far. I've only fed once since i'm using part compost soil. I will not feed again until probably next week, if I need to water, it'll be plain water.
I do plan on getting a trellis net and topping the plant once. We'll see how that plays out over the course of this very diary, where I will try my best to take one picture every single day and make a timelapse at the very end, after harvesting.
The plant is growing well. I have switched to 18/6 light schedule, and continue to water and feed when the soil gets dry. The plant has a fairly small root system still, so it doesn't need a lot of water. I just water whenever the top 2-3cm of soil get dry. Rubbing the leaves does leave a fruity smell on my fingers.
Ok, this week is getting more exciting. I topped the plant today, as it seemed to me to be strong enough to take it. It started getting way bushier than I expected, so I switched the light to the veg spectrum for a day to give it more red light in hopes of making it stretch a bit so it would be less compact and more easily topped, which seems to have worked, a little. I also removed some of the very lowest leaves, as they were a bit too close to the soil. I forgot to take a picture on the 6th unfortunately, but I compensated by taking 2 today, before and after topping. I also moved the light higher to hopefully give it a little stretch so it can gain enough hight for it to go into the trellis.
The plant is also starting to smell a bit more fruity, nothing crazy like during flower, i can still open the tent with no smell in the room at all, but i can tell it's gonna smell really nice when it goes into flower.
