GanjaGecko Welcome to the next run.
For this grow, a big thank you goes to Mia BioTabs and of course to BioTabs, who are nice enough to sponsor the nutrients for the entire grow.
Here we are growing Strawberry Guava BX from Bloom Seed Co.
A glass of water was prepared with 2 drops of Seedbooster and a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. The seed soaked in it for about 15 hours before going into the seedling pot. The substrate was watered with BioEnhancer to a pH of 5.8. A small dome was placed on the seedling pot to create the optimal conditions needed for germination.
When the very young Strawberry Guava BX saw the light, the small plastic dome was removed from the seedling pot, and it could take its first breaths of air.
...and the journey can begin.
Backup seeds were 2x Fruity Pebbles from Gas Station and one seed from the first S1 cross of OceanTruffle. These also all germinated.💚
In this grow, the "just add water" method will be presented. Here, the substrate is initially prepared with tabs, Startrex, and Silicium Flash. Before switching to the flowering cycle, there will be another top feeding with Silicium Flash. Additionally, in week 2/3 of flowering, a compost tea will be given. The rest will be taken care of by the microorganisms and the slow-release fertilizers in the substrate.
Startrex is an organic soil enhancer and bio-fertilizer in one. (N-P-K 3:1:2). Startrex contains silicon (Si), humus, and fulvic acid. It also enriches the substrate with beneficial bacteria.
Silicium Flash is 100% organic and provides the plants with quickly available amounts of silicon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Silicium Flash strengthens the plants' resistance, for example, against heat, drought, pests, and pathogens. The nutrient uptake of the plants is noticeably increased, leading to overall stronger plants and higher yields. BioTabs Silicium Flash is immediately available to the plants and is absorbed extremely quickly. The remaining nutrients are then slowly released to the plants over the course of 2 months.
For the 12L substrate, 60g (5g/L) of Startrex was completely mixed with the substrate. From the 62g of Silicium Flash, 40g were mixed into the lower half of the substrate, and the last 22g were added to the surface of the substrate. In each planting hole, 5g of Mycotrex were distributed. Mycotrex is a mix of nine types of mycorrhiza spores, beneficial rhizobacteria, seaweed meal, and humic acid. This allows the plants to better absorb water and minerals, significantly maximizing their growth.
For the 12L fabric pots, 2 tabs are placed at mid-height in the mixed substrate. The 2 tabs are sufficient as the main fertilizer for the entire cycle of the plant.
Watering was done with Bactrex and Orgatrex.
Bactrex is an organic soil fertility enhancer with beneficial soil and root microbes. It contains fungi of the Trichoderma genus, various Bacillus bacteria, and the included root bacteria improve soil structure and increase plant fertility.
Trichoderma fungi combat diseases caused by other harmful fungi. Bacillus bacteria help the plant regulate diseases naturally and make valuable nitrogen and phosphorus available to the plants.
Orgatrex is a 100% organic booster for growth and flowering. The base of Orgatrex is made from alfalfa plant meal, and it is also packed with trace elements and sugars from various molasses, potassium vinasse, silicon oxide, and broken minerals. Orgatrex is thus a bio-booster for robust and healthy growth.

GanjaGecko Week 1 // D1-D7
After a week in the seedling pot, Strawberry Lobster was transferred to its final pot. On day 7, it was repotted. The two ladies moved into a 12L fabric pot. The Strawberry Lobster has made itself comfortable in the 60×60×160 cm DiamondBox under the Sanlight Q3W gen.2 with a maximum output of 120W.
The Sanlight Q3W was dimmed to 50%=60W on day 7 for repotting. This gives the ladies about 400ppfd. The distance from the LED to the ladies is 40cm. This setting will remain until the switch to 12/12.
In this grow, the "just add water" method is being introduced. Here, the substrate (a light mix in this case) is initially prepared with the tabs, Startrex, and Silicium Flash. Before switching to the flowering cycle, there will be another top feeding with Silicium Flash. Additionally, in weeks 2/3 of flowering, a compost tea will be given. The rest will be taken care of by the microorganisms and the slow-release fertilizers in the substrate. Startrex is an organic soil enhancer and bio-fertilizer in one. (N-P-K 3:1:2). Startrex contains silicon (Si), humus, and fulvic acid. It also enriches the substrate with beneficial bacteria. Silicium Flash is 100% organic and provides the plants with quickly available amounts of silicon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Silicium Flash strengthens the plants' resistance, for example, against heat, drought, pests, and pathogens. The nutrient uptake of the plants is noticeably increased, leading to overall stronger plants and higher yields. BioTabs Silicium Flash is immediately available to the plants and is absorbed extremely quickly. The remaining nutrients are then slowly released to the plants over the course of 2 months.
For the 12L substrate, 60g (5g/L) of Startrex was completely mixed with the substrate. Of the 62g of Silicium Flash, 40g were mixed into the lower half of the substrate, and the last 22g were mixed into the surface of the substrate.

In week 2 of vegetation, there wasn't much to do. The "just add water" method from Biotabs is starting to be fun. It minimizes the time spent watering even more. The still very young Strawberry Guava BX is handling the mixed substrate fabulously and is developing splendidly.

The Strawberry Guava is developing wonderfully. You can tell it's eager to grow tall. The topping was done on Day 20. So far, the main and side shoots are still quite delicate. Hopefully, this will balance out a bit when the side shoots get going with the topping. Due to the strong upward growth, all side shoots will receive a topping next week to help control the growth a bit. The main shoot has been bent with bud clips to counteract the height growth as early as possible.
The Bio Tabs method is really unusually relaxing☺️ every time you want to water the plants, you realize it only needs water, and you can get started right away. This saves an incredible amount of time every time. I'm already really liking this. The leaf color and overall condition of the plant look so incredibly good!
The environmental conditions are currently hell or at least not far from it. I waited a bit too long with the climate devices🤣 now there are only the loud ones that consume an outrageous amount of electricity. So, I guess I’ll have to tough it out this summer😆 The VPD is still quite pleasant to maintain. And now in the early growth phase, the temperatures aren't too concerning.

The Strawberry Guava BX is currently the most delicate of all, but it's growing wonderfully. Here and there, the leaves look a bit odd, but overall it seems healthy and has good growth. By the end of the week, it made another little jump in height. We're already working a bit more aggressively with LST because this lady is stretching a bit above average already. There will also be a slow transition into flowering when the time comes, to keep the stretch as minimal as possible.

GanjaGecko WEEK 5 // D29-D35
At the beginning of this week, for the first time since transplanting, I watered with 10ml/L Orgatrex and 1g/L Bactrex as additives to give the soil life a little boost.
The Strawberry Guava BX was only topped on the longest shoots. Otherwise, only LST is being used. The side branches are developing quite well now. I think next week with the scrog net, a nice canopy will form. Midweek, the lower shoot was taken as a cutting. The growth of this pheno so far is not what you look for when working with the genetics in the form of crosses. If this pheno surprisingly has good stacking in flowering (which I don’t think will happen with the long internodes during growth), along with strong strawberry terps and ideally above-average yield, those would be reasons to grow this pheno as a cutting again and possibly take pollen from it.

GanjaGecko WEEK 6 // D36-D42
At the beginning of this week, the first layer of the Scrog net was installed. This serves as a little help to promote and shape the desired canopy. Some of the shoots that are too eager are placed back under the Scrog net. For the shoots that were particularly eager, I used bud clips, while for the other shoots, twisting them and placing them under the net was sufficient. The second layer of the Scrog net will come into the tent around week 2 of flowering to support and evenly distribute the shoots.
This week, flowering was also slowly initiated. The light was reduced daily by 1 hour, and the light intensity was slightly increased for each hour reduced. If you only decrease the exposure time but do not increase the intensity, the DLI drops. This signals to the plant anything but that it will soon enter flowering. The slow transition into flowering of one hour less light each day is meant to ensure that the plant does not stretch unnecessarily and that the nodes are closer together. This only happens if you slightly increase the light intensity for each hour less. If you don't do this, the DLI drops, and the plant suddenly suffers from a lack of light and may compensate by stretching a bit more to get closer to the light.

GanjaGecko WEEK 7/1F // D43/1F - D49/7F
The Strawberry Guava BX turned out to be a little surprise. The side branches seem to have received the order to hurry up 😄 and now there's a nice canopy with some shoots. You can pick the best and sturdiest shoots for lollipopping and the big defoliation. The growth of the main branches was repeatedly slowed down with some banding/twisting as the stretch started, so a bit of cropping was trained to let the side branches catch up. This way, you quickly had a somewhat decent canopy to work with.
In the first week of flowering, the SanlightQ3W was running at 80% = 96W. This gave the Strawberry Guava BX around 550 ppfd. Only now in week 2 is the SanlightQ3W set to 100% = 120W. To ensure the Strawberry Guava BX gets enough light despite the "only" 120W from the SanlightQ3W, which offers around 800-850 ppfd for a proper bloom, the distance of the LED is reduced from 40 to 35cm.
Here’s a word about BioTabs and the "only water" method: it's so relaxed!!!
Up to this point, the substrate was prepared at the beginning of the grow, then the substrate was watered with 10ml/L Orgatrex and 2g/L Bactrex. Then there was only water until week 5. In week 5, it was watered once with 10ml/L Orgatrex and 1g/L Bactrex.
Only now in week 1 of flowering was 25g Silicium Flash added as a topdress. For this, a small hole is made in the substrate near the stem where the Silicium Flash is sprinkled and then covered with soil and watered with 2g/L Bactrex.

GanjaGecko Week 8/2F // D50/8F - D56/14F
This week the second layer was installed. This was especially needed for the Strawberry Guava. The shoots are really very delicate and need support. The Guava BX also wanted to stretch a bit more. Therefore, the longest shoots were worked on one last time with bud clips to help create an even canopy. The flowering is slightly behind the Lobster, so I think that's where the extra few cm of stretch came from. The Guava is recovering quite quickly from the training itself.
On Day 53/11F, the Sanlight Q3W was set to 100%. On Day 53/11F, the Sanlight Q3W was set to 100%. To provide the Strawberry Guava BX with around 800-850 ppfd for proper flowering despite the "only" 120W of the Sanlight Q3W, the distance of the LED was reduced from 40 to 35 cm.
This week, the sleep and wake-up light was also turned on. A Far Red light strip in the 730-745nm range - the Spider Farmer SUPP-IR 16. This turns on 13 minutes before the Sanlight comes on and goes off 2 minutes after the main lighting starts, simulating sunrise. Then the Far Red turns on again as a little sleep aid for 15 minutes before the Sanlight goes off and continues for 15 minutes after the Sanlight goes off, simulating sunset. The lighting with Far Red LEDs accelerates the metabolic shift after the light goes out. This allows the ladies to recover better at night and start the new day refreshed. Plants have an absorption spectrum that sees Far Red light as an indicator of the onset of darkness. We can take advantage of this fact with artificial lighting. The so-called phytochromes are responsible for the absorption of Far Red light waves. These are a type of photoreceptor proteins that influence a variety of plant growth processes. Phytochromes control processes such as germination, flowering, and photoperiodism, which is the regulation of the day-night rhythm. Essentially, there are two types or conformations of phytochromes in plants: The Pr-form (r=red) has its absorption maximum at around 660 nm, and the Pfr-form (fr=far red) at about 730 nm. What do phytochromes have to do with plant lights? Quite simply: By using the Far Red spectrum, relevant processes such as photoperiodism can be specifically influenced to optimize nighttime recovery and thus photosynthesis, leading to better yield results. If the low-energy Far Red radiation is kept on in the evening for about 10 to 15 minutes longer than the regular light, it acts as a "sleep initiator." Plants switch to their natural sleep mode faster this way and can use the extra time for recovery. (Source: https://www.pro-emit.de/ratgeber/schlafinitiierung-per-far-red/)

@Stony_German, it's really crazy. The Guava is the most delicate of all and also has the most sativa-like leaves. I hope it brings some good terps. I definitely wanted to take pollen from that lady.

@GanjaGecko, The terps are amazing and were the loudest in that grow. I don't think you'll regret it. No wonder so many are using Str.Guava for crossing. Just have to keep an eye on the stretch.

@Stony_German, yeah, she's already showing that she wants to grow tall. I'm going to top her properly 😄💪🏽

I had my eye on this genetic too, so it's awesome that you're doing a run! Good luck, I'm really curious 🔥

@JackOfAllTrades, the first leaves are still a bit deformed. I hope it's just the first couple of leaves and not a mutation that will carry on. On Sunday, it will be decided whether to transplant Strawberry Guava BX or Fruity Pebbles. But I’m also really excited to try out the strain.

@GanjaGecko, it's definitely going to grow together :D I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some really awesome Guava and Strawberry terps!

@JackOfAllTrades, I'm hoping for some seriously intense strawberry terps😄 I think the leaves just look a bit weird. She's the furthest along of all of them💪🏽 In the next update this Sunday, she should look a bit healthier.

Definitely a diva. At least the flexible branches can be bent easily. I'm looking forward to hearing what you will say about the Guava terps.

@Stony_German, yeah bending is also the only advantage 😄. I hope the branches become a bit more stable with the flowers. But yeah, I hope the terps are worth the stress 😊. I'm just a little worried about the yield with the delicate branches. We'll see. Both will definitely be pollinated with OceanTruffle 😄💪🏽.

@GanjaGecko, The yield was in no way less than with the other 3 sisters. Very dense buds, and the thin branches needed support but had the same bud size as the Red Hot Violet, which had branches twice as thick. And yes, the terps are insane. Despite fresh harvests, I still reach into the Strawberry Guava bags every few days.😉

@Stony_German, okay that’s very reassuring. She should also ideally get an extra round as a clone. I’d love to take pollen from her too 😄

@Momentum, ☺️ thank you. I'm also very glad to have gotten this strain. After a shipment of seeds from BloomSeeds got lost at FedEx in France around March, I'm happy that the second seed has now germinated 😄 at first, the leaves looked quite strange, but I don't think it's a mutation; they just look a bit different. Otherwise, she gives a top fit impression and is also the furthest along of all 💪🏼

@GanjaGecko, I saw it as a cutting in a shop, it should definitely be a terp adventure for you.

Aaah you have the Straw. Guava BX. Looks very similar to my Straw. Guava S1. Get ready for a bit more stretch. Maybe just by itself in the tent or go into flowering a bit earlier. I think with a little training or double topping, it will fit well with the Straw. Lobster but also together in a tent. Of course, I'll stick around. Good luck!

@Stony_German, I'm also super happy that I got the strain after Ztarfruit from BloomSeeds got lost somewhere in France via FedEx. Yeah, I planned to top them properly. Then I'll perfect it in the clone run once I know how their growth is. And I'll also take pollen from her 😄

Oh yeah, and you can blast both lights. Especially since it grew really tall and the 1000+PPFD didn't bother it at all. 💪

@GanjaGecko, ah okay, I don't know the series. You can just give more ppfd with this genetics, even in veg and during the stretch. It can handle high values, but that doesn't mean you have to. You've got this under control, so I’m not worried. Those are, for example, the kinds of info I like to gather from people who have had the genetics before. Of course, there are different phenos, but mostly they go in a similar direction if the breeder did a good job.

@GanjaGecko, 850-900 is more than enough. That wouldn't worry me at all. The Wildberry Sours averaged 750-800 and still had its 26% THC and mega loud terps.

@Stony_German, I also thought about blasting more PPFD during veg. But then I can't make a big jump into flowering. This is the old series before the EVO series. I didn't do my research properly when I bought it. When I started growing, I thought "oh, 120W is enough" 🤣🤣 no idea what I was thinking. I was so clueless back then 😄

@Mia_BIOTABS, I've heard a lot of good things about it too. There will definitely be a second clone run, and I'm also going to reverse a clone to collect fem pollen💚 I've been incredibly excited about this strain.

@Stony_German, now that some side branches have found their way up, I hope it spreads the stretch a bit. Otherwise, we'll see how she handles cropping. 😄

@Mia_BIOTABS, 😄 thank you. I'm also incredibly excited about the result. I think I'll go into flowering in 2 weeks. Or I might have to, since it's already stretching like this.

Strawberry Guava is doing it again. 😆 It just grows like that. But that's the only point I would criticize about this genetic. However, it makes up for the trouble with the intensity of the terps and how extremely delicious it smells. Makes you want to take a bite😂

@Stony_German, it's really crazy. I just topped two shoots spontaneously. For the rest, it's going to be LST. With how fast it's growing, otherwise it would take forever for the side shoots to catch up to the canopy😄

The lady looks beautiful and healthy. The side branches will still need support, but you're working with SCROG, so that should be fine. The temps are really hell, man. I saw 40 degrees Celsius for the first time in my life on the car's outside temperature display yesterday. 😂😈😎

@Stony_German, yeah, I believe that too, as delicate as the shoots are so far. Let's see how she does in the coming weeks. We had 33.8°C in the living room, it was insane. I really hope the weather gets a bit more normal again. 😄
