Strawberry Craze

Hell_Money Still on a smaller side for being almost at week 3, so I decided to plant a Strawberry Cheesecake seed that's yet to break out from the soil - just in case. Hate growing in the summer

Hell_Money We're at the beginning of week 3, and things are starting to pick up! Tonight I'll start with the Alga Grow, we'll see how the youngin reacts. I was thinking about getting some Fish Force, but I honestly dread visiting my local grow shop - the guys who manage it are always out for coffee break. The Banana Cheesecake is almost out of the soil, I'll probably create a different diary for that one. See you at the end of the week! End of week update Started some LST, it's been ages since the last time I've done it and I just wanted to try my hand at it again. Temperatures have reached their peak, or so they say - in my region a record of 50°C was registered, so let's just say I'm just glad every living being in my house is still living!

Hell_Money Growth has been slow, but steady - I also found a way to keep temperatures inside the tent under 35°C, which is probably helping a bit. According to forecasts, these are the last days of unbearable heat, so let's hope the last weeks of veg are going to be nicer to this little guy!

Hell_Money So, 1st day of week 5 and everything was looking good - growth was good, finally showing the smallest pre-flowers... And then, while doing some defoliation and getting rid of the smaller, weaker branches, I decided to bend the top some more, and - snap! I was thinking about trying topping in the near future, but it looks like it will happen sooner than later. The stem is almost completely broken - I tried to mend it, but I don't have much faith. Between this and not being able to get a seed to sprout from soil, I'm starting to believe by ex cursed me, and this is the result 😒 JK, I know it's mostly and issue of temperatures and not being able to keep my hands to myself, but I'll keep eradicating his traces from my spaces all the same 🍀 Day after update Well, this one is a fighter, let me tell you this! A few hours after the accident I changed the first "bandage" with a less invasive, but sturdier one. Today she seems quite fine, with only a fan leaf looking quite stressed, so I decided to just get rid of that one. We'll see how she does over the next few days 🌚

Hell_Money Last week of veg, we're finally here! The not-so-young lady survived quite well after being almost decapitated, even though it didn't get much taller - not an issue, since I don't really care about it growing in height. Switched to Alga Bloom just yesterday, she'll probably stretch over the week and hopefully will get into full flowering mode soon. Temps will still be on the higher side, but should start getting lower by the middle of the month. Also eliminated secondary branches that were forming in the main branches and some foliage.
