Strawberry Lemonade DWC

GnomesAndStones Day 1-6 🌱 Germinated in a Glass of water with some hydrogen peroxide. She grew her tap root after just 12 hours, despite being refridgerated for a year. 💧 I watered her with dechlorinated tap water at pH 5,6. Added 1,5 ml of CalMag because of our soft tap water resulting in 300 PPM. ☀️ Started her life with 300 PPFD. ❗Grew fine, but had burnt tips on her first set of leaves. I didn't know why and left everything as it was, since she had a healthy Green color. Day 6-7 ❗At the end week 1 she started to show some yellowing on her newest leaves. I thought it might have been too much light, considering she was on low water and nutrients because she didn't hit the reservoir yet. ☀️ Dimmed the light down to 150 PPFD. 💧Gave her some nutrients for the start of week 2 resulting in ~480 PPM.

GnomesAndStones Day 8-14 🌱 A great week for the Strawberry Lemonade! She fully outgrew any issues she had in during her first few days. Her first few sets of leaves were a bit small, but now she is getting her self some real solar pannels. On day 14 her roots finally hit the reservoir, so i am expecting some explosive growth for week 3. ☀️ On day 11, when it was clear that she was doing great, i increased her light to 400 PPFD again. 💧On day 11, the PPM were increased to 600. ❗I planned on topping her after 2 nodes but her first few leaves were so small that i was too worried of stunned growth. Instead i will either top her after 4 nodes and leave them all, or top after 3 and remove the lowest one to still end up with 4 main branches. I am currently tending towards the second option.

GnomesAndStones Day 15-16 🌱 She grew nicely, not much to say for these two days. ❗Showed some slight light stress on her newest growth, with leaves curling upwards. I later found out, that on top of the just recently increased light, my brother switched the lamp from UIS mode to 20%, meaning she completely missed out on one night. ☀️ Reduced her PPFD from 550 down to 450. Day 17-21 🌱 Healthy green leaves and fine growth. On day 19, I topped her and removed the branches of the two lowest nodes. At least thats what i thought. On day 20 i had to notice, that i also removed one of the branches i meant to keep... Well, now she is going to have 3 main branches instead of two. Honestly, i'm not mad at all to grow something different. ❗The light was left on 20% overnight again, this time by me, resulting in reeally curled leaves. I didn't change anything to not mess with her cycle, knowing she will be fine in veg.

GnomesAndStones 🌱 Fantastic week! She is looking perfectly healthy, drinking ~0,5L per day and growing fast. I will probably change the light cycle to 12/12 during the next week and am super excited to see her flowers. I am already letting one branch grow a bit taller than the others to hopefully achieve a massive Cola. Day 23 ☀️ Increased her the light to 450 PPFD 💧The reservoir is topped up every few days with growing nutrients at 650 ppm

GnomesAndStones Day 29-35 🌱 Beautiful week, no issues whatsoever. Started the reduction of her day time on day 35 with 16:30 h of light. I will keep on reducing to 15 h on day 36 and then by 1 hour a day until i get to 12/12. I continued to lollipop any branches to get 3 main colas with just some smaller branches at the sides instead of one uniform branch and bud size. Day 31 ☀️ Increased her light intensity to 500 PPFD. Day 32 💧 Topped up reservoir with 3 L and increased her ppm to 800 because she got the previous solution down to 400 ppm from the initial 600 ppm, indicating to me that she is hungrier.
