I grew this same strain (same batch of seeds, in fact) last year and it was abysmal. She was short, squat and never even made it to flower properly. Granted, it was my first year growing, and she was my only soil plant. Hopefully, this year will be better! This is the first week that the little Strawberry has been up-and-at-'em. She's still a seedling, so I'll be keeping her nutrient intake pretty low until she has a few sets of true leaves. There's no proper data on nutrients since I eyeballed a P/K-rich solution for some quick root growth, but measurements will be taken next week for sure. The dual 32W tube fluorescents that I had her and my other plants under proved to be too weak (161.53 umol/sm2), and they ended up growing pretty leggy. To counteract this, I threw her into my spacebucket with two 23W CFLs (at 1025 umol/sm2) to give her both extra light and extra airflow. I figure that (with some close monitoring to make sure she doesn't die) a little airflow will help her build some resilience and thicken up that leggy stem.
