Strawberry Cheesecake Auto Grow

Honestly, i dont see it doing any long term damage. Just keep feeding her what she likes, keep the PH constant, and itll be smooth sailing!! Those leaves look MASSIVE BRO!! Still doing a great job 👌

These ladies look great! I defoliate pretty early. Id say you can do it at this point, especially if fan leaves are blocking crucial points below. Plus, these girls look healthy enough to bounce back. I usually defoliate right before I feed/water, where i defoliate every 3 days now. Im glad to see someone running these genetics, since i have 10 or so of these seeds. Happy growing!

I would definitely say the ph is out of wack a tad and she is starting to show a little stress, hence the yellow leaves. You may need to add more PH Down, depending on what other nutes you add to the water. You have to keep in mind that each of those nutes have a ph buffer, or ph level that it makes the feeding solution. You have to "overcome" that buffer to your desired PH. If you had Reverse Osmosis water that had no natural buffer, only a few drops would be needed to make major PH change. Just keep adding ph down and checking the PH. Also make sure your meter is calibrated. In my experience, letting the solution sit always makes the ph go up, closer to 7. I keep my solution around 6.18. Temperature of the water can also change the ph. Either way, she is still growing very well and you should not be worried. Happy growing my dude;)

What is the pH of your feeding mixture? Do you measure the PH and PPM of the runoff if there is any? The ph change alone should tell you the ph of the medium. These girls look pretty healthy though. Id say as long as you dont fluctuate the ph of the feedings, these ladies will keep on sailing on. These girls will be using their space, thats forsure! They are HUGE. Especially at this age. Keep it up!

Its hard to see if there is any issue with the leaf coloring given the pics. It looks like just normal coloring after starving her and maturing. In general though, most strains develop color as you 'starve' them to their finish. Nothing to worry about. Im pretty sure this strain gets reddish and possibly purple sugar leaves. Also, have you checked out her trichomes? That is a good identifier as to when to flush and finish out. They are also the only identifier i use to know when to harvest.
