Sativa run / Strawberry Amnesia

Here we go again

—

Week 3 from germination These two are growing much better compared to other strains in the tent There is lots of pH swings but I've reused the hydroton again so there might be some leftover stuff but I'm sure I'll work it out soon

Week 4 from germination These two are looking healthy. Maybe one more week and I'll start doing some LST

Week 5 from germination Started the LST for these girls and cut few branches and leaves that was on the way. The idea is to create ~10 tops for each girl and "mainline" those to create huge colas and no larf. Added some Calcium nitrate and 6-6-25 fertilizers and now the ec is 1.5. The pH seems to be stabilizing to 6.4 just like in the last run. I'm using beneficial bacteria and some chelates so I wont be bothered from the pH that much

I like the growing pace of these girls and they are filling the tent nicely. Had to remove some branches and leafs to get better shape

Week 7 from germination Did some lollipopping and continued the LST. They are healthy and filling the tent pretty nicely. I hope to flip the switch after a week

Week 8 from germination This week I flipped the switch to 12/12 and did some preparations for it. I defoliated the girls and spread them out more. Also I sprayed liquid kelp to speed up the flowering and shorten the stretch. CO2 will be added from now on too and I'm using 10kg bottle and controller to maintain 1300-1500ppm levels during lights on. Added more lights so now total is 480W from quantum boards in the 2x4 tent with 8 girls.

First week of flowering They are little bit behind in the flowering compared to other strains in the tent and it has been one week after 12/12 and the stretch is happening but I'm trying to control it with seaweed and intense lights Little bit deficient from magnesium but nothing to worry about yet

Week 3 of flowering I defoliated the girls earlier this week and once again I did not take enough even tho it was half a shopping bag from the whole tent.. 😅 Girls bounced right back up like nothing happened so I'm removing more foliage in a few days. All an all it has been smooth ride so far even tho I managed to bleach the tips last week from too intense light. Changed the lights to 10/14 for a while 'cos two of my girls in the tent are not flowering properly and they are stretching like crazy. Gonna switch back when everything's normal again.

Week 4 from flipping Going smoothly so far and I might have one more SA girl in my tent 'cos I feel like I might have messed up with the seeds and at first I thought I had 2 strawberry amnesia and 2 Arjan's ultra haze #1 but it looks like I have 3 SA and 1 AUH#1. I started to measure and control the pH again just to see how they react to it. Rez water dropped from 7.9 (wow!?) to 7.1 and tomorrow to 6.5 and then to 5.5-6 and I let it be after that again

Week 5 from 12/12 Setup: I adjusted the wattage of flowering lights in the diries to each strain according to total wattage/number of plants of each strain from total Tent & Lights Sinowell 2x4x7 1 x 240W Quantum Board with far red, UV and IR 2 x 120W Quantum Board with far red Growing medium 80l water reservoir with timered pump to lift water to root zone 65l root zone filled with hydroton I accidentally mixed my seeds while germinating and now I have been struggling to figure out which one is which. Pretty sure I have 3 strawberry amnesias growing in the left side but there might be one Psicodelcia too. I'm pretty sure about the 3 SA's but the phenos look somewhat different and the middle one is ripening much faster than others so I'm not sure. All on all the girls are growing faster than my other grows so I'm hoping to get my best yield so far. I started to adjust pH again to see if it brings anything new to the game. Thank you for likes and follows 😇👌

Week 6 from 12/12 They are looking good and packing weight every day. The one looks to be ripening faster than others but let's wait until the end to be sure. Smell is getting stronger, some sour and citrus and something. So happy with these ladies

I accidentally mixed up the seeds real bad when germinatin so my diaries are kinda mixed before this post but here are the details of my current run Setup and Plants 7 in total 3/9 Psicodelicia 2/9 Strawberry amnesia 1/9 Arjan's ultra haze #1 1/9 Lemon power haze Sinowell tent 2"x4"x7" 1 x 240W Quantum Board with far red, UV and IR 2 x 120W Quantum Board with far red Growing medium 80l water reservoir with timered pump to lift water to root zone 65l root zone filled with hydroton Week 8 from 12/12 These frosty girls are coming along very nicely. Two differnet phenos and the might ripen at different times it seems. I had to cut one main bud 'cos there was some bud rot inside but I adjusted my fans etc. so no more should appear. Really dense nugs and covered in trichomes so I can't wait to chop these soon

Setup and Plants 7 in total 3/7 Psicodelicia 2/7 Strawberry amnesia 1/7 Arjan's ultra haze #1 1/7 Lemon power haze Sinowell tent 2"x4"x7" 1 x 240W Quantum Board with far red, UV and IR 2 x 120W Quantum Board with far red Growing medium 80l water reservoir with timered pump to lift water to root zone 65l root zone filled with hydroton Week 9 from 12/12 These two girls are ripening nicely and the other is going to be harvested maybe next week. Judging by the trichomes, they are mostly clear and cloudy with some amber too and the other girl whos developing slightly slower is more cloudy/clear trichomes and might need week more

Setup and Plants 7 in total 3/7 Psicodelicia 2/7 Strawberry amnesia 1/7 Arjan's ultra haze #1 1/7 Lemon power haze Sinowell tent 2"x4"x7" 1 x 240W Quantum Board with far red, UV and IR 2 x 120W Quantum Board with far red Growing medium 80l water reservoir with timered pump to lift water to root zone 65l root zone filled with hydroton Finally I got to harvest these beauties and they were cut at flowering day 63 with mostly cloudy strichome heads and maybe 10-15% amber. This run was not as easy as my last and even tho these two girls gave pretty decent yield, with 215g total, my overall yield from the whole tent will not be what I was hoping for. I had 4 different strains and when flipped flowering two sativas did not want to flower at first and I had to play with the light schedule a little to get things running better and I decided to flower under 11/13 lights after first couple weeks. Vegetative phase went as expected and these girls reacted to LST really good without any sign of slowing down. Defoliation also did not seem to bother them at all and i even managed to break one stem while bending them but it was good cola in the end! In flowering they stretched bit more than I was expecting and I did not lollipop them enough so I got yet again quite a lot of popcorn buds, and now that i think about it, I should have added more lights under the canopy to get better buds in the lower sites. I dried these plants in cardboard boxes for 10 days and they got slighlty too dry, 'cos after putting them to jars, the humidity meters showed 55-58%, but I added those bigger (67g) 62% Boveda bags. Both of these girls have totally different terpene profiles, while the other is really strong gassy/cheesy smell the other is more of a strong spices and herbs type of smell. Buds have decen amount of trichomes but not bursting like the newer strains, still the smell and the density of the buds makes up for it 100% Most definitely can recommend and dinafemseeds did not disappoint me with this one at all
