Ah shit, here we go again.
This grow is gonna be 10 times better than the previous run for RQS seeds.
I got myself a full blown AC unit in the room and got the ventilation tube outside of the window.
The temperature in the box is exactly as I set on AC, which is unreal to be frank 😎
No changes after the first week, the seedling is growing steadily with no signs of any issues.
Update: I gave the plants some BioBizz early nutes and they got kind of droopy :(
I've noticed some small mushrooms coming out of the soil - I used mycorrhizae around the seed holes, but it's supposed to spread through the roots. There's also some greening on the parts of the soil like bark. Is that a good sign?
I wouldn't say it's a good sign but it's probably not a terrible sign. Remove the mushroom things. The green on top is very likely a harmless fungi. You can just take off the top layer of soil and put new soil on top, but there's a good chance you will end up doing this a few times. The soil was probably compromised with spores before you even got it.
I got back to plain water as in the previous week additional Root Juice, Bio Heaven and Acti Vera seemed to make the plants droopy (not sure why).
EDIT: Still droopy, did 1 watering when the pot got absolutely dry, so it shouldn't be the case of overwatering.
EDIT: Yep, I'm dumb, they were root bound - thanks to @Fusion for help!
EDIT: Added nutes and topped the plant.
Lately my plant's have been droopy. The leaves were going up until I used early nute mix - BioHeaven, Activera and RootJuice from Biobizz - their NPK is low so I didn't expect them to affect plants. Since then I've watered with clean 6.5 water when dry, so its not overwatering :/
She still hasn't fully caught up after the transplant/topping stress, the other plant (Blueberry) has outgrown her despite being 5 days younger :(
Maybe its just the pheno, but she doesn't grow long stems, looks very stacked unlike Blueberry.
Very happy with the progress, they're growing fast and healthy!
I accidentally snapped one of the leaves' stems, so I cut the other side of the same level.
It's veeeery bushy, I hope this accident lets the bottom parts and leaves breathe more :P
Another week for the Strawberry, she's growing bushy still, but I hope she'll spread out like Blueberry, because it's almost halft the size at this point.
Skipped one day due to BBQ party :P
I had to include some heavy LST to open up the plant, it hardly grew and had little airflow due to its stems growing so short.
Topped the 4 leading stems for the lower ones to catch up.
It's a shame I started taking care of the bushyness only this week, I've probably lost a week of quality growth due to that, now the Blueberry is 2x the size of Strawberry :/
This week I removed the top layer of the soil and covered it up with the remaining Canna Terra Professional I had due to fungus gnats in the white clover I had.
I tried getting rid of them with sticky tape etc. but they still appeared.
Hopefully there's not much stress from this.
I put a trialis net on the ladies, let's see how it goes.
~2 weeks of veg remain
Last days of stretching - she barely stretched :(
Defoliated a fair bit at the end of this week - maybe a little too much, but it will grow back quickly
As I hoped, the ladies are getting fatter.
The smell is goooood already, no hints of strawberry yet, but I hope it does show up along the way ;)
I added some mycorizzhae to the last mix of this week, just to ensure a better absorption over the last month.
Last week of nutrients!
I cut all N possible and finished the bottles of Bio-Heaven and Acti-Vera.
From the next one I'm going to give plain water, pH'd to ~6.6.
Colors are starting to show :)
