Seedsman Strawberry Cheesecake Auto

Welcome to my journey with one of my all time favorite cultivars from Seedsman Seeds, formerly only available in limited quantities as a 'freebie!... now available to everyone, I give you Seedsman's Strawberry Cheesecake Auto! Thank you for taking the time to stop in, I hope you enjoy it half as much as I will! 😎🙏 ~Strawberry Cheesecake Feminized Autoflower~ -Seedsman's Strawberry Cheesecake Auto results from a cross of Strawberry Banana Auto and Cheese Auto. This Indica-dominant wonder grows into medium-sized, robust plants producing very good harvests of dense and resinous buds with good levels of THC. -The flavor produced by the dried buds is quite heavy on the Skunk with some pronounced sweet, fruity/lemon notes. -THC production is around 15% while CBD is rated at below 1%. -Its effect is initially quite physically relaxing although providing mental stimulation at the same time. In fact Strawberry Cheesecake Auto is perfect for daytime smoking/vaping, whether you are relaxing at home or working, it will allow you to complete daily tasks with no impediment while giving a very nice feeling of relaxed contentment. -For medical users Strawberry Cheesecake Auto will help to relieve stress/anxiety and also to increase the appetite. ~Grown 100% organic in a 10g fabric pot with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 2-8-4 and 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Bat Guano. ~24hr light cycle during germination / 19/5 light cycle for Veg & Flower ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed, top dressed every 3-4 weeks and weekly Compost Tea's. 3/3- Day One! When I checked her last evening, you could see the shell of the seed just breaking the surface of the coco/perlite medium. This morning when I checked, LIFE! She was up above ground with her seed shell on her looking like a cute helmet! The cotyledon leaves are a unique purple shade that I've not seen before. I'm very curious to see how this phenotype's coloration expresses through the run! All I'll be doing for the next week is babysitting her to make sure she encounters ZERO stress either physically or environmentally to give her the best shot to be ALL she can be! All water given for the first week will be straight, de-chlorinated and ph'd to 6.4-6.6 @ 74-76 degrees F, with a EC of 0.2. 3/5- Day 3 - Today is a good day! 😎👌 Yesterday she had grown to about 1 1/2" tall but her cotyledon leaves were essentially glued together by the inner membrane of her shell preventing them from opening! I first VERY gently, with a sterilized toothpick, tried to pry off the membrane without success. Then, I tried misting her, and the inside of her clear Solo cup, with some straight water. I placed the cup over her and waited about an hour then tried to remove the membrane again. The second attempt at removing the membrane causing issues was successful and you could almost feel the tension release in her as her cotyledon's spread open revealing the start of her first real set of leaves...Ahhhh! I replaced the Solo cup over her to make sure she is adequately hydrated. 3/7- Day 5 and my little girl is looking marvelous! She no longer needs the Solo cup over her and has her second set of leaves slowly preparing to emerge. She is continuing to get watered daily with straight water de-chlorinated and ph'd to 6.4-6.6 @ 74-76 degrees F, with a EC of 0.2. I have started to add a foliar feeding in the evenings just before lights out which she is loving! The HLG 650R is still @ 42" above her and is set to 300w at the wall with temperatures in the Gorilla 4x8 running a steady 68-78 degrees with a 55% RH. As the next week progresses I will begin incorporating a reduced amount of CalMag+ and Fox Farms Wholly Mackerel into her schedule which still will include the nightly foliar spray. 3/9- Week One of Germination is in the rear view mirror! Now it time to see what this girl's made of. Up until now she has only been receiving straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5. Today while I was feeding some other plants I went ahead and gave her pot a shot of some fresh Compost Tea that I had just brewed up. I only poured the tea around the outer edge of her 10g pot and only used roughly 0.25g, just to feed the microbial colony. Next week she'll be starting Foliar feeding and in two weeks she should be ready to start LST on! 😎🙏 Thank you for tagging along so far! Things should be getting more interesting as the coming weeks approach! I'm excited...are you? See you next week! 😎👍
