Well here we go into Week Two of Veg! ππWith two weeks of initial growth behind her now, the Seedsman Strawberry Cheesecake Auto is doing fantastic and sprouting her 4th and 5th sets of leaves which is such a beautiful sight to see! Thank you for following along this journey with me! Growing this beautiful cultivar is always better with someone to share the experience with....come along and enjoy! ππ
~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.
3/16- Week Two of veg....now things will get interesting fast with the phenomenal growth that this girl is exhibiting!
I must say this Seedsman Strawberry Cheesecake Auto continues to really impress me with her rate of growth, vigor and overall ease of growing. She takes everything you can throw at her and asks politely for more whether it be LST, water or nutrients, she takes it all in stride without complaint. Just a few of the reasons I love this strain!
She continues to receive nightly foliar feedings with Fox Farms Flower Kiss mixed @ 5ml/g and applied just before the 5 hour dark period. Daily watering's continue with de-chlorinated water to which I'm now alternating adding 5ml/g of Fox Farms Wholly Mackerel to for a feed and then switching to Fox Farms Microbe Brew @ 5ml/g and Fox Farms Big Bloom (OMRI organic) @ 10ml/g then each is ph'd to 6.4-6.6 @ 72deg. with a 0.4 EC 350-400ppm.
The temp's are running a constant 74-80 degrees @ 50% RH with 900 ppm's of co2 during the 19 hour light cycle. I have the HLG 650R hung 40 above her and it's currently pulling 350w at the wall hitting her with around 900 umol's.
When I water I soak the her pot thoroughly, but not to the point of runoff. Twice a week when I water I add water to the tray under her pot to let the medium draw up the liquid into the pot to ensure that it's moist throughout for those roots to grow into! ππ
3/18- She's continuing her phenomenal growth rate and has such a perfect structure... Picture perfect!
Daily watering's continue with de-chlorinated water to which I'm now alternating adding 5ml/g of Fox Farms Wholly Mackerel to for a feed and then switching to Fox Farms Microbe Brew @ 5ml/g and Fox Farms Big Bloom (OMRI organic) @ 10ml/g then each is ph'd to 6.4-6.6 @ 72deg. with a 0.4 EC 350-400ppm.
Her nightly foliar feedings with Fox Farms Flower Kiss mixed @ 5ml/g continue and are applied just before the 5 hour dark period.
3/20- I decided to go ahead and top dress with organic dry amendments today. I used Dr. Earth Premium 4-4-4 and Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 @ 2 tbsp. per gallon of medium, with a ratio of 43%/57% respectively, which I spread around in the pot and then worked it into the top layer of medium by hand. After working it in, I watered it in thoroughly with .75g of de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Fox Farms Microbe Brew added to further inoculate the medium with beneficial bacteria and mycorrhiza which should really give a boost to the plant when she gets ready to go into pre-flower.
3/22- Well here we go with Week Two of veg behind us now there's nothing but excitement from here on. She's a freak at this point with her growth making her look like she's a week older than what she is! I'm pretty confident that this pheno is going to be something very special! Onward to Week Three...Let's get this thing going! ππ
Thank you so much for following along so far! I hope you'll continue to follow my journey as things will be getting more exciting as the next weeks approach with her starting pre-flower... Grow Strong! ππ
