Seedsman Strawberry Cheesecake Auto

Well here we go into Week Six and the 3rd Week of flower! 👏😎With seven weeks of initial growth behind her now, the Seedsman Strawberry Cheesecake Auto is doing fantastic and is in flower now and stacking her flowers! 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! 😎🙏 ~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. 4/12- We're starting the week off with a 'no water' day as when I checked her pot this morning it was fairly heavy. Today was just turn her pot 1/4 turn, 'tuck-n-pluck' a couple of shade leaves and monitor temp's in the tent. We're in-between seasons now and on warm days the grow room A/C unit has a difficult time keeping the tent below 80 degrees with the HLG 650R now cranked up to full power pulling 660w at the wall. On the warmest days I have been cranking the light back to 400w later in the afternoon, which is the warmest part of the day, which seems to help a lot. Once I turn on the main A/C, the grow room A/C will have no problem keeping tent temp's at 77-78 degrees max., which I'll be doing sooner than later with summer fast approaching! 4/14- I solved the temperature issue in the tent! I determined that my 4x4 did not really require any supplemental cooling and I wasn't happy with the amount of airflow coming from the IdealAir 14k btu portable A/C unit I use to cool the tents. So I disconnected all of the ducting hoses from the A/C and removed them from the tent. Then, I cut a 5 7/8" circular hole in the right side door of the 4x8 and placed the A/C unit facing the tent. I fabricated an air collector from sheet metal that grabs all the cool air coming out of the front of the unit and puts it through a circular 6" short extension tube which I inserted into the hole I made in the tent door. This puts ALL of the cool air directly into the 4x8 where it's circulated by the two 18" Hurricane fans and two 6" clip-on fans which now has temperatures running 78-79 deg. max with the HLG 650R's at max power pulling 660w at the wall each...I'm so relieved to get this issue under control with flowering occurring so that I can keep temp's in the ideal range to aide in trichome production and getting that beautiful fade and coloration as they finish! My girl recieved her usual watering of 0.75g of dechlorinated water with Fox Farms Open Sesame added @ 0.5 tsp/g and Bembe @ 1 tbsp/g, then ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 deg. 1.2 EC which she is doing well on, showing no signs of any issues. Her color, vigor and overall health remain consistently on point and she is going crazy stacking her beautiful flowers! 4/16- Yesterday was a 'dry' day as her 10g fabric pot was still pretty heavy so I continued with the daily routine of checking the moisture level of the medium, feeding when needed and turning her pot 1/4 turn twice daily to expose as much of her to as much light as possible! Today she recieved 0.75g of dechlorinated water with Fox Farms Open Sesame added @ 0.5 tsp/g and Bembe @ 1 tbsp/g, then ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 deg. 1.2 EC. 4/18- Week Three of flower is behind us now and may the coming weeks be FILLED with beautiful buds! 😍 Watering continued today with 0.75g of dechlorinated water with Fox Farms Bembe @ 1 tbsp/g, then ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 deg. and gave her pot a 1/4 turn. The HLG 650R is now at max, pulling 660w at the wall, and I'm adding UVA for 4 hours in the middle of the 19 hour light cycle via a HLG UVA30 supplemental light bar which is attached to the 650R's underside. It's been a great week for this lady and I foresee an epic fourth week coming up! Be sure to check in on the progress as things heat up! 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 go by with the Strawberry Cheesecake Auto busting out flowers... Grow Strong! 😎🙏
