Went away for seven days had a friend come by and water the garden Absolutely exploded since I’ve seen them last very pleased with all of the plants except for mystery auto number one. It is disappointing me some but hopefully the top will bring more growth. Can’t wait to see these continued to develop!!!

This one is going to be weirdly exciting like all grows… but nothing beats growing strain you know nothing about down to to it’s ID. This is why this diary is dubbed Unknown Strain, and a lot more journals will be dubbed unknown strain. eg. Unknown Strain #1 - these strains are seeds I’ve collected and forgot to catalogue Unknown Strain (dealer/grow name #1) - I have it this way,to indicate where or from whom did I get the seed, but failed to get the accurate information regarding the strain. Alike this particular diary. I received seeds from my friend saplug16.20_exotic_genetics. Check out his work on instagram, his my mentor in growing. But I go overboard when it comes to growing. Ever since I’ve seen YouTube videos of growers growing weed plants like bonsais, I started growing my plants like I am growing actual bonsais, LST them in shapes and size while using defoliation and topping to achieve aesthetics. This type of growing is not focused on yield more for the hobbyist who grows for themselves and close friends. But I want to see if I can get more yield with this type of growing bud.

welcome everyone to my Strawberry Tent GrowOFF I will be showcaseing 6 diffrent starberry autoflowers from 6 diffrent breeders, we will see what ones win the superfichal awards of: Best In Tent, Best Smell, Best Buds, Best Yeild, Best Taste, Best Form and Best High. 6 plants and 7 awards, I have a feeling some of the strains may take 2 or 3 of the awards and a few of them may not make it to fruition. The tests will be blind and then matched to a key at the end to find out who is who to avoid as much bias as I can given that I some of my firends will be the sole judges for most of these catagories. + [Best In Tent] = Over all best plant in the tent. + [Best Smell] = The best smelling plant based of my sences fresh & cured will be raited + [Best Buds] = The best looking buds visually, colour, density and frost will be raited + [Best Yeild] = The heavyist yeilder of them all, total grams/OZ will be raited + [Best Taste] = The tastyist tasteing buds, peronsal prefrence based on the gunipigs I outsouce to smoke/vape the buds. + [Best Form] = The best growth pattern and form out of the plants, nothing to strechy or compact. + [Best High] = The best feeling buds from getting stoned, peronsal prefrence based on the gunipigs I outsouce to smoke/vape the buds. I would like to extend a big thank you for all the sponsors of this grow. From Lighting to Nutrients to the Seeds themselfs. #1 Medic Grow LED Lights, I will be useing 2x 240w MiniSun2's dimmed to aorund 60-80% at peak flower. https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow #2 Metrop Nutrients, They have sent me a starter pack that I will use to grow these ladies out. https://metrop.net/ https://metrop.store/products/startbox #3 all the brands who donated to the cause, in no pictular order: Exotic Seeds, Pure Instinto, Seedsman, Original Sensible Seeds, Fastbuds & *Barneys farm* **indacate the seed was gifted to me from another grower and the breeder did not choose to partiscapte in this growOFF but are part of it anyway. https://www.exoticseed.eu/products/strawberry-cola-auto https://pureinstinto.com/product/strawberry-shortcake-autoflower-cannabis-seeds/ https://www.seedsman.com/us-en/strawberry-cheesecake-auto-feminised-seeds-sman-strchcake-auto-fem https://originalsensible.com/original-sensible-seeds-strawberry-pie-auto~22096 https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/strawberry-pie-auto https://www.barneysfarm.com/strawberry-cheesecake-auto-569 I will be growing these in a coir/perlite medium with liquid hydrophonic nutrients. The pot size will be 2 Gal each for 12Gal total medium in a 2x4 tent under a potentinla maxium of 480W via the 2x Medic Grow Mini Sun 2's LED Lights. Germination methyod will be the same, soaking seeds in water then into the final pots medium. They will be getting a 18/6 light scheulde from start to finish and a PH of between 6.2-6.5 for the entire grow. I will be useing some root incolulents to help the plants form a strong and healty realnship with the medium. From what I can tell this should go smoothly without many issues. I have a few good friedns on here who only grow in hydro so if I run into any issues I am going to hit them up and learn some new things. Good Luck to all the brands competeing. I will host a question poll to see who thinks what one will susceed the most. and Maybe open it to eveyone to help rate the best looking buds catgory. One thing to note is I am mixing all my nutrients into a massive pail that is about 2Gal and I mix it till it hits a desired EC point, so the measurements of ml/l is a bit of a guesstimate. I know its in the ruff ball park area of what I added but it could be off by a bit. m0use

DAY 14 F: Hi all. I hope we are all coping and navigating this tumultuous time in the "other world" . It has been a really good week for the ladies this week and even the little chica has improved slightly from her attempted poisoning by hands yet unknown ????. Lol They have all been really productive in their stretch periods and i had to move the fc3000 up a fair bit to stop them reaching the panel. I want to avoid any supercropping to use the plants natural structures on this final auto run. The tip spreading has been effective at stopping them over growing the height restriction and has now used the stretch period to space all the budsites into good positions for light and air movement. I want to also avoid having to remove any of the powerhouse fan leaves that are going to help convert and store all those sugars and goodies for the bud development soon. Inwill tet to keep them from light blocking lower leaves and growth by tucking them away where I can. They are around 2ft in height with the Strawberry Pie being the taller of the 3 strains. All have fairly long node gaps whichb had hoped to avoid so they would stack the buds rather than grow in small clusters but I know from previously growing them all that they make some very nice harvested and cured nugs. I am still only feeding water but will be doing another tea of biosys and a top dressing of life-cycle too this week to give the biosphere a hand and the girls a boost from that. The light is really doing them justice with plenty of deep penetration to the soil bed in places too. There are no signs of hot spots or too much intensity so far so an even spread of those light ranges has fed them perfectly. With the convenience of the soil beds , In the tent I have from Mars being the perfect size for this light , it could be a match made in heaven for the upcoming photoperiod run with the FC3000 too. Just need to find a way to hang the tent with my horrible apex roof first..... lol With Bud Porn on order for next weeks update , I bid you all farewell or as we say in the UK, "tatty bye for now" growmies. Be lucky

It's amazing how quickly the weather can change. Just a few weeks ago we were bundled up in our warmest coats, and now it's finally starting to feel like springtime. With temps in the 40s and 50s, it's the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. My pound cake plant is finally getting somewhere. It's totally weird, because the stems turned this super cool purple color. Soon it's going to be covered in pound cake buds that'll be ready to eat. I'm thinking fancy frosting might be the way to go, but I'm also considering something fruity on top.

I think everything is going well, but this is my first grow what do I know? The plants have very little internodal spacing. I mean like very little. They are squat little bushes with nodes stacked right on top of each other. Right now, most of the plants are still under 6 inches. However, they seem healthy, are growing daily, have healthy stems, and are eating and drinking. I have fimmed them all now, and are attempting to LST them. I also removed a few fan leaves to open up the middle a bit. I have raised daytime temps from around 73 to 76, with lows down to 68. I have lowered the humidity as well. I was trying to keep 60% humidity in the tent. However, I put a hygrometer under the leaves of one plant and saw 10-15% more humidity in the plant than the tent (from the buckets?). I lowered the humidity in the tent, and the plants started drinking/eating more right away. Also added a fan to move the air around in the tent more. Right now, the plan is to keep LST for another week, then switch to flower. Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Thanks for reading.

This week I defoliated. Waited three weeks into flowering, to not stress them like I did last grow. She is rewarding me with some fat bud growth at many sites. I overwatered beginning of this week, but hey seemed to have taken it well. I did another amendment. The first one last week was a test, to see how they responded, they took it well. Just compare last week to this one. The amendment I did: - 5 liters of worm castings - 2 cups bonemeal - 1 cup wood ash - 1 cup microlife I layered this on top of my pots, covering this with bio-coco (pre fertilized) to ward of gnats. The gnats have been getting less and less. They don't like the coco that much, while humidity is just the same and last week higher since I did some more watering. I watered with the perma tea. While this is pretty acidic (PH 5), I can amend with more wood-ash, if you don't and follow this recipe, don't do too much wood-ash since it will kill off your micro organisms. I lowered the light diagonally since the outer right plant is longer and closer to it. The SP 3000 is still performing as you can see. Temps were a bit higher with the lights so low, so far the Orange Hill Special doesn't seem to mind. Im totally amazed with the results so far. Look for the great end of year deals at www.mars-hydro.com. Thank you for checking in on me again! Hug Bud

Honestly— grow diaries screwed up big time here. I have two weeks of this diary completely missing after their update. I delete the pics so I can’t re update the lost weeks they deleted. This is week 8 and I chopped up this tester. Came out beautifully! Love the color. The density is on point, and the terps are pine cleaner. Harvest update next week. Big yield here!!!
