The Ztrawberriez Auto is very resistant has a great sweet strawberry smell throughout the garden. As you can easily see from my grow question, I was initially afraid for the plants due to the high temperature in the greenhouse (as soon as the sun shone ~40 degrees). It turned out that the plant seemed to like it and rewarded me with beautiful buds with purple tips. Growdiaries won't let me delete the question otherwise this would have happened long ago... She finished very quickly and took just 70 days from seed to harvest. All this confirms that fastbuds is the right address for autoflowers. I'm already looking forward to the next run.

6/18/22 Today starts week 5, and the beginning of the mid-bloom nutrients, step 3. Jackie has had a little explosion in growth the last few days, and is now standing 16 inches tall. She is currently positioned 14 inches below the light at 100% power. She took half a gallon of water mixed with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 4.7 ml FloraGro - 3.8 ml FloraBloom - 8.5 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 2 ml The pH was 6.2, and was not adjusted. She had plenty of runoff with a pH of 6.0. The tent temperature was 86.9F, and humidity was 40%. Jackie is doing wonderful, and her small size is growing on me when all of her tent mates are giants! Happy growing everyone! 6/20/22 Jackie is doing awesome! She’s grown another 2 inches in just 2 days! She’s now 18 inches tall. I made a video log today, and I believe that I mistakenly said she is 19 inches, but I was incorrect. She’s 18 inches tall. No biggie, but I do like to be precise. I defoliated her today, taking most of her larger leaves off to open more space for light to get to all her buds. This little auto is starting to grow on me with the ease of growing that she provides. She’s small, but still looks like she’s going to produce a decent amount of bud. I’m still using the same level of nutrients as the previous note, so I’m not going to repeat them here. The initial pH was 6.2, and was not adjusted. Runoff was sufficient, and the pH was 6.1. The tent temperature was 84.2F, and the humidity was 52%. Things are going well in my grow room, and I hope the same for all of you. Happy growing everyone! 6/23/22 Despite my not giving her any attention for 2 days, Jackie is continuing to grow and develop her buds into pure goodness. At least I hope it’s pure goodness! She’s a new cultivar for me, and I’m looking forward to getting acquainted with her soon. Jackie has grown another 1.5 inches in the last 3 days, and is now 19.5 inches tall. She received half a gallon of water mixed with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 4.7 ml FloraGro - 3.8 ml FloraBloom - 8.5 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 2 ml The pH was 6.3, and not adjusted. She had plenty of runoff, with a pH of 6.0. The tent is crowded, but she has her own spot and gets plenty of airflow. The tent temperature was 85.1F, and the humidity was 51%. She continues to do well, which gives me joy. I wish joy upon each of you and your grow rooms! Happy growing everyone!

June 8: Northern wildlife for Northern Lights diary. Great Horned Owl ( I think) as shot on old iPhone from grow area. There for about 20 minutes not moving, just swivelling his head around looking for a meal.

March 10 - 17, 2025 Lots of activity and growth in the tent this week. After resolving two run away events with the Blumat system and the carrots in Anastasia and Carol Anne that I think are finally resolved. Anastasia’s moisture curve is between 90 - 110 mbar. And the other two are also stable. They are going through about 1/4 of a gravity feed 5 gallon bucket mounted 5 ft above the soil and outside the tent for easy access. I am now mixing a bucket batch with 2.5 gallons of plain RO water ph leveled to 5.8 with an average temperature in the low 60 degrees. I am still using the 10 part - General Hydroponic nutrient line feed chart on week 4+ moderate feed and am mixing into two gallons on RO water with an average temperature of 60ish. Using the following nutrients in the exact order which is important to follow to avoid mixing issues. 2 gallons fresh Reverse Osmosis filtered water with a base zero EC level. Silica = 5ml Calmag = about 4ml General Hydroponics Flora Series 3 part nutrients: FloraMicro = about 11ml FloraGro = about 14ml FloraBloom = about 8ml Additives: - General Hydroponics FloraBlend = a out 10ml - General Hydroponics Floralicious Plus = 3ml - House & Garden HGDPC002 Drip Clean = 8ml Last step is to level ph to 5.8 My nutrient batch ends up at 5.8 ph with an EC level of 2.0 at about 60 degrees f. I then pour the 2 gallon nutrient mix into the 2.5 gallons of plain RO water to dilute the solution per sustainable village blumat system recommendations. The final batch usually requires a final ph spot check and minor adjustments. So far the planned schedule based on a current 4 day depletion rate will be to start with s fresh mixed batch as mentioned above. When the bucket level reaches 3/4 empty i replenish the bucket to 1/2 full using plain RO water ph leveled to 5.8. Then top off the bucket with another 2 gallons of nutrient rich mix as mentioned above. This increases the EC level to about 1.25. Then on the second reservoir depletion I will let the bucket drain to close to the empty level without letting it go dry. After the 2nd replenishment is almost gone i will do a 3 gallon hand watering with a mix of Real Growers Recharge - Mycorrhizae Instant Compost Tea/Soil Microbes mixed into each 1 gallon poured into each pot. This achieves 3 things, the first are the obvious benefits of better nutrient intake. It also allows for a good drain to waste to help flush salt buildups. Lastly it saturates the pot moisture levels down to the low 70-80mbar range and essentially temporarily deactivates the blumat system and prolongs the call for water and nutrients from the reservoir for an extra 12-24 hours until the pots dry out to the blumat carrots calibrated settings of about 110-120 mbar. I will have to adjust as I switch to flower but overall, now that the blumat system is dialed in and I understand it better I find tat it is very effective at keeping the tent environment more stable ad efficient. The plants seem happy as shit and maintain Ing a reservoir with a bi weekly hand watering flush is so much better than my old ways of mixing 2-3 gallon nutrient batches and hand watering/feeding and dry vacuuming it all up every two days is way better and less wastefull and more sustainable. So far It appears it was worth the investment and the test of my time and patience. The week was also full of a few defoliation snd lollipoping with plenty of scrog net low stress training to continue to fill out the canopy. Drizzella (right) is still stealing the show and dominating her presence in the tent with 30-40 potential cola points. Anastasia (left) is smaller than her sister but is responding well to all the LST and defoliation. DD he has significantly less potential cola points, but her fan leaves are larger but also softer or more silky feeling. Carol Anne (middle) continues to be a short stubborn and mesmerizing cultivar. She resembles a head of lettuce and is so strikingly different than her two cousins. I rounded out the week with continued VPD monitoring to maintain about 1 kpa with an average leaf temp offset of -3 degrees. I then pulled the Vivosun Aerolight 150SE led light from my smaller and currently dormant 3x3 tent and installed it in the 3x5 tent. Even though the AC infinity Ionboard is doing the job on its own. I added the second light for better light distribution across the tent as I was getting good DLi levels in the 30s in the middle of the tent but it tapered off to low 20s near the walls. After adding the second light I am now achieving PPFD rates of 500-600 and DLI levels in the low 30s from wall to wall and i think it will make a good impact on growth and a more efficient tent environment as The added circulation from the built in fan on the light, as well as increased heat generated from the lights is demanding less from the heaters.

A week with lots of activity from my side, from the Gorilla's side, not so much. She stays behind and I can't find any other reason than genetics/seed quality. She is in exactly the same conditions as the other girls. I'm letting her do her thing. She will give some weed, well see how much. Maybe she is a late-bloomer. She does look lush and healthy so we do not understand but are learning. I put in the scrog net since her roommates need it and lowered the lights and started giving more flowering feed. The light is still awesome, the amount it puts out. This SP- 3000 rocks and, wallet permitting, we will go for a second one. @MarsHydroLED might be so happy with the amount of coverage we give them, they'll send us another one 😏 If you haven't seen it yet and you are in the market for new gear, check out the Black Friday super sale on www.mars-hydro.com!! We are gonna see what happens coming weeks with this strain. So far I am a bit disappointed and didn't expect this from this strain. We will never know if it was the age of the seeds or something else. What I do know is, it was the last time I use a third party seedbank, it is apparently too hard to keep fresh stock with too many strains. Until breeders put a production date o the packaging. Isn't it time someone said that? Cause lets keep it real, we are talking seeds that in any other case would have a cost of production of fractions of cents per seed. We pay what? 3 to 5 to maybe even 20 dollars a seed for an exceptional strain? Is it then too much too ask to put a friggin expiry date on the package? Or store them cooled? The breeder that does that and arranges a deal with third-parties that overstock can be sent back, packaging recycled, in exchange for fresh stock. Like any other fresh trade. For an industry making what, a billion worldwide, it is remarkable how many are still in the stoner with a garage / 80's trailer park, backwater funfair warranty, kinda customer service. Me: i grow organic weed for 30 years, these seeds were old Seed dealer: Yes but you failed to do a raindance on the rising moon, no refund. Me: but its for cannabis? Weed industry: Yes why we charged you double! Me: wow no germination after paying 20 bucks for seeds? Industry: They are all stoners, they won't notice.... Me: but this bong is made from toxic plastics? Headshop: yeas but it has this crumbling image of a leaf, 20 dollar! Can they get their shit together? For god's sake, I've seen crack dealers with better PR and customer care. Someone do sumtin, take us out of the car boot era please?

A memorable harvest. The buds are all very high quality and cleaning them was easy as the pruning I did did not produce any popcorn buds. The flavor is among the most intense I've ever tried and it's a plant that I would recommend to everyone.

In questa settimana la crescita é stata veloce anche grazie ai fertilizzanti. LST ho dovuto sistemarlo ogni giorno perché continuavano a crescere nuove gemme e l’apicale tornava sempre su. Il tronco si é irrobustito tanto.

Creo que en dos semanitas mas están, estoy dudando de si llego a los 400g en producción final, espero que si, pero veremos, tuve problemas de PH alto por no saber que regaba con agua con PH de 9, y ahora ya estoy rebajando con vinagre blanco, usando 3,75 ml por litro de agua...

Chopped on day 131 from seed in soil. Ended up with 6.63 oz of dry flower, some large and mostly smaller dense nugs. Smells great. I'll test it out after curing for awhile.

This week was a bit bumpy, I found that I am dealing with a two main issues. First being that the plants are much too dense and close together. Makes it near impossible for me to remove the dead leaves that are falling on the Coco which eventually attract fungus. So far I have cleared the top of the medium the best I can without being able to see it. Second issue is that my timer for the irrigation is not functioning properly. I left for a weekend and my plant sitter did not realize the plants weren't being fertigated. Came back to my whole grow smelling of hay. After manually getting the feeding back on track they have fully recovered. Issues aside it's starting to look like chop day is 1 or 2 weeks away. Just in time for Christmas

UPDATE GUYS!!!!! So the girls are doing great I got some new genetics also I'll be doing for my next grows and so forth, but yea just watering as necessary, I really really feel that this process is a learning curve for me lol, mainly because I've learned from the past that everything comes with progress trial and error, so I'm learning which I accept so its okay its okay haha but things are progressing and ill stay up to date with this for you guys thanks!!!!

Since this was a first grow, I treated mostly as a learning experience. I had one other plant of the same strain two weeks behind this one. I was happy with the bud structure, nice and dense and they trimmed up nice. I never did get any plant aromas while it was growing. I'm posting this after I've dried and cured both plants. I didn't dry this one properly and the hay smell ended up pretty strong during dry and didn't go away enough during cure. So end result was pretty nugs that smelled a bit of hay and wasn't potent at all. My fault, I don't blame the genetics. I realize now I was underwatering and that better equipment equals better results.
