Strawberry Trop Cherry - STRNG Seeds W9 01/04-10 These strawberry collection gals are growing steady during this early stretch. I gave water only last week to contain the stretch. I also turned the lights down to 80%. Other than Cadillac1 all the plants look the same so I tied ribbons to the pots as identifiers for pictures. Kitties lost interest in my leaves, now is play with the pipe cleaners. I’ll have to tighten them up as I found one on the grow room floor. Strawberry Cadillac -Purple Straw-Trop Cherry-Red Straw-Lectric Lemonade-Yellow. 01/05 Supercrop Last week I indicated I might supercrop Cadillac1 since she is so tall. Well, you will see pics during the process of bending the stem and taping the position. I pinched the stem in my fingertips and rolled it a bit, then bent the stem, (notice the outer casing is not broken) applied tape to the joint to keep the branch from completely bending over. Each side had at least 3 nodes. 1/06 the side nodes on the branches have turned up and made more tops. All gals show the beginning of white hairs identifying they are female. 1/9 Strawberry Cadillac #1 46” #2 37“ Strawberry Trop Cherry #1 24” #2 41” Straw-Lectric Lemonade #1 33” #2 35 Important dates 11/9 Germination 11/25 Transplant to 1.5 gal, 12/1 Topped, Pinned and removed 2 large center leaves 12/5 Repositioned pins and removed lowest fan leaves 12/16 Topped 4 tops on each plant except Cadillac1 (first topping) and put manuka honey on the cut. 12/24 Transplant to 5 gal 12/27 Defoliate all 12/28 Flip to 12/12 01/05 Supercrop Cadillac #1 at the joint where I topped her.

Happy Easter. According to my calculations, the final week is beginning. Or the second to last. Let's see. I defoliate everything that has turned yellow. I think I read once that shortly before the end it is normal for the plants to draw all their nutrients from the leaves. So everything looks good, I think. Oh yes, I put my fan on the ceiling “McGyver-style”. Functions. Have fun looking for eggs.

Looking phat and healthy and taking a nice shape another 2 weeks of veg and I’ll start the LST

Apple Strudel Auto – Week 5 of Flower 🍏🌸 Okay, she took her time, but now it’s really starting! 🕰️💥 The buds are finally forming and she’s already standing tall at around 95 cm 📏🌿 No trichomes yet, but structure and growth are looking 🔥 She’s the biggest one in the garden and seems full of potential 🍎🌞 Can’t wait to see how frosty she’ll get in the next few weeks! ❄️👀 Apple Strudel Auto – Blütewoche 5 🍏🌸 Okay, sie hat sich Zeit gelassen, aber jetzt geht’s richtig los! 🕰️💥 Die Buds bilden sich endlich und sie steht schon bei etwa 95 cm 📏🌿 Trichome sind noch keine da, aber Wuchs und Struktur sehen top aus 🔥 Sie ist aktuell die größte im Garten und scheint ordentlich Potenzial zu haben 🍎🌞 Bin gespannt, wie frostig sie in den nächsten Wochen wird! ❄️👀

Gettin trichomes already

No rain from April, it rains the day before the harvest........WTF Perfectly ripened, this half of a plant will become among the prettiest buds ever grown. See U in few days for harvest. Spoiler: great smoke!

Dec 28 - Both plants are close to harvest. Had 5.5. hours of darkness after 24 hr period to prevent budrot developing. Also moved plants inside tent moreso, and closer to fans. Dec 28 - Watered healthy plant today at 2PM - I'll chop unhealthy plant tomorrow, so didn't water, instead inspected trichomes. Dec 28 - Unhealthy Plant is showing amber trichomes, but also clear - Unsure if I should chop tomorrow or not. Dec 29 - DAY 73 - CHOPPED - Trimmed larger fan leaves (accidentally trimmed a sugar leaf or two) and harvested to dry whole, upside down. I'm hoping for a half ounce per plant. Dec 19 - 11.50PM Trichome Calyx' were observed, there are new calyx' appearing. Calyx' are swelling. Dec 30 - Plant developing more senescence and calyx are swelling. Dec 30 - Trichomes are still clear, but I'm seeing some PM develop so I think I'll chop tomorrow morning. Dec 31 - Nice Senescence occurring, Happy to have left it this last day. Accidentally left temps up to 78F for a half hour. Dec 31 - Decided to push another week as per feedback from GD member. When watering I noticed she was perky after 3 days w. no water. Interesting and likely the frequency I'll continue watering at. Dec 31 - Watered at 9PM. Jan 1 - Removed small fan leaf with signs of PM at the base. This defoliation should help with airflow. Checked newly formed calyx' and they're clear enough not to document. Jan 2 - Buds are developing nicely, calyxes are noticably swelling nicely too. I see some green pistils appearing in the lowest buds. Clear Trichomes. Jan 3 - Watered at 8AM. Woke up to 90F temp. Unfortunately they'd been cooking for about an hour. Jan 3 - DRYING UPDATE - I'm seeing fluctuations in the drying room between RH 49% and 70%. As of 3.10PM @ 61RH after adding jars of water. I want to maintain this RH. Jan 3 - Senesence looking good, calyx' are continuing to swell. Will inspect trichomes tomorrow at latest.

PPM solution: 450

10/16: A lot of stretching happening this week. I had to move the light up 3 times and even then the main cola of #1 grew into the light and got a little heat burn on the leaves. They are starting to build flowers. This will be a fun week as i should start seeing some purple in the flowers and leaves if I have one of the phenos that has the really deep purple. I did successfully clone all 4 plants, but ended ip with a powdery mildew issue in the propagator and so i may just throw the clones out as all of their rock wool cubes have some on it and i am not sure how to clear it up before putting them in soil. Will probably post a question about that. These ladies had a defoliation a week ago and clearly already need another. I over vegged for sure. I am not sure i am going to defoliate this week, and will probably just let them grow unbothered. Im hoping yo only have to defol one more time and so hoping to wait until they have finished their transition.

Started the girls with some LST to see how they all coped and they bounced back well.

Both are clearly in mid flowering. Starting to grow fast; every 24 hours I can see a difference in the bud size in both plants. I turned the light up to 100% now that it's using as much energy as it can.. I'll be checking for light burns daily.. so far so good. Both are very thirsty as well at this point.. went from feeding every 5-6 days to every 2 days tops. Doing a nute/nute/water feed.. these pics are day 2 of week 5 so taking more pics in a few more days Update: at 100% light burn started to occur. Caught it early tho. Put the light back to 80% and just brought a couple inches closer.

3 bpp been in dark period for 3 days last week to try and push out bit more resin and thc , heard it can slightly increase both by stressing the plant of light in final stage before chop. So she is all Flushed, chopped and drying this week 👌😎🔥🔥🔥 Finally 2 more on Overdrive 2ml pl and next onto the flushing. Had to tie 1 plant to the tent because of the weight of colas. The plant literally looked like it was on drugs doing a full curve lol and about to snap! Will be flushing this week Other big bpp in 7 gallon is still going mad! Hench nuggies and smells amazing! 🙌 Waiting now for the leaves to turn yellow and then we're into flushing stage ....for a second time. Update 29/01/25 Drying tent has been at around 65-68 humidity and 20degrees I've taken most big leaves of now and left buds covered abit with small leaves for abit of protection and slow the drying down abit. Aiming for 7-10 days slow as possible for best results and retain the weight! So tempted to try one now but it Will ruin it Not long now 💨💨💨

😎Happy day to all, my brothers!😎 We have reached the end of a wonderful journey...that of MY FIRST HYDROPONIC GROWING!!! I have obtained fantastic results from everything that accompanied me on this wonderful journey! starting from the bucket and the pump to finish with a wonderful AUTOFLOWERING genetics, each single component has played a fundamental role in the game, managing to give me extraordinary results....(let's hope it wasn't beginner's luck : )😁😁😁 on this special day, I send a greeting to all the people who unfortunately are no longer among us, but always live in our hearts!😇 LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKED THE DIARY IN THE COMMENTS

All 3 females now in the full flower phase of there life cycle and are starting to stretch out nicely. 🌼🌼🌼 Using sticks randomly to help open up the canopy’s a bit to get some light down the lower areas of the plants. Some defoliation of a few leafs here and there. ✌️

With great joy I will start my second season growing cannabis. I hope to learn from some small mistakes from the first season where I was surprised by my performance as a first-time sailor cultivating the BlueDream strain. This season I left the 4 seeds of GorillaGlue 36hrs in a pot of water to break the dormancy. After that I used the napkin technique for more 42 hrs. So I put each one in a 5-gallon airpot, as they are automatic and go to harvest in the same pot. After 24hrs in the vase the first 2 little leaves came out. I made a homemade dome with a 2-gallon water bottle, cutting it into strips and lining it with plastic with some holes to keep the humidity high during this initial phase. We entered the first week of cultivation and unfortunately due to an oversight I got confused in the fertilizer table and clearly the dreaded overfert happened. I did a watering only with water to try to remove the excess fertilizer let's hope it works.

11-Nov: Topped up the soil with 15ml of Gaia Green All Purpose 4 4 4. 13-Nov: Trimmed leaves that weren't getting any light

Ztrawberriez is doing great, beside the fact for the first time ever I tripped while moving her and she spilled out. Needless to say there were bad words said. So anyway stuffed it back in. Plant looks OK, but dunno if roots got damaged. So I did some lst on her. She was definitely ready. Looking good and hopefully tomorrow as well. 🤞🏻 Thank you Fast Buds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g If anyone needs to purchase fastbuds here is a link for my affiliate program https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=60910eaff2419
