Straw-Lectric Lemonade-STRNG Seed
W10 F1 01/11-17
These strawberry collection gals are taking off like rockets during this early stretch.
Cadillac1 and S. Trop Cherry 2 have grown at least 15 inches this week. I cannot push them to the edge anymore. Pics show them pressed up against the light. What to do? My hubby suggested cutting them off-you should have seen the look I gave him. I decided to do more super cropping of the tallest branches. These girls were 56 and 57 inches from the soil to their tops. As tall as me but an additional 15inches due to the pot. I tried to bend the stem by about 10inches, so the tops are about the same as the other plants in the tent. Fingers crossed they slow down.
Since the dots did not arrive before the transplant, I decided to use TPS1 and start during the first week of flower. That’s now. The mix for early bloom is as follows:
TPS1 14ml/g
Silica Gold 3ml/g
I needed to add 3ml/g of Calmag to raise the pH after accidentally lowering it too much.
1/10 66.5F, 6.22 ph & 1023 ppm
1/14 70.3F, 6.42 ph & 1007 ppm Pics
1/11 !st flower week defoliation and lollipop for all the Strawberry collection.
1/16 More super cropping of Cadillac1 and 1st time Trop Cherry2.
General observations: I usually use Air pots but these can be messy when water squirts out the side holes. I decided to use the 5Gal fabric pots AC Infinity provided when I got the tent. The fabric pots hold moisture longer than the air pots and since I have to water with at least a gallon, the humidity increases to 85%. This is way out of range for early bloom. Also, the ventilation fan increases to 10 which is very loud and only helps a small bit.
I noticed that after defoliation the RH came down to the upper 60%. Not optimal but better.
I should have defoliated in week 3 of veg to reduce the humidity in early flower.
The only time my environment is optimal is when it’s close to the next watering day. Then it goes right back up after watering. It has been very cold here and the tent temperature barely gets above 73f. Increasing the tent temperature would help the VPD. When the plants were touching the lights, I held the lights at 80%. I just increased to 100%.

My first ever grow I’ve learnt from you tube basic knowledge etc but I don’t feel like I need a warm welcome as weed smokers are probably the nicest people you can meet, she’s coming a long so well, no low stress training as my first grow the nutrients definitely work compare to not using them so that’s a massive difference 👊🏻

During this fourth week of vegetation everything is going well. I was able to apply LST without harming the plant. ✔️
I proceed with the second topping to continue the mainlining technique. ✂️🌱
I slightly increased the nutrients. 🔝

Lst went well. She was all in the hips and limboed with ease.
Gave her a top feeding of ecothrive charge for the intense training in the next few weeks.
She bounced back from lst the next day and I topped her for the first time on the 5th node.
It was a bit daunting as this is my first time topping. Looking forward to the next few weeks with all the girls. Seeing them grow into thick lush women.
I am considering scrogging all these girls. It will be my first time doing this so any advice would be really appreciated.
Also I will be super cropping them as I have never done that either. You can’t really do many things with autos, apart from watch them and lst.
Photos are way more forgiving and I think I will be doing this type of growing from now on.

Harvest day 73
since the time
change to 12/12 hrs.
Hey guys :-)
Finally the time has come .
The lady was harvested.
After the trichomes have been checked (70% milky 30% amber) as always, it was left in complete darkness for 48 hours before it was neatly trimmed by hand.
After trimming, she was put back in the drying tent on nets.
There they are allowed to dry for the next 8-12 days at 62% humidity before they are put into the jar to ferment with 62% boveda packs.
After about 4-6 weeks in the jar I will swap the 62% boveda pack for a 58% boveda pack where it can be ready for another 4-6 weeks to enjoy :-).
As always, the remains of the leaves are used to make Ice o Lator and oil.
Of course, as always, there is a final update during the fermentation process.
Until then, I wish you all a lot of fun with this update.
Stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 👍.

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength.
Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell!
Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

8/26 - sporty looking great, praying hard! Posh is working on it. But look who finally showed up to the party! I’m calling her Baby spice. She sprouted 12 days after going in the soil. Way to be a fighter girl!
This is going to be a tricky thing to manage I feel like my gals are tracking a week apart. I’ll keep this journal’s timeline on sporty spice. -1 week for posh and -2 weeks for baby spice. spice girls let’s grooooow!
8/30 - exactly two weeks from sprout for Sporty and Posh. Pretty wild how big a difference there is between the two. Baby is getting her footing. Now.
Sporty already pushing 4-5 nodes and I saw a tiny root through the drain hole. Wanted to pot her up! About 8 cups pro mix, one cup perlite. About 1.5 tbs of Gaia green 4-4-4, some worm castings and sprinkled mycorrhiza around where the rootball would be. God speed girly!
9/3. Potted up Posh today. About a half gallon pro mix, plus about 1.5 tbsp of the Gaia green 4-4-4. Plus about a cup of worm castings, perlite, and mycorrhiza. Sporty is looking very happy, 5 nodes and counting. Added back my second light, let’s go girls!!!
9/5. Wrapping up week 2 here, so far I’ve been really impressed with the pro mix Gaia green and soil support so far. The girls seem happy and healthy. See you in week 3!

I started germination of 1 Strawberry lemonade bean on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plug was just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made hole. Than I sowed my bean into the hole. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the hole in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plug into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination.
Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see a sprout. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plug planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get this lady situated into her home. Cant wait!
Some background information on my experience with Strawberry lemonade. Ive only grown this variety out once. In a 1 gallon SOG grow where she faired ok. I could tell she really wanted to explode and branch out. But a restricted root mass just would not allow for it. She had some of the sweetest tasting flowers that came with a strong potent kick. Really looking forward to giving her a larger container and see what she can do when shes let loose.

This week i only gave them 2 feedings, one only water and one with Enzym+ because last week I gave them lots of nutrients.
I did that because they asked for it and could take it but in the other hand it was really hot so alot of feeding got evaporated
which can result in a salty/old nutes medium.
So with that in mind i let the enzymen do their work(cleaning and re-using nutrients) while making sure that i lower the EC in my pots down again
because right now the weather this week is like 20-23 degrees with alot of rain, because of that, the plants don't drink up/evaporate that fast as they do when its hotter.
Meaning i can't give as much water as they used to, so the EC in the pots will stay higher.
A high EC is not a smart thing to have, plants will get a higher change of shutdowns, can even get diffiencies because of that.
And the last thing a grower wants to have is heavy pots for lots of days LOL.
ps, I should consider making 2 different buckets of feeding because my criticalkushes are still not showing signs of preflowering.
To be honnest i'm not completely happy about the critical kush strain because the breeder promised a 100% Indica strain, which in my opinion is not.
It is just another hybrid and a really slow one.
pss, I will lower my EC in the comming weeks because I want my buds to get bigger and in later stages I will raise my EC again to make them compact,smelly,tasty,frosty,
With high EC, you get compact,smelly,frosty,tasty but small buds, with low ec you get big but fluffy ones and not that frosty.
This doesn't count for Autoflowers since they need way less ec...
I did this many times with inside grows, we will see how it goes outside with these two strains.

Die Booberry Cookies RBX strotzt in der sechsten Vegetationswoche nur so vor Vitalität und hat den einstigen Urlaubs-Schock vollständig hinter sich gelassen. Zu Beginn der Woche präsentierte sich die Pflanze bereits mit einer beachtlichen Blattmasse und ausgeprägten Seitentrieben, die durch das vorangegangene Training kraftvoll emporgeschossen sind. Der Stamm hat deutlich an Dicke zugenommen, und die Nährstoffaufnahme über das Advanced Nutrients Schema läuft weiterhin absolut reibungslos. Zur Mitte der Woche wurde die Schere erneut gezielt angesetzt: Das zweite Topping stand auf dem Programm. Durch das Kappen der neuen Haupttriebe wird die hormonelle Dominanz weiter aufgebrochen, um die Energie der Pflanze noch gleichmäßiger in die Breite zu verteilen. Die Struktur im 3-Liter-Stofftopf baut sich dadurch extrem buschig und homogen auf. Die Internodien bleiben kompakt, während die Verzweigung perfekt für die spätere produktive Fläche vorbereitet wird. Die Genetik reagiert hervorragend auf diese High-Stress-Maßnahme und zeigt keinerlei Ermüdungserscheinungen.

Just growing through the net now, slight defoliation only when needed, cleaned out some low hanging leaves underneath and a few hopeless bud sites under the canopy. I feel like I could probably defoliate a bit more but not gonna push my first plant, just doing as much tucking as I can to help out. Its adding an inch plus everyday of height now and I am not sure how tall she is going to stretch, Im running out of room above the lights so from here on nearly every inch of stretch will be closing that gap. 18” now will be keeping a close eye and hopefully will not have to dim my lights. Currently running 200w @ 100% veg tuned.

FBT5 in Mr. B's has been no trouble at all so far, still moist in there so i've not watered on day 5, spraying the soil with amino, did one foliar this week on day 5. Probably will fix the fan over the weekend so it's pointing straight up. FBT5 is an interesting one, vigorous in many ways, it seems to be working hard below grownd . anyway I'll try to get an in soil pH reading on the Mr. B's asap. but it will mostly be secondary nutrients and co2 from now on.
