Hey, good looking! :)

Hope you don't mind me asking, are you still feeding the Strawberry Cough nitrogen? There are signs of excess N imho, or could be def of P . . . . do you see any pistils yet??

I'm growing SC right now too, she is day 7 into flower, so I'll keep an eye on your grow too, if that's ok.

I'm finding my particular pheno extremely hungry on the P during it's transition, how about you?


Good luck Lil

Ah dude please don't get me wrong, they look great, you are to be seriously congratulated for growing full stop let alone plants as healthy as that.

I do believe, as it's your first grow, (no idea how many I've done, lol) a wee bit of advice is required so you can get more out of your plant;

Can you see the difference in the leaf color in picture 2, the younger leaves are bright green and the older ones are blue / purple ish sort of hue, and purple/red leaf stems . . . . .

Your plant would really love you if you upped the amount of Phosphorous you were giving her :), if you've got P in it's lone form, just water through about 0.4 to 0.5ec with your next watering or add that sort of e.c. to your feed if that's next.

You're doing bloody great, far better than my first grow, back when . . . . . errr dunno, cant remember . . . lol

Seriously???

Errr gotta ask, what size pot is the SC in and what medium are you using??

2.5 gallons a day???? 10 litres there or abouts, do you have any run off?

That's a lot of fluid daily mate, that would be troubling me .. . . .

Yea I use roots organics soil.... they have pre bagged soil, little bigger than a 5 gallon bucket that has lots of holes in the bags so I have lots of run off and I have the bags in trays with drains that I empty

right on, it might be that your run off is containing some precious P for your SC . . . .

They'll be all right . . . . well done aqgain :)

Try watering slowly so you don't get any run off from the side, allow the liquid to pass through the entire medium.

Better yet, wait until it's lite as a feather to pick up and slowly immerse the pot into a bucket of water with a mild balanced solution plus some additional P and a wetting agent, a drip per liter of a mild organic washing detergent works for me, if I've run out of RAW Yucca extract, and feed from the bottom up, let it sit for an hour, then very slowly, lift the pot out, it'll be a hell of a lift, but you can do it!!! Youll have total saturation then. You may have some dry hot spots in your medium.

Don't panic if your leaves all start to curl down, it's a temp lack of oxygen, imo, they'll perk up in a few hours when the puddle in the medium has gone.

Wotcha dude . . . .

What ratios are you using the 2 nutes?
How much of the 1st nute compared to the second nute?
Is the first bottle your only source of Nitrogen for the plant?
I'd be giving the plants about 0.5EC of the second Nute every watering matey, at least for three or four waterings, to see what goes on, bet the green comes back nice and even . . . . :)


I use both of these .... 3 days water then one day nutes and repeat

So I water with 2.5 gallons and I give 5 tbsp of 1st and 2 tbsp of 2nd in the same water and I do this every 4th day .... so 3 days water to one day nutes.... the 1st nute is a bloom nute the 2nd is a bulking agent for flower stage.
