    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    54 Days Old (Day 2 of flowering 12/12) Some new pics today. They both looking real good. I had another look at the preflowers (and took some pics). I was able to take pictures through my 30x magnifier, which has an LED light (pretty nice for ~$7 or so from ebay). I think i found a hair! What...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    I got a 30x magnifying glass today and took a look at the preflowers. It doesn't look good....i think both plants are males?! I'm going to start flowering today (Day 52) to make sure. There's tiny green "leaves" cupping a white ball. It's definitely not a single cone shaped growth. Same...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    thanks raiderman. I'll have to pay closer attention to the water content. I watered one plant Monday night this week and it was very dry...my gauge read 0.2 to 0.5...but the plant looked fine and still does right now. The only thing that i'm worried about when using the moisture meter is...

    Day 48. Some more pics. They're looking good. I'm still not sure of their sex. The preflowers look the same on both plants. I added 2tbl of FF big bloom per gallon on the last watering. I'm thinking about starting flowering sometime this week. I got my moisture meter...now I don't to...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    They're looking fine today. I think they like their new homes. Day 41 today. I can see some preflowers, but can't tell their sex yet. The preflowers on the secondardy nodes (what look like preflowers) look female. Do preflowers even occur on secondary nodes? I can't see any pistillates yet...

    Yeah, I need to get one of those. I've been using the finger technique.....but it hasn't worked all that well (haven't had much practice either). I'm just going to get this: http://www.cleanairgardening.com/plant-moisture-meter.html

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    Thanks for visiting wow! I didn't know you can get that much yield from flowering from seed. Does bleach also introduce O2 to the roots? I have a few more pics. Today is day 39. This is pretty much the final setup (except for enclosing it hooking up the diy carbon filter for flowering.

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    The one needed water now so i transplanted both today into 3 gal pots. Total volume of soil in the pots is 3.6gal and they're still 2" from being full. I used a little more perlite this time (40% perlite 60%FFOF compared to 30% perlite) to get better drainage. They took a lot of water...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    Day 37 I did a bit of LST'ing today. I noticed at least one alternating node. I plan on transplanting and watering in 3 days. And go to flowering in ~10 days. I still haven't added any nutrients....i'm assuming they won't need any for 2-3 weeks after the upcoming transplant. I found some...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    I got my screen in (made from 2" chicken wire). The distance from the soil to screen is ~10". They were without light for ~1.5hrs....hopefully they didn't mind. I bought 3 gallon pots as their final home....I think 3 gal is a bit big for this setup/grow. Unless anyone thinks i shouldn't...

    Thanks dasa. I got the digital readout one from walmart (~$8 or so). That silver rod (thermal couple) in the back is attached to a temp. controller (got both of these from ebay)....just using it as a second temp. readout though (i don't have any air-conditioner or heating).

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    I've since had some overwatering on the other one now (which was looking very good). All was good until ~4 days after a watering (5/1/10)...it was just a little droopy....and I thought it needed water (the first ~2" of soil was also quite dry). Shortly after i watered it, it went much more...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    I gave the overwatered one a good dose of H2O2 (which I should have done earlier...as soon as I noticed overwatering symptoms) yesterday to help it out (4tsp of 3%h2o2 in 800ml of distilled water). It seems to be doing fine. It's getting bigger.
