Yes, it's not very bad and that's why I didn't care that much until now but the problem is that now it's messing up the fruits, I already had to get rid of one and that sucks. If I had 5 plants maybe I wouldn't care but this is my only one.
are you sure it's not a cannabis plant ? Coz it has green fingered leaves and it's growing flowers with hairs

Thanks for the reply mcpurple
it crossed my mind a nutrient burn but I gave her so little nutes that I wasn't really sure about that.Maybe you can give me some info about it like how often and how much do you fertilize your strawberry plants ? and is it better to use grow or bloom nutes ?
Everything is quite clear for growing mj but with veggies and other plants is way more difficult to find this information.

" Calcium activates enzymes, is a structural component of cell walls, influences water movement in cells and is necessary for cell growth and division. Some plants must have calcium to take up nitrogen and other minerals. Calcium is easily leached. Calcium, once deposited in plant tissue, is immobile (non-translocatable) so there must be a constant supply for growth. Deficiency causes stunting of new growth in stems, flowers and roots. Symptoms range from distorted new growth to black spots on leaves and fruit. Yellow leaf margins may also appear."
I bet it's a calcium def. Add crushed eggs shells for the long run of the soil and some cal/mag for your water if you can get some to add some vigour to these plants and better tasting fruit.

Cant you just use Peters or Osmocote? I would use a balanced fertilizer with all the npk and micronutes. If you start tweeking something your going to unbalance something else.

i feed it left over tea from bat gauno for veg, and about 6 months ago i up canned it cut half of the roots off all around the root ball and then placed in new fresh fertile soil. i think ive only fed my straw berries 2 times in the last 6 months and they were small feeds.Thanks for the reply mcpurple

I was checking couple of pics about calcium def. and it's true that it looks the same, I'll see if I can get some calcium
Thanks for the input danny. I'll probably get some fertilizer with micro-nutrients in the future but the thing is that I won't be able to grow anything for a few months after current grows so I don't really wanna spend any more money on something I won't be able to give much use. It would be a waste.
That's very little feeding for sure, I won't feed again (maybe a bit of calcium) and keep that in mind
+rep for everybody

Wouldnt it be over nute? cuz calcium defieciencys burn from the outsider SIDES of the plant and go toward the vein. burned nute starts at tips. riiiight>?
