Strawberry Gum #1 and #2 (Advanced Seeds) grow in 2x2

Cappuchino · Mar 5, 2021

I had got as a bonus one Auto Strawberry Gum seed a while ago. I did liked the plant and decided to by photo dependent variaty for a grow. So seed went in to soil on 4th of Mach and popped out this morning.

Grow setup
My grow closet: https://rollitup.org/t/led-qline-passive-glow.1024719/
1xMigro 100 (COB LED 109W) with driver
8x15W Qlines (32 Samsung lm301b diodes + Osram SSL 660 nm diode) rated on 600mA 25V each + 1xMeanWell ELG-150-C700 driver.

I reuse soil (Plagron RoyalMix) from my last grow with added compost soil from hydroshop in 20L fabric pots.
I use Funky Fungi (in my experience mycorrhiza is essential if you use organic nutriens), Organic Grow, Organic Bloom and Organic PK Booster from BAC. As well I will use Root Stimulator and Bloom Stimulator.

Which one pops first will be #1.

So on March 8th both of plants had broke soil. That will be day 1.

One week old seedlings. They got first feed today with Sensi CalMag (4-0-0). I will look how they react and maybe will start apply Grow nutrients in regular basis.

Two weeks old seedlings. This week they got first feed of Grow and Sensi CalMag. I, probably, should started Grow nutrients a bit earlier then I did. There is definite sings of Nitrogen deficiency on #1 and beginning of deficiency on #2. Now plants will have Grow feed every watering.
I want to set up Tropf-Blumat system for dip irrigation. Any advises on that are much appreciated.

3 weeks old plants. Plants still struggle from Nitrogen deficiency (or is it something else?).
Yesterday, 2 hours prior lights went ON I sprayed #1 with 1L of 2ml/L of apple FFJ and #2 with 1L mix of 2ml/L of Organic Grow, 2 ml/L of Sensi CalMag+ and 0.2ml/L of Root Stimulator.
Both plants have perked after treatment, but #2 looks much better due to bigger amount of nitrogen in the mix. I will feed them with more Grow nutrient next time.

in my view stop feeding - I think its to much , I have 9 of these under led in 1 room and only feed them 600 ppm @ 5.8-6.3 PH max , I do grow in coco coir-I think its better for autos, but those look over feed and watered

Yellowing and dry leaf tips had occurred before I started any feed.

Homie I don't even give fertilizer to seedlings until week 3 or so. What the fuck is going on with your soil?

It should contain worm castings as fertilizer, but I think there is just different kinds of peat in it. Basically it is soilless mix.
I will back off on nutrients for a week and will feed my plants with PHed water only. I don't think I am over watering by giving my plants 1L of water in 20L pots every 3 to 4 days. I wait until mix will be dry at least one inch deep.
Thanks for input.

Start in smaller containers homie. You're crippling your growth rate by starting seedlings in such large containers. Up-pot when needed.

I got used to grow autos. All my photodependent grows went shitty. I had started in smaller pots before, results was bad.

4 weeks old plants. They are slowly growing. I am not used to grow photos and can't evaluate are they growing fine or are stunned.
During last week they got one light feeding and portion of CalMag+. I will keep eyes on them and see how it goes.
After this grow, I will, probably, get back and stick to autos.

Cappuchino · Apr 12, 2021

5 weeks (one month) old plants. #1 still struggle through nitrogen deficiency and heat stress. #2 is doing better than #1.
Plants get Grow nutrient and CalMag+ once a week. Hopefully they will survive and perk out.
If plants will feel themselves good, maybe I will do some training on them.

how much are you feeding ? PH ? and what is your water?

It's tap water. I feed as recommended on the bottle (2 ml/L).
PH from the tap is around 8.0, with nutrients PH drops to 6.2-6.5. PPM from the tap is 250-300, with nutrients I haven't check.
Temps inside the closet are 20-22C (68-71F) at "night" and 28-30C (82-86F) during the "day"

no youre a towel
wooo man i dont even know whats goin on here

Strawberry Gum Autos- 7-8 week strain , about to harvest this week 8 weeks ready - you have alot of growing to do in 2-3 weeks dude, been growing this strain for 3 years its never gone over 7.5-8 weeks, odd plant has taken 10 weeks not very often- when it does they produce alot of hard stick buds.
You really need to sort that water/nutrients far to much, max 600 ppm PH 5.8-6.3 ,switch to coco coir for autos alot less hassle dude, do you have Chlorine in your tap water? if so let it sit in a bucket for 28 hours which should make the Chlorine inert, Chlorine and dak dont mix- it will kill microbs and sterilize the soil after a while- just my view ,

I checked with growweedeasy.com guide to plant problems and closest I could find is a heat/light stress plus nitrogen deficiency.

It is not auto, it is photoperiod dependent variate. I grow autos in general, just want to learn how to deal with photos.

yep- crawl back in to the cave head hanging low - misread the op sorry

Don't worry. I myself like autos. Probably, because I got used to there life cycle, I am straggling with photos.
Thanks for the inputs anyway!
