Howdy folks. Been reading loads on here these past few weeks and have tried to put some of it into practice with this wee lady.....
Day 1 - a mate gave me a rooted cutting which he described as "strawberries and cream" so I put it under a 600W HPS with Ionic Hydro Grow and one of their grow supplements in a 20L NFT tank:
Day 7 of veg - I noticed the leaf edge curling, did some reading, though it might be a bit heat stress so got a thermometer in there and started monitoring temps.
Day 14 of veg - Temp had been getting up to near 30 so I made a big hole in the grow room above the light to let hot air rise out and added more vents lower down. Didn't seem to do much for the leave curling but I was happier with light on temps of about 25 and lights off around 20 and she seemed to be doing well so I stopped worrying about it.
Day 21 of veg - topped and a few other cuttings taken from lower down by this point. Cuttings placed in a cupboard in a make-shift propagator in rockwool cubes and under a 125w CFL.
Day 28 (of 30) of veg - more cuttings taken and placed in a shop bought propagator under the CFL. Some screen construction work starting to be thought about too.
Day 5 of bud - 600w HPS now on 12/12 as I was worried it'll get too tall if it stretches a lot. Screen constructed and starting to think about training (nobody tell the Mrs a DIY project got finished in under a year!) .Clones still not doing a lot.
Day 9 of bud - been gradually spreading bud sites around the screen hoping to end up with what I hope will be the best colas under the best light. Screen seem to filling up nicely but probably not as neat as it could be if I had started training sooner.
That's as far as I've got so far.....look forward to your comments and advice.
Still not sure what strain it is though.....my guess is strawberry kush but have a while to wait until I can find out if it does indeed taste of strawberries. Any other ideas for what it could be?
