ReikoX's got the Strawberry Blues

[ReikoX]

Nice, it looks like it's an active intake? Or is just circulating the air? Can't wait to see that screen full.

It is just circulation, the passive intakes are on either side. You can barely make out the white intake cover to the right of the fan in my last picture. I really need to make a shelf and move it higher, but it worked OK there with the exhaust above last time.

Here are the girls they have been in the cabinet for 44 days or so. They sure took some time to get going, but now I they are growing a bit faster.

Left clone.

Right clone.

The whole screen, I would guess it is about 1/3 full now. I don't think I'm going to get much stretch from her, so I'll fill the screen at least 2/3 before the flip.

 

[ReikoX]

Strawberry Blue at 52 days of veg. They are almost where I want them to be. I hope to flip to 12/12 within the next week or so. They got fed:
10 ml/gal Bio Vega
8 ml/gal Rhizotonic
5 ml/gal SM-90
pH 6.2, 400 ppm

 

[ReikoX]

Today is the day I flip these girls to 12/12. They had a total of 57 days of veg time! I cleaned up under the screen. I still need to clear out more, but I didn't want to take too much at once.


I lowered the lights to 12" from 18". They got a foliar spray of 5 ml/gal CalPhos and fed tap water corrected to pH 6.2 at 200 ppm.

Thanks guys, hope your holidays are as merry as mine.


Here are the girls after just over three weeks of 12/12. I took a bunch of suckers and big fans from under the screen. In a few days I will thin out the canopy to give better light to the bud sites. They are now being fed:
10 ml/gal Bio Flores
2 ml/gal Rhyzotonic
8 ml/gal Bio Boost
5 ml/gal SM-90

 

[ReikoX]

33 days flowering and things are fattening up. I took a bunch of fan leaves to open up the canopy some. Unless this girl produces a gram per watt, this is her last run and I will likely just flower out the mom. She is very slow and I could have had another fling with Juanita by now!

Beautiful plants. The pics themselves are a stand alone scrog tutorial. I'm in.

 

[ReikoX]

Six weeks and starting to fatten up. If the keep up the pace, it may be worth the slow veg. I got a couple of grams from a buddies grow, The buds weren't that tasty at first, but dried out and it helped a bit. I blame the boveda packs. The rosin I pressed out was quite good and you can actually taste the berry.

Looks real good, Reiko!

looks like your rocken and rollen with this grow.

if that is indeed my "strawberryBlues" that i bred back in 2005 you will get super pungent berry smelling nuggets covered in frost.. its got great smell, bag appeal and is a great medicine. i only gave this cross to one person in denver and he kept it an spread it by the hundreds to patients and dispensaries when he was a clone vendor looking good

Thanks guys, this grow has been pretty easy, if a bit slow. I think they will come out nicely.

Thanks for the effort in breeding this cultivar. So far my only complaint to has been the slow growth during veg.She looks like she is going to yield well. I will be pleased to get 1.5-2 oz. out of each plant. I'm just about to quit feeding and start giving her RO water. She looks like she will be ready at nine weeks. Does that sound right?

I got a few grams from a buddy and pressed the rosin out. The berry flavor jumps out as a concentrate much more than the buds.

thats 270 for both?

 

[ReikoX]

thats 270 for both?

270 what for both of what?
Grams for both plants, I would be happy with 3-4 oz (84-112 grams) from both plants.

Watts for both lights, 110 watts draw each (measured) so 220 watts for both.

I am shooting for 0.5 gpw on this grow (about 110 grams). If I get 1.0 gpw (about 220 grams), I will do back flips on roller skates!

dont mind me i cant read yes thats what i meant

I demand a video of the roller skate backflips if it does indeed turn out to be 1 gpw.

How many lumens per sq ft are you running, reckon?

I have no clue on the lumens of this light. My cabinet is 2'x3' so it ends up about 36 watts per square foot. These were the first lights I bought. They are good, but over priced. I want to build a new COB light to get closers to 50 watts per share foot and get rid of the hokey blurple color.

wow dude they look like are getting nice and fat.
