Smokey's Strawberries In Coco

[mk2SMOKEY]

@mk2SMOKEY,
I'll tag along to watch them grow. I grow hydro in a cabinet so coco is always an interesting grow to watch and learn.

Hello Hafta,you are very much welcome.

I have had my hand held ALOT the first 2 tries so i'm not 100% just yet lol.
But please feel free to chip in with comments.Good/Bad and ugly haa.
It's all learning to me either way.
Thank you

Hello everybody,hope everyones is good and well.

Day-7:
Temps:25c
humidity:75%-85%
SN is doin ok to me,a little slow but it's always been like this for me.

SNxS is growing ok aswell.

PN is above ground fully now.
She has no helmet on but hasn't opened up her first little round leaves,never seen this on my other attempts.
I'm not to fussed because the solo cup has popped up to say hello,so if all else fails-I will just pull her and then i will transplant the solo cup PN into a new 8L fab pot with Coco and perlite.

Only SN and SNxS has had a small feed of around 300ml each.
1L water,
0.5ml CalMag
0.5ml each GrowA+B,
0.5ml Voodoo juice,
PH 5.8
No runoff yet.


This is all i can find on SNxS:

ILLUMINAUTO #50 - STRAWBBA THE HUTT​

Genetic Heritage:Strawberry Nuggets x Skywalker
Seed Type:F1 Feminised Automatic
Indica/Sativa:75/25
Cycle Time:TBA


All Illuminauto strains are untested, aside from our usual germination and general quality control tests. These seeds are listed more cheaply than our usual catalogue items, as we use these lines as a testbed to find the best fire to add into our catalogue for longer-term use.


Thanks for popping in.

Hello,everyone,all ok i hope.

Day8:
The tribe is doin ok.slowly growing into hopefuly monsters haha.

Only SN and SNxS has had a feed of around 200ml-300ml each:
1L water
0.5ml CalMag
0.5ml each GrowA+B
0.5ml B52
PH5.9
22.2c
630ppm.

I'm waiting to see PN First serated leaves before she gets some feed.

Nothing much more for me to say another than here they are and i dont know were the pic for SNxS has gone,sorry.

Thanks again

 

[mk2SMOKEY]

Hello again everyone,

Jumping to day11 now but i have no pic's of the girl's,sorry.

I was feeding today (Day11) and something just made my eyes look straight at it as i lifted a leaf up on SNxS up to start feed.
Not 100% what kind of creature it is,i'm guessing it's either-apphid,fungas gnat or a springtale.i personaly think its a springtale but i dont realy know.

I brought some H202 @3%,made a mix of 4L water and 10ml H202 and drenched the pot.Time will tell if they get more or hopefuly die.I realy hope its spring tales out of any of them as from what i read is that they feed on dead matter so i'm guessing they are eating the bits of coco that i didn't let dry properly before i potted up woth the mix.This is just my guess as i have never had any bugs before only a little bit of mold before.


Day12:
Gave all the girls a little feed of around 300ml each constisting of:
1L water
0.5CalMag
0.5ml each GrowA+B
0.5ml B52
PH5.8
22.3c

Checked on PN pot and there he was again,not sure if it the same one but i done a little bit of digging at the side of pot and couldn't see anymore.
Going to hit him again with some more H202 but at 20ml into 4L water,double the strength of last time.

Thank you for taking a look

 

[mk2SMOKEY]

Hello everybody,hope you are all good.

Jumping again to Day18,Work has moved premises so i haven't beed able to feed everyday because of this,some realy late days at work.

Temps:26c
Humidity:70%-75%

Starting to smell planty/earthy now.

Feed has been:
4L water
2ml CalMag
4ml each GrowA+B
2ml B52
PH5.8
They recieve around 700ml of this with a small amount of runoff.Not tested runoff.

SN grew a wierd fan leaf at the early stages but has not grew any more,it's just the one leaf.
She is a realy bushy squat girl.

SNxS is coming along nicely.

PN,there is something going on in that pot?there are little white bits on top of the Coco that keeps getting more each day,i also seen some more of them little buggers in her pot.
Only she has these in her pot,strange.

I just feed now and then H202 her every 4th feed,if and when i can.
feed,feed,feed,H202,feed,feed,feed,H202
Hopefuly this will slow them down but i'm not 100%.
There is nothing flying around at all so this makes me believe they are not gnats.

Seems like this attempt is going to make me learn about bugs/critters haha.

Thanks for stopping bye and taking a look.Here they are.

Good afternoon my friend.
Girls look healthy.
Do you have perile in your coco?
As you water small particles wash out exposing perlite on top.
Possibly?
I noticed your pans are dry.
If you don't water to the bottom of the pot the roots won't chase it.
You need to get a little run off.

Stay safe
Bill

Hello Bill,hope you're well.


Yes perlite inside all of them except the solo cup.

As for the particles being washed out,it's only on the PN that has loads of white bits.

At the moment i was letting her dry out a bit (even thow i know i shouldn't)just to try and kill or disturb them critters as they like moist conditions i think.
Plus i did sprinkle a little more Coco over them all.

I'm getting small amount of runoff them all the last time i feed them

Thanks for your input Bill.Realy apreciate it.

Keep hitting them with h202 and water.
Should get rid of them and a good fan.

Stay safe

Hello HazMat,
not a bad weekend,thanks.
She is indeed growing rather quickly,compared to her sisters.

 

[mk2SMOKEY]

Hello everybody,hope you are well and good.

Day25

They are all picking up the pace now and growing strong.
I have started a little Lst on SN and SNxS.

Light is at 80% intense,not raised height.

Feed has been:
4.5L water
4.5ml CalMag
4.5ml each GrowA+B
2.3ml B52
PH5.8
They recieved just under 1.5L with all having RunOff.
The remainder was given to the solo,she had RunOff aswell.

Thank you and here they are,sorry about the bad picture.

Jumping forward to Day29:

They have all had feed everyday including today.I haven't gave them H202 for several days now,i know i should still give it to them and will start.

It doesn't look like much but i have been keeping on top of the Lst,around 1 week from now and i will see the work i have been doing.

The bugs are in the SNxS Coco now aswell.
I think they are springtales.
Not the worse thing to have from what i have looked up but its a critter nether the less.
Anyway,enough of me rambling on and here they are,thank you

Day 29 SN I see a twisted half missing blade on a lower leaf.
Was that a ph issue or something early on?
Or did something eat half that blade?

Stay safe
