another deep strawberry diesel grow

[otis33]

I popped these a couple months ago, not really sure exactly. They are now between two and two and a half feet. I'm going to veg another week or so before I flower them. They are in ppks, fed h&g, and will be flowered around a 1000wt bare bulb.

Oh ya, I had 10 of 10 germinate and got 5 females. They are slow veggers and I think I read they don't stretch much, so I kind of need them to get big

tomorrow will be the first day of 12/12. They are all at least 3 ft tall. I'm counting on them not stretching much. I will try to update every couple of Weeks.

I didn't realize it's been almost three Weeks since I started this thread. Well, they stretched much more than I thought they would. I had just enough room, the tallest is just kissing the ceiling. The ppks are running smoothly, everything is chugging along. So, here are pics, I think we are at about day 20ish. According to Ganesh these go 60-65.

I'll post up some pics tonight, yes they are fattening up a little and I'm getting some sweet smells from a few of them. I think Ganesh took his at ~ 63ish so I'm thinking I'm about half way home. I just put all the clones I took from them into beer cups. I have at least 2 from each one so I will have a nice mother when I decide which one is the star of the bunch. Look for an update in an hour or two. Thanks for dropping in.

Here are some pics. I'm thinking day 33. I had a Ph issue for a minute, my pen was a point and a half off so I was feeding at about ph4.3 for a week or two. The ppk did its thing and the plants shrugged it off. They look totally unaffected. I've yet to install the bulk reservoir so I've been filling the control res with 1.2 solution and it had occasionally climbed to 2.0. I sometimes add straight water from the dehuey to bring it back in line. These seem to be pretty light feeders because a couple have the slightest tip burn from the elevated ec. They are starting to bulk up and I'm starting to get some sweet smells from all but one that is bland. I'm hoping one will give me a true strawberry scent and taste.
