Dust 6,321 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 hi man! thanks for sharing your little lady i hope we will be able to help you a little on here Because for sure for 7 week of growth it is too small, even for a "small" CFL grow. I see that on all your picture the medium seems to be really wet, and seeing how she seems to have trouble developing her roots, it is possible that you overatered her, at this size you should not have all this water under your cupboard if it comes from only 1 watering. How much do you water ? and how often and what temps in the room? Good luck man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrystraw 37 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 it is a 7th week grow starting from the day I put the seed in a cup (I am not sure how to count)- I watered everyday, about 10/20 dl- now only two days watering every three- 19 to 30 degrees but, please note:light off between 2,30 am to 8,30 amlow degree (20°) between 10 am to 6 pm(but at the base of the pot it never go over 25°)if I close the heaten toghether with the light, temperature will go between 14 to 18so I cannot do better.bigger leaf came when I added Phosporous, so maybe I should add same more,watering too much I washed soil and now I am adding all sort of things.the main light is a 6500 k, the other two are 2700 kthanks for helping, dust (I can still start with a new seed...I new I could make a mess and I havetwo spare) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrystraw 37 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 here a couple of better picswhat seemed to be preflowerslooks like leaves, up to now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust 6,321 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 yes watering everyday is too much for sure, for the first weeks it's ok, but then you have to separate more the waterings so i hope she will like the spacing. and for the new leaves yes it's leaves not preflowers and if they keep growing it's good sign Have a good grow man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrystraw 37 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 thanks a lot dust"dope will put through time of real panic better then panicwill put through time of good dope" paraphrasing freak brothers. I just bought two 65w for 6400k cfl, I hope it will be enough for one plant but I still have problem of low humidity I keep moisturizing the leafsor cover it with plastic without wetting the soiland I still have to decide what to do with light during flowering timeI hope I can use at least one small 6500k light + the 2700 ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrystraw 37 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 today it looks betterso I dare to eliminate the plastic coverwithout continuously spraying the plant. I also lowered the pot so it is between 23 to 27 degreesecond day of no water at all feel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust 6,321 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 do you still see her growing now with less water?for sure if she bounce back, she will take some time before going backk to normal growth, the best would be to see if the roots are growing better now or no. Have a good grow man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrystraw 37 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think she stopped growing when I changed the lights, dustin the meantime I decide to change the pot, so she can adapt tothe whole new situation all together, and now she is in a hugepot with the two 65 watts cfl on her sides, quite near(12 cm from each light to the plant and 25 between them). I found a shop to buy proper gear, but is quite complicate so I decide to go on for the whole month and if she does notgrow I will start all over again.I thing I can afford a flowering proper light, at least... she had nearly no roots at all...I want to learn at all cost so I will keep tryingbut I wish I did understood I needed a minimum of125 watt real. I got confused with the equivalence withold bulb, you knowlet's see if I can add a pic (do not lough :-)I see leaf are curling down, so I add same extra eggshelland the lower leafs are goingonly the biggers one looks healty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrystraw 37 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I have a few red worms alive would you add them?they should help to air out the soil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust 6,321 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 maybe they would help for the soil but maybe they would eat your few roots also? i'm not aware of what red worms eat exactly in the soil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrystraw 37 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 "Red worms eat the bacteria that breaks the organic material down." they should not eat roots, unless they are rottenI had same worm for a try, in september, and I saw they eat all the rotten part of a salad leaf and leave the green healthy partthere are several in my aloe plant and she is growing drammatically for the moment my little sweety is not changing at allI am traying to stop smoking tobacco, so I will have more money for a decent setof lightsthe nearest shop I found is hosting franco to talk about powder feeding...I suppose this means that it is a good shop :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrystraw 37 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 I must say that it start growing when I added the two 2700 kelvin (23 watts) the picture is in my first post abovein the beguinning I put one light and she turned her head toward the 2700 kelvin, instead of the top white one, the day after I added a second 2700 and she turned right, and kept growingthen I bought the two 65w white light and she stopped growingmaybe she miss the 2700 kevin, wich should be for flowering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berrystraw 37 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 the first plant above died this winter, I cooked hernow I start again, still waiting to find a good book, I do as I can :-) - in soil- pot is about 15 litres- temp 24 to 27 day22 night (my night is from 10 am to 6 pm)- humidity around 65% (75 during the night) - in the soil there is a bit of natural feeding, a few wormsand I use green house power feeding hybrids (all in one)- rhe last few days I watered her every two days,now I am going on every three days or more( I was afraid it burns) I spray the top sometime with water.I use once water and the other chemical feeding,I use the maximum quantity for the first timeI added same egg shell for the calcium, just in case- I do not know what is EC and I do not know ph - HPS growing light 250 watts- distance 62 cm.- 15/20 square metres room- big fan i use it only when I do not water it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlin2d 73 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 on the edges of the leaves curl lacked micronutrients. they simply can not be absorbed because the PH in the land decreases. necessary trying PH output. I think so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlin2d 73 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 very important to know 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlin2d 73 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 when you spray water on the leaves, be careful. drops of water may work as a magnifying glass under the lamp and burn the leaves. All spraying use the stimulants do at night. calcium, anti-stress and growth stimulant is given on the leaves.

Dust 6,321 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 thanks for the pics man! So this is still the WSS going on? a new one but same strain? Looking better than the first for sure! but like its been pointed out, you should think about buying a PH meter it is one of the only necessary tool when you grow It can be done without, but once you have experience and know the plant you are growing very good Have a good grow man keep them growing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dust 6,321 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I dont think they have made a Strawberry badge like this already, and when they send gifts like this it can be any of the one they have in stock, sometime White widow, or arjan haze, bigbang, the doctor, it depends Have a good grow with the strawberry an amazing strain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
