Growing strawberry cough, how’s she looking? (New grower)

[KingD2]

how’s she looking? I planted her on 07/10/2024, I give her 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness, I’m using a 5in pot and currently using a grow light from Walmart, I know it’s not the strongest but it looks like it’s getting the job done. When she starts to get into the flower stage I’m going to put her outside. Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated. This is my second grow my first one died due to overwatering. Now I’m only watering when the pot feels light and dry.

she is there that's most important
you will need support for seedling right about now
and those lights will not do for long
any other in store for later vegging?
If you want to flower outside you need to harden off the plant first otherwise you will encounter troubles

No im just growing her, I was growing northern lights, but it was a promo seed from RQS and it didn’t even germ,
How would I harden off the plant? I’m planing on getting a small out door green house to help keep pest away.

Plant have to be put in indirect/direct (in control) sunlight for some time to get use to it. So find a spot and if you want that Strawberry out- sooner you will start- the better. Just be careful- direct sun is deadly for young seedlings. Maybe you have indirect sunny spot somewhere?
But that's for later. Now your aim is to grow at least 4 proper fan leaves. Will take a week

I put my seedlings outside, never have an issue, it depends on your region and how intense the sun is there

 

[KingD2]

I live in nyc and it’s summer right now, today was cloudy but we get a lot of sun

I'm just you know- on the safe side

if there's sun and there's place...

How she looking guys? The leaves are drooping but I watered her early in the morning, I gave her half a water bottle, don’t know if that’s enough? Thinking about buying miracle grow plant food for veg and the miracle grow bloom for flower, but I’m using MG potting mix soil, will that be good nutrients to use since I’m already using MG, this is my second grow and I kinda don’t want to use nutrients cause I don’t want to burn her. Any advice is appreciated

that light is not going to work..
unless you get the equipment needed, that plant is a windowsill house plant..

Im going to be putting her outside when she’s ready to flower

It appears to be stretching a lot due to lack of light. Otherwise it looks healthy.

‘ready to flower’ is she an auto?

If she’s not an auto flower then she’s flowers based on the season. Which is now lol. Unless you wanna try and flower her inside, for that you probably need more lights.

Also I would transplant and bury that stem as deep as you can. She’s leggy from stretching for the light.

No she’s a feminize seed, but what about the leaves? And I see other stems getting ready to grow from the lower branches, will transplanting her, mess it up?

Okay I’m also a new grower but I’ve been reading a lot so bear with me,

Feminized normal weed seeds (photo period) are gonna flower when we hit 12/12 hours of day and night, and when the plant starts thinking the days are getting shorter.

I would almost trim those leaves off and plant past them, but I’m not sure if that’s okay or not.

I heard on here that any part of the plant put under ground will grow roots, and above will grow vegetation.

Dumb question:

I'm a rookie and have only have a couple auto grows under my belt....but would it make sense to top that plant and start a clone with the top? That's my initial thoughts on seeing what you have to work with.

Ok I didnt know that, thank you, but I did some reading on transplanting, will doing something like cause too much stress?

Tbh idk, I’m a new grower too, this is my second grow, first died due to overwatering

What about nutrients?

apparently if you top an auto, the clone will be in the same stage. So if your auto is on its fourth week, so will the clone. They would still flower at the same time. There was a whole argument thread about it

I try to transplant at night so they don’t get roasted. I’ve learned that you wanna change like one thing a week. If you need to top them, top them then wait. Transplant? Transplant and give them time to react.

There’s also something called great white on amazon that helps with transplant shock
