Indoor Mephisto Strawberries and Cheese

Two weeks old today, the Forgotten Strawberries continues to leave the Northern Cheese Haze in the dust.

This past week the plants were fed from a gallon mix that contained 3 ml calmag+, 2 grams megacrop, 1 gram sweetcandy as well as some recharge.

Forgotten strawberries looks like she could go on the res any day now but I’ll be waiting for the NCH to be ready before I get that going. By next Monday I will have the air domes running and the res filled.

On to the pictures....

And here’s a shot of them together to show size difference....

Three weeks old today. Air domes are on, and the pots are in their trays. I do not have the aqua valves in because I mixed a gallon of nutes to give the pots a good watering and just poured the remainder into the trays for now. I will put the valves in tomorrow and get a few gallons of feed into the res.

Feed consisted of
3ml calmag+
3 grams megacrop
1 gram sweet candy

Both plants were topped at the fourth node. I just pinched the tops off by hand while they were still really small and that’s why you may notice the top set of fans look like something was snacking on them, they just got pinched a little by accident.

They are also both showing pistils and beginning to branch out. I may end up removing a couple fans from the forgotten strawberries soon as she is growing just like strawberry nuggets. Big fat fan leaves and a tight bushy structure. I probably could have left it to grow naturally, but I like topping my plants :shrug:

On to the pics.

Rather than remove any of the fans on the forgotten strawberries I got in there this morning and tied the large ones down and out of the way to expose all the lower shoots. Next weeks update this should look like a totally diffferent plant....

The plants are 4 weeks old today, and the Northern Cheese Haze is not looking so good. Pretty bad case of nitrogen toxicity with the extreme claws in her leaves, and she’s pretty lanky too. I’ve never had a plant get nitro tox this bad before. I backed off in the megacrop back down to 2.5 grams per gallon along with 3ml botanicare calmag+ and 1 gram sweet candy. Both plants are on the res and the air domes have been turned on.

There really is no contest here. The forgotten strawberries is far and away the better looking plant, but I will reserve judgement for when these ladies reach the finish line. I’ve been surprised by plants I’ve doubted in the past and there is still plenty of time for her to sway my opinion.
