Week 9 of Flower and the Punchberry Cookies Rbx just about ripe at 63 days of flower today (5/12). I've never had to time a DWC bucket flush before, so going purely on instinct. Specifically, Trichomes are mostly milky with amber development. I am hoping a 3-5 day flush with ph'd RO water will bring out any potential color AND that Trichomes will continue to ripen bringing amber to about 15-20%. As for the week in review, I'd say pretty uneventful, which is good. Continued daily water and ppm level drops with stable ph range readings - zero wild swings. She's kicking up some incredibly strong smells of fruit. She's frosty and does smell a bit like Hawaiian Punch as advertised. Looking forward to completing the DWC bucket flush and harvesting the girl. She and I got off to a rocky start. Fortunate that she recovered and produced the way she did. Next couple of posts (i.e., Harvest & Cure) will end this spring 23 run.

Beginning of week.. Gonna go down on the Armor Si.. Up on the Kushie Kush and call it a week lol.. She is stackin nicely.. Smelling kinda strong for her size already.. Not a bad strain to have as a freebie!.. Mid week.. Noticing some nute burn on the tips of leaves.. Gonna go down on some nutes.. Not sure which yet.. I got a few days till I feed again.. I went ahead and defoliated the shit outta her.. I feel it's going to help with all the airflow that's able to get around in there now.. I've had great results with defoliating this much.. I've had awful results with defoliating barely anything.. But with this strain, I think she will NOT disappoint! The smell is getting pretty strong! Still don't really smell much of a cheese.. But she is gonna be DANK af for sure! These bulbs are a little too close to the 2 tall skinny colas.. The leaves are beginning to show some yellowing in between the veins.. Not much I can do.. Maybe tie them down somewhere.. I may just let her keep going this way.. Other colas look fine.. If I can raise the bulbs 2 inches or so, I will.. But as for now, they stay till I can figure it out. Not a bad strain at all! 👍 End of week.. Wow she is smelling amazing! Trichomes are everywhere! This is a very frosty lady! I've cut out the Armor Si (Silica) and went down on the Kushie Kush (bloom booster) from Advanced Nutrients.. If I still keep seeing the burnt tips, I will lower what needs to be lowered again. But she is just.. Wow.. The colas still have plenty of time to fatten up. I have some AC Infinty computer fans that I need to install onto this grow box.. They are much better than what I've been using.. They are both on one USB plug but can be controlled by a switch with high, medium and low settings.. Pretty cool and powerful little fans.. I'll have one for exhaust and one for circulation around the plant.. How I already have it setup basically.. Just with these AC Infinity fans.. Gonna try to get them in next week.. Another week down.. Not too many more to go! Awesome strain! Very happy with this freebie.. I wish I would have made some fem seeds, or at least fem pollen with her! I may try a reveg, cut 2 clones from it and try that at a later day.. Anyways.. On to the next!...

Beautiful pheno of Ak420 by seedstockers same smell as her sister, the other 2 plants of this same ak420 package, let's see how this wonderful lady keeps developing, I think I could have train this lady just like this but I should have gave her a few more weeks of growth before changing the light cycle.

01/24/25. Start week 8 veg I messed around with these a lot the past week. I could see they had plenty of branching and bud sites but most of them were hiding. I used some lst clips to move things around and get more exposed. They were watered yesterday with calmag and next watering will be with a feeding. Theyre drinking about a gallon every 3 days each currently. They’ve exploded with branching now. They like to keep hiding under the big ol leaves though. They’ll be getting flipped soon. Would have already done it but one of the friends had been a straggler and trying to get her right. That about covers it. Update: forgot to add the pictures of lst. They’re at the end now. Whoops 02/27/25- did some more last minute training and cleaned up around their nether regions and got rid of lower growth. Also added video. Thanks for lookin. ✌️✌️

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. 84/14 Fun with Filters VPD was controlled at reduced temps and RH today - RH now set to 55% max and Temps are 75F at max Over night allowed down to 67F when lights go out. Lights were good and same as yesterday with some light LST PPFD at 750 down to 550. I used 20 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR with 15 before and after main lights on/off. She's now about 25" tall and 35" wide. Also took some black back and shadow pics for fun (no filters or sharpen only) Day 85/15 Feed Day I gave 2 gallons of de-chlorinated tap combined with 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix total 600ppm and a ph of 6.4. Foliar sprayed some on the outer leaves and left the tent door open to help dry them. (took like 15 minutes with the fans.) top soil ph checked at 6.22ph and run off was at 5.74 with 1580ppm Lights at a range of 750 to 500 Ran 25 minutes of UV and the standard 1hr IR with 15/15 before and after lights on/off and 30/30 at that time. VPD was easy to manage with the doors open and then the fan seemed to have to work more today but just more often and not high fan. Day 86/16 Humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. Tips carried a little burn on them today, some all over which makes me think nute burn because ppfd was 550 to 750 as it has been for a few days now and there are tips on leaves with little direct light showing burn as well. Will continue to monitor as well. IR and UV are set on timers and I screwed up with mine today. I was supposed to change the setting and forgot (time change screwed me up and I thought I did it when I changed timers that needed correction) until it was too late and ended up giving her 30 minutes of IR and 1 hour of UV... will have to check/monitor for effects tomorrow. The good news is that she's had a little over two weeks with UV so maybe not so bad. (fingers crossed it doesnt stress her too much) Day 87/17 Again, humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two de-humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. If I open the tent for a while I can get the humidity down by about another 5% so tomorrow I plan to leave it open after I feed again. Took some light burn from yesterday's extended UV exposure, but read that it's not bad to take on some stress from UV in flower, especially if you still have time to recover. The pros suggest that you can stress her to grow defensive systems that may create thicker/stickier leaves and flowers with more terpene production. The cons however suggest that it could stress too much and stunt the growth or in extreme/sudden cases, cause her to herm. (thus why they say in mid flower is best if you plan to stress with UV) So it is what it is. I will monitor the leaves that took damage and likely remove them this week when I defoliate schwazz style. I still resumed the schedule of increasing UV as planned but ahead a few days now so 45minutes of UV and 1 hr IR with 15/15 before and after main lights on/off. Day 88/18 Lots happening today. Firstly, I found a split today... on the main stem trunk, so I used superglue to seal the cracks and held together while it set. Then I wrapped it with heavy duty gorilla tape, two 1ft pieces as both a clamp and a support on the other side. I then tied each cola to the inner ring. So then I decided that since I am here having to work on this I may as well go ahead and do the defoliation I was planning for tomorrow. Schwazze style defoliation (at least my interpretation of the method without having to buy the book, super defoliate week 1 and 3 of flower - so almost) Then after that I also preformed heavy strength training - I broke each cola right under the bud sites that I left and bent her outward. I then upped the lights ever so slightly and have a max of 850 ppfd and low of 650 ppfd now. She had 45 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR same routine, IR on/off at main light schedule with 15 before and after main lights. VPD is better now that I placed another open air vent at the bottom, this one is 6 inch. I also placed the fans a little better to blow directly on the leaves left behind. Low speed for now, but as the leaves come back I plan to increase to get dancing leaves in the middle too. Temps were 74F and RH 55% with the ILV set to auto. I plan to feed 2 gallons of 650ppm 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix. Since my last ph was really low I am going to increase the feed to 7.0ph - not sure what if anything I can do about ppm. Day 89/19 VPD was normal with the exception of holding the tent open as I said I was going to today. Temps at 74F and RH mostly 55% with the ILV set to auto. PPFD also checking in with the same settings/results today, 880 to about 650 ppfd. UV was set for 45 minutes midday, and IR with the same 1 hr with 15 minutes before and after main light on/off. Water feed today with about 2.25 gallons of 7.0 ph de-chlorinated tap diluted with 25:75 ratio of veg/bloom mix (690 ppm total) watered until drip started and I got about .25 gallon runoff. Runoff measured 5.75 ph and 1630 ppm (top soil tested 4x with avg of 6.35) Next feed will be a plain water salt flush. Plant looked so nice a day today that I decided to take some more black back pics. Day 90/20 VPD and PPDF were fine today with normal settings of 74F/55%RH/Auto ILV - PPFD ranged from 550 to 750 because of HST on the limbs. This will be the last stress I give her and hope it wasnt too much. Hoping this all results in a big yield and not a herm.

20/3/2020: Finally Im gonna try with LST because of im growing indoors in night and outdoors during day and the artificial light will be much more efficient with this technique. Probably I will let Lemon Haze grow naturally , at least at the starting. Stay tunned !!

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas finta F1 de ZamnesiaSeeds, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo, me estaban dando muchos quebraderos de cabeza. Las flores no son para nada llamativas, una variedad más cruzada con rudelaris, que para mi gusto es perder el tiempo y el dinero invertido en cultivar cosas así… no merece la pena en interior, el ratio de gramo watio se me quedó en 0.5 , de los no peores resultados que tuve en los últimos 5 años. a sido una genética con la que no disfruté nada cultivarla, es complicada, es bastante sensible. Las plantas en sí se quedaron enanas y para nada fue lo que esperaba, me recordaron a las autos que plantaba en el 2012… Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Hello everyone 🙂 Here we are finally with the Harwest report of this fantastic variety🍪                                  COOKIES KUSH from Barney's Farm..                                                   GIRL SCOUT COOKIES ×ROLLEX OG KUSH..                                                  I love this hybrid , from seed to flower, so I will try to be as partial and honest as possible, although I have very little negative to say, maybe nothing..                               But let's we started..                                 Initially I germinated three seeds, all three born after two days at a constant temperature around 24 °, placed inside two pieces of wet paper, in turn closed between two coffee saucers..                                              I was unable to post the first two weeks because I was on vacation by the sea, finding the best canarian cannabis social club, while they were growing up😎: 1:                            Towards the end of the third week the show started🎬..                                             A massive attack of thrips led me to have to use neem oil to try to counter these little ones. bastards🙄.                                              The oil was sprayed on the leaves using a pump sprayer..                                First though mixed it with about 1/5 of potassium soap, as I have always found written to do..                        As you can see in the first photos📷 the plant (and also her two sister in diari "COOKIES×KUSH") has undergone enormous stress making the leaves as if they had been bitten by some animal..                             But the fault was all of neem oil or the wrong mix🤷‍♂️                 Trying to inform me here and there, I did not find much specific information, but I really believe that the plant has undergone a phytotoxic effect as a reaction following the use of the neem oil..                                                     The despair was great, but I tried to remain calm and understand what had happened in the hope that the effect would not extend going to compromise the health of the plant💆‍♂️🧘‍♂️..                                     After a couple of weeks in the Flowering cycle, this great Cookies pheno recovered great and as if nothing had tripled in size, maintaining a beautiful main top with vigor branches full of dense buds all around..                                               In the first week of flowering I cut the first two branches, focusing the energies on the upper ones.. After a few days I made a super Cropping on the central top, always trying to increase the vigor of the branches below💪🌲..          And the plant has always reacted very well, as if nothing had happened..                                          I also thought of defoliating, but then I left the idea to not stress it further..                                               In carrying out the final transplant I placed mycorrize in the ground, directly in contact with the roots..                                            In the first week of flowering I gave again once a bit of fish mix to facilitate the stretch phase..                                            Later during the flowering I used the slow release organic powder of the Greenhouse, plus twice the Biobloom fertilizer from Biobizz..I increased everything with biomass biomass , once / twice, more enchancers once through irrigation (always greenhouse), more than molasses..                                           I also gave some banana macerate made by me, but honestly I don't know if it influenced or not exactly, but I don't think bad did it..            Flowering was very quiet and without too many complications, if not some insect that I tried to fight using yellow and blue traps..                  After 55 days from the transition to 12/12 I could have safely cut, but I decided to wait a ten more days, up to 65 °..                               Towards the end of flowering, this beautiful girl had fantastic colors..                                              The yellow of most of the leaves, due to the discharge of nutrients, contrasted very well with the purple color that had taken on the other leaves and in small part also the flowers..                             Unfortunately in the photo does not give a good idea of ​​how beautiful it was..                               The plant, as I usually do, was cut entirely and placed upside down in a wooden wardrobe controlled temperature and humidity, without becoming too crazy, always trying to maintain a balance..                                        More or less I always dried around 21/24 ° with a ur around 55/60%..                                        After about 7 days, when the outer leaves were dry enough to the touch, but not to crumble, I cut the branches to one by one keeping the flowers attached..                                            I then performed a manicure in a best  art-way possible..                                         Nice, slow hands trimming..buds to buds..                                                                               Afterwards I put the branches with the flowers on a net for about a day and a half..                                 When I heard that the Popcorn Buds came off without leaving "the thread", I cut all the flowers from the branches and I have them stored inside a brown paper bag..                                                       I left them inside for about two days until the flowers were almost completely dry as I wanted, always being careful not to let them dry out too much.. This phase is very delicate so you need to check the condition of the flowers several times a day.. Once ready I put them inside an airtight jar..                                    For 24 hours I didn't open, letting the humidity present in the flowers come out making them still slightly wet..                           After a day, I found that the flowers had moistened to the touch, but not in an excessive way, just as I wanted..                                           From this moment on, I ap straight up the pot about three / four times a day at a distance of about 6h (always without getting too mad)..                                            For the first week I did so, then going to decrease the openings in the following two weeks..                                  After three weeks the perfume is came to be created in a clear, sweet and pungent way..                                                                               The first few weeks of opening the jar, for those who may not know it, it is normal to feel a fragrance of almost wet hay, which leads you to believe that you have made mistakes going to eliminate those incredible aromatic notes present during flowering..but not it is so..                                                               The cure process, if well carried out, leads to reducing from time to time that unpleasant smell of hay until it transforms into that complex bouquet of terpenes that are cannabis can give..                                                                    It is fantastic to observe the transformation in the terpene profile during this phase♥️🤩..                                    I think it is a highlight, where patience and attention play a fundamental role in being able to obtain a high quality product, from connoisseur..  Just my opinion🤗                             Cannabis, if well tanned, maintains and intensifies its aroma and potency in the coming months📆..                                            The flowers burn slowly and steadily inside lla map releasing intense aromas💐..                            The smoke inhaling it remains soft and velvety without creating throat disorders..                                 I believe this phase is fundamental to be able to enjoy a unique product with organoleptic characteristics which it is difficult not to fall in love with👌..                                            In the case of this variety, specifically of this pheno, the aroma is undoubtedly mint, mint mint with some sweet earthy notes..                                              Very complex..                                 The taste in smoke is more tending to earth, but very sweet and delicate with other notes that I can't to recognize, complex to describe, but mint is not very present as in the perfume (after 40 days of care)..                    Basically you are faced with a kush 2.0 , very very good and powerful..                                           A must have for kush lover's👌🏆..         As you can see in the video, the grass burns very well going to fill the map with oil..                             The joint in question is obviously a pure without tobacco, rolled with organic papers and organic filter. If well cared for it gives off scents that potentially can hear hundreds of meters, so be careful you have neighbors (Ps, mine are the ones that nobody would like)..    I do a smoke test only to evaluate if the treatment process has been successful, otherwise in my days I usually use vaporizers ( mighty / ghostmv1 / dynavap m / vulcano sometimes )..                                  Thanks very much to those who created them🙏🙏🙏🔝🔝..                                         Anyway                                                In the test carried out with mighty (from 177 ° to 195 °) the aroma is pungent, much more than in smoke..                                      Excellent Kush flavor, sweet enough but with earthy and spicy notes..                                       Complex to describe and I would not add anything else to try to be as honest as possible..                             Regarding the effect, I won't go too far..                                              In general it is a herb that acts on the body, leaving the mind calm and able to do anything (at least for me)..                                             As a good Kush that respects itself..                                                   It is not not at all mentally invasive..                                   Wanting to be honest though, most of my friends (all daily smokers, around 30) are overwhelmed by this variety because it relaxes them too much..                                                 I personally find myself to be god and I could use it in every moment of the day, also before intense physical activity.. something that does not always happen with sativa..                       Just for this subject🤯.                                               In this way I cut the plant when the trichomes were roughly 10% amber and the remaining milk color..                                                   It was a great experience to see this girl grow up..                                                      Her strength and endurance were impressive and maybe I was lucky to have the problem of neem oil with her, because she endured great, allowing me to learn without compromising too much the final result..another plant would probably die..                                                      I thank everyone who read the diary over the various weeks..                                               And thanks Grow Diaries for creating this community and connecting with it🙏🙏👌👌..                                                        For more and more precise info I refer you to watch every single week where I tried to post everything as precisely as possible..                                             I hope you had Fun..          Remember to make some ClouDs☁️        And to the next story diary 😉🌱..                     Thanks for the support🙏💚 Bye ✌️ Ps. The final weight of the flowers is calculated with only the main buds, dried, cleaned from each leaflet and finally cured for more than a month. The 205w light must be divided by three (she is the one who has used the least amount seen the position in the grow) Hope you enjoy Happy growing As always, hope English will good

So we have had a heck of a week. Fought the gnats and maybe won part of the war. I replanted the troubled girl into a fabric pot with roots 707 only. I figured it can't get worse, right? The other gal that topped herself is doing amazing! She's going to be a big ole girl!

3/18 Week 12 Day 33/Flower Have a Norto virus in the house so being brief All looks good no changes at this time waiting on buds to say when Tricones 80% Milky 20% clear with no amber so at least a week to go before flush 3/19 Pics Lot happened overnight, looking like end of week for flush. Will continue PK for one more day as time for the last push here now as upped nuets about 200ppm. PK ends Friday, nuets will drop back 200ppm at the same time. Flush begins 3/24 Tuesday... 08:05 PDT ... 😏 3/21 Day 36/Flower Ended PK dropped CT to below 900ppm On track for flush mid-week which will be real close to Fast Buds estimate of 45 days. 3/22 D 37/F Pics Just waiting for the ripening and flush day next week. Trics pretty much all white now, still no amber but that will come during flush. Will be dropping nuets to half Monday on last feeding. 3/23 D38/F Last feeding at half strength but tossed in a dose of Recharge just to see if it matters. doubt it would but it needed using as it hitting its effective date. Flush begins tomorrow morning 3/24 D39/F Flushed each using 10 gallons PHed tap water and 5ml/gal flushing agent. Pics and vid 3/25 D40/F Runoff @235ppm about 80 ppm over the water ppm so looks like the pot is empty and we can cease the FloraKleen those roots are stripped and I am no rush on this flush.

This week has been great.I'm glad that I was able to pull the plant when I needed to. The weather out here isn't always the best coming towards the end of October. How ever i handle it the best we can. What ive learned to do is wet trim before hang dry. Heres some phots of these glossing nugs. Iknkw ill lose a bitin water weight but im happy none the less. Fire 🔥 This has been a great grow, I learned a lot from Growing out here in new mexico. It was amazing to be able to train these plants 4 into one using training techniques. LST, HST, Defolation & topping all play a roll. It is fun to learn and sharpen my skills. I hope everyone enjoys my diary. Thank you so much Divine seeds. I appreciate the free seeds and the friendly community competition 👌 There's a lot of good growers outthere and I wanna learn from all. Much love ❤️ I'll be back with a smoke review soon

Start of week 6 of flower for Space Panda Shes just so pretty even though her buds are actually on the small-medium size range hopefully this one will be a good quality over quantity pheno! Still getting fed everyday with bottom feeding, this week i did banana peel water with extra cal-mag added too. Going back to water only after she gets another feed of Bio Enhancer. Pheno 2 in week 3 now, she had a little struggle but seems to be doing nicely now? she got q heavy defoliation she really needed it. I HAVENT ABANDONED THIS DIARY! GROW DIAIRIES DOENT LET US GO PAST 21 WEEKS.... FIX THIS ISSUE.

06/17/2020 I'am not sure how she will produce,but the smell is intoxicating! Wow that's all I can say. Better than any gg I've smelled thank you Fast Buds! In fact I love it so much I have decided to selectively pollinate some buds with Red Sky male , that should make for some freaky flavor combos! I think she is stretching and filling out she looks happy! I do have powdery mildew on the stem need to clean it up oh yeah did I tell you I love the smell! Lol
