first day of week 8 jst excited to show the girls lol grew about 1.5 -2 inches if m not mistaking and yea i probably am over doing it with the light bt according to their numbers this should be push about 200 w each 100 w +- 5 w at wall so if they are right it’s should be pretty close to 800 w replacement 400 actual watts at wall the smart dumb logic i use was there to 3000 replaces 800 w while using 450w.... these four probably about 415 -420 actual w being used while replacing hps/ mh 800 watts also couldn’t find anything that suggested that the bigger lights had any kind of different lights same pattern just bigger bt i believe i do have about 100 or so led lights less then the 3000 does sadly bt i think the biggest benefits are since its 4 light placement can be spread any which way you’d like it to and and price wise i couldn’t say no lol. any one have any tips or catch something i might had missed would be more then appreciated wasn’t gonna update for a few days is that almost three inches in one day?

So I think it’s the beginning of the of week six lol ehh light went of April 19 at 600 am and back on at 6 pm same day so it’s tough to be sure sometimes aha so turn out my light way too intense well I knew it was gonna be a problem the first time realized I was running outta space seems it grow about three inches or so in the last week didnt really pay attention to that part aha my bad busy admiring the bud bt I figured it out and set my light up like this not sure if it’s better bt i made it to much for my girls again and struggled to get a few more inches of height bt I thinks we gonna be okay got the heat average of the top of canopy to 77 f and just look at light don’t think I could show it threw pictures bt I have almost no shadows shoulda took a picture of the very bottom ehh always tomorrow till next time be safe every one Aha it’s 5/27 and there’s just too many good pictures it’s to hard to decide which ones to put up and not to up lol well as you can see on some they had abit of light/heat stress burn finally coming back regular growth and well not really much more there beauty says it all lol A little scared I’m not gonna flush them right or time it for harvest and well harvesting at the right time lol well just gonna hope for the best good luck to you and healthy growing

Day 3 of week 8 and they are just looking amazing not to much longer week maybe two started flushing at the beginning of this week just to be safe lol new pistils just exploding still be seeming to be keeping abit more red ones from what I can tell can’t get to close to the trichromes bt from what I can tell mostly clear bt I’m sure that changes quickly gonna try to hurry and get something to get closer hopefully before it’s too late happy and safe growing every one 💪💪 June 12 and if my finger math is right it’s day 55 of flowering and they are just breath taking beautiful with my excited ness I started looking up the blue cookie strain to see pictures get a better idea of Finnish product and maybe catch some tips for late flowering first thing I see is blue cookie strain typically flower inbetween 56 - 63 days still haven’t counted my fingers up bt everywhere I looked said the same thing thing 8-9 weeks so ahaha one - two weeks woulda been such a rookie move aha I guess I only have days to harvest oops been flushing for about a week now had some clear x from botancare didn’t wanna have to use it bt hey better safe then safe heavy flush tomorrow most likely the last

Ahhh it’s been too long been abit busy life don’t wait sadly lol well I guess a lot has happened since my last update all been doing amazing one was ready probably even abit more amber then I wanted bt oh well before I harvested about two days before I gave her a major defloration just so everything could get some light probably why I was late and got more amber lol I did notice abit of the lower parts where much younger then the rest of the plant I mean they were mature bt bearly decided to just do the same to the other two honestly didn’t know what to expect they all took it amazingly well I cut every leaf that had a reachable stem the next day all the baby leafs had grown almost covered them selfs all back up crazy right well in the end I harvested one and all the top of another they where way to ahead of the bottoms and all that’s left is one and a half plants lol maybe another day or two for those will update with harvested pictures soon I didn’t know what to expect when I started I sure didn’t expect this tho

Harvest was great being my first time don’t think I ran into any problems other then never enough space well I harvested 1 whole plant and the tops of another and gave the other one and bottom have five days more first whole plant was way to early for my liking I’m blame my crazy strong lights lmao for the light /heat damage cause the extra red hairs and trichromes that being said still has an amazing flavor coming In only been 5 days in a jars so still earthy 100 % head high in my opinion it was just way to early one more week woulda been greatshe was the shortest bt got the most light heat damage ..??? still she produced a whooping 107 grams about 90 to 95 % trimmed tops cut at the same time where a lot more farther along still a few days woulda probably been even better starts leaning more to a body high still comes with a strong head high flavor just keeps getting better and all her tops came in at 65 grams fully trimmed in jar after 3 days it’s bottom got cut down five days late looks so much more better looking frostier dencer came in at 57 grams about 90 % trimmed first day in jar and my last plant just looks amazing sadly seems to look like she was way to earlly not sure bt we will see soo she came in at an amazing 146 about 95 % trimmed 1 st day in jars
