To start off I just want everyone who reads this grow diary, to have a general understanding of what I do in my grow rooms, and a little bit of background on how I grow.
when I grow any type of plant I rely strictly on science, general hypothesis, and general method.
Although I am growing this cannabis to ingest I am a strong believer in science and only science.
I do multiple experiments on these plants to test the stress and reliability of the strains.
All plants are purchased by me and all of my grow diaries are unbiased, and are not sponsored by any companies.
However
after I do grow a particular strain if the strain is strong enough I contact the breeder for more test seeds of different strains.
While testing the plants I take multiple clones from the same mother plant and test different types of fertilizers and different methods of stress. The reason for this is that whatever it is I do will be almost completely conclusive and correct.
Let’s start with red-hot cookies.
Unfortunately, I do not have any photos of the first week of this plant's germination.
However, I will post the results.
Also, I would like to add that I do use basic fertilizers, I am not into fancy snake oil. I’m a strong believer again in science if a plant is given the right amount of nutrients and is a strong strain you do not need anything more. Wasting hundreds of dollars on unneeded nutrients is definitively something I do not support or endorse. If you are a nutrient/fertilizer company please do not contact me as I am not interested in your sponsorships or free materials. I’m going to keep these diaries unbiased so future customers of the seed breeders have a complete understanding that they do not need to purchase all of the extras to have a great grow.
Week one I have only germinated one seed of red-hot cookies the seeds were purchased from seedsman I received the packet of five. The rest of the seeds went into cold storage, to preserve genetics.
The seeds were germinated on January 25, 2021
also please note that I build custom tanks and hydroponic systems that you cannot find on any market, I have a background in engineering, and botany. I did however purchase the tent it was generic and from viosun. If you’re looking to save money you can purchase these tents without any branding from Ali Baba express. I purchased mine from Amazon as I needed it quickly.
The tank system that I’m using is a 17-gallon container with custom air stones, there are also custom lights as well one purchased LED from Amazon, I purchase LED lights and design my own holders. Please note that I’m a strong believer that you do not have to spend thousands of dollars to yield $300 worth of cannabis.
In the germination stage red-hot cookies sprouted within 48 hours. I used a paper towel method with a Ziploc bag in a warm dark place.
I also use 2-inch net pots, with Rockwool. Most growers use 3 to 5-inch net pots I do not to conserve space. Have grown several times before using the same method with different seed breeders and it had not one issue using 2-inch net pots. Most people will tell you they are too flimsy but they are not. I will note however that mine did break, that was due to what you will read that happened within the months.
The plants generally sprouted as normal I used a basic mineral solution with a baster to keep the rock wool wet.
The taproot protruded the Rockwool within the first week, the water was kept 2 inches from the bottom of the net pot and I used 12 gallons of great value distilled water with 0 ppm.
Hola ! Tambien puedes hacer una comparativa , o mencionar algo que destaque en tus cultivos , asemas puede compartir sus conocimientos..un sin fin de cosas , hasta no tiene que ser un problema...
There is always room for improvement. Ask questions along the way to get bigger better buds! Looks like a nice grow but the buds look smaller then other grows of the same strain. No harm in asking how your doing along the way.
Happy growing
Congratulations! 👏
Thank you very much for trusting our strains, and sharing your experience.
And thank you very much again for the score of 10 out of 10!! 👏😍❤️
We hope you enjoy the harvest 👌
Sweet smokes!

@Sweet_Seeds, Apolo thank you,
I have Dark Devil and Crystal Candy coming up next! the growth was astonishing in H20.
If you have any other strains that i can put through the paces lmk. Red Hot cookies were amazing, I highly recommend it!
