Cookies Gelato & Critical

speckimampftonne Double the fun: The plants are in the grow tent in the mini greenhouse. In the greenhouse, it's easier to maintain humidity between 70 and 80%. Seedlings are in yogurt cups with seedling soil. Moistening with a spray bottle.

speckimampftonne just the latecomer Critical in the mini greenhouse because of the humidity. The 3 Cookie Gelato are right under the lamp.

speckimampftonne they're not really growing fast. The latecomer is relatively small

speckimampftonne Repotted into 20-liter fabric pots. The soil is exclusively homemade compost. In between, the MH lamp gave up the ghost. Good reason to switch to LED. However, due to the low temperatures, MH isn't bad at all and still significantly cheaper to buy. So I got a new 400-watt MH lamp (EUR 28).

speckimampftonne So far, I haven't fertilized. Now I've started with 10 ml/week of yellow Hesi fertilizer + root complex.

speckimampftonne 2 plants topped, 1 filmed, the smallest one not touched

speckimampftonne —

speckimampftonne Plants are between 10 and 45 cm tall. The topped plant hasn't developed well, so I cut off the main stem.

speckimampftonne Switching to 12/12. Plants are 10, 35, 45 cm tall. A sip of green fertilizer. Harvest time at 9 weeks = February 24th. Always water with rainwater.

speckimampftonne Merry Christmas with green Hesi fertilizer in rainwater!

speckimampftonne 50-70 cm. Net stretched to bend the big plant. Dehumidifier brings a sip of water daily. Watering 2 times with green & blue fertilizer. Plants look healthy and are starting to form flowers.

speckimampftonne Plants are no longer growing and are somewhere between 60 cm and 1 m. Leaves are a rich green, no discoloration.

speckimampftonne I cut off a few shoots from the very bottom. Almost all the shoots reach at least 50% of the total height of the plant, and I'm leaving them. Some leaves have red stems. This might be because they are exposed to more light due to the bending of the plants in the net.

speckimampftonne Only a few leaves at the bottom are turning yellow Humidity > 50% (rainy weather)

speckimampftonne So far, all the leaves are a rich green. To give the buds more light, I'm removing about 10 large fan leaves from the upper parts. Humidity is 40 - 50%. I'm only watering with plain water now, no nutrients. The buds could be bigger, or maybe I'm just too impatient. Trichomes on the Cookie Gelato are almost completely milky. The smell is still low.

speckimampftonne I only water with water now, one 1.8-liter can every day. Humidity is between 40 and 50%. No mold problem. The buds don't seem to be growing anymore. With a Cookie Gelato, the leaves are turning yellow. Trichomes on the Cookie Gelato are almost consistently milky, about 10% amber. Critical still has 50% clear.

speckimampftonne The Cookies Gelato trichomes were mostly milky, a few still clear or already amber, while the Critical were mostly clear. I stopped watering 2 days before harvest. Only removed the large leaves before drying. Did not weigh.
