Despite being sick Cookies is still a strong and hardy plant. Watered again with hydrogen peroxide solution. I'm a little disappointed as this plant is maturing with super fast rate, weather will be good for all the week long so I think she will be ready in 7 days, two weeks before the minimum indicated by the breeder. This is not the first time that plants here mature earlier than indicated. Also Cookies reacts to illness anticipating the ripening. This enormous plant, if she had been in good health she would have yielded as much as 3 pounds of bud. Since it is partially unable to assimilate nutrients from the roots, however she continued to ripen well because she has had so many huge leaves from which to draw nutrients. Therefore friends, never defoliate a plant outdoors in the open ground. Never
Sehr schöner grow! Bei maleb hätte ich Angst wegen boytrithis. Die trockenen, gelben/braunen fächerblätter an den buds sehen sehr verdächtig aus. Hast du da mal ins innere (an den stamm) geschaut?
@Rap_a_cap,nice! Really a high yielder. Looking pretty close to being ready. The last weeks, I. M. O. Are the most nerve wrecking when it comes to mold and the risk of losing stuff..
@GermanGrow182, you are right about that pale leaf, after the crop a little spot of rot was promptly removed. This giant plant is rather prone to mold so I check her twice a day
@GermanGrow182, yes German I'm checking twice a day and you are right Bro about that bud, inside I've found initial rot spot but all the infected buds have already been cropped, washed, inspected and eventually removed. It's really an enormous plant, rather prone to mites and mold but her smell is amazing and she'll give to me near a kilo.
Looks good. You should check out my Hash Bud, Bubble OG and Candyland diaries where I started indoors and now at 17 weeks veg. These were manifolded (first time) and are now getting huge. You might like Hash Bud in particular. Cheers.
@Rap_a_cap, QCS are a breeder and not just a reseller. I’m also trying their Jackberry this year and all three seem really good. You’re right in that I mostly have to use autos and I’m trying a few photoperiods. Now near the solstice we get 17 h of daylight. Hash Bud is a cross of a famous Canadian indica strain called God Bud which won the Cannabis Cup a few years ago.
@Northern_Ent, of course Mate, these are the only three strains of your that I find interesting, the others are all autos, I don't even consider them but I know You use them because of day length. How many hours of light are there now? Is the QCS a company that does research and hybridization or simply re-sell seeds produced by cannabis Majors?
Bonne culture, mon ami
Hello my friend! Looking forward to following your progress this year! At least you got all the (minor) mistakes out of the way up front! Happy growing!
@Rap_a_cap, One hundred percent bro! I got a little bit of a late start but we are still getting frost so it actually worked out pretty well. I'll upload photos tomorrow.
@Newbie87, the pieces in my hand are 3 different processings of bubble ice hash. The darker ones are made of 150 and 75 microns sieves and the matter is worked fresh and wet by hand friction. Is a hard and dirty job that can take 1-2 hours to be done. At first wet resin will stick everything, you have to rub frequently your finger. Make a ball and keep on to knead it. The job is done when herbaceous smell turns into hash smell. Wrap it with cellophane and store in a jar. Every three day open the ball and play with it for some minutes. Repeat it 3 times and let it rest wrapped in cellophane for 2 weeks.
You suffered the dreaded fusarium too my friend? It still looks like you were able to pull quality bud from the plant! I lost almost my entire crop to fusarium oxysporum last year. By the time I found out what it was I had already lost many plants. Great looking bubble hash!!! I did have one plant that was far enough along for me to wash for bubble hash but the others were a total loss. Doing better this year and hoping for better outcome.
