Red Hot Cookies - Bugbee soil recipe

Plant has been topped already twice. There was an accidental mistake on trying to lst one cola and it almost came off. Now she seems she is recovering well. I sprayed algae solution with diamond nectar and a nutrient solution from advanced nutrient to solve a previous lack of nitrogen. The light is a migro aray 3 270 w. Set to a distance to get a 800 PPF from the center of the canopy. This is a DLI of 51. I've been using co2 for a month but can is already expired. For now she gonna use my breath (co2 of a room is easy higher than the ambient level) as co2 generator. The light cycle goes from 5 pm to 11 am. Temperature goal during vegetative growth is 29 degrees which is the perfect temperature without high level of co2. All of my growing setups have been planned through extensive research on publications found on internet. The growing equipment has been chosen accordingly. The soil where she been put into is made by 50% peat 40% vermiculite (2-5mm thick) and 10% perlite. It has been amended with dolomite lime and gypsum (look for bugbee soil recipe for the exact quantity) Water pH is 6.8 and the run off is about 6.3. For the fertilizers at the moment I'm following what the company says. During flowering I'm going to change the advised quantity to obtain those ppm of macro nutrients. 120 ppm of N (80% nitrate and 20% ammonium), 20 ppm of P (3 weeks prior to harvest is going to be increased to 50ppm), 100 ppm of K. That should correspond to 1.5 ml/l of floramicro, 0.5 ml of floragro and 1 ml of florabloom. I'm using terraquatica, European branch of GHE and some plagron nutrients For the next week i wait till she grow up a little bit more and then I practice some LST to bring up some of the middle sprout. The goal is to have 16 colas Cheers

Plant seems responding well after last week topping and a stem accidentally almost broke. No much water needed already 4 days from last watering. LST done to not cover the colas from each other. Humidity, room temperature and lead temperature are always checked to give a leaf VPD from 1 to 1.20 kPa

Plant seems growing well. I don't have CO2 anymore so the rate of growing slowed a little bit. At the begining of the next week I'm gonna add CO2 again and see what gonna happen

Changed the ratio of nutrients to meet the 120-20-100 ppm of NPK. Bought a co2 controller to have the plants running at 1200 ppm of co2. The lamp, in this case, a Mars hydro ts1000 won't be able to take advantage of higher co2 concentrations. Soon I'm gonna top her again to have 16 colas. I planned to have 128 colas with this plant to fill all the space. I think another 2 weeks for the flowering switch.

Few changes made. - plant has been topped again so now I count 16 colas. - I cut some secondaries colas to make some clones out of them using hesi clonfix and power roots for the water solution in peat cubes. - I added about 8 liter of new soil with the new bugbee recipe (Estonian peat moss, wollastonite, dolomite, vermiculite and rice hulls) - switched the light to 22 hours and increased light height to have better light uniformity in the box without losing the amount of DLI. Before the flowering period I will buy a new light with more power suitable for a CO2 growing. I also thing that in about 1 week I'm gonna top her again to have 32 colas.

A lot of branches have been cut. at the moment the plant has about 18 main colas with another 32 secondaries colas. I cut all the nodes from the center of the plant (Leaves won't be touched) to direct the energy to the main colas. There will be another cut when the new nodes reach three nodes to reach about 104 colas in a 3x3. thats about 11 colas per sq feet or 128 colas in 1 m^2 There was a chance of overfeeding last week but I noticed it very early. Plant saved. The shape of the plant is now round. I'm waiting for the new lights to come and so bring the Migro in this tent instead of the marshyrdro. Leaves color is very dark green but she stay very well overall. Added Voodoo juice and piranha from advanced nutrients to give some beneficial bacteria to the soil. Foliar spray with some alga products with free flow as surfactant

This week I topped the plant, changed the ratio of nutrients with target of 120-20-100 ppm and supercrop some colas to make an even canopy. Once the new light will come I will start flowering and mount the net on

One week already with 12 hours lights. Plant is growing a lot about 3 nodes in a week. She started also to drink very much. Sign of pistil after 8 days

Plant entered third week of flowering. She grows vigorously

Plant stopped growing and start fattening. Nutrients proportion followed are: 120ppm N, 30 P, 100 K, 30 Ca, 40 Mg. In 2 weeks there will be an increase of Phosphorus and a slight increase of magnesium. Added 4 spot lights to the corners, 45W each. In 4 weeks a UVB lamp by MIGRO will be added to run 1 hour mid cycle for the last 3 weeks Temperature are monitored and VPD schedule is strictly followed. A slight tip burn due to light to close was spotted and then fixed, nothing too dramatic. Unfortunately no sign of red flowers yet :(((((

Ok my dear fellows. I've upgraded my tent in a 1m X 2m. With this setup and a high potent dehumidifier I should be able to keep the humidity low. Unfortunately this high humidity was going too kill two other crops. With this setup I should reduce that risk again. So the RHC is now together with the others. She is bulking a lot. There have been a little discoloration on the upper leaves. It might have been the light too strong. This is weird because I'm providing 1500 ppm CO2. All the other parameters are ok so it must have been a little lack of water some days ago. Smell starts to be very noticeable BUT it doesn't reminds me weed but instead citronella. I thought that's why I don't see mosquitos in the room. To the next week *Changed nutrients ratio to meet to lower the EC but keeping PK at the level of (40ppm - 100 ppm). *Next upgrade will be a tower fan to increase the airflow

Plant development seems at a good stage. She's drinking a lot. 5 liters per day. The leaves continue to whiten. I lower the pH of the solution to 6 hoping that it will help with this struggle.

Plant exhibit different deficiency. I followed the advices given and I flushed the pot. After I started giving ripen for a boost. I also raise the light for because those.deficiencies ar more pronounced in near the center of the light . Plant seems anyway in good shape, drinking a lot about 5 liters every 24h. I hope she will be ready in nearly one week and a half

Well Hi The harvest has been very rewarding. I didn't write any number because too lazy to weight it. But it was a lot for 270w light. Everything went as espected. Of course the light wasnt enough for CO2 growing but instead it meant that every photons of the light have been used. I would guess a 330- 340g . I only weight 1.5 liter can with 50g. I uploaded the first filled can. Buds were knock heavy so even if they were small they were extremely well structured. Harvest time was on what the breeder wrote but I harvested it some days earlier. Time for harvest has been checked with a magnifier. Smell reminds of lavanda and citronella with a hint of almond. Very sweety. I think that there are parts of world where people are not really used by this quality and although is so sexy and beautiful is still ssooo much different from what people expect that they discard it. This is a boutique variety and can be truly understood by people that really love ganja.
