Welcome to my Garlic Cookies Diary sponsored by Pure Instinct and Mars Hydro. This is 1 of 3 fems they sent me to grow for them. I've never had or smoked any weed with garlic in it, or maybe I have. I'm dying to know what it's gonna be like. Also received Gorilla Cookies & King's Banner which will be added when they have them up. Will be putting these seeds in Paper Towel on top of my fridge wrapped in a breathable towel to keep them warm. (Make sure if you do this, to check your PT after 12hrs you'd be surprised at how fast it dries out) after 48hrs max you should have a 1-1.5 cm tap root. I've had them be done in 24hrs. If your seeds are old. I suggest you soak them in water, (do not push to bottom of water, as they'll drown) if after 24hrs no tap has appeared, move onto the next step. Or as soon as a tap shows, then move. Thanks to my Sponsors From Mars Hydro & Pure Instinct Seed company, (reps) who supplied me with these great products.

Welcome to my garlic cookies diary. Sprouted the 12th.....She's up about 4days. Was started in my big tent so done a bit of stretching underneath a big plants trying to find light. Have moved her into my 70cm2 as my 100cm2 is running at 100% and a sealed environment with increased co2 so she wouldn't last the temp. She's up about 3 days. Had her top on for about 12 hrs up out of the ground so lightly had to grab both sides of shell and pull it off. Am going to stick this on an easy regime of Grow from Green House Feeding. Thanks to sponsor Pure Instinto seeds for giving me these beauties.

Welcome to my garlic cookies diary. This little lady was one of the 1st to pop and show her head above ground about 2 days before the others. She is doing well. Nice height and very healthy will be uppotting this week. Veg Days 10-14 plant is coming along.. no doubt the pot size she's in is holding her back some. But she seems to be ploding along fine and has pushed aside that bad feed a few of my plants got that have them all a light disease of some kind. Showed up as rust spots but the leafs got really sickly and brittle in all my girls under 2 weeks. I think it was a disease or too high of a calmag that shouldn't have been given to them in this stage of their life, (as these 2 nutrients are a soft metal). It could be beem that. But, they are pushing past it and getting past the little stall they all had for a few days last week. Thanks to my sponsors from pure instinto. Will be using my SP 3000 after these girls grow up a bit. As she's running at 100% and these are too young to be under such a powerful light. So it's under my P1000. I'll be putting these under my SP 3000.

Welcome to my Garlic Cookies Diary. Sponsored by a new breed 'Pure Instinto' on GrowDiaries. Veg Days 15-21 Has been a good week. Great leaf growth. Looking really nice and healthy. Had to uppot her, even though I don't have the room. I'll manage to get her into a 7L that will hopefully help her keep growing steady. Nodes are pushed out a tad so this week gonna get to taking certain leafs and will push the energy that would be used to make those leafs get bigger will transfer that energy into the the nodes and kick them into growth mode. Also a nice topping will stop all energy on top growth and will push the nodes out. Will be doing it this week. Have a read of this it'll help you push your plants to the max: https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-flowering-stage-defoliation-tutorial It'll bring up lots of links on main browser page. Thanks to my sponsors from MarsHydro & Pure Instinto. And to both reps who supplied me with great products.

Welcome to my Garlic Cookies Diary sponsored by Pure Instinto. Veg Days 22-28 Plant grew well this week. Idk if i should of tried new defoliation methods on a new strain I've never grown. But, she has a very equal node structure. Everything is very, well, fragile. She's still young. And been she had a hard up bringing and was left too long in a 1.7L pot says it all about growers error. I'm going to keep her in veg for another 2-4 wks depending of course. Once going, they are very strong and resilant/resistant to poor choices. And bounce back quickly. At least I've learnt truly how defoliation can be used to enhance or decrease a development in a phenos nodes. And without a good leaf system early in the veg stage. I'm left with a very frail lady. I'm sure as she veg out the next 2 weeks. Her new growth will promote strong and rigorously node growth. Hard LST will begin this week. Thanks to my sponsor, (rep) from pure instinto. Much appreciated for the chance to grow these ladies. She'll stay under my P1000 until she's vegged out, and then I'll decide which light will suit my new batch of 6 & 5 autos/fems. Well 3 autos and 2 F1 hybrids from RQS. Autos are from Zamneisa and fems are a mix of Green House Seeds 2x, Pure Instinto 3 & Kannabia 1 & I've thrown another kannabia into the flip process.

Welcome to my Garlic Cookies Diary. Veg Days 29-31 Has taken a lovely natural shape. Her nodes are still very pliable. So, LST shouldn't be an Issue at all. This lady is a few days behind. So is King's Banner. And will be all flipped at different times. (Limited flowering in my 1m2 even with swaping out fems to keep the autos going) She took a hard defoliation. And your nodes are very uniformed. As is all the others. Very hard genetics. No issues. No mutations. Can grow fairly well once roots take hold. I did do a hard defol though. Thanks to my sponsor for Pure Instinto. My SP 3000 + UV/IR45 from mars hydro will be used for flowering. After 2-3 more weeks of veg. My gorilla cookies from this breeder is in my flower tent 2 days now. When this one hits 40-45cm she'll be flipped too.

Welcome to my Garlic Cookies Diary, sponsored by Pure Instinto. Veg Days 36-42 Has been a good grow. Learnt a lot and pushed my plants to the max during their veg with a new technique. As if you look at my colas. There is hardly any nodes that grow more than a few cm away from the node. I had to remove the lowest fan leafs early to achieve these. And constantly try and control the way your nodes grow. As once I seen enough energy was taken in my the fan leaf below it and turned into a shoot that could hold her own. It was removed. I done my last defoliation this week. At the top leaving 2-4 main fan leafs that should be enough. I'll let her finish eating her grow for the next few days. I'll just be giving her water, "this will continue into next week. She got her last grow feed yday. As she'll be needing grow for at least until she flips. Which hopefully will be quick. I'll be using IR 730nm to put her to sleep. I've had great results with this helping flipping fems at least 50% faster. Making the nodes stay close to the stem. "This is the idea.. and if I've done it right. I should have colas. And not buds". But, that'll all depend on how well I can keep the temperature. I have lights off during the day now for these. She is been flipped now D43 as I said. This girl was constantly pruned to get the desired results. She's been really good to veg. Bounced back really well. And got some pretty even nodes. Have kept the ppm low, never hitting over 660 - 110 tap so 550ppm. She's 41cm at her last day of vegging. Been moved under my SP 3000 and will get daily doses of IR/UV45 from Mars Hydro to keep her vegging at 13.5hrs. This is changing the photochrome. Giving you a longer lighting of your fems increasing your DLI and also helping the flip process that can take up to 1-2wks depending where she's at when flipping. Speeding it up by at least 50%

Welcome to my Garlic Cookies Diary sponsored by Pure Instinto. Pre Flower Days 3-9 10-17 Days 49-56 Wk7 Days 57-63 wk8 Has been an easy pre flower. She grew really well. Didn't get any excess stretching. Nodes are building up with buds. But, I think colas are still going to elude me on this 1. Has a lovely shape. Should get close to an Oz of bud. Will start to implement Crop Steering "Read in GD journals". Will be starving them of water. To make the plant dig deep and push itself, and therefore giving bigger buds. Diet: have been keeping her on a light Short Flowering powder from Green House Seeds and will/have be/been using Terra Power Enzymes & Resin/Terp enhancer. Under my SP 3000 in a 2x3 space. I use my Mars-Hydro IR/UV45 to increase flowering time from 12hrs on/off to 13.5hrs/10.20m on/off to 13.45m/10.00m on/off. Thx to my sponsors from Pure instinto & Mars-Hydro and to all who viewed, liked &/R commented. Much appreciated. Look forward to seen your diaries.

Welcome to my Garlic Cookies Diary sponsored by Pure Instinto & Mars-Hydro. Flower Day 1-25 Days 64-88 wks 10-13 Plant is moving along nicely. Getting some small amounts of fade around the sugars as there isn't any fan leafs really. I did have her on GHF booster and got a new range of bloom boosters. And dropped the booster and kept the short flowering. Soon I'll get raw NPK and have full control over my NPK. But as is OK very happy with how shes turned out in her 7L pot, "that has around 6L of sub i reckon" water passes through it every day it dries out so fast, decided to let a few of my Diaries run a few weeks and added the wks altogether. All days are spot on. As I checked dates in details. Diet/Defoliation Kept her on Green House Feeding SF/PK booster. Dropped the booster for plagrons Green Sensation and a few of Atami products. Atami feeds are 380-400ppm "ph'ed" from 7.8 - 6.3. Green Sensation 340ppm 6.1ph. Also she's been getting Terpinator feeds that are around 400ppm 6.25ph. Lights SP 3000 & IR / UV 45 Getting some nice flowers from these lights. This plant sits under its less powerful side. Still hits the required umol on all fronts. Its used in a 50x100cm2 space. The IR / UV 45 has added so much to my crop (the last one & more so on this 1 as its been used in a more affectively) Thanks to my sponsors from Pure instinto & Mars-Hydro. Much appreciated to all who viewed, liked &/R commented. Look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for dropping by. COUPONS Mars-Hydro "ggs" 3% Discount Zamneisa "GROWITGD" 20% Discount.

Welcome to my Garlic Cookies Diary sponsored by Pure Instinto. Last wk 13 Ripening SF-1000 Days 92-98 Flower Day 26-32 flowering 50 or so Days. With IR every wk until the last. The process sped up by a 1.5/2 wks with 70hrs extra light over those 40 days. 1.5 during pre and 2 hrs up until now. Only when I check the trichs at the start of the wk. I seen how ripe was. As I was going off pistils and by breeder days rec for flowering. Not taking into account how much faster IR adds to your extra DLI. buds are rock hard. Not huge. But man, they're like rocks. Flushed last wk. And she threw herself into end of life. So, she a holding on. She was on heavy syns at the end of her life and finishers that have, have to be washed from the bud. I put under my SF1000 the last few days. To soften the blow she was getting from such a high co2/temp environment last wk. She was given a hard flush the start of this week. Myth about flushing or not. The stuff I was using. YOU HAVE TO FLUSH, so, she's been on water the past week. And believe it or not. I flushed the 1st time. Got it down to my tap ppm by 20L and threw the top on for good mes. Day 94 when she dried out. Ran 1L through her. Ppm was 600. Reflushsed, and only the last few days. Her leaves are given in. There's still nutrients left though. She got tested was still 250 yesterday. So, flushed again. And she's getting pult in a few hrs. As always. My diaries will be a few weeks behind so I can get a cure and test. And only then do I fairly rate. Thanks to Pure Instinto. And to all who viewed this diary. Much appreciated to the light provider Mars-Hydro, was a pleasure. And good results. Buds are rocks. Not huge. But rocks. A GRADE for sure. Won't have any shrinkage concerns here. Harvested Decided to pull her. She's fully done. Took the 2nd set of her nodes, rough trim & put to quick dry with the plant itself hang drying in shit weather 19-21.5c so she got fully watered before harvest and the RH is kept high at 65-70 to prolong the dry. There is a risk of mold. But with the heat an contest air exchange, its unlikely. Has a lovely cookies sweet smell with a bit of dankness. Also, a floweree smell. Which will go when dried. Really glad so far, even with my high temperatures, now knowing how to dry in summer, I've yet to get any hay smell, (signs the dry went badly against your quality of bud) can be rid of in a long cure but, and early signs of it. Still has an affect on strength. Read the process as something breaks down for it to get like that. And once it happens, there's no getting the potency level back. But, the smell yes. After 2-4 months, depending on the servaity of the hay smell. Here, I'm not sure what will happen yet. I've yet to push a plant to 100% cloudy and 40% ambers. lights P1000 50% strenght for Seedling 2-500 ppfd SP 3000 75-100% strenght for veg/90% of flowering 1000ppfd FC3000 100% strenght 5% early-mid 500ppfd coner SF-1000 5% Ripening 400ppfd corner DISCOUNT CODES Spider-Farmer "ggst: 3% Discount EU only MARS-HYDRO "ggs" 3% Discount WW Zamneisa "GROWITGD" 20% Discount.
