Orange Cookies x Nicole

~ Orange Cookies x Nicole ~ I really have not been able to gather much information at all on this strain which, in my mind, makes it even more exciting to grow it! What information I have been able to find about this Orange Cookies x Nicole is as follows: Orange Cookies from Franchise Genetics (Sonic's Orange x Cookies & Cream [Starfighter x Girl Scout Cookies]). Nicole Kush from the Marimberos Collective teamed with DNA Genetics ([MK Ultra x Blue Satellite] x [Shishkaberry x Blueberry]). Indica-dominant Height: Short - Medium Yield: Medium - High, 400 - 500 gr/m2 indoors. Flowering: 8 - 9 weeks THC: Very high - 20%+ Taste: Complex, citrus, creamy, earthy. Effect: Potent, relaxing, long-lasting. Sorry I couldn't provide any more detailed Intel on this strain but I have a sneaking suspicion that I'll have a bunch when this run is over... Let's get it on! 😁👍 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~ This will be a 100% Organic grow ~ Initially seed was planted directly into the medium. ~ Planted into a 1qt. plastic pot filled with that was hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 6.5 ph. ~ Seed germinated for three days before breaking ground. ~ Grown in a 10g fabric pot filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite amended with Xtreme Gardening Mykos, Gaia Green 4-4-4 (2tbsp/g) / 2-8-4 (1tbsp/g) and 30% Worm Castings. ~ Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with Gaia Green slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~ Straight well water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ~ Grown under HLG 650R's with a 18/6 light cycle for vegetation, then 12/12 to flower with supplemental UVA added during the last weeks of flower.

The Seedsman Orange Cookies x Nicole is experiencing the same issues as two of the other strains in this run, starting with discoloration on just the leaf edge points, then progressing throughout the leaf starting at the tip, causing the leaves to yellow and dry out. Looking back at the readouts from both my AC Infinity and TrolMaster Controllers I think the issues were caused by too wide a fluctuation in the temperature, RH, and consequently the VPD which remained way higher than I usually have it. The cause was due to me not using an A/C unit to maintain a constant temperature in the tent, instead relying on cold air being brought in from outside via an in-line fan feeding through a 6" hose. While our weather was cold at the start of the run temp's weren't an issue. But as our weather became unseasonably warm for this time of year, the temperatures climbed up to a max of 84℉ during lights on. I will say that her flowers are getting incredibly frosty which may be in part due to the additional stress placed on her from the leaf issues and the temperature. I will say that, if it was not for the ugly leaf discoloration/damage she'd be looking epic with her frosty flowers! Also, she now has a penetrating aroma coming off her that really mandates a good Carbon Filter for sure! 4/6- Today the Seedsman Orange Cookies x Nicole was watered with straight well water that was ph'd to 6.7 @ 72℉. The Orange Cookies x Nicole is getting close to being ready to go dark for 48-72hrs and I've been flushing her for almost a week now. She is fading nicely, is super frosty, with her trichomes just about where I want them. Her flowers are loaded with white pistils, with just a few beginning to turn dark. 4/8- I didn't water today and only checked the Seedsman Orange Cookies x Nicole's trichomes which now are about 80-90% milky. I will continue doing a check of her trichomes daily, looking for them to get to 80-90% milky before placing the Orange Cookies x Nicole in the dark for 48-72hrs to boost the trichome production before she's chopped, and hung to begin the drying/curing process. 4/10- I'm pushing the envelope on this one and I'm going to be patient and give her a few more days to allow time for her trichomes to develop a bit more. I went ahead and watered the Orange Cookies x Nicole with 1g of straight well water that was ph'd to 6.7 @ 72℉. Seven weeks of flower done for the Seedsman Orange Cookies x Nicole, and Week Eight should be the finish for this beautiful lady! 💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life!
