Cookies Kush

This grow is a Pure Miracle for me! ☆☆☆ I have so big hopes, but such a tiny chance even to see my seeds germinated , because: - The seeds i had for these run - were 4 years old, stored in the circumstances under the will of God (they were stored in the pocket of my backpack for all these years) - All the fertilizers i have - are not new (i used them in my previous grow circles) and they are also 4yo, Thus, you can imagine , i was convienced that all my stuff had expired long before. GERMINATION: - For this run i took 1 Gorilla Zkittlez and 1 Cookies Kush , and put both seeds into separate 100ml glasses of water with 2drops of 3% peroxide - 48h later the Cookie showed a very tiny root, and Gorilla just cracked. - i was too happy and hurried to put them both directly into the prepared coco. And unfortunately, for Gorilla it was too early( she did't pop up. - Cookie showed herself 48h later On DAY 5 we faced the PH problems , because my phmetr was not working properly, that caused CalMag issues, I re-potted her into 2.7 litre pot to prevent the problems. Also, i bought new PHmetr by Milwaukeee, its a very nice and exact thing

WEEK 2 Here we go on our 2 week, NUTRITION: This week i decided to change the nutrition schedule: - seized CalMag - increased the Base nutes - added Great White and Bio Root to help Cookie to occupy the new pot. Also, im still not sure about the qulity of my fertilizers , as i said earlier, all of them were opened 4 years ago. The local grow shop told me, that for mineral nutes the guaranteed shelf life is 3 years, for some organic, vitamin and etc supplements its just a year. GROWTH: The growth of Cookie is steady and absolutely normal for coco raised plant, She does all her things done, without any delays. By the end of the week we had 2 pairs of true leafes, and she is not tall plant as i mentioned , the nodes between her pairs of leafes are very short. I keep the distance between the plant and the lamp 85cm - want to make her stretch. The one thing i figured out this week - that she became a bit yellowish between the veins - just a bit, and by the end of the week the 1st pair of her leafes became curly. I did nothing with it and decided to wait. ♡

Ooops ... i accidentally erased pics from our 1 WEEK , i add them one more time to keep the chronic clear So, its our WEEK 3 , and it was not easy GROWTH: - the yellow between the veins progressed - the leaves become more curly - tiny brown spots appeared It was Cookies demand for CalMag, the symptoms are classy and easy to diagnose. Despite of calmag def, she kept on growing nicely. By the end of W3 i started to LST her. By the way, this plant is not easy to lst. She doesnt stretch at all, she is short with huge leaves. NUTRITION: Because of CalMag issues i changed the nutrition scheme : - increased CalMag - the Base nutes at the same level - foliar sprayed her three times: - with Hesi Supervit - with Revive by AN - withe some Spanish fertilizer for vegetables veg period. ♡

So far, WEEK 4 Our W4 was very hot - temperature raised more then +35 And replete WATERING: This week i arranged autowatering, and screwed with timer Thus , in 24h all my 50litres of solution were wasted. The Cookie was happy, she grew big palm- style leaves and darkned because she pigged out with nitrogen. Half of the day after solution was wasted she stood without watering and got dry a bit, because the pot is small and she needs lots of water. Now the regime of watering is: 1.2litres per each 3hours NUTRITION: This week i added full-dose base nutes , its 1.5ml/l And added Rhino skin, 1ml/l The ppm rate was 530 After over watering i cut the base nutes to 1ml/l level , thus our feeding was about 420 ppm and its enough for her. TRAININGS: We proceed the LST, but as it seems to me it was not the best choice for this particular plant, cuz the nodes are very short and the structure is very leafy, the colas are short too, so i bend her as much as possible to make the spiral shape. GROWTH: The Cookie is not that easy to grow, as it was told in strain reviews, she demands lots of attention and care, And she is a very talkative plant, of course she speaks her plant language , but it is very clear to understand. This week i lowered the lamp to 35cm over the bush , because my strategy with big distance between plant and lamp didnt work. The next day Cookie showed pale newborn leaves with yellowish edges, firstly i thought that itwas nitrogen def , but then understood she was light burnt, soi raised the lamp to 45cm distance , and she was ok. In any case i need to mention she doest slowher growth, just manifesting directly what she needs. What else to say, the smell is AMAZING , she is absolutely not stinky plant, When i lst her , she always smells pungent and distinct Lemon Citrus smell. Adorable. ♡

The 5th WEEK Oookay , whats new this week we got to tell: - its our 1st 12-12 week, thus the Cookie had full month 31 day veg time - we moved to the bigger 60x60cm tent with 200w lamp - all this week we had shitty filthy tap water around 300ppm - also we changed the nutrition into pre bloom scheme to boost the flowering stage ☆ By the end of the week still no signs of blooming, she didnt show her gender, waiting impatiently.. I defoliated the Cookie twice thisweek , because she's very leafy plant and our next def takes place 21 day after ☆ Next week i hope the situation with water becomes normal, i really dont know how to feed her with filthy saulty tap water( And i guess we will try SCROG technique, cuz i got new web for it

GROW WEEK 6 || BLOOM WEEK 2 Whats new: - Cookie showed her gender on day 7 after switching 12/12 - also she demonstrates a bushy type growth , lots of leaves despite of defoliation - I scroged her by the end of the week and noticed lots of thin potentially popcorn product colas ( there are only 3 strong big colas , including main cola, Thus i guess , i tend to have lots of popcorn buds.. - the blooming develops slowly, by the end of the week i found few pistils on different colas Okey then, i want to make a NUTRIENTS REWIEV: As i mentioned below, all of my basic nutes and stims are 4 year old, Most of them are by Advanced Nutrience, So for now i can say that: - both parts of basic nutes work OK, but ph perfect system doesnt work, ph raises dramatically from 5.8 to 6.8 grade by the end of the week - B52 - absolutely rotten, smell was disgusting, goes to the litter - Revive smells ok, but when using it as spray it leaves chemical burnt on leaves - Great white expired a year ago , but in any case the root system of the plant grows great so i guess it works. It also concerns to Bioroots by GHE - this week i added Bud Ignitor , cannot say anything wrong about it, lets see how it works

GROW WEEK 7 || BLOOM WEEK 3 Whats new: - had problems with AN bloom base, Cookie become weak and stretch to much, so i immediately made DIY nutrition - the really snail mode in blooming, and its awkward cuz in the passport of the strain it was said her blom cycle takes 56-60 days .. - another awkward thing is that during blooming the smell is very weak - i even do not use a filter.

GROW WEEK 8 || BLOOM WEEK 4 At least, the blooming started - we started the week with defoliation, Cookie is still very bushy and leafy - also i cut the ppm rate because of defoliation - trichomas still didnt appear

GROW WEEK 8 || BLOOM WEEK 5 The Cookie still did stretch this week Now she is 70 cm tall Its absolutely unexpected growth Cuz i wished to controll her size by a very small pot - its just 2.7litres But as the plant shows the strategy doesnt work This week some trichomas appeared , But the smell is still weak , she smells like a plain plant , not like blooming cannabis. I can smell her taste only when i touch her leaves - then she smells like children cough syrop with orange taste Also, i raised the ppm rate at 700 And defoliated some big fan leaves

GROW WEEK 10 || BLOOM WEEK 6 The very stressful week, The temperature raised dramatically, and my air conditioner doesnt cope with it.. The indoor temperature raises +31 C at the peak.. We got overfeed and i cut the ppm rate at 500 Also , i decided to implement new supplement into our nutrition in order to improve the taste and increase the smell And got screwed.. this new supplement includes lots of organic mollassa and all my 50litres of solution got rotten in 2 days.. Fortunately , i visited the Cookie and figured it out. I rapidly flushed the pot with clean water with enzimes and root stimalator and changed all the the solution in reservoir. I hope that will not stress the Cookie a lot.. Also, the Cookie stopped her stretch at the point of 73cm tall and started to gain bud mass

GROW WEEK 11 || BLOOM WEEK 7 Our 7 bloom week was not easy Several blackouts during the week, The last one was for 10 hours.. Anyway, the Cookie keeps doing her things well, She makes nice trichomas covering , not as frosty as mounting tops, but quite nice. Also need to mention the colas structure - it tends to be so called mono- bud colas , the buds are tight and very close to each other. Also, the are few brownish pistils - thus i make an educated guess that my plant step into the late bloom stage, i think we have two- three weeks b4 harvest. Also i found the way to add my taste supplement - i add it by manual watering , when i visit the bush.

GROW WEEK 12 || BLOOM WEEK 8 Another week - another drama This week we suffered from filthy water -plain tap water ppm rate was about 300 And as tradition, one short blackout for about an hour.. And idk if the reason was that , or the reason was i cut the ratio of magnesium and calcium salts in my solution, or the reason was the lifespan of my Cookie moves to the end - but in any case , some brown spots appeared on the top leaves of the plant Also, i made changes in our nutrition - added some bloom boosters by HESI : they are PK 13 14 and Boost in order to boost Cookies blooming stage. So, twice a week i give her manually the following solution: Taste 2ml/l Boost 2ml/l Enzimes 2ml/l Root amino stim 2ml/l As it conserns to buds - seems that nothing had changed, most of pistils are still white, But colas became more heavier And the smell became more intense Trichomas covering is also very nice. I like the Cookie very much, she is a very beautiful and very strong forgiving everything plant. I wish myself goodluck for the next week.

GROW WEEK 13 || BLOOM WEEK 9 Despite of using the PK boosters to speed up the blooming , theCookie still does not hurry up, She looks bridal white , and still creates some new pistils, i made close up pics of her top colas to watch the progress for the next week. I thought that the following 10th week of blooming would be the last for her , But now im not that sure. The buds gain the weight and now when i open the box , some colas fall from the tent, the scrog helps to hold them. Also i defoliated her a bit in the beginning of the week to provide more light to the bottom flowers. So in the conclusion, we still have troubles with water , i was lucky to catch a moment of pure 60 ppm water in the beginning of the week, and filled the reservoir , But the reality is that for the summer autumn season we will have filthy water , Because the temp is incredibly hot , and the mounting ice melts too fast , so the city purifying system cannot cope with it. The consequences of climate crisis became so obvious .. feel so sorry for the planet(

GROW WEEK 14 || BLOOM WEEK 10 Im sorry mama , im still blooming Thats our motto for the next couple of weeks) The unprecedentally long flowering for the indica-dominant plant, with short blooming stage 56-62d according to the the strain passport. I can only make a guess that its some particular phenotype i have, And also need to mention she was very slow in her pre-blooming period, and now she takes her time, Or maybe i love this plant so much, and dont want to separate with her Anyway , i give her one more week , And then c .. WHATS NEW THIS WEEK : Her smell changed dramatically It became very intence and It became like creamy orange, with no chemical undertones she had all the time, I like it very much.

GROW WEEK 15 || BLOOM WEEK 11 Begun to flash the Cookie and prepare her to the harvest Still lots of white pistils , but i will not wait any more , cuz i suspect the mold to appear Had to cut one of the mail colas to check my guesss

Cured for 1 month, nice trichomas covering, smell good, nice THC level (not for beginners), easy to grow, long cycle, needs long term veg time.
