Purple Cookie Kush (Sensi Seeds)

Tuetenkleber Welcome to the diary of a magnificent Purple Cookie Kush! Just over a week ago, I put the seeds in water and there is absolutely NOTHING to complain about. All the seeds came up and after 2 days, they were already popping out. It was nice to see. I'm really curious about how this strain will turn out. I haven't read much about this plant yet, so I'm even more excited. Here, you'll find out everything, and you can ask questions at any time. Let's let the baby grow for another week, and then we can say more. I'm sure it will also be happy about the new lamp. See you next week, friends :)

Tuetenkleber Hello and welcome back to the Weekly Update! So, are you ready for the latest, most exciting developments? 😁 Let's kick things off with a LIGHT UPDATE. Those who have followed my recent grows know that I've been juggling multiple lights - DIY here, off-the-shelf there. It looked like a cable salad artwork and was as unwieldy as a giraffe doing the limbo. Achieving even lighting over 1.44 square meters was an impossible task. But hold on tight, friends, because that's all about to change! 😍 I've got myself a 4ch combo light. Here are the facts: 220W Growlight (high blue content) 220W Bloomlight (high red content) 35W Deep Red light 35W UV Starting next week, the light will be controlled by a fancy controller. This way, we can set fixed times and meticulously control all parameters via app and controller. A light with a mind of its own, basically. Right now, it's running at 70% Growlight and 30% Bloomlight. Why, you ask? Well, the vertical growth is currently rather modest. We have such a bushy plant that it deserves its own ZIP code. But since we want it to grow taller, it will get a bit more red light for a week. Let's see what this little gem does with that, 😁. And did you see that in the tent? It looks like I accidentally booked a ticket to the Caribbean instead of watering my plants, 😍 but no, it's not a tropical vacation vibe, 😂. We've really had trouble with fungus gnats in the last grows. Sure, that sounds like a case for the gnat police, but it's actually a serious problem. And since we rely on natural methods, all chemical gnat killers are off-limits! Those little pests weren't impressed by neem oil either, so a clever solution was needed. I got some bird sand, which is mainly made of quartz. When spread over the soil, fungus gnats and other pests can't lay their eggs in the top "dead soil layer." The larvae just starve and die. Before that, we also gave the plants a neem shower. And lo and behold... all gone! No gnat in sight. Now we're curious to see what the long-term test reveals. But now we have the problem that I can't see the soil anymore to gauge the right time to water. So we need to find a way to recognize the water needs of the plants without being able to see the soil. There will be an update on that next week. Something is already in the works, 😜. I also ordered some supports for the ladies, as we want to skip the net this year. Very sturdy metal poles are now sticking into the ground and can be equipped with a total of 3 rings in 3 sizes. This will make tying them up a piece of cake. And now, drumroll, to the plant... I'm growing Sensi seeds in the tent for the first time. I must say they make a very good impression. All 3 are at the same stage. Solid growth. They seem to be doing really well, and next week is already eagerly anticipated. Until then :)

Tuetenkleber Hey there, lovely friends. Let's start with the updates before we get to the good stuff. Soil sensors and green thumb: Last week, we couldn't see the soil because of the bird sand. It was like wearing a blindfold! But don't worry, I'm basically a plant whisperer and still have a good eye for when my plants are thirsty. To improve my "skills," I got myself two soil sensors that tell me what my plants need - temperature, pH level, soil temperature, soil moisture, and light intensity. It's like a fitness tracker, but for plants! After a few days, I can say: I have a knack for watering, it's as good as having a green thumb! Goodbye, fungus gnats: Drumroll! The fungus gnat problem is history! Bye-bye, you little pests! Thanks to the bird sand method, they are almost gone. A 99 percent success! A few stubborn ones are still trying to take their chance, but they have no idea what's coming for them. Bird sand is just magical. It acts like a fancy coat for the soil and keeps the gnats away. And since we water from the bottom, the sand stays nice and dry and untouched. The 3 in the last row are doing very well. All showing significant growth. Everything is very even. All 3 ladies have been topped by now. The color is getting stronger day by day, as they looked a bit yellowish last week. Next week will mainly be filled with tying down 😂 See you next week 😊

Tuetenkleber Light, humidifier, and power meter - the full program! Guys, hold onto your green hats because this week we had a plant upgrade festival! Here’s the whole thing in a fun and entertaining way: Upgrade 1: THE NEW LIGHT CONTROLLER Drumroll, please! The light controller is finally here! I’m telling you, this thing is so beautiful that it elevates the overall experience by 10,000%. With this gem, I have full control: Dimming function for all 4 channels Individual scheduling and dimming for each channel Sunrise and sunset simulation Spectrum control Temperature and humidity measurement There are many more features, but these are the truly RELEVANT ones. After spending some time with the device, I’m absolutely thrilled. The operation is super easy, and once you understand the menu, the rest is a piece of cake. We now have all the data readily available on a display, including control. A dream! We’re going to do some experiments in the future. Stay tuned, it’s going to be exciting! Upgrade 2: THE NEW HUMIDIFIER Hello, new humidifier! With a capacity of 6.5 liters and automatic humidity control from 50 to 90%, this little guy is just great. And it’s also very quiet! It does its job really well and makes life easier not just for my ladies, but for me too! Upgrade 3: THE NEW POWER METER I got sockets with power meters to finally find out how much electricity is being used here. After 4 weeks, I’ll present the data to you. Thanks to these Wi-Fi sockets, I can calculate everything perfectly, and they measure quite accurately. My phone always shows me the current consumption and load. Very handy to see what the lights are really pulling. Upgrade 4: THE NEW PALLET CONSTRUCTION Since my ladies have grown differently, they logically have different heights to the light. So, I built a small pallet construction to bring them all to the same height. Now it’s getting a bit tricky to take photos. Let’s see how long I can still take individual photos. But now for the best part... THE BABIES 😁 I have to say that these 3 are growing steadily. However, they are very airy. They’ve put on the biggest stretch compared to all the others. The red light has contributed a lot to that. I’m curious to see what these 3 will do since we’ve been in flowering since Thursday. That means next week there will be the first flowering update. It’s going to be an interesting 9 weeks with these 3 ladies. See you next week and Merry Christmas to you all 😘

Tuetenkleber Moin Moin dear friends and welcome back to the Last Update 2023! This week we had a very relaxed week. The renovations were well received and allow the ladies to stand nicely in the light. There’s no update this week for equipment or renovations. So we can dive right into the plants. This week we performed the Lollipopping. All the plants in the tent were pruned quite radically. Everything that doesn’t get light or is just vegetating in the lower regions was removed. All the plants handled it very well. So I can say that Sensi Seeds really puts on an excellent performance. Outstanding growth and all 3 are reaching for the light. We had a bit of a yellow tint to deal with this week, but that has since turned into a juicy green. See you next year, friends :)
