Cookies in the Parlour

Nice easy start for this girl. She was a free gift seed from FastBuds. So glad I got this actually because my other seeds failed to germinate and this was the only one I had left. Shes actually about 10 days from sprouting now but I've put it down as her first full week. Nice light feed coupled with a good veg environment. I've got high hope's for her. Plan will be to put her under a scrog so hopefully she will reward me with a nice yeild. After reading other people's diaries about this strain it's the one I'm most looking forward to growing. Wish me luck!

Steady week just like my other diaries. Shes going with the crowd. 2 weeks behind my other strains but taking it all in her stride. I've decided I'm not going to top this one as I know they don't grow very big and i dont want to stress her anymore than she already has been. Next week I'll be in better control of the environment and hopefully she will look completely different.

Another steady week and ever improving my environment. This Cream Cookies has now got the full power of one of my Maxibright 315w CHMs right above it thanks to the addition of an LED further up the tent. I'm hoping this gives it a better chance of becoming a star. I know these Cookies dont grow very big and it's more about the taste so I've decided not to top her and just bent the main stem down. That's about all the training she will get before going under the scrog. I've added a few close ups of the fan leaves to show some strange deficiency. I cant put my finger on what it could be so I'm hoping some of you guys can advise. Shes still growing strong and I've added some Calcium and a little Nitrogen to perk her up but still have this strange leaf damage. I'm adamant she will come round though and all being well make a great addition to my tent.

1 month and counting for my little Cream Cookies. Shes flying along considering i havent topped her. I've just plucked 2 or 3 of the biggest and oldest fan leaves off so that new growth can have it's fair share of light. Other than that shes powering along. Drinking 6 litres of water every 3rd day. A little over fed as shes just getting the same nutes as my other plants in the tent. I'm letting her ride out and not putting too much effort into her. Mainly because I'm focusing on my other plants this time round but also because I'd like to see what she can do without any special treatment. I'm hoping for another weeks veg and then flower to keep on schedule with the Pinapple and Six Shooters she is sharing the tent with.

Looking like the final week of veg for my lonely Cream Cookies. Starting to show some early signs of flower. I think I may have underestimated the potential size of this strain. I've left her a good 800x800 corner of the tent and shes nearly filled it out completely. I think with a couple weeks of stretch she will blend into the canopy nicely. As per my last few weeks diaries shes kind of getting what shes given. I'm putting most of my effort into the other 2 strains I'm growing so this cream cookies is already on flowering nutes and a strong dose at that. Despite it shes looking really good and taking everything thrown at her. I only have a single 75 litre water butt that I make up and feed every plant with so i dont have the time or facilities to give individual nutes to each plant. I know this isn't a great way to grow but it's how it's going to be untill these 6 plants harvest. I had a terrible germination success rate so popped this one 2 weeks after the others meaning shes a little behind. I still think shes going to do really well though and cant wait to add her to my collection.

Went a little crazy on the nutes this week so had to flush her out. Shes bounced back now so hoping it doesnt have any effect on the end product. Very easy to grow. No where near as bushy as my other plants so I'm not having to do any defoliation at all. She just keeps soldiering on. Looking forward to the next few weeks of flower.

Devastated :( I hate to do it but I think this poor cookie will be chopped down and binned. Unfortunately shes caved in under the stress of to high concentration of nutes. This all stems from the original problem of bad germination rate of seeds. Its caused me to have plants at different stages of growth which I havent had the time to properly and individually care for. She will make way for my baby Six Shooters who will be put in her place next week.

Only used the harvest function as a reference. Completely my fault as to why I've had to chop her down. Huge potential from this strain but I didn't have the time or facility to give her what she needed. I'm sure I'll revisit in the future.
