Mandarin Cookies R1 v2, Biscotti Mintz, Runtz x Layer Cake Clones | AC Infinity EVO8 730W | Florganics Living Coco

Greetings from beautiful Bavaria in southern Germany. Today, I am starting a new run in my AC Infinity Tent. This time, we are running clones of Runtz x Layer Cake, Biscotti Mintz & Mandarin Cookies R1 v2. Unfortunately, I forgot to take some pictures when the plants arrived, so I will start to document after I transplanted them in the larger 26l Pots. I am growing organically in my own "Living Coco" substrate as I did one time before. My plan is to keep the ladies in veg for a total of 4 weeks and then switch them into flower. Happy Growing :)

I did some HST & LST this week. I topped the plants once more and used some wires and LST Clips. The plants are doing good & I will keep adding more LST Clips to the plants over the next weeks. If you have a 3D printer, you can print as many of these Clips as you need nearly for free. As you can see, we have some yellow leafs on the plant. I think, it is a CalMag deficiency due to the coco, but I will measure the run-off over the next week to be safe.

Week 3 of Veg Last week I had some issues with the nutrients in my organic substrate as we could see by checking the leaves, so I started measuring the drain of the plants. I saw that I had a massive problem with my EC in my living coco (EC about 8.0) so I started flushing them with reverse osmosis water and they slowly started to recover. They are not in good shape yet as you can see, but we found the problem an started solving it. I think they will recover soon. I am not very good at training clones as you can see, but when we start installing the trellis nets, I think we will be able to cover the whole tent with the SCROG. I will probably go for one other week of veg before sending them into flower to recover them as good as possible from the nutrient burn. The PH is still to high in the drain, so I will keep flushing it down over the next week.

Plants recovered from the nutrient burn pretty nicely. Will send them to flower now, lets see how they will fill up the space in the tent over the next two weeks.

First Week of Flower Flipped the lights to 12/12 on 28.11.2024 They are currently in the stretching phase, so I do nothing but water with dechlorinated tap water ph'd to 6,0. Once a week I feed the plants with a home-brew tea with wormcastings and some bat guano. They recovered really well from the overfeeding and filled out the whole tent within the first week I love it!!!

Week of of flower finished Here the recap of the week. Still watering only PH 6,0 water and 2x a week feeding with worm compost tea. Stretching phase should be over now, we can already see some bud development. One more week until the first defauliation.

Week 3 of Flower Update From day 14 - 20 I did feed once a day with about 2.5l per plant. They are thirsty as fuck. I am still feeding some home brewn compost tea twice a week. As you can maybe see I did my first defoliation cycle on day 21. The Biscotti Mintz and especially the Mandarin Cookies were very nice to defoliate. Not like the Runtz x Layer Cake. The many small leaves made it very difficult and I had to remove very much leaf material from them. I am still not quite happy about the outcome of the Runtz x Layer Cake. Usually I like to remove more. A second defoliation will be on day 40 of flower. But overall, I am still pretty happy with the results so far, and I think, it will be a very nice harvest. See you guys next week ^

End of Week 4 of Flower We can see some great bud development that happened over the last seven days. Overall, the plants are super healthy and strong. Same feeding like last week, I water them every day with about 2 liters. Every second day I feed them my home brewn tea. We can already see some nice trichome production on the sugar leaves. I am super excited how the next 2-3 weeks will go. I think this will be a great run. See you guys next week

Day 35 of Flower – Beginning of Week 5 The Plants Are Thriving! It’s the beginning of Week 5, and the ladies are looking absolutely fantastic! They’re standing tall, healthy, and happy in their current environment. Watering Routine pH 6.0 water, Once a day, About 2-2.5 liters per plant. The simplicity of this routine is keeping them in great shape. Feeding with a Special Treat I’m still feeding them with my home-brewed compost tea, and the results speak for themselves. The plants are loving this natural boost, and it’s amazing to see how frosty they’re becoming. Plans for Next Week Next week, I’ll be defoliating them a little bit to improve airflow and light penetration. Let’s keep those buds thriving! Nugshots Galore! I’ve included some nugshots this week, because these ladies are already looking frosty as fuck The resin is building up beautifully, and the buds are starting to show their full potential. Stay Tuned for More Frosty Goodness It’s only Week 5, but things are getting exciting. The coming weeks will be even more rewarding as the buds swell and mature.

Beginning of Week 6 Still doing the same as the last weeks, I feed them once a Day with 3l 6.0 Water and some compost tea. About 3 Weeks to go... The Mandarin Cookies are looking and smelling insane. Very dense buds, covered heavily in trichomes It smells a little like a nice Biscotti crossed with some Kosher Kush. I love it
