Hello everybody ! Glad to start my first diary but not my first grow.
The crops are 3 girls scout cookies growing alongside : eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, hot peppers, aromatics, tangerine and even a lemon tree ! All from seeds :).
The lights are 2 TGL 100 (cob cree 3590 100w each) from Todogrowled but for now I'll only use one and if there is some sunshine I'll try to put everybody out on the balcony for a few hours.
For now everything seems to go alright, seeds popped fast and are still in the root riots, I'll probably put them in their definitive container tomorrow.
see you around !
Day 2 : transplant :). You think this grow tent is a mess ? Well you're god damn right brother !! 11 liters container, light mix with coco (70/30) with recommended dose of startrex + 1 bio tab.
Day 3 : everything ok
Day 4 : took a bit of sunshine today (2-3 hours), watered about 1 liter each plant with roots stimulator.
Day 5 : slowly but surely :)
Day 6 : everything ok, leaves "praying" to the light, generally a good sign !
Day 7 : ending week 1 nicely.
week 2 here we go !
Day 8 : growing ok I guess ?! Watered 1.5l each with roots stimulator.
Day 9 : going just fine, not much to say !
Day 10: 😀
Day 11 : Steady growth !
Day 12 : autopilot, almost boring haha... Looks healthy I guess ?
day 13 : fine :)
day 14 : see you in week 3 !
Hello week 3 !
I think the grow is going nice so far. Kind of hassle free !
Those tgl 100 don't put a lot of heat so I don't even need to water, not since day 8 ! The plan is to not use any extra feeding apart maybe a bloom booster when we get to it...For now, less is more !
day 15 : go girls !
day 16 : forgot to take a picture !
day 17 : going great!
day 18 : nice growth ! Watered 1.5l each
day 19 : 2 of them showed their first pistil ! I started LST'ing gently one , the two others will follow tomorrow probably.
day 20 : LST time ! Hope I did not went too hard 😇
Day 21 : LSTin again today. Healthy but boi they are bushy and tight. I hope the LST won't prevent them from stretching, they need to "open" a bit haha.
See you in week 4 !
Day 22 : started using plant bend, very easy to use ! I think one of the crop is starting to stretch already...
Day 23 : still going good, some preflowering signs maybe ? Took some sunshine and watered 2l each.
Day 24 : going strong, secondary shoots are growing fast. Had to re LST, they are fighting it which is a good sign I guess !
Day 25 : watered 2l each and a very very light
defoliation.
Day 26 : LST ing just the secondary shoots as I would like the plants to stretch a bit, they are so bushy !! Not sure if I should do some defoliation ?
Otherwise still going strong.
Day 27 : ok I lied I'm LSTin like a mad man 🤣...
The one on the top right is drinking water way faster than the others, getting bigger also.
Still going good, secondary shoots having secondary shoots haha !
Day 28 : what a dumbass!! While LST I broke one tertiary shoots (not that bad), and the main shoot of the girl at the bottom grrrrrr, what an idiot! I really hope she gonna heal quick but this is really the worst time to break the trunk as they are starting to flower...
Watered 2l.
Here we go for week 5 and we are blooming for sure !
Day 29 : no picture
Day 30 : Here we go for the bloom ! Light defoliation. The one with the broken trunk is healing but slowly, I switched the one on the top right with the one at the bottom.
Day 31 : all good
Day 32 : forgot to take a pic ! Light defoliation, some LST and watered 2l each. The one with broken trunk is healing but i can't LST her main stem as it's too fragile and too stiff haha at the same time.
Day 33 : looks like the stretch is slowing a bit ? I like how is the canopy so far, could have been better if I did not broke the trunk of one, they are small tho, but bushy. Other than that they seem healthy & happy.
Day 34 : some LST and defoliation, hope they gonna like it, it was dense AF haha. I think harvest won't be before week 10 at least unless they start budding like crazy !
Day 35 : sunshine for about 4 hours, watered 2.5l. See you in week 6 !
Day 36 : sunshine for 3 hours and some defoliation/LST, looking great. I'll try to leave them alone as much as much as possible, stop defiolating and bending but not sure I'll be able to control myself haha.
Let's bud boiiiiii !
Day 37 : everything ok.
Day 38 : watered about 3l each and gave them some Bio Boost. I think I m going to give to some bloom nutrients next time.
Day 39 : a bit of pale green on young leaves, I don't like that 😅...
Day 40 : one is looking more and more pale green...
Day 41 : watered around 3l each and added some bio Flores for the first time, hoping that it might resolve the pale green look. Had to defoliate again (mostly the ones at the top of the pictures) as it was a massive cluster f***! Starting to bud, some thrichrome and a light smell !
Day 42 : ok so I think it's a bloom nute deficiency (so P & K). Since I added some bio Flores the pale green problem seems slowed/stopped, not sure if they gonna recover tho. Two of them are pointing to the lights again and the smell is stronger so I hope that it indicates a recovery. Will definitely not be shy on nute for my next watering.
Day 43 : no pic
Day 44 : watered 3l each with a good dose of biobflores, bioboost and I added some fresh soil with startrex on the surface (all mix) to try to fix that nute deficiency, specially on the one at the bottom. Other than that, they are starting to bud properly, smell is stronger and some thrichromes.
Day 45 : I might have stopped the bloodbath concerning the nute deficiency tho I don't think the most impacted one will gain it's original colour back... Took 5h of sunshine.
Day 46 : smell is getting stronger !
Day 47 : more smell, trichromes and buding !
Day 48 : same same !
Day 49 : budding slowly but surely ! Smell is stronger. The deficiency seems under control.
Day 50 : going on
Day 51 : watered with some nutes :)
Day 52 : smell is stronger
Day 53 : buding stronger ?
Day 54 : budding for sure !!
Day 56 : budding, still at least 2 weeks to go before harvest !
Hey sorry too much work I was not able to update ! I've started to flush this week, I hope to harvest at the end of week 10.
The smell is now very intense, very sweet and they are budding hard ! Still mostly clear trichromes at day 61.
Day 63 : a bit late to do but I made some defoliation and pulled the branches again, for light penetration but mostly to have a better air circulation. They were too congested and because the weather is very humid those days I had peak over 60% in the grow room... I'm checking for bud rot !!
Day 64 : watered, the smell is amazing... If I was in a hurry I could have harvested today but I feel that they are still budding and the trichromes can be more milky.
Day 65 : still swelling, the 2 on top of pictures have really hard rock dense buds ! They stack up nice, more and more greasy tho the larger leafs are not covered with some. Might go for 75 days, we'll see !
Day 66 : took some sunshine today ! Still packing, the smell is so strong even with the carbon filter... More milky trichromes.
Day 67 : watered, almost there I think... Will cut at day 72 or 73.
Day 68 : took 5h of sunshine today, don't forget that the sun is a 600w hps with infine light penetration and perfect spectrum hehe 😁. Smell is taming a bit and budding seems to slow down, the end is near !
Day 69 : no picture today sorry :(... But they look so nice I want to eat them right now haha 🤣!!
Day 70 : last watering and a bunch of pictures ! I think they are still producing some mass... They look amazing, smell is so nice. Mostly milky trichromes now so I'll cut soon as I don't want it to get too stony ! Probably at day 73 !
A great strain ! Very surprised of the quality and quantity for an autoflower !
They grew short,bushy and took very well the LST and some pain I inflicted them (broke the main stem haha). They eat a lot but apart from that a pretty flawless grow.
Beware the smell is LOUD AS HELL ! The curing was the most difficult part haha, every time I opened the jars it was smelling a heavy cookie gas... I had the neighbours (friendly fortunately) telling me that it was smelling over the door step so take your precautions !
The high is really strong but I must warn that i'm not an heavy smoker. For me its a perfect 50/50, you are cheerful, not sleepy at the beginning but your body is relaxed and you can chill but not sleepy until 2 hours. For me it's a perfect for after a day at work but when you still want to be a little active. Congrats to FastBuds !
Sorry I took time to update and I dont have a lot of photos, had a lot going on in my life including a change of place. So pictured is only one crop when I was trimmi,g Will end better next time !
Overall pretty stoked with that grow, 200g in 73 days with 200w is pretty cool !
The quality is very good even if I cant compare to other cookie strains.
The biotabs are amazing and I think really helped me in this grow and in the end result.
Cheers everybody, see you around !
Beautiful structure. Tons of nice bud sites on her. Should yield quite nicely. Great work. Keep doing what your doing and beat of luck with the rest of the grow.
Looks mighty fine to me my man! And this is just under 200w of cob?? That's insane. Is that a 4x4 as well? Cus I got a 4x4 and was debating cobs but thought I'd need four for that space! Obviously not if yours is as sweet as this. Keep up the good work!
@HazeyMan,
Hey dude ! Yes 2x100w of cob and it's a 2.6x2.6 (80x80cm) but to be honest I think one could be enough or at least it would be very decent. For a 4x4 I think 2x100w would be pretty nice or you could go 4x50/60w and have a better light distribution, your call. Of course I strongly advise to take some high quality ones 😉... But I'd say I'm pretty happy with those cobs, no noise because of the passive cooling, low heat, good penetration and good results.
I'll wait the final yield to celebrate but thanks for the kind words 😃!
My god this grow seemed to be awesome.I know that super heavy smell like any DIY Store in first few weeksof curing,than nice woody smell and creamy taste.same high,same aromes.same phenotype.congrats
@Ktims420, thank you ! I have to say I'm pretty happy so far, I'm trying not to anticipate too much about the final yield and just enjoy the last days of bloom !
