Red Hot Cookies

Bud_Wiser Red Hot Cookies was the biggest of the seeds, germinated fastest and looks most vigorous She is getting about 200PPFD of light Fed her 1EC of a A+B+Calmag mix pH'd to 5.8 I am keeping her on a seedling mat to keep the temperature high as the room temperature is quite cold

Bud_Wiser Red Hot cookies from Sweet Seeds, Beautiful genetics, I can already tell that it will be a strong plant The vigor is the best one in the tent I have a feeling that every time I look away she got bigger again Took transplant without issues

Bud_Wiser 3 weeks passed and Red Hot Cookies is doing great! I suspect the root zone EC raised because she is starting to show some signs of osmotic stress For the next week I am going to tone down the EC to restore balance Growth rate is normal so I am not going to take any drastic measures as flush Did a proper manifolding and she recovered quickly 💪

Bud_Wiser 2nd round of topping has been done this week as well as some unwanted node removal. She is slowly recovering and hopefully in about a week or two it will be ready to flip her to flower I ran into some nutrient problems in the tent, some imbalance that I am trying to fix now Nothing too serious, a bit of excess causing some lockouts I decided to go a little lower on EC to dilute the root zone buildup I cut on the calmag for next 2-3 reservoirs

Bud_Wiser Another week passed, The growth speed increased, it almost seem like they are getting bigger and bigger every day The nutrient imbalance signs on the old growth won't go away but the new growth looks promising With EC increase I also increased the PPFD to 450 In a couple of days another training session and maybe some defoliation too Happy Weekend Everyone! 😊

Bud_Wiser Flipped to flower 4 days ago The conditions are: PPFD 550, RH 60%, Temp 23-24C The grow rate is ok, she is a little pale but that's still the residue of problems from earlier Red Hot Cookies is a true monster It's vigorous, bushy with many side shoots I can already tell it's going to be a yielder Good Job Sweet Seeds!

Bud_Wiser Day 10 after flip to 12/12 Red Hot Cookies starting to show true colors I am happy that it seems she's the pink/purple pheno. She's going to be pleasant to the eye So far no problems. She's not a stretcher but she's the bushy one Smooth Sailing 😁

Bud_Wiser Stretch is coming to an end it's time for major defoliation Red Hot Cookies lost about 80% of foliage and half of the bud sites, still there is plenty left For some reason some of the plants in the tent are turning lime green, This is my first time growing in Plagron, wondering if you all have similar experience with the nutrient line Growth is as expected, leaves praying to the light. I don't think I will look for cause of the discoloration and just keep on schedule

Bud_Wiser on 23.02 I did a full system and grow medium flush, system cleaning and tent cleaning I suspected some root problems and I was not wrong. Flush brought some smelly yellow water out of the pot Flushed first with light nutrient mix with addition of 3% H2O2 Last few grows was such a hit and miss when it comes to root health in autopots I am considering swapping back to air pots and top watering for the next run Red Hot Cookies seems to be the most affected by the root issues that is clearly visible on the leaves. Although the stacking on the buds didn't stop, so I have hopes for some decent yield out of it

Bud_Wiser Red Hot Cookies bulk is a little disappointing, so is the resin production. Hopefully she will bulk some more The Pistils are turning orange the earliest on this plant in the tent The smell is mainly earthy/gassy I hope she will still bulk up more

Bud_Wiser Autumn arrived inside the tent. Red Hot cookies has a lot of her trichomes milky and a few amber on top buds The smell is outstanding, the cookies come out really strong in the terp profile in a mix of gas and sweetness with a slight earthy undertone The buds are on the smaller side but there are many of them I think she can go another week, maybe 10 days and she will be ready to chop :)

Bud_Wiser Last update before chop It's been quite a bumpy journey... Some problems occurred In the end I got some dense frosty buds out of the grow See you all on the next one that I start in May Thank you everyone that followed and liked. It means a great deal to me 🙏

Bud_Wiser I harvested the plants today I made some studio photos of some buds Hope you like them Thank you all for all the likes and follows I will update the post in May, after curing and testing with some thoughts on the strains and terpenes :)
