Cookies Gelato cuts #1

fanatic_grower_87 Starting a new log, but kicking it off straight from flip since veg is pretty much the same for everyone and the flower stage is where the real action happens. Ran into the usual thrips issue early on, but hit them with Mospilan and they are completely cleared out now. All good. The leaves are a bit pale right now because they haven't really had the chance to fully feed on nitrogen yet, plus they already stretched and are moving into flower. Everything will bounce back and be on point soon.

fanatic_grower_87 Today is Day 25 of flower. I’ve dialed in the EC and sorted out those typical coco issues. She’s finally hitting her stride with nitrogen and doesn’t look washed out like she did in the previous weeks. The buds are stacking up nicely and putting on some serious size, everything is looking spot on. 👌💪

fanatic_grower_87 Day 32 of flower. Flushed and reset the EC yesterday because it was simply needed. Coco is prone to this and you have to keep a close eye on it. Other than that, the girls are looking totally fine, and catching that purple tint is completely normal for this pheno. They aren’t missing a thing. 👌💪

fanatic_grower_87 Day 35 12/12 👌

fanatic_grower_87 Day 41 12/12 😍👌

fanatic_grower_87 I am absolutely thrilled with how this run is turning out. These Cookies Gelato are swelling up beautifully, stacking solid rock-hard buds, and the diamond trichome frost is just unreal. The density is on a whole new level compared to my previous runs. But shit happens even in a well-managed garden. Due to the extreme bud density, I spotted a tiny spot of bud rot (Botrytis) inside one of the main tops this weekend. Luckily, I caught it at the absolute beginning. I immediately, cranked the exhaust fan to maximum, and rearranged the clip fans to blow directly over the canopy to boost air circulation. Everything is resolved, and I’ll keep monitoring to see if anything has changed. 👊💪
