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. Iβve dialed in the EC and sorted out those typical coco issues. Sheβs finally hitting her stride with nitrogen and doesnβt 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. ππͺ

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 arenβt missing a thing. ππͺ
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 Iβll keep monitoring to see if anything has changed. ππͺ
Final Review: Cookies Gelato (RQS) β Absolute Powerhouse
This grow cycle is officially at its end, and Cookies Gelato has proven to be an absolute elite strain in every single aspect. From the very first week of vegetative growth up to the final chop on day 57, these plants performed like a high-end machine with a ferocious genetic drive.
Key Highlights:
β’ Insane Yield & Biomass: The flower density is spectacular. The plants developed heavy, rock-hard, diamond-frosted spears from top to bottom. Even the lower branches produced massive, compact nuggets with zero fluffy popcorn waste.
β’ Top-Tier Potency & Effects: The resin production is off the charts. The trichomes formed a thick, silver-white crust, delivering a devastating, heavy hybrid effect. It provides an incredible, deep physical relaxation combined with a sharp, creative mental drive. A true connoisseur-grade smoke for experienced users.
β’ Unmatched Uniformity: Cultivating 22 plants in a SOG setup showed how stable this strain is. Every single plant grew exactly identical to the next, maintaining a perfectly even canopy and responding beautifully to the heavy feeding schedule.
Conclusion:
Cookies Gelato is a pure commercial and quality jackpot. It has an immense production potential and delivers a pristine final product that stays hard as flint after drying. I will definitely be running this legendary strain again in one of the upcoming cycles.
What a way to wrap up a grow! π Thanks for sharing such a detailed review and documenting the whole journey. Great to hear Cookies Gelato has earned a place in your next run. Enjoy ! π±π
