Cookies Haze

draintherockjohnson Here’s my second grow. After already harvesting my first batch this year, I wanted to try to do some things better here. So a bit more time and better training. Cookies Haze (Kannabia) Current status: 09/23/26: Seeds germinated between damp cloths. 09/24/26: Planted in soil. 09/25-26/26: Both plants come to the surface. 09/27-29/26: Constant growth in both plants. 09/30-10/01/26: Both plants continue to grow steadily. The roots are already reaching the pot wall in both. End of the first veg week: So far, both plants have been in 0.3-0.4l pots and were watered with distilled water (about 0.02-0.04l). Nutrients will follow in the coming days. The light cycle was at 24/0 throughout the week and will now be adjusted to 18/6. Cookies Haze No.1: Grows very compact with broad, short leaves. Cookies Haze No.2: Leaves elongated, narrow. Fan leaves not as well developed compared to No.1. Overall, the plant seems to be about 2 days behind.

draintherockjohnson ... Current Status: 01.-02.10.26: Changed the light cycle to 18/6. 03.10.26: - 04.10.26: Both plants repotted just before the dark phase (1.0l Biobizz Light Mix each). Soil mixed with worm humus (about 20%), added about 2 teaspoons of mycorrhiza around the root ball and worked it into the new soil. Watered the soil (pH 6.5, about 200ml, no drain). 05.10.26: Watered with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.5, about 120ml). 06.10.26: Both plants showing strong lateral growth. Watered (pH 6.5, 150ml, light drain). 07.10.26: - 08.10.26: Soil moisture about 48h after watering is at 3-4 (out of 10) depending on the depth of measurement. Watered with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.5, 200ml, medium drain). End of the second veg week: The temperature ranged from 22°C-26°C with a relative humidity of 66%-69%. The VPD was at 0.8-1.1 (briefly at 1.2). The PPFD was at 400 µmol/m²/s. Both were watered with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.5, about 120ml-200ml), each with drain. Both plants had no issues after repotting and continued to grow strongly. A light spot was discovered on one of the older (3-finger) leaves. However, both look identical and are not changing yet. The lower (or first) leaves on plant No. 2 are slightly darker. Plant No. 1 continued to grow very compact and reached the edge of the pot around day 13 (after germination). Plant No. 2 continued to grow strongly laterally but was still 2 days behind in the development of the main stem. The lowest shoots, however, were already further along than those of plant No. 1.

draintherockjohnson ... Current Status: 09.10.26: A few fungus gnats visible on the yellow traps. 10.10.26: Plant #1 with four clearly defined nodes. Plant #2 with three distinct nodes and the fourth in development. 11.10.26: Leaves on both plants not as upright at the end of the light phase as in previous days, with darker green and slightly yellow tips on some leaves. Isolated white roots already visible through the holes in the bottom of the pot. Soil moisture in the lower area around 1-2. Watered with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.5, about 200ml, without drain) & SF nematodes just before the dark phase. 12.10.26: Substrate already rooted in both. Strongly rooted in the lower area. Roots in both are white. Second repotting (4.5l Biobizz Light Mix each, lightly moistened) before the dark phase. Soil mixed with worm humus (about 20%), about 2 teaspoons of mycorrhiza added around the root ball, incorporated into the new soil and watered (pH 6.5, about 300ml, without drain) & SF nematodes just before the dark phase. Leaf tucking on the upper leaves. 13.10.26: Both plants without problems after repotting. Slight leaf tucking on the upper leaves. Top layer of soil lightly moistened before the dark phase (water, pH 6.5, about 100ml). 14.10.26: Plant #1 with five clearly defined nodes. Plant #2 with four distinct nodes and the fifth in development. Topping done above the third node, lower leaves removed, and side shoots at the second node bent down with hooks. Watered with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.5, about 1000ml, with slight drain) during the light phase. 15.10.26: Leaves upright again after topping and growth on the side shoots. End of the third veg week: The temperature was in the range of 21°C-25°C and a relative humidity of 65%-68%. The VPD was at 0.8-1.1. The PPFD was at 480 µmol/m²/s. Both were watered with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.5, about 300ml-1000ml), with drain. Both plants had no issues after the second repotting and continued to grow strongly. Light spots on the older (3-finger) leaves without further changes. Nematodes were watered against fungus gnats, and the number of gnats was reduced as a result. Topping and subsequent LST or preparation for mainlining was done on the 20th veg day. Both plants the next day again with upright leaves and growth on the side shoots.

draintherockjohnson ... Current Status: 16.10.26: Both plants have grown about 2 nodes/week so far. Hooks on the lower side branches adjusted. Upper side branches on plant No.2 also secured down with hooks. 17.10.26: Lower side branches on both plants already have two nodes each. Hooks positioned further outwards here. Upper side branches on both have one node each. Upper side branches on No.1 bent down with hooks. Watered at the start of the light phase with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.5, about 800ml, without drain). 18.10.26: Leaves appear a bit thick/soft at the start of the light phase. Humidity in the past few days during the dark phase was at times 70% and VPD at a minimum of 0.7. Smaller spots with waterlogging on two leaves each dried off with a tissue and humidity in the tent reduced. Removed the lower fan leaves on the main stem. Continued LST on the side branches and bent hooks down further on both plants. 19.10.26: No.1 & No.2: Formation of the third node on the lower side branches and formation of the second on the upper stem. Individual roots visible at the bottom of the pot. Hooks on upper side branches of No.1 positioned further outwards. Removed the lower fan leaves and lower small shoots (first node) on both plants and positioned leaves away from the center. Increased PPFD to about 520 µmol/m²/s. 20.10.26: Both plants stood back up after removing the fan leaves and small shoots. Side branches on No.1 brought almost to the same height through LST. Side branches on No.2 already at the same height. Slight lignification already present on both plants up to the first node. No.1 has very bushy growth. Removed two inward-growing leaves on the upper side branches for better air circulation and trained lower leaves on both plants outwards with hooks. Leaves on both plants feel normal again and are no longer swollen. Watered at the start of the light phase with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.5, about 900ml, with slight drain). 21.10.26: Leaves on both plants are growing very strongly. However, the shoots are not growing back as quickly as before. Individual roots also visible at the edge of the pot. Fan repositioned to avoid waterlogging. Topping performed on both plants. Upper side branches on both only at 3 nodes and therefore already cut above the second. Additionally removed small side shoots and inner fan leaves. Watered with water (pH 6.5, about 500ml, without drain). 22.10.26: More intense leaf tucking to expose new shoots. End of the fourth veg week: The temperature ranged from 20°C-27°C (Ø25°C) and humidity ranged from 65%-71% (Ø66%). The VPD was at 0.7-1.2 (Ø1.0). The PPFD was at 500-520 µmol/m²/s. Both were watered with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.5, about 800ml-900ml), with drain. Both plants had no issues after topping and manifolding, and the side branches were trained outwards throughout the week. The different growth is now very evident in both plants: No.1 is very compact with shorter internodes and wide, short leaves. No.2 has longer node distances and very large fan leaves. This week saw slightly increased humidity and light waterlogging on individual leaves. Humidity was then reduced and fan leaves were additionally removed from both plants. Further topping, defoliation, and LST of the side branches also followed.

draintherockjohnson ... Current status: 23.10.26: Leaves had lifted back up the day after leaf tucking. Stems showing slight purple discoloration. Placed a second fan in the tent to further prevent stagnant air and actively lowered the RH. More leaf tucking and securing the leaves with hooks. Watered with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.5, approx. 900ml, with slight runoff). 24.10.26: New side branches showing visible growth, though a little slower than before. Pot of No. 1 heavily rooted in the lower section; No. 2 fully rooted, with circling roots forming in both plants. 25.10.26: Third transplant (7.5l Biobizz Light Mix each, lightly moistened) shortly after the dark period. Mixed worm castings into the soil (approx. 20%), worked 50g of mycorrhiza into the new soil for each plant, and watered with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.5, approx. 1000ml). 26.10.26: Side branches on both plants showed clear growth after transplanting and watering. Noticed slightly pale leaf tips. Some older leaves had slightly downward-pointing tips. New leaves looked healthy, with no other issues. Reduced PPFD from 500-520 to approx. 480-500 µmol/m²/s. Turned two vertically growing stems on the upper side branches horizontally on each plant and secured the new shoots with hooks. 27.10.26: Small shoots had lifted back up after the dark period. Removed four older fan leaves from each plant and repositioned the hooks on the branches. All branches are now at the same height (approx. 10-11cm). Soil moisture at 2-6 (out of 10), depending on measurement depth. Watered with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.4, approx. 1750ml, with slight runoff) and measured the runoff. Input values: 910 mS/cm, 455 ppm Output values No. 1: 4280 mS/cm, 2140 ppm Output values No. 2: 3740 mS/cm, 1840 ppm Values are significantly elevated. Planning to monitor the leaves further and increase the watering interval (then use distilled water). 28.10.26: By the end of the light period, the leaves had generally lifted back up. Tips still drooping, and some leaves had raised edges. New shoots still pointing upward, with clear growth and the first node forming. Now finally positioned with hooks. 29.10.26: Drooping leaves unchanged. Pale spots have not grown larger. All new side branches now have their first node fully formed. Some are already approx. 2cm long. End of the fifth veg week: Daytime temperature remained unchanged at an average of 25°C, with RH lowered to an average of 64%. VPD averaged 1.0 (reaching 1.2 in places). PPFD was 500-520 µmol/m²/s and was lowered slightly to 480-500 µmol/m²/s over the course of the week. Both plants were watered with Biobizz Bio Grow (2ml/l, pH 6.5, approx. 900-1750ml), with runoff. This week, RH was lowered further, and the older fan leaves were additionally secured with hooks to prevent stagnant air. The third and final transplant went smoothly, but both plants showed slight leaf issues the next day: pale, partly drooping tips and raised edges on some of the oldest leaves. A runoff measurement then showed elevated values, presumably related to watering after transplanting into Light Mix. The next watering will therefore be delayed and done without nutrients to correct the EC/PPM/salt levels. The new side branches are now in their final positions and show no issues, continuing to grow normally at about 1/2 node per day.

draintherockjohnson ... Current status: 30.10.26: Older leaves still have slightly drooping tips, but overall they look more vigorous. New growth continues to reach upward and is growing noticeably. The second node is already beginning to show on some side branches, with clear new growth in the leaf axils of the first node on some of them. 31.10.26: No change in the leaves, and the new growth remains vigorous. All side branches are growing noticeably. Removed small shoots from the lower leaf axils. 01.11.26: No negative changes to the leaves. Soil moisture at 2–4 (out of 10), depending on the depth of the measurement. Watered with distilled water (pH 6.4, approx. 1700 ml, with very slight runoff) and measured the runoff. Runoff values No. 1 (/previous): 3070 (/4280) μS/cm Runoff values No. 2 (/previous): 1850 (/3740) μS/cm Next watering will include CalMag. Side branches moved further outward and positioned horizontally. Removed the oldest fan leaves, which were in the shade. PPFD increased to approx. 540–560 µmol/m²/s (maximum in some areas, average approx. 500 µmol/m²/s). 02.11.26: All previously positioned horizontal side branches have grown upright again. Leaves on both plants were raised at the start of the light period. 03.11.26: Leaves on both plants look very vigorous after the dark period. Some leaves on No. 2 are strongly raised. No. 1 has a change in leaf shape. They are now narrower, longer, and considerably smaller than before. However, the nodes are still closer together, resulting in a denser canopy. Did some more leaf tucking here. Due to the dense growth, though, it’s almost no longer possible. Almost all side branches are now developing their third node. Internodes (between the 2nd and 3rd nodes) are sometimes approx. 1 cm long. 04.11.26: Both plants continue to grow at the same pace as before. Watered with distilled water and CalMag (pH 6.4, 2000 ml, with slight runoff) and measured the runoff. Input value: 450 μS/cm Runoff value No. 1 (/previous): 2700 (/3070) μS/cm Runoff value No. 2 (/previous): 2100 (/1850) μS/cm; a slight increase here, and the runoff pH for both was 6.9. Plan to continue watering the same way, but with a lower pH. 05.11.26: No. 1 has slight waterlogging on some leaves due to very dense foliage. Some branches are growing unevenly, with two smaller than the others. Moved the hooks on both plants further outward again. Notches are now visible on the twisted branches. They are still vigorous and strong, though. All side branches now run parallel to the ground up to the second node. End of the sixth veg week: Daytime temperatures averaged 23°C, with average RH around 63%. VPD averaged 1.1 (reaching 1.2 in some spots). PPFD was increased again and reached 540–560 µmol/m²/s by the end of the week. Both were watered with distilled water and CalMag (pH 6.4, approx. 1700–2000 ml), with runoff. The EC of the watering solution was set to approx. 450 μS/cm. This week, the focus was on lowering the EC after previous overfeeding. By flushing with distilled water and CalMag, the value was lowered to 2700 μS/cm for No. 1 and 2100 μS/cm for No. 2.

draintherockjohnson ... Current status: 06.11.26: - 07.11.26: Growth in both plants has slowed down a little. However, the leaves and shoots are still looking healthy. Watered with distilled water and CalMag (pH 6.4, 2000 ml, with a little runoff) and measured the runoff. Input value: 450 μS/cm Runoff value No. 1 (/previous): 2600 (/2700) μS/cm, only a slight decrease here. Runoff value No. 2 (/previous): 2200 (/2100) μS/cm, a slight increase here. Further watering following the same routine, with Bio Grow added and the pH lowered, is planned. 08.11.26: Removed three inner fan leaves from No. 1 because the center had become very overgrown. Cooler outdoor temperatures, and consequently cooler temperatures in the tent. Spotted a few fungus gnats again and put out new yellow sticky traps. 09.11.26: Watered with distilled water, CalMag & BioBizz Bio Grow (pH 6.2, 2000 ml, with runoff) and measured the runoff. Input value: 900 μS/cm Runoff value No. 1 (/previous): 2200 (/2600) μS/cm. Runoff value No. 2 (/previous): 2300 (/2200) μS/cm. FLOWERING BEGINS 10.11.26: Since both plants still look healthy and the EC seems to be settling at the current levels, I’m switching to 12/12 now. The dark period will begin at 09:00 when flowering starts. Both had their leaves raised at the start of the light period at 21:00. New shoots are visibly growing. Found rust-brown spots on three leaves. These are only on No. 2, and only on one leaflet each. The other leaves are fine. Nutrient deficiency is ruled out for now, since CalMag was also added. Possibly caused by drops of watering solution/fertilizer. PPFD increased to around 500–700 µmol/m²/s. 11.11.26: First full day after the switch. The spots on the leaves are unchanged. 12.11.26: Watered with distilled water, CalMag, Bio Grow (1.5 ml/l), Bio Bloom (1 ml/l) & Top Max (0.5 ml/l) (pH 6.2, 2000 ml, with runoff) and measured the runoff. Input value: 1100 μS/cm Runoff value No. 1 (/previous): 2100 (/2200) μS/cm. Runoff value No. 2 (/previous): 2200 (/2300) μS/cm. EC values seem to be settling here. End of the seventh veg. week and transition to flowering: Due to lower outdoor temperatures, daytime temperatures were around Ø22°C, with RH around Ø60%. VPD was Ø1.0 (0.8–1.2). PPFD was increased again and was at 540–560 µmol/m²/s by the end of the week. Both were initially watered with distilled water and CalMag (pH 6.4, approx. 1700–2000 ml) to lower the EC further. During the week, Bio Grow, Bloom & Top Max were added (EC input value 1100 μS/cm). This week, the EC was monitored and lowered further, or rather, settled at 2200 μS/cm. Some leaves have rust-brown spots. These were probably caused by spilled watering solution, as a nutrient deficiency can likely be ruled out.
