Some great growth going on! Flowering has started several days ago, around 3.5 weeks. A day after my week 3 update, I fed them with EM1, and then 6 days later (yesterday) I watered again with EM1 over Bokashi Super Food too dressing.
Since No.2 is a runt, I decided not to LST her and let her grow naturally aside from some defoliation as needed. You can see her middle is quite exposed.
The other 4 are all trained and growing very similar. Likely no more tying down on the main cola. I might stake out a couple of the lower tops coming through, just to move them a little sideways to be sure they're always getting full light.
Other than that, over the next week I'll be focused on making sure the lower tops are getting the light, as well as the space they need to grow into full tops. Pretty low maintenance really!
โ Further Updateโ
Looks like early stage iron deficiency. Tops are fading and new growth is very thin. According to the standard pH uptake chart, iron uptake starts to diminish around 6.5+
My praise of not having to pH bit me in the rear. Always pH!!! I've been going in at 7.0-7.5 as I thought the super soil took care of pH, but lesson learned. Time to crack open the pH down.
Given the pH is 7-7.5, and given the fact that the tops are fading and thinning while the lower parts of the plant remain green, would you also agree that this is early stage iron deficiency?
From what I can see your suffering lock outs in micro nutrients of all sorts being that your PH is so high I would advise that you reduce it slowly to 6.5 or 6.8 this will be the optimum zone to hit in your medium allowing your plants to fully absorb everything that you give them . I would also suggest you get some calmg and do a good feeding once a week and really give her some PK . I just finished a grow of cookies cream excellent cannabis just a little demanding on the feedings . And being that's it's an auto flower you wanna catch these kinds of things quickly otherwise it's near impossible to catch back up . I hope that this information is helpful to you on your quest to the finish line . Happy Growing!
Killa looking little monsters I reckon you'll end up getting no less then 50g dry each off small plants and around 90g dry off the big one ๐ just a guess ๐ keen to see results
@Coconuts, thanks for stopping by! I can only hope to pull 2oz per plant!
I think #1 and #3 will be around 1.5 ounces per plant.
I believe #4 and #5 will be a notch above that, at 1.75 ounces.
I would reckon #2 will top out at around 21g (ยพ ounce)
Bringing my grand total estimate to 7.25 ounces. We shall see!
Gotta love them Cookies. I have about 2 weeks to go with mine, smelling unbelievable and caking on the frost. G'luck brother!! ๐จ๐ฆ๐ด๐๐๐
@Rocket1181, just checked out your diary 104 days, looks good brother I never tried this strain but I think the dessert strains are ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ what was the yield? Cream Cookies bout 2 weeks away and she teasing me with her sweet smell lol G'luck brother!! ๐จ๐ฆ๐ด๐๐๐
@OhcanaDAbiz, thanks man! Appreciate it. Glad to know it's taking yours just as long. Means mine have a lot more beefing up to do.
I noticed you're also growing sweet tooth from canuk. I grew that a while ago before I started using this site.

That's her at day 114.

And that's her cured nuggies.
You'll enjoy that smoke. She made some killer rosin.
The main reason you don't have big baseball size heads is small plants small heads (more often then not) but I wouldn't be disappointed if I were you... You got some tasty looking buds all the way from top to bottom ๐๐๐ good job I hope my nugs are as good as yours ๐ and if you want BIG heads find a master grower on here that produces the huge heads your after and ask them about their setup and strains (if their diary doesn't already tell you) and do your best to replicate ๐ and after seeing your latest pics I think my estimate will be a little low ๐
Hey I appreciate the kind words! This was also my first time running a living soil that I'm not to keen on for flowering. That being said, it was definitely a lot more of anticipating when they would get hungry. Also, given how they're all growing, I'm inclined to think it's mostly genetics at play, but who knows?
What's exciting is I've gotten the next round started. New diar(ies!) coming tomorrow!
Looking nice rocket! I hope mine look this good once they start flowering. If you think yours are slow, mine are in week 6 and haven't started flowering yet!
Nice diary man ! I just got done with some cookies cream they are a great strain that's for sure . You will be pleased with your end results I know I was ! Wishing you the best of luck on this project and the many to come.
Happy Growing!
