Huge nugs are shaping up. Definitely finishing later than these usually do, due to me stunting it, but I'm happy to wait. The tent is starting to get super crowded but I'm gonna push it until this plant is done. Just feeding tiger bloom at this point, hoping that will be sufficient. Might give it one more week of feeding and then switch to PH'd water.
This plant is shaping up to be the best I've grown, which is surprising given the amount of stress I've given it. The stem is super thick and the canopy is relatively even. Looking forward to getting pictures of its skeleton at the end of the grow and seeing how much she'll yield.
I'm curious on the best way to dry the nugs outside of the tent. Anyone have any thoughts? I've seen people dry in a shoebox/cardboard box, I might take that route.
Thanks for checking out the diary :)
Been wilting every 2-3 days and then recovers after watering. Brown spots appeared in the last 24 hours. Pictures of leaves off and on the plant in latest week's pictures. Water ph'd very high (7.5+) and I have lowered to 6.5 for this watering with 1/4 strength nutes and vinegar.
In my opinion you can go higher in nutients ( nitrogen) shes shooting and will need that. Same to water... Plants that size need more/ more often water. They are looking alittle pale , i would go with acalmag product between the feedings........
Hi its very rare that grower give less... and its the better way. Plants can handle it very well. But for flowering you should water her more/ more often ( i water daily in flower). So that she dont have to be afraid to dry out. Give her nice amounts of water and nutes and she will look in 2 days very good. ( and the leaves will get more green in around a week) so keep it up.. and happy growing
@Mrs_Larimar, I got one with 2 percent calcium + iron, I'll start giving her some between feedings. She recovered again 24 hours after watering and then I watered again and she seems to be fine so far so I think you were right about the underwatering, thanks again! :)
@NipplesMD,Canna got single products without nattrium. me personally prefer single products... to adjust he calcium and magnesium defs.......but you can go with nearly every calmagproduct just thinking about the nitrogen.....that is contained too. if you get one with around 2 percent nitogen, i see no big problems nearly ever fertiliser company has quite similar products............................
@Mrs_Larimar, thanks so much as always, I think you're right about needing to water every day. Could you recommend a good calmag supplement? I have relatively hard water (I'm on a well) so I haven't worried about calcium before this grow :)
yaaay you are close to the end.. well done.dont you have humidity problem =? because they grow so dense and having so many leaves=? pls kindly check it.....and i agree... the royal cookies automatics are a great strain... and hugs for your cute dog
@Mrs_Larimar, Just checked under the branches, humidity all the way up to 66%! Thanks for the warning.
I've taken some of the leaves off that were touching/shading bud sites (10 maximum), and I've lowered the side fan to right above this plant + increased the speed of the output fan to max, anything else I should do? I could find a spot for one of the other ones for a week if that's how long it needs. I could also turn up speed of side fan, I haven't before because it's quite close to the ladies. Definitely don't want any mold after all this work! I will definitely inspect her fully tomorrow to make sure there isn't some already.
@Mrs_Larimar, Humidity in the room that the tent is in is really low because of the heating that the house has, we've been in the 40's recently (I forgot to update the journal before). I'm gonna check the humidity below the leaves soon just to be sure. The leaves are really crowded though you're right, should I maybe defoliate? I haven't done anything like that because this is my first auto grow and I really didn't want to stress them.
Thanks for the comments as always. I'll give the pup a big hug for you.
I have grown the Royal cookies automatic too. That strain is hard to hit... and hits hard hahaha........Enjoy the upcoming flowering time

Leaves can wilt if the roots are starved from oxygen. is it possible that she's a bit overwatered? it would explain the brown spots on the leaves as well. I just experienced this on a previous grow.
I thought it was thirsty because the leaves would wilt and when I watered she would look fine for a day but wilt again. found out I was starving the roots of oxygen.
@NipplesMD, Thats exactly what I did too. If the PH adjusted water doesn't seem to help I would let it dry out for like 5-7 days. I know it sounds like suicide but at this point if it is overwatered its easier to do more damage watering than letting her get bone dry.
I hope it ends up being the PH and she snaps out of it! 😊
@NattyMeds, I'm not sure at this point, I started watering more frequently due to the wilting and it seems to be getting worse so its very possible. I'm not sure what to do with the opinion being so split haha. The soil seems dry when I water though (I stick my finger in). It's gonna be harder to tell after today, because I've covered the soil with sand to get rid of fungus gnats.
Friend! great diary so far !!! you're doing a great job.👊
I'm also growing this strain, at the beginning I had some problems, but now they are bombs! 💣💥
Go man, keep it up !!! 💪
This looks like over watering issues and possibly nitrogen toxicity. Slow down on the waterings and nutrients for a full week or two and it will be fine. Cheers 😊✌️
