'Space Cookies' by Paradise

Howdy all and welcome to Week 2, Veg with Space Cookies. Had a lot of problems this week but we're back at er' and Cookies is recovering and moving very well. In Week 2 of PSK and GDPxBruce is the layout of the happenings and why these girls have struggled so much. We won't get into that here, as the issues have been rectified and I'm happy to say this project is far from a scrap. All is well and we're moving forward with all 4 ladies. Also going back to my '"the good, bad and "meh"' style I'm used to when writing these...it's just easier. So! the deets: The Good: -Great news that she was the last to be planted as she spent the least amount of time in the hot seeding soil. She has the least amount of damage and the healthiest sets, over all the other girls. -Moving quickly and doubles in size every 36-48 hrs. New sets have great texture and health. -Her first seedling feed went very well and no signs of nutrient burn noticed whatsoever. The opposite occurred and she seems to be in full drive now, 36 hrs after that feeding. -Root system must be healing because I see my stem strength increasing and thickening. -Have the sweet spot for all girls with my lighting, as none are stretching and they're pushing nice tight inter-nodal points👍. (SF-2000 @ 42 inches) The Bad: -There was a lot of bad early week, but I'm pretending that it never happened, lol. I'm also pretending this is "Week 1" so I feel a little better about myself, hahaha. I did lose a week here due to my mistakes and complacency when testing my soils and optimizing my parameters. It is what it is and they're not dead...so victory! -All the other bad that occurred can be found in the aforementioned GDP and PSK diaries. The 'Meh' -Lot's a 'meh's' but I can't really complain... They could easily be dead right now, but they're not. Health isn't exactly perfect, nor is growth rate of stem/root health, but they're recovering nicely and I feel within a week's time they'll be rocking quite well. -Only meh I guess would be that I over-watered a bit, early into the transplant. I haven't gone straight to a large pot before and just start the girls in solo's. But with the move, and being so small, I had a hard time figuring out what was too much or not enough. I'm getting the hang of it and they bounced back quickly from the over-watering. Just a little localized suffocation, not total medium saturation. Cleared up within the day as the SF beat down on them, circulation was pumped up and I dropped humidity to 45-50 % for a small while. Notes of the Week: -We are officially using Green Planet's GP3 line with 4 Additives (will be listed near future). I have chosen the two Paradise Seeds genetics to test the new nutrient line on and it's alllll very straight forward. The doses required are the exact same as GHE, which I'd been using this whole time. Not much of a learning curve, so that's cool👍. Also, a happy surprise I wasn't aware of when I opened the nutrients. LESS DYE. Less hard reds, oranges or blues to stain your equipment, or god forbid your carpet if you have a little spill. Less/No dye is a big deal too me... It shouldn't be in there in the first place. -I'm crediting Gaia Green's Bone Meal (2-16-0) for the expedited recovery of the root system on all the girls. The slow release phosphorous and Cal is proving to do well by them and I'm very surprising how quickly their root, stem and lateral stem health improved, seemingly overnight. It also acts like a dolomite lime to keep pH in check. Something I really need to be aware of after their disastrous start. -As mentioned, NO SCRAPPING! All girls are in and recovering well. I'm pleased to say that I will be propagating these four girls, in full. Keep my wits about me and all will continue to recover and thrive👌. -Trouble acclimating the new tent as I wasn't ready to move to the big show yet. Finally got my VPD to 1.11 and I'm hoping to hold it there. Fingers Crossed. That wasn't too long! Thanks all for dropping by and seeing the re-birth of SC and the others. I look forward to future updates, now, haha. This was really stressful, but again, I learned a tonne from my mistakes. I know I won't be repeating these errors, so that might be worth this little lesson. A friend of mine always says, "You don't learn anything without paying a price. The price might be fiscal, but it can also be a payment in time, through failure/mistakes" and also "If you're going to fail, fail forward. If you don't learn from your mistakes, you're doomed to repeat them. Learn from it and you're still moving forward. Less of a failure and more of a learning curve IF you learn something". OK! that's the end of my ramble. Cheers to you all and I hope you're well out there. Keep care and much love✊😃
