First Organic Grow.
I have it planted in Coco Coir, Perlite, Worm Casting and sprinkled her with some Great White.
Its my first grow with the Great White so I can only hope it does what the reviews talk it up to be.
This will be my first run with auto flowering and I can't wait.
Not too much stretch this week. It is pretty dense and stocky.
I transplanted on day 14 and added some additional nutrients.
I haven't been running my humidifier either so this may also be playing a part.
Another week with little stretch. That being said, she has strong leaf structure and is extremely dense.
I added the humidifier this week.
If she starts to stretch next week i'll LST her then.
A little more stretch this week compared to the last couple.
It's still extremely dense so I've been trying to leaf tuck.
She just started to show sex so off to flowering we go.
Should be top dressing with some Gaia Green 4-4-4, 2-8-4 this week.
I've got some serious issues going on with her this week.
Leaves are curling upward and browning. Not crumbling yet but look like they will be soon. Both new and old growth is being effected.
Maybe the Mineralized Phosphate was too much for her.
Im open to any comments or recommendations to help bring her back.
She is drinking roughly a litre every two days. No different than last week.
Gave her and 50/50 veg/flowering nutrients to gradually transition to flowering with a partial shot of Mineralized Phosphate.
Increased light to 500W but will be decreasing to hopefully give her a better chance of bouncing back.
I've got a serious issue. Started 3-4 days ago, right after adding nutrients and increasing light.
Leaves are curling upward and browning. Not crumbling yet but look like they will be soon.
Both new and old growth is being effected.
Maybe the Mineralized Phosphate was too much.
After a rough week she has finally come back. I flushed it 6 litres of 6.3 PHd water and 5 days to dry up.
It looks skimpy now with all the dead leaves removed.
I'm hoping this hiccup does not hinder the end results.
It's looking so much better this week. Showing nice colour in the leaves but the stems are definitely purple because of the issue I ran into.
I figure she may take an extra two weeks before its done but we will see.
She is starting to drink a lot more now as well.
Buds are starting to fill in.
I defoliated a little this week and also LSTd two stems.
I gave it a light final top dress today which I believe was a great time as the leaves are starting to fade.
The Cream Cookies is coming along well this last week.
Buds are starting to fill in with long pistols.
Trichomes are coming in nicely.
Good colour in the leaves and beautiful surface roots.
Buds are continuing to fill in nicely.
Still long pistols on the tops.
Bud tops are starting to turn purple.
I defoliated a few leaves to expose some greener one below.
Smell is still weak.
Blueberry colours!
Turned the light back up to 500W.
She still looks pretty healthy considering what’s happened to it.
Trichomes are still clear. I figure by the end of next week she will start to cloud and soon finish.
I absolutely love the blue/purple buds on her.
The smell in coming in a bit more however, I can't seem to describe the smell yet.
The trichomes have not begun clouding over so I'm going to continue feeding Cal Mag and Bio Roots.
I would imagine by the end of next week it will be time to start giving her just straight PH water.
Hope to harvest soon!
I can't say enough of the colours of these buds.
Leaves are showing some good fade so I know the nutrients are depleted.
Trichomes are all cloudy now and i've already started to give just PH water.
Will be putting in the dark and chopping this week.
First off I want to say this girl went through hell and back, yet still yielded a staggering 116 grams in just 13 weeks.
Smoke:
Very clean smooth smoke. Likely because the nutrients were depleted when chopped but could also be due to the flavours this genetic is made up of.
Smell:
This beauty has multiple smells that make it hard to pinpoint a single one. The ones that stand out the most to me is a sweet cream, with mixed berries.
Taste:
She has the most exquisite combination of cream and vanilla flavours.
Appearance:
Amazing blue/purplish colours to all the buds that were in the top level of the canopy.
Consistent sized buds throughout.
The intermediate buds remained quite dense after drying but all the canopy buds dried ROCK HARD.
It had good trichome production, leaving each bud with a nice glossy shine.
Each bud produced a few pistols but nothing significant.
Effects:
She is potent and its easy to tell she has a high THC level.
After a long hard day of work this will quickly calm the mind as the evening goes on. It is also a good daytime smoke but not one if focus is essential.
My spouse says she has a difficult time sleeping on this stuff but I sleep like a baby.
This high is without a doubt one that will stimulate the appetite. If that is what your looking for this is the stuff for you.
Overall I was happy with this grow. Unfortunately I ran into three issues throughout this grow which were my fault.
1. I had a mold issue which caused me to discard some of the buds. She was growing right next to my Six Shooter which had a mold issue because I was struggling to control high humidity levels. The humidity level was fixed by the time my Cream Cookies started to pack on the weight so I believe the mold spores transferred from the Six Shooter to the Cream Cookies.
2. I fed her between week 4 and 5 along with all my other plants. For some reason the cream cookies did not react well to the feeding and quickly started showing signs of nutrient lock out. I immediately flushed her and only gave her only bio root, cal mag and ph water for the following four weeks. Im thinking I must have lost track of the number of scoops of nutrient I was adding and over fed it.
3. She struggled again after I topped dressed at week 8. Not nearly as bad but the leaves were starting to show signs of imbalanced nutrients. Despite my error she still managed to finish strong enough to produce a good yield.
Pros:
Definitely one of the best combinations of smell and taste i’ve ever had.
Good smoke after a hard day of work and you just want to forget.
Strong genetic.
Cons:
I ran into a minor mold issue.
This stuff makes me eat. This could be a Pro for some but in my case not exactly what I’m looking for.
I'm seriously want to try dry amendments. Just curious on when your last feed is? How do you know when to feed? I'm sure it depends on the strain but on average would it be around 5th week of flower?
@Swoosh, The Gaia Green that i use for my main feeding is recommended to last a month. With Autos running roughly 12 weeks you need to feed from seedling, 4 weeks in typically when she kicks over into flowering, and your last feeding being 8 weeks in. Your last feeding should be 4 weeks out from expected harvest to ensure there are no nutrients remaining in your medium. This will produce a much better product in the end.
Photo periods you really need to plan ahead because you still need to follow the same 4 week feeding pattern but she won't flower until the light cycle switches and depending on the strain they flower different lengths. There are also some strains that require more nutrients than others.
You really need to watch your leaves and overall plant as she will tell you what she is missing. Keep in mind when you feed dry amendments (organic) it takes time for the plant to show improvement. I've notice for me a week - a week and a half.
Hopefully this helps and happy harvest!
