DAY 25 Topping for the second time (pics before topping). Definitive numbering of the plants.
These Cookies are the smallest plants of the selection ; height varies from 12 - 17 cm
The slowest growing plants of the collection are the Royal Cookies. You can see that the leaves (in week 4) have all remained green. They showed no lack of nitrogen compared to the other strains, because of their slow growth.
@Zannabis7, Thx, I didn't win. It was my first grow here on Growdiaries. Not my first grow in general. I have some experience in growing all kind of vegetables ๐
@Oyziphar, Sounds like an excellent plan. Growing with different strains all together like this is a pain but you are doing a lovely job. You'll enjoy comparing each strains terpenes, I bet. Not such a bad compromise, really. ;-)๐๐
@Zannabis7, I read your comment again. I must tell you that the third topping I did in Week6 (last week growing) was a bit too late for this strain. The new shoots were covered with the big Indica leaves, and so the budforming got somewhat behind in comparison with the other strains.
@Zannabis7, Yup, and they respond very well on the topping. What went less well was that I might have left the plants a bit too long in the small pots. They showed some nitrogen shortage. Also a small problem that the new soil (repotting) was a bit cold (because of the weather). That gave them a bit of a shock. But after the roots of the plants have scanned the size of the pot, now the new shoots have start growing well.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your journal. Did you grow these Royal Cookies from 6 different seeds? If so did you notice any variation between them? Stronger or different smells from each of the plants? Yield differences? Did a single plant of the 6 stand out as a winner? Thanks!
@remi604, Yep 6 different seeds. All plants looked about the same. Some plants have a strange growth pattern with a hard trunk and leaves that do not develop completely. Remove these plants at an early stage. I grew this strain earlier and had the same problem. But the selected plants were great. Incredible smell, nice rockhard buds with a lot of trichomes, superb smell and taste! My favourite RQS seed at the moment.
Sorry for the late answer. Been very busy. I've started again this week, so I am happy to be back. Soon some new diaries !
@biggreens420, Correct. Plants are not very branched. Great smell, nice frosty buds. Sorry for the late answer. Been very busy. I've started again this week. Soon some new diaries !
