Red Hot Cookies indoor

MarcXL Started germinating two seeds of sweet seeds "Red Hot Cookies" and put them up in a light soil for the first two weeks. They got a Mix of different nutes by Green Buzz Liquids to ensure a good start to life. End of week one they look nice.

MarcXL Now that second week is running I added the first round of growth nutrition and provided more light. They are light-hungry as they already began to stretch for the light.

MarcXL Now we are talking. Finally they started to build up some bigger leaves and finally look more bushy and healthy. I wonder if these bigger gaps between nodes is typical or just cause I accidentially let my Far-Red lights run all the day for several days.

MarcXL Week 4 begins, you can see clearly the difference between them two, one is stretching a lot more than the other. Same genetics, different phenotypes.

MarcXL Maybe it is time to switch to 12/12 now but as I also have my Psicodelicia in tent that is behind about 2 weeks, so I will wait some more days before switching.

MarcXL Last week of vegetation, the light was switched to 12/12 and now it is time to wait for the flower. Here I wanted to do without "fast flower" liquid to see if there is any difference.

MarcXL After 14 3 days the flowers showed up and they also stretched a lot. So I had to do some LST to prevent them raising their heads into the lamp. With the flower also the smell came up, light but nice, sort of green tea. Not sure now but it seems they could both get some red touch.

MarcXL In week 2 of flower they stretched a lot and we are near the limit of the tent. Sure it is 180cm tall but the pro Emit light isn´t the smallest light you can buy and also I can´t hang it up much more higher. So I had to start taking the main stem and do some training. This means I bent the stems to some horizontal position and also bind them down.

MarcXL Stretch is still going on, so more training is needed. The light is at its´highest possible point now and some buds wanted to grow right into the light. This strain is growing bigger than expected, next time I would use some topping and ScrOG net. But it is what it is and now I have to deal with it. So now the tent looks really messy with all plants in it. I did more stem bending now and will do lot more of binding and bending the next weeks.

MarcXL Week 4 is nearly done, had to tie them down both a little bit more. They are both growing strong and fast, one is more red than the other one. Seems I got 2 phenos here.

MarcXL End of week 5 and I have such a chaos in the tent. After lots of training I finally managed to keep them away from the lights. Due to this situation I did not want to remove the psicodelicia plant in front of the red cookies out of the tent for the pictures here, so I had to do most pictures with a different angle.

MarcXL Here are the two red hot cookies in flowering week 6 Here is so much going on since the bending, loos like the smaller stems got good amount of light and raised up a lot. Buds are getting bigger now and the smell intensifies.

MarcXL Harvest was a sticky mess because trichomes are everywhere. For drying I only removed the bigger fan leaves. Now they are hanging upside down in the tent to dry for about 8 to 10 days before trimming and getting a proper dry weight.
