Germination
09/08/2020 - 13/08/2020:
This grow is 2 seeds of Red Hot Cookies by Sweet Seeds and there will also be two other girls in the tent, Do-Sweet-Dos and Sweet Zkittles. Dropped the seeds at 10am on the 9th and both of them popped in the evening at around 7pm! Transferred them to a cotton pad the next day and waited for the tap roots to grow a little. On the 11th the roots were ~1cm long so I planted all the seeds in the morning in BioBizz Light Mix and put them in a tent. I later realised that the soil was not moist enough which is probably why the girls took 3 days to come up from the soil.
Week 1
Day 1 (14/08/2020):
All four girls in the tent popped out of the soil today and I watered them with 100 ml each of water with BioBizz Root Juice at (4ml/1L). In this grow there will be some upgrades since the last one: we have purchased Air Pots which I will be transplanting the girls into after a week! We will have a humidifier from the beginning, so that it is easier to control the environment when temperatures get too high (we will be using the vapor pressure deficit guideline). We will also be using BioBizz All Mix this time as opposed to the Plagron which should keep the pH balance perfect.
Day 2 (15/08/2020):
The seedlings grew so tall just over night! The soil is still moist and not dry at the top. The light is at about 80% intensity and there is a fan blowing the air around as well. I set the humidifier at max during lights on which gets the humidity to around 75% with temperature at 30°C. During lights off the temperature drops to 26°C and I turn the humidifier on the lowest setting and the humidity is around 70%. If they start to grow too leggy I might cover them with a cm more of soil.
Day 3 (16/08/2020):
The first girl (RHC 1) is growing quite low to the soil still but I can imagine how big her roots are getting! The second girl is definitely growing taller and I noticed that both of them have quite wrinkled leaves! I wonder if that will affect how they look later, can't wait to find out!
Day 4 (17/08/2020):
Today the second girl was 5 cm tall in the morning so I decided to add 1 cm of soil on top to make sure that her stem and roots are strong! I did not add any extra soil to #1 because she is already quite close to the ground (and only 2cm tall). But both the girls are definitely growing super fast
Day 5 (18/08/2020):
Today I saw the next four new leaves come out on the second girl and she has grow incredibly fast already since yesterday. The first girl has stretched quite a bit over the day as well and she is now 3cm tall with the leaves growing quite fast as well! I sprayed the top of the soil a little today because it was drying out but I will water then properly tomorrow.
Day 6 (19/08/2020):
The second girl has blown up in size over the day, and is now just over 5cm tall! The new leaves have gotten bigger already when they were still so tiny yesterday! But I can see those four new leaves on the first girl too, she will catch up in no time! I have watered the girls today with roughly 100ml of water with Root Juice but did not see run off.
Day 7 (20/08/2020):
The girls are doing really well and growing so fast! I am scared that there will be too many roots for the size of the pot (1L) so I will be replanting them into the new AirPots tomorrow. I think that girl #1 has too little space, because she is so small that I couldn't add extra soil, and maybe that's why she's a bit smaller in size. We will see what happens after the change of pot.
@WishiFishi, nice best of luck with the grow! The flavour is amazing, tastes very fruity and quite sweet. Always reach for Red Hot Cookies the most out of all the strains 😁
Thanks for sharing a new diary with one of our strains.
We hope you enjoy it :P
Once finished, with the final notes of the strains, you can ask us for more seeds to share another diary.
Sweet smokes!
