Hi growers hope you are all well? This is my first Royal Queen Seeds test grow and so far so good. I have chosen Cookies Gelato for my test grow and she is already showing great potential as I only put 2 seeds in and got a 100% germination rate within 2 day of putting the seeds straight into rockwool cudes.
Hi fellow grower, hope all is well this week? This week I've seen very little growth on top but the roots are growing crazy so I've put the small rockwool cubes into large rockwool cudes. I've give them a light feed as they were starting to show signs of under feeding, Remo Velokelp at 1ml per litre. I don't normally feed seedling so early, is this a sign of a heavy feeder or growers error? The next few day's should tell me.🤞. Peace and happy growing ✌️
All went OK this week for the Royal Queen Seeds Cookies Gelato, roots are growing quicker than anything I've seen before! So I've now put them in their forever home, a 25ltr air pot with coco perlite 70/30 mix by plant magic. Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing.
I am going in to week 4 now and things have gone pretty smoothly for me this week, no issues and they are starting to settle in to their pots. Mills vitalise is my new weapon in my grow arsenal and so far I'm liking the way the Cookies Gelato has grown over night the first time I used it. Peace and happy growing people. ✌️
420 are growing nice and smoothly with no issues at all. I'm now running the light at 80 cm from top of the plant and is running at 78000 lux and she seems to like it there. I have done a little bit of LST and a bit of defoliation this week to let a bit more light into the middle of the plant. Peace and happy growing people. ✌️💚🌿
Hi fellow grower, sorry for the messed-up diary last week, I'll try and make up for it this week. 😁
Start of week 6 of veg.
I love this strain so far, reminds me of the first Green Gelato I grew, she was a really strong plant from start to finish and produced 9 and 3/4 of amazing dry bud.
Over the last 2 weeks, the girls have been growing at a good pace and feed every 3 to 4 days. I have topped and defoliated ready for more LST in the near future. Thanks for looking and peace and happy growing. ✌️💚🌿
Hi fellow grower, hope all is well?
Not much has changed from last week's diary really as these girls are so easy to grow in veg. I'm going to veg and train them for a good few weeks as I need room in the flower tent. Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing people.
Hi fellow grower, hope all is well?
I was going to start my diary with "not much has changed" but that wouldn't be at all true! I'm seeing new growth every day, and I'm running out of room in the veg tent. 🤔 Not that I'm complaining.
The 2 seeds I put in are very much alike, thick stems short and bushy, these girls look tough! So I don't think they will mind the training they'll be going through soon 😈 I need to slow them down, I still have around 4 weeks to go in the flower tent. But please don't go to far, keep popping in for a look to see what crazy training techniques I'll be using over the next few weeks.
Thanks for looking and peace and happy growing people. ✌️💚🌿
This I've done a little defoliation to try slow things down a bit, on doing so I've noticed how thick the stems are getting. Wow!! These th look like they are getting ready to hold some monster buds. I can't wait to get them into the flower tent.
Just before I flip to 12/12 I will be stripping them back a bit and instead of waisting the lower stem I'm going to see how she clones.
Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing people. ✌️🌿💚
Not much has gone on in the veg room this week, running out of room. The Auto's should be finished soon so I'll be able to do a little bit of LST and open things up a little before the flip. These girls are going to be massive! Being to regret butting them in so early. 🙈 I'm going to be making a separate room for Auto's so I don't run out of room in the veg tent.
Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing people. ✌️🌿💚
Finally got room in the veg tent!!
Time for them to spread their wings!!
The way these 2 are growing and the length of time they have been in veg (my fault, should of waited a few more weeks to germinate them. 🙄) I'm going to try 2 different ways of training, 1 I've topped just the once, the other I've topped waited for all the side branches to catch up then topped again.
Plant number 1, the one that's been topped twice has also had some super cropping done to bring everything level.
Plant number 2 has only been topped once and has only had the side branches pulled down with soft ties.
Feeding is every 3 days and gets 2 feeds then just water to help stop salt build up.
Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing. ✌️💚🌿
Still waiting for the flower room to finish, 3 more days hopefully. These girls are going to be massive by the time I flip them, I can't wait to see how big they grow. The main stem is huge, bigger than I've ever seen in veg. Not much more going on apart from lovely lush growth. Very happy so far.
Thanks for looking,peace and happy growing people. ✌️🌿💚
Wow what an amazing couple of plants I've got here, both different growth structures, but but very similar in how strong they are. The big girl I gave multi tops to has spread right across the half of my 120×120 tent. The girl I topped once has really tight internode's so I could only defoliate and spread out a little, so i filled the gap with a couple of clones I took from the Urban Guerrilla I had in, to see how she grows in coco.
In this weeks pictures you can see the before and after shots of the defoliation and training I did before the flip to 12/12. I have also added a couple of shots of the recovery 2 days later.
Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing. ✌️🌿💚
1 week into 12/12 and these 2 girls are growing very well indeed, I'm still using LST to keep the hight and level I'm after. I'm really excited for this grow and can't wait to see how these preform.
Feeding is looking like it will be a daily task as I'm feeding nearly every day already, so I may need to start feeding twice a day by the time I get full bud development has started.
Thanks for looking and peace and happy growing. ✌️🌿💚
Day 14 from 12/12 flip.
Hi fellow growers, since flipping to 12/12 the Cookies Gelato has performed very well in every way. They take every thing I throw at them like I haven't done anything. Firstly the big girl at the back got topped and topped again has gone from strength to strength and main heads are everywhere, the second has such tight internode's that the buds are going to be huge.
I'm really enjoying growing this strain so far as they are preforming so well in the early stages and are easy to grow. Feeding is every other day at the minute but I can see that changing to every day soon, but I was expecting that after the long veg time I had to give them.
Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing. ✌️🌿💚
Hi fellow grower, I hope all is well?
This week has been a busy one, defoliation and some LST. I striped all the big fan leaf from both plants to get more light into the bottom of the canopy and both plants responded really well from this. The girl I topped multiple times is growing really fast and is feeding every day, where asthe girl I only topped once is feeding every other day. Both girls respond very well to LST and love having their canopy spread out. The trichomes are starting to appear thick and fast on both girls, but more so on the girl that had multi toppings.
Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing. ✌️🌿💚
Beginning of week 5.
Merry Christmas to all my fellow growers, I hope you are all well?
This last week has been a busy one in the grow room with both girls feeding daily and heavily. The plant at the front is feeding at 3 ml A&B with full strength add - on's and the big plant at the back is on full strength everything. Both plants got a Flush 3 days ago and were bone dry in and ready to feed again in less than 2 day's.
The big plant at the back of the tent is packing on the trichomes, and is definitely looking like it's going to hit around the 28% THC make that RQS says it can hit. The second plant is not far behind on trichome production, but doesn't look as much as the biggest out of the 2. Smells are getting stronger and I may need to turn my second filter on to handle it, only time will tell. I have also added a 250w dule spectrum HPS in due to things getting cold around here.
Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing. ✌️🌿💚
Happy New year to all my fellow growers.
This week has been yet again a good week for my girls, drinking heavily and putting on weight. The biggest out of the 2 is a little in front, I'd say by at least 5 day so I might have to start the overdrive a bit sooner. The smell is getting stronger and stronger by the day and I'm needing to vent more air out of my room due to this.
See you all next week, peace and happy growing. ✌️🌿💚
Loving this strain!
Smell is out of this world!
Buds are huge, and getting bigger and bigger by the day. The biggest plant out of the 2 is starting to show a bit of purple in the fan leaf and is still feeding daily. The smaller out of the 2 has much bigger buds and seems to be a week or so behind the other, so will need a week longer. In flower. They both smell very similar and are covered in trichomes.
If you are growing this strain, be prepared to feed them a lot, I mean these guys like a good feed and feed almost daily.
Thanks for looking. Peace and happy growing. ✌️🌿💚
Week 8 of bloom cycle.
It is looking like I'm going to have 2 different harvest times with my 2 girls, the big girl at the back is in her flush cycle and the girl at the front with the arm sized bud is having an extra week of feeding. This isn't a problem for me as I have a separate room for drying and curing.
The smell is amazing and fills the room as soon as I open the tent. The trichomes on the big girl at the back are milky and starting to get a little bit of amber with the girl at the front having no amber yet.
Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing. ✌️🌿💚
Week 9 of flower
All are getting flushed now, the big girl has been getting flushed a week longer than the second one, so will be down at different times. The big girl is starting to show some really nice pinks and purples in the top buds and is smelling amazing. I haven't checked how dence the bud are, but by looking at them and by experience, they look very dence.
The girl at the front with the big buds has took around a week longer, so has just started her flush but is green with very fine ambur hair's.
Both still have very similar smells, but with one having a slightly stronger gelato smell to it, with the other has more of that cookie dough smell as the stronger side. Really can't wait to try both of these!
Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing. ✌️🌿💚
Hi fellow grower.
That's me almost there, I've took the bigger plant out of the two down and she's been hanging now for 6 days. The trichome production on this girl is out of this world! Truly amazing!
The other plant is in full flush mode and will be down and hanging by the next diary. Hopefully I'll have a bit of a smoke report to go with it. 😉
Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing. ✌️🌿💚
Hi fellow growers, I hope all is safe and well.
The big girl is in the jars curing and every day I burp the jars the smell gets sweeter and creamier, kind of like whipped ice-cream in a sugar cone. The other girl with the big bud has almost finished flushing and will be hanging in the next few days.
I'll give a full weight and smoke review in the final harvest week, but the bit I have tried was very nice indeed.
Thanks for looking, peace and happy growing. ✌️🌿💚
The second pheno has been hanging now for 8 days and could still do with a few more days hanging before harvest. The first pheno has been in the jars now for a couple of weeks and the smells are very strong. As soon as you open the jars you are hit with the most amazing smell of sugar cone with Mr Wippy ice-cream.
Thanks for looking, next week I will have final harvest results. Peace and happy growing. ✌️🌿💚
Very tasty smoke indeed.
Pheno 1 has more of a Cookies with ice-cream on the side kind of flavour to it, a strong cookie flavour on the inhale with a sweet creamy taste on the exhale. 🤤
Pheno 2 is very similar to pheno 1 but the sweet creamy taste is more dominant.
It's very hard to choose my favourite as they are so close to each other, which is a huge bonus.
Resistance to mold was great, these girls were huge and I found it hard to get in and defoliate and things got a bit bushy towards the end.
Phone 1 =314g of dry flower
Phone 2 =200g of dry flower
I love this strain, very easy to grow and up there with my all time favourite smokes. You can smoke this strain all day if you take your time and don't get greedy, which is really hard to do with it being so tasty. Push it and you'll be back in bed by 10 am even if you got up at 9.00am.
Growing her was easy and would recommend for any level of grower but I wouldn't recommend for any level of smoker as she will put a novice smoker in a coma for a few hours.
I will be trying this strain again in organic and DWC to see how she grows in all medium.
