'Malanasa Cookies' by Exoticseed

Hello, hello👋. Just wrapping up this week's updates and this here will be Week 3 (and a little of week 4), Bloom, w/ Malanasa Cookies. The Deets!: The Good: -I think the world of this girl. She's my first tropical-esque plant and I love to watch her grow and form up. Different stacks and bud growth then I'm used too, but I think she's just really nice looking and is growing very well. -She is, by farrrrr, the heaviest shedder. Trichomes are caked everywhere and she's super sticky with weeks to go here. Along with a strong terpene profile coming in, I'm positive this one will be a nice heavy hitter. She's got a lot going for her and I look forward to her progress👍 The 'Meh': -I burnt her a bit... ha! I was trying to find my limit with feeding and I found it. Didn't go to far, didn't burn too much and still prays like nothing happened. That said, I'm happy to have a benchmark for next grow and I won't be pushing these girls as far as I have been. Just wanted to test the waters and find that sweet spot. No other lockouts or negative symptoms noticed, just a tad fried on her weakest foliar. With new grow tips burn free, I'll be changing some things up and easing a little slower into heavier feeds. She will get what she needs, but I'm done playing with fire, lol! Accomplished what I set out to do, so I'm not going to press my luck. -Though I love her to death, I feel she's not packing on weight right now. May be a symptom of the over feeding, but she does seem sparse, while the others are bulking up quick. She's all trichs and pistils right now, which is dandy, but would like to see her pack on some grammage in the coming weeks. Besides that, I have no complaints. Notes of the Week: -Everyone's doing pretty well right this week and right now. I've past the paranoia stage where I'm extra vigilant about hermies. No balls or nanners going into week 6 soon, so I think we're good👍 -Re-vamping my seedling process again... but honestly it has to be done. It's the one part of growing that I feel I still don't have down at all. I struggle and stunt them almost 100% of the time, losing days here and there. After 2.5-3 Weeks I'm on my way, but this initial process is painful for me. Did a lot of talking (of course) and started grilling multiple people on their methods, specifically people I could see that had amazing expedited growth early on, prepping them for a great Veg. Lots are on IG but @Philindicus answered a bunch of my questions and b/t everyone's input I've found a new method, medium and additive to help out. Canna family provides man, and thank you Phil for giving me your time. Will be following a few of your pointers and get this right👊 -One of two tent's genetics have been picked and I'm going to keep it simple, believe it or not. Will be running x2-3 LemonGrass and x2-3 Mango Sherbet by Humbolt Seed Company. Depending on whether I go 3 or 5 G fabrics, there will be 2 and 2 or 3 and 3. The other unit hasn't been decided yet, but will be moving on lemon and mango in about a week. Rebuilt and re-acclimated the prop tent so it's ready to go again and we can have a much faster turn over. Cutting a week off per grow and hopefully next round will be a full 3 weeks cut off by starting them elsewhere. -Bought a vaporizer from Arizer... Love it. Not wasting as much product now and still getting the job done without scorching my lungs. I do like cough lock however... and kinda miss it. Strange. -Waiting on ACMPR, but do have a proxy location I can exercise more growing and learning at. I'm not being used for once and my friend let's me do what I need to do, while he takes care of his own girls. It's a good deal so far and I'm not putting myself or my projects at risk. That's kinda important. Anywho! Thanks for stopping by. Yyyyep, I'm way behind on everyone's projects again, but am trying. Admittedly I've been busy and pretty self absorbed, but would like to change this. I shall see you on the flip side and I hope you all have a good week with the kids, friends and family. Cheers all and happy trails👋✊
