****************** GINGER NUT COOKIES *************************************************3rd Jan 2020********************************************************** Awhile back I made a diary on here, about how I used a Clone of a Red Diesel from Barneys Farm plant, to create feminised pollen by reversing the sex using sodium thiosulphate mixed with silver nitrate which then makes silver thiosulfate solution or STS as its probably better known To get up to speed that diary can be found here https://growdiaries.com/diaries/42051-barney-039-s-farm-red-diesel-grow-journal-by-grey-wolf-growdiaries Then after I proccured some pollen I pollinated two Plants from Fastbuds in this Diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/42635-gelato-auto-girl-scout-cookies-grow-journal-by-grey-wolf-growdiaries This diary will be showing the Growth of the result of Crossing the @BarneysFarm Red Diesel with the @Fastbuds Girl Scout Cookies auto . In Australia we have a cookie variety called Ginger nuts and I thought that an apt name for this strain combo I will be growing it in Soil fully organically with Sunshine and Love. Fuck knows how it will go and how it will even turn out but that just makes it more interesting & challenging for Me. So here we go & Let the Fun begin........................🙏🙏 Once a week I will post a link to an Aussie Band/performer performing one of their best songs to start things off Please Watch this video clip Dance Monkey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0hyYWKXF0Q

Week 11 here with our GELATO AUTO by Fast Buds! February, 02, 2020 (DAY 71) - What up what up growmies! Welcome to week 11 where we see this beast is just swelling up. She has always grown just perfect i couldnt be happier. She is really thick and frosty now i think the big bud is really going to shine on this one. Im sorry the last two weeks werent filled with updates, life has been busy and complicated i truly am sorry and will do better i promise. February

I hung dried for three days and then bagged them up in brown paper bags for two days due to the low temps and humidity before jaring them.

I’m surprised they weren’t affected by the power outages since I kept them in 48 hrs of darkness before returning to the regular light cycle. Had a small thrips disturbance as these were clones and I believe that was the original source *THEY JUST KEEP COMING BACK GRRR* Next go around seedlings only, low baked soil and proper sanitization of my tent. But as it stands I’m quite curious as to how much these buds will pack on since the light I have is “rated @1000w” but the power draw is considerably lower than that. Looking very good so I’m excited either way!!! Until next week growers

Still planning on chopping her sometime this weekend. Day 72 - Almost ready, just some updated pictures for the day, nothing much has changed. Day 73 - Just some more pictures for today, I’ll chop her down on Saturday and looking forward to it. This girl stinks to high heaven and want to get her drying. Day 74 - All set for the chop tomorrow, she’s used up all the water in the soil and she’s about 15% amber, just about the way I like them.

Mini group cute 😍 I like art, bonsai cannabis :) Honestly I had some issues I had to change the soil no choice but all good now they started coming. Cute little bonsai girls. Fetrilization continues the same way on Monday, Wednesday and on Saturday with the mix above :)

Love this plant

Defoliation on day 45, smells like tangerines

They're really starting to bush out, I think I'm liking the topping of all tops on the whole plant 1 time. Makes it easy to train as well. We'll see how they compare in harvest amount to my LST long veg plants.

week intel: we getting close to end of ripening , this week i raised drought , Nitrogen and E.C stress by feeding them 2 times per week and raised e.c to 3 to cause real stress that will help increase terpenes production stresses : Nitrogen deficiency Stress by removing the fertilizers that has N in them Drought stress via removing one meal in week high E.C stress around 1.7 and the other feeding day 3.0 , 2 times a week feeding: no more Nitrogen i feed them 2 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with Bio-Bizz Top-Max + Feeding Booster about 850 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause a medium e.c stress. day 3 : no more feeding this day day 5 : i feed them very high dose of Bio-Bizz Top-Max + Feeding Booster around 1500 ppm - 3 e.c to cause high e.c stress guide of the week : be patient in the last weeks, never hurry for harvest because its the time of ripening in last 2 weeks you should let plants to do their work last weeks of ripening is the time to break the limits we should cause 3 stresses as i said above Nitrogen stress , Drought Stress , E.C Stress

Well I decided I had to pull the plug on this girl with all the weird weather we've been having. I've been pulling yellowing fan leaves off her for a couple weeks now and with our 2nd heat wave and all the smoke & ash thrown in for bad measure... it's been truly weird. Yesterday was a day for the record books around here - it was so dark I could tell my pets were spooked. Even they knew it wasn't supposed to be this dark in daytime. Probably how animals react to things like a solar eclipse. If they haven't got somebody nearby to reassure them of some sense of normal - the alarm bells start going off. I hadn't really gotten the impression this girl was all that fragrant during the flowering process UNTIL I was washing all that ash off her this morning - then I was like - WOW this stiff is pretty intense in the nose. One thing I'm pretty sure of is that the sun ain't coming out for a couple more days the ways the smoke be flowing around here. We'll see. Two more plants on the patio but they aren't far behind. September 13 >> Debudded the Widow late this afternoon to make space in my shed to harvest Jack Herer in the morning. She was still a little moist as I harvested her 3 days ago - but it hasn't been that hot. The smoke is still hiding the sun and the atmosphere is labeled "unhealthy". Hung her up in my front bedroom to finish the drying process. I should note the passing of reggae giant (many say inventor) Toots Hibbert, of Toots and the Maytals last Friday. I went looking for some pics of the last show I saw him at and coincidentally it turned out to be one year ago today, September 13, 2019 at the Independant in San Francisco. I was lucky to have seem him a few times. So I uploaded about 30 seconds worth of Pressure Drop from that show. RIP Buddy. 😪 ====================================================== September 21 >> Finished hand trimming the Widow yesterday while mostly listening to the last round of the US Open. In September... while they're playing Stanley Cup playoffs too. Very weird time.... both these things normally happen in June every year. The buds weighed in at basically 8 ounces (227 grams). The trim came in at 325 grams - and in this case I use the Trimbag - although I don't think she was really dry enough to get proper function outa the bag. I still spent over 6 hours hand trimming the remainder AFTER the Trimbag in this case. It wasn't really a problem because I had like 10 hours of US Open coverage for 4 days to burn thru. In the process of turning all that trim into hash at the moment... because I'm all configured to go at the moment after making Wonder Pie hash last week. I'll stick it in the garage to dry for a few days and add the weights later. One thing I've noticed that's probably pandemic-related is 90% isopropyl alcohol has become very hard to find (haven't had to look for like 6 months because I had a couple bottles that lasted). I've used it to clean my glass bong/dab rigs for years. 70% is there - but even that now it's like you have to ask for it. Times change. ====================================================== September 26 >> Weighed out the hash collected from the trim... 12.94 grams 120+160 micron = 1.47 g 73 micron = 5.50 g 25 micron= 5.97 g

well this little girl has just started pre flower so she should be in full flower by this time next week. Hopefully she gets some fast growth before the flowering begins.

This is my First Ever Grow, If you have ANY tips for me, please, don’t hesitate to leave me a comment.

Week 25 - Frosty buds! Finally some time this weekend to defoliate! And look what I found: lots of frosty buds. The smell is delicious. Sweet lavender aromas, very warm. I like it a lot. Is this what she will taste like, too? Harvest is close.

7/21 Girls were trimmed of solar leaves, then switch fertilizer to flowering stage, flowers are appearing everywhere
