Sunday, 27-02-2022 Fungicidal treatment with potassium bicarbonate on 20-02-2022 resulted in significant leaf burn on plants after foliar spray of 8.9 ml/liter potassium bicarbonate with unmeasured amount of Breakthru sticker spreader. I had dusted the plants and pots with insecticidal powder the night before and there seemed to be no ill effects. Rain fell that same night and the leaves were splashed with dirt from the pots so I decided to "rinse" them off with a fungicidal spray of potassium bicarbonate. At the time I was confident this would have no ill effects but now I am wondering if I just didn't remember previous phytotoxic effects caused by this spray. I am also thinking that because I didn't measure the amount of sticker spreader, I may have overdosed the mix and that caused some of the burning by literally breaking through any protective covering on the leaves and possibly penetrating the plant cells. As I sprayed the leaves water soaked spots immediately appeared and within a few hours there was obvious curling and burn, particularly on spots that had small clumps of insecticidal powder. Throughout this past week the visual symptoms of phytotoxicity progressed so much that by the middle of the week I settled my mind that this grow would be terminated this weekend. On Friday night when I came home and saw the plants in the dark I was more hopeful and in the light of day on Saturday morning I was quite pleased with their recovery. Lots of the oldest fan leaves were almost completely brown and yellow with light green veins and some newer leaver have been deformed. Thankfully there is little visual damage to most of the newest growth and after removing the worst of the damaged leaves I am remain hopeful for this grow. Continuing my theme of living in the moment of the grow, I am choosing to think of this incident two ways. First as a "trial by fire" for the plants that only the strongest leaves survived and second as chemical pruning of leaves that I would have removed anyway, just not quite yet. I will be seeking thoughts on the forum as to whether these plants still have hope or if unseen damage has been done that will eventually ruin them. Regardless, I will progress with this grow as long as possible to see for myself what the actual long term effects are. I have also noted what seem to be big hairy balls growing on plant #2 and have asked the forum their opinion. In keeping with my plan to quadline these plants I have clipped the last untopped plant and removed nodes 1 and 2 of all plants. After doing these procedures the plants really just look like heavily defoliated specimens waiting for further training, I am pleased. Despite the phytotoxicity, there was enough growth of the 4 new stems of plants 3-5 that I was able to tie them down. I am waiting for confirmation that #2 is a male to cull it, if not I will tie it down as well. Only fed yesterday because I was watching to see how the plants would do over the week. Wednesday, 02-03-2022 Culled confirmed male plant, thanks @m0use 😃👊! Fed and foliar sprayed with 12 ml/gal CAB and 7.5 ml/gal Cytokin. Used 9ml Ph down in 5 gallon tap water. Ph using ph paper 😞 was approximately 5.0 so I added unph'd 500 ml tapwater to my jug and added the 5.0 water to complete the gallon. Ph was approximately 6.

Week 6 - Maybe the last vegetative week. Everyone is topped and LST. I think I will let them grow in peace this week (Ill just fix the lst, no more toppings or cutting fan leaves) and install my scrog net

Taking forever for an auto but she's a beast.

we got one good ☀️ day this week. I lifted da plant up, removed da second bulb & still angry that it's been 12 weeks 🤯

The week was partly sunny and partly rainy and our plants had to be canopied on the balcony nearly every day. Rare sunny hours. Humidity is mostly ok, but I‘m checking now very regular if the plant need to be harvested. The flowers are covered in trichomes, pistils got brown on the upper flowers, the larger fan leaves loose their color and I could spot first amber. But I want to wait as long as possible. Pure rainwater in the morning and in the evening. Flushing first time with a good drainage. Trichome fotos at the end :)

Lil Nitrogen deficiency.

So this was my first grow on photos I have grown autos for a long time and I just couldn't waste my time anymore. I am pleased with the outcome but i will be starting a better diary with better plants in the coming weeks. Cheers. Light it up

Surprise Surprise 🎁. She's turning purple

Just continue with out door growing looking beautiful every day

Elegance in Bloom 🔥🍪🌸 My second Red Hot Cookies has officially entered Week 2 of bloom, and she’s already proving to be a real gem on the balcony. Compared to her taller sister, she may have started more compact and controlled, but now she’s stretching gracefully, stacking sites, and presenting all the traits I love about this strain. Her structure is even and balanced, and her leaves carry that deep, lush green that signals health and vitality. 🌿 She took well to her training earlier on, and now in flower she’s rewarding that work with a broad, light-friendly canopy. The pistils are starting to push through in abundance, promising a fine display of frosty bud sites in the weeks ahead. Watching her transition into full bloom is a joy—there’s something magical about this stage where the energy shifts from pure growth into pure production. ✨ Feeding & Environment Notes for the Week: 🔸 BioBizz Grow – 3 ml/L 🔸 BioBizz Bloom – 2 ml/L 🔸 BioBizz TopMax – 1 ml/L 🔸 CalMag – 0.5 ml/L steady to support strong cell walls 🔸 Dechlorinated tap water for all mixes 🔸 pH: 6.1 🔸 EC: 1.8 mS/cm So far, she’s responded beautifully to the transition. No signs of stress, no hesitation—just steady upward growth and early bud development. If she continues at this pace, I expect her to become a dense, bushy producer, with multiple tops forming into thick colas. 🌸🍃 This strain never fails to impress me, and I’m especially excited to see how Red Hot Cookies #2 will shine in comparison to her sister. Each one brings its own personality, and that’s part of the charm. With bloom fully underway, the stage is set for her to show what she’s truly capable of. 🔥 Here’s to strong pistils, chunky bud sites, and the unmistakable sweet-spicy aroma that’s soon to follow.

Esta semana a sido clave ya que vamos cortos de tiempo en este proceso, me hubiera gustado ponerlas antes Les empeze a echar liquido bio-bloom y an reaccionado bastante bien ☺️ Le emos añadido tambien al sustrato un poco de carbon para darle ese nutriente que tambien le aporta la energya a las raices 💪

Hi, the next week was without any problems. The girls are gaining weight nicely. The first one drinks 2.3 l, leaks 0.5. The second one drinks 1.7 l and leaks 0.5. The second one only gets Dragon force 4ml/l + a drop of calmag, I would like to fertilize this week and then flush for two weeks. The first one is about 2 weeks behind, she gets basic rotting + everything else except dragon force, but in a week or two I would like to start giving her only dragon force.

Here comes the first Preflower Update

Thank you everyone for following along ! This is it for this fine lady but I got some more beans to experiment with. See you guys another time ! It may be awhile before I get situated! I will be around though! If you can show some support for a little project me and a friend came up with for each grow !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhQWMl7kjLg&lc=UgwRIkWLHVSlsOJWXlx4AaABAg&ab

Buds are very dense and hairs start to go brown it smells amazing I lowered the nutrients strength a bit i aim for a 800ppm runoff

Day 35 - Ladies are way taller than I could have ever imagined & starting to get extremely dark pruple😍 make sure to check back for daily updates & happy growing friends✌️🏼🌱

Alles in allem ein guter strain. Sehr sehr oldschool kushy. Ertrag top. Den cut gibts wie immer bei ROOTS_FARMS. best genetik in europe👌
