This week, the pre-flowering began, slowly began to give fertilizers for flowering, I water every other time, first with fertilizers then with clean water, 2 liters, every 2 days, as the top layer of the earth dries.PH hold 6.5-6.3, PPM 643 last watering, 2 ml per liter. The plant drinks a lot .The week passed without problems, ahead of the long-awaited flowering.

Hello fellow growers week 4 is upon us for the cookies gelato by RQS Day 22 Veg Phase I think i have bin trying to mutch technieks at same time idk it's my first grow . So the first topping i did didn't work there is still something sprouting out so i think that was fail on the cookies gelato #2 so i just Going to try to LST the main . Cookies Gelato #1 was topped yesterday and i think that work better 🤔 but i did say that with First topping 🤣🤣🤣. In the process i did twist some main leaves on both plants i hope that didn't do to mutch damage to the process . Like was saying before i am still new to and very eager to learn . But to mutch at same time cannot be good either Will see true the day's thanks for stopping by and have a look good luck growing everybody 💪💪 Day 23 Veg Phase So today i find out that i wasn't doing topping but FIMing . And yeah it looks like it . She didn't stop growing but made more sprouts 😎😎😎. Came home today and all looking good 👍👍 Day 24 Veg Phase Broke one of my big leaves 😢 with doing the LST clips . It was def my own fault but you learn from your mistakes 🤘 Day 25 Veg Phase They are looking good i see some yellow spots on some point of leaves but i think they had to much nutrients so i have bin giving just regular water in between watering . I have 4 plants growing and it looks like there all half week apart from each other . It's not very consistent but it def helps me see if something happens with First plant i can do something before it will happen to the other ones . Day 26 Veg Phase I have def bin giving them to much nut i saw white salt build up on my fabric pots . So today i have flush them with pH 6 water until all the soil was moist and would drain out . Now i am going to be not giving them anything until next week of growing phase 2days from now . And then start keeping up EC levels etc . Day 27 Veg Phase No watering just some LST with the clips on plant is def topped the other wel look your self it's a monster lol Day 28 Veg Phase Week 4 of Veg is over doing good no watering today . Tomorrow will be giving nutrition to water again 🤘🤘

The plant started off good. Unfortunately the environment wasn't the best to begin with but overall I think with the deficiencies still present. It turned out okay. This was grown with just the standard grow micro bloom. Due to covid, I was unable to order additional macro nutrients. Yeilds suffered as a result but overall happy for my first grow.

Day 43/Flower Day 15 - Stretch, stretch and more stretch. Literally have all my headspace taken up and thats using flat LED Bars! Its not for want of light, these things HAVE to be getting a DLI over 45 now if not near 50 (I need to do a test)!!! Defs going to invest in 2 Royal Blue LED Bars for next grow. As soon as I bend over/tie down one set of big pushers, another pair start up that were not being shaded/shadowed by the previous set. Worried too with the stretch being as severe, the yield will suffer! As noted in comments, will be venting the building the grow tent is in better very soon but when I can get that done is another thing!!! Looks like I am going to have to pull my extraction out of the tent and run a blow through the carbon filter and get some more ratchet hangers to give me an extra 9-12"!!! Has to be Heat/Humidity and then the feed from the lights giving them what they need. Luckily, I am due to be receiving a 6" AC Infinity Setup tomorrow so may be the way to set it up just for the last 8 weeks of the grow. Also had 2 brand new RAM 7" Oscillating fans pack up within a few hours of each other...not 4 weeks old and they're done! The Sweet Cherry Pie defs not setting buds as quick as the Red Hot Cookies...they look a few days to a week behind. This also probably means the last of growing different strains in the same tent! I don't have the space/means to set up a drying tent and need to use the grow space for that so need them to finish the same time. Both these are supposed to be a same week finisher but with the slower budset, I don't know (@Kagonisss, did you notice a difference in the bud setting between the Red Hot Cookies and the Sweet Cherry Pie???) - I could over-ripen the RHC or take the SCP when a bit under. Basically, that's it though. Nothing more to report other than things I have to engineer to get around! From the looks of it, I'll have no room to get my UVB tube in when the time comes but, dunno...we'll see. Have upped the Bloom Nutes now to be higher than the base to fuel the initial flower set. Have a bit of lower leaf fall off from lack of light/plants using the reserves and probs going to have to do a bit of a defoliate by the end of the week to settle humidity and have them top buds concentrated on. Apart from that, Happy Growing all!!! 💪

Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music Videos Week 16 Harvest 17 th April 2020 This Entire feminised seed making and growing project was a very good learning experience for me. Right from the very start, when I successfully got a Cutting ,taken from a Barneys Farm Red diesel female plant to produce feminised pollen after treating it with a silver thiosulfate solution. I then used it to pollinate a Fastbuds Girl scout cookies auto plant and let it grow to maturity. This only produced 3 viable seeds one of which is the subject of this Diary. I made up the name "Ginger nut cookies" after a variety of cookies we have here in Australia that are made with ginger. They are the same colour as the distinct red hairs on the red diesel buds. And would you believe those same vivid red hairs were passed on to this plant so I wasn't too far off the mark with the strain name. Her flavour however is nothing like red diesel or girl scout cookies and infact as taken on a smell and aroma all of it's own. She has a lovely tropical fruit like taste and the smell is a bit like fruit yoghurt. It has an unreal after taste on the exhale and the lingering second hand smoke smells very sweet and enticing. She has a pretty well balanced high too not as potent as the GSC nor as energenic as the red diesel but just a pleasant mix of the two. It was a very easy to grow and undemanding plant that didn't seem to require a lot of extra feeding other than the 100% organic nutrients that were within the soil and a few things like compost teas etc. The other element of this diary was of course the weekly Aussie music videos That I provided the links for and put up a little video clip preview of each Artists song. Week 1 Dance Monkey Week 2 Gotye Week 3 AC/DC Week 4 INXS Week 5 Dire straits Week 6 Yothu yindi and Midnight oil Week 7 Divinyls Week 8 Was Request week where I asked growers to pick and because only 3 growers put in a request I decided to choose all three which were Kylie Minogue , Flume & Airbourne Week 9 Paul Kelly Week 10 Daddy Cool Week 11 Cold chisel Week 12 Jimmy Barnes Week 13 The Angels Week 14 Crowded House Hoodoo gurus Mental as Anything Week 15 Empire of the sun Big Pig , Silverchair , Peking duk Grinspoon , Hilltop hoods and the White stripes And Finally for the last lot of music videos I have chosen another multi list bonanza of Aussie Music with the artist/s name and Youtube link below. So in no particular order here are my last choices for this Diary its been a fun grow with a steep learning curve.

This is a great platform full of great growers and great people : 1: The End.......

Short and stacked with really tight Node Spacing. Packing on the frost already! I decided to go in and take some of the larger Fan leaves off being very selective in which and how many I take .

Started the new nutes a few days ago w/ epsom salt. Before that, for a day & a half, I used plain pH'ed water & trimmed off affected leaves. Such a slow grow 😕

Topped this week the two girls, having a lot of development in a busy like shape. Dropping my tea undiluted once every three waterings EC at 0.4 this time, and I’m alternating a bit the tea composition, this time brew with honey and worm castings + Recharge and Azos 24h.

The stretch I experienced this week has me questioning what a stretch really is anyway, cause I've never seen one like this 😅 ...starting to get a little worried with the tent size though... again, amazed with the structuring of this plant. Comparing to other growers who are doing different fast buds strains, definitely not the same for them. True test will come later into flowering!

Always enjoy growing these awesome genetics looks like we're off to another great start with the first week

Late post for the week my bad been a bit lazy. But these things are going nuts. I think theyre done stretching. There's alot more swelling and the stench is pungent. My air purifier was masking the smell. The small one has a lime, deisel, cat piss smell and the other one is kinda like a peppermint catpissy smell. Its hard to describe. I've raised my light to the top of the tent and have started using Cal mag as well due to the yellowing in the center of the canopy. Im pretty sure its caused by either bleaching from the light or heat so im hoping the use of cal mag will help strengthen. I've also added 2 fans to attempt to drop humidity and cool things down. Its not really working but trial and error. Ill try to be on time next week. 🤙🤙

She's just caked. Incredible. Followed by sweet smells around the room. Shes a small beauty!

Vamos familia, actualizamos la tercera semana de floración de estas Lemon Cherry Runtz de FastBuds. La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos. En cuanto a las plantas las veo verde sano, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también. Se nota que los nutrientes de la marca Agrobeta cubre todas las necesidades de cada ejemplar. Las flores empezaron a formarse, por el momento todo correcto, os dejé también alguna novedad y un cambio en la sala, agradecer al equipo de Mars hydro por el nuevo TSW2000. (los últimos 5 años cultive solo con los leds de esta marca) los cuales probé, TS600, TS1000, TS3000, TSL2000. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

They are bulking up a bit more. Still nice and bushy both, still think both will be female. Finally, colours are getting greener and they are filling out nicely. Last couple of weeks before harvest, when my tent is filled to the edges on all sides and the plants can only go up is the moment I will hit the switch to 12/ 12. Thank you @MarsHydroLED, check out awesome deals on: www.mars-hydro.com I gave them a bigger feed today, up to now I have been stingy on the water, to prevent the gnats and let the root systems develop. Thank you for checking in on my grows and your comments and likes!

She looks wonderfully beautiful and vert healthy,she just like her sisters has started flower on August 3rd let's see how she performs,I'm loving this strain Black cherry punch so far! 🔝💚

Massive 💚

The roots of my plants are growing incredibly, I will move on to the flowering period in the 3rd week.

Очень высокие растения, все место занято, а они все растут и растут хотя должны уже расти не вверх а в ширь :) Ожидаю что растения наконец начнут набирать массу :) одна девочка лидирует, остальные пока отстают. Высота растений 1 метр, кроме одной малютки которую пришлось поставить на ведро что бы солнышка больше доходило. Поставил угольный фильтр и он работает на ура, запаха нет, только в самой комнате
