Hi guys, just a quick info for whoever read this diary:
I started this run with two plants but during Week 9 (57 days: 49 vegetative + 8 flowering) I had to remove the one on the right due slow growth (issue started after I topped her).
Enjoy the reading.
🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Third run begins.
🍪🍦Cookies Gelato by RQS, my first time with photoperiods.
I created this diary at the end of January but due some problem with the new drip system (too ph oscillations), I decided to go back to my first love: the DWC.
This time, however, I decided to build my own DWC, taking into account the negative aspects that I find in the expensive DWC of various brands.
This tank has about 50 liters capacity and on the bottom I have inserted a metal tap that will help me with the solution changes.
The lid is made up of two parts, the upper one on which I made a hole in which I inserted a 2 liter planter full of expanded clay and the two root riot;
the front part of the lid is magnificent because it opens and allows me to do a quick check of PH and EC.
This time I'm going to count the days from the germination date. I'm going to VEG for about 40 days, then switch to 12/12 for about 70 days.
I plan on topping the plants during week 4, then defoliation + SCROG during week 5, switch 12/12 during week 6. Then lollipopping at the end of the stretch.
In this run I will use my new MARS HYDRO TS1000 2022 (already have one with 2021 MOSO driver), bought a few days ago to test the latest model with the proprietary Mars Hydro driver. I'm sure there will be further improvement in my performance 💪.
No sponsor for me yet, what I have is what I bought but I hope someone can help me to bring my crops to the next level. I'm planning to buy a new 90x90 tent and a nice 300/480 watt lamp would be very nice. Crossed fingers! 🤞
🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱GERMINATION STAGE🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
- 20/2/23: seeds in a glass of demineralized water, 2 drops of rootbastic and 3 drops of hydrogen peroxide for 24 hours, then in root riot;
- 21/2/23: seeds under TS1000: 100 cm distance / 33% dimmer = 50 watt;
- 22/2/23: first Cookies Gelato sprouted;
- 23/2/23: second Cookies Gelato sprouted. - Got some gift from RQS, really appreciated.
I'll consider tomorrow as 1° day of veg for all 2 seedlings. I'll switch 'em to 12/12 after 40/45 days of veg.

The plant is showing signs of being completely ready and I decided to test the Myth of putting the plan 48 hours in darkness one plant I decided to chop it down right away the other one I will put it in 48 hours of darkness and I'm going to see if there is any true difference in flavour and taste or Racine since both plans are clones they should be identical in end so any true difference between them will show If there is any truth to the myth or put it down as a false.
Despite being lots of mistakes along the way and suffering a lot from many different issues the plant has grown nicely in the garden and it has thrive in the Canadian environment.
I will update later on when the plans are completely dry and I cut it for for the curing process and also for check out how heavy they are thank you for reading have a happy grow.
After three weeks in curing process there is no true difference between both of them neither a bag of peel but unfortunately the one that I cut first retain more flavor and smell typical of the plant rather than the one that was left 48 hours in darkness the only thing I have not test is for rosin production because my machine have not arrived yet other than that the one that I not allowed any dark. Has better high better flavour and better smell than the other one this doesn’t mean that the 48 hrs. Doesn’t have any validation this only proves that in my garden I have no practical application for this technique
. Thank you for reading have a happy grow

The plant has a few retarded leafs for whatever reason, but it's healthy in color and still growing. Nothing to report about though.

I can not believe.😲
We have reached the end of another magnificent journey made together on this splendid platform which gives ease and opportunity to learn and perform in the best crops
I can already tell you that this baked tent is one of the best weeds I have ever grown so far!
But this can also be seen from the contents. Spectacular colors, solid gems....and resin in rivers
Stay updated for the white smoke 😋😎

Starting with healthy clones from my mom's. 12 crescendos and 8 CITRAL Flos. Using a new organic soil blend with a higher npk compared to all previous grows. I feel as though I've dialed in everything properly this time . Enjoy the content and hit the instagram link on my profile for more

As of day 14, I am happy (although a little worried) about how the grow is going. Growth continues to be somewhat strong and new growth seems to be healthy, but the issue that affected the lower leaves has left me a little spooked. It has continued to the second set of leaves to a limited degree. I have mostly eradicated the fungus gnats who moved in from some houseplants so that is a plus. Poor transplanting technique could have also damaged the roots, as the issues became most apparent after potting up to 1 gallon containers. Although I have been very careful to PH my nutrients after mixing, I realize I was not PHing at every fertigation and may have missed some early swings upwards in my watering reservoir so I am now being more diligent making sure the PH is consistently under 6.2. I am hoping that these actions will have fixed whatever issue was occurring, but if there is anything I may have missed please let me know!
I have a expanded the timelapse to contain all the growth up to day 14, and will continue to re-edit it for every week. Thanks for reading, and happy growing!
Day 16: began LST to expose/encourage the new branches. There has been plenty of healthy new growth, so I suspect that the leaf issues were due to temporary PH fluctuations in my watering reservoir that went undetected. Thank you to those who answered my grow question! 👍
Day 17: FIMed the Blue Dream'matic, which has been growing strongly. I went a little more aggressive because in the past I have messed the technique up by getting mostly leaf instead of the new node of growth. Hopefully it goes well this time!
Day 18: more LST will wait as my smaller plant Staples do not have enough hold, when I transplant to 5g pots I will continue.
Day 20: a few lower leaves continue to show the browning. I will transplant at day 21 which will give me a chance to check the roots, and I will be adding h202 to my watering bucket to prevent pH swings due to bacteria (which I believe has caused the issue). The plant is still growing vigorously and is branching well post FIM.

#43 clones are maturing too fast I feel. Especially that a mother is ripening normally. I would guess it’s because of poor rooting. It’s the only difference.
I keep runoff at around 3 max.
Around week 5 the runoff ph started to drop below 6. Even towards 5.5. Both in rockwool and coco.

Iphone 7 is a piece of garbage nevertheless these buds still make it shine hard. Smell of cheetah piss hoping it will be very unique smoke and effect.
Enjoy hope all are having killer success with their grows, ✌️

Die Gorilla Melon hält sich vom Höhenwachstum wieder zurück und hat viele Untertriebe ausgebildet. Um den unteren Trieben für den Stretch nochmal die Chance zu geben, habe ich die großen Fächerblätter entfernt.
Präventiv Neemöl gesprüht, weil ich ein paar Freunde gesehen habe.
Spraymix alle 2 Tage.
Heute wird auch die Lampe auf 12/12 umgestellt.

The 2 older BlackBerry's still look like they are struggling. They are growing, but I'm not seeing the branches starting to develop as I would expect by this point. The newer BlackBerry seedling looks fine. We'll see what happens over the next few weeks.

for my nutrients I have been giving 3.75 ml per gallon of fox farm grow big and 2.5 ml of fox farm tiger blood I feed them every time they need watering... I have not seen any burnt tips so they must be handling the nutes well. More and more preflowers are coming out. I am just going to say we are starting flowering this week, im guessing she will start flowering for sure by the end of this 5th week.

Die Woche ist sehr gut verlaufen :) das ist jetzt die letzte blütewoche ^^
Ich spüle seit 2-3 Tagen mit klarem Wasser die Erde durch :)
Nächste Woche schneide ich sie dann ab & lasse sie trocknen :)
