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.

She's chugging along this week. A few more tirchomes on show and the buds have swelled noticeably. Had to add some scaffolding to support some stems.... On she goes........

Veramente incredibile, la quantità di tricomi è indescrivibile! L'odore e fortissimo le cime sono durissime!!! I tricomi sono tutti bianco latte...finiró la settimana e poi inizierò a fare il risciacquo finale!!! Non vedo l'ora di assaggiare questa prelibatezza di fast buds!!! Come il solito rimango sempre allibito dalla qualità delle genetiche di questi ragazzi secondo me questo è uno dei migliori ceppi che ho coltivato entrerà sicuramente nella mia top teen!!! Grazie per essere passati da qui peace and love!!!

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de crecimiento de estás Zkittelz de Seeds Mafia. Ya a pasado 1 semana desde el trasplante y ya han recuperado la pequeña carencia de nitrógeno que se marcaron. La humedad está alta la mantengo entorno al 55%,y la temperatura la tengo entre los 22/24 grados. Controlamos en ph en cada riego a 6.2. Y el agua que utilizo de riego suele estar estancada entre 24 / 36 horas. El tetra 9 que añadí esta semana fue vía foliar.

Venga familia ya viene la cosecha de estas Runtz Punch de Herbies, que ganas que tenía ya de darles machetazo. Para empezar es buena variedad un poco tardía de lo que dicen pero me encantó cultivarla , aún con la plaga de trips que sufrí las 2 últimas semanas aguantaron y sacaron unas flores alucinantes. Las flores aparte se ven resinosas. La planta pues si creció vigorosa , no tiene mucho satélite es más porra central. a sido una genética con la que disfruté bastante, no fue muy complicada cultivarla.

I fed the Serious Kush with 10 ml of Bio PK for the first time this week. The Mango Lassi is definitely catching up and is a really fast grower. I defoliated the plants on day 21 of flower.

Well here we are at 14 days into bloom (day14) was 2 weeks ago Monday night I started the transition! And now look at these ladies! 🙌🏽 beautifully trained of course to accommodate all the bud sites that were situated! I’ve also been daily training maybe twice three times as they stretch pulling them back down and resting the main head on the scrog so the secondaries come up and allow the younger girls to rise to the top where they’re at too! The rest are not far behind now! Excited to get to the end of this one! Going to be a HUGE yield

😎 Ahuuu, siebente Woche und sie wachsen und wachsen, trotz hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit ist nirgends Schimmel zu finden. Was mich sehr glücklich macht. Das bekämpfen der hohen Luftfeuchtigkeit ist gar nicht so einfach, zumal die Temperatur nicht optimal zu regeln ist für einen guten VPD Wert. Es ist noch viel zu tun und ich freu mich drauf.

No bug or disease problems. I even took her off veg nutes way too soon and she recovered like a fucking champ. I’m popping two more this week. Unfortunately i didn’t weigh it because Of some very unfortunate circumstances that I was dealing with at the time. I essentially had to vacate my premise within 24 hours. A few days after harvest. Anyways. I ended up smoking the whole thing with my friends and it was straight fire. The terps were crazy also. Super sweet. After curing she had a very sweet smell like bubblegum / grape. This was only my second harvest ever.

Once again this week will be focusing on watering and keeping environment dialed in. Plants have some burnt tips from abit of nutrient burn, even though the fertilizer is slow release. Could have added to early into stage of growth. One of the three is really weird. It's buds are very small and there are a lot of them. Significantly taller than the other three as well. Not sure if it's genetics, or perhaps I messed up training it. Either way, doesn't seem very hopeful in terms of bud size. The other 3 are thickening up and are sticky as hell. The trichomes are coming in hard and the buds are getting weight. The smell is incredible, kind of a sweet sativa like aroma to them. Hopefully this week we will see more growth in bud on all plants.

There was a trouble, in the room where they cultivated they turned off the light, I had to transfer it to the street, since everything is in bloom, during the day the temperature is 20 degrees, at night 10, but they bloom and grow well, now I make a greenhouse and tighten the film

This week started with flowering. The lst was a bit too agressive and one little branch broke but I save it. I applied more lst to the plant this week. The plant doubled the size within a week. I had a pH problem that im fixing, the soil at one point due to nutes hit 4.8, way too low. The flowering is in full power now, I did a flush to adjust the pH and tomorrow will add new nutrients and control the pH. All good for now, a little of stress is visible on the leaves, is due to pH and strong light. For the rest everything else is going fine. See you next week.
