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.

Die GorillaZkittlez wurde an Tag66/45F abgeschnitten und ging in den einzelnen Trieben zum trocknen in einen Karton wo ein kleiner PC-Lüfter verbaut ist um die Luft in Bewegung zu halten. Ich musste leider wärend dem ernten wieder einiges wegschneiden. Das nasse Wetter hat etwas schimmel in die Blüte gebracht. Insgesamt sind dadurch bestimmt ⅓ - ¼ der Buds im Müll gelandet. War bei dem Wetter der letzten zwei Wochen auch zu erwarten.
Um den Rest der Buds safe in die Gläser zu bekommen, gab es für die buds einen ordentlichen wet-trim um weiteren schimmel zu vermeiden. Nach 5 Tagen waren die buds ferig um ins Glas zu kommen.
20.5g kamen am Ende trocken raus. Bei ca 10g die schimmel hatten, ist das Ergebnis für die kurze Zeit und die erste outdoor-ernte halbwegs zufriedenstellend.
Der Geschmack und die Wirkung trösten allerdings über den Verlust bei der Ernte hinweg. Das würzige dominiert den Geschmack. Allerdings kommen fruchtige untertöne im Abgang zum Vorschein.
GorillaZkittlez kam wärend des Wachstums gut mit dem wechselhaften Wetter zurecht. Nur die Buds nicht🤣
Allerdings hatten die Ladys auch keinerlei Schutz vor Regen und waren dem Wetter komplett ausgeliefert. Der strain wird trotzdem wieder sein weg in den Garten finden💚

In week 4-5 a fellow grower pointed out that the plants may be receiving too much nitrogen, so I just watered with ph water for a week! Not too sure how to tell if the water is working but planning on switching to flower nutes after this week.

Giorno 43 - le foglie erano di nuovo giù, fornisco 1lt di acqua a testa
Giorno 44 - stanotte alle 3 le foglie erano nuovamente tutte giù, ora sembrano essersi riprese un po’
Giorno 45 - fornisco 1 lt di acqua a testa, le foglie di “CARAMEL” erano di nuovo tutte giù
Giorno 46 - credo possa essere una carenza di azoto (N) e fosforo (P), aumento fertilizzanti (2ml/L bio grow, 2ml/L bio bloom, 1ml/L top max) fornisco 0,5L a testa, il terreno era ancora umido dopo l’irrigata di ieri
Giorno 47 - la dose di fertilizzanti di ieri sembra sia andata a buon fine, le foglie non sono più tutte giù ma stanno meglio
Giorno 48 - nulla di rilevante, la crescita continua, domani irrigherò. Ho comprato un ph tester che non riesco a calibrare, ne comprerò uno con la vite
Giorno 49 - le foglie di “Caramel” tendono sempre a stare più giù e ora si stanno ingiallendo notevolmente, fornisco 1 litro d’acqua a testa in irrigazione.
Giorno 50 - credo che le foglie gialle di “Caramel” siano dovute da una carenza di fosforo(P)e potassio(K), probabilmente non assimilata perché non controllo il PH

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step.
21/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.4PH water with 0,5ml of each: Grow, Bloom and Max, and 1ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, noticed almost no run off, I use about 1/3 of the nutrient dosage on the chart, to achieve about 200/300PPM (500 scale).
Did some light pruning also.

The Afghani has filled out really well. The smell coming from this plant is sweet and skunky. The cold night temperatures are causing the leaves to turn purple and some of the hairs are starting to turn orange. I'm having a hard time with identifying the difference between milky and clear trichomes. They look cloudy to me with a few areas that are still clear. I'm hoping to harvest next week but I may have to go another week.

Amnesia is 5 weeks today. Lots to say about this one, as expected she is big and bendy, so bendy in fact that I was able to try out my new LST clips on her and they work pretty well, able to ben the branches 90 degrees without snapping and the clips hold it all in place instead of trying to stand up again. I was even able to use them on the much more rigid Jack47. So this enabled me to have a scrog effect. The flowers are coming along fast. Can't wait to see how this ends up.
The Jack 47 is not too rigid but it's thick branches would normally just be left till they grow long enough to try and bend them out a bit without snapping them off at the stem. However I was even able to get some LST clips into this and form a lower canopy with the two topped branches coming out the top. I may also flatten them out later depending on what happens. Now that she is flipping I'm expecting some good growth next week, but I don't know, never grown this one before, my LST work made all the beautiful large lower fan leaves point downwards, I removed them all today.
Gorilla Cookies, what to say about this genetic monstrosity, she it beginning to stretch. The only reason I'm not throwing this out is that I want to be certain that it is a Gorilla Cookie, because I planted a replacement bean, and it looks completely normal. I thought the fat leaves on the Gorilla was good when I first saw it, until I realised it wasn't.

Week 7.
I adjusted the watering system so that instead of 3 minutes twice a day, it now turns on at 5 hour intervals during the lights on period. So the first watering occurs at 8 am when the lights come on, then again at 1pm, 6pm and 11pm.*
This turned out to produce too much runoff after the first day. So I adjusted it down to 1 minute for each fertigation, still at the 5 hour intervals 4 times a day.
I started seeing trichomes on some of the buds. They are still very early in their development, but I can see some sugar leaves starting to get frosty. The smell, which is sweet and green, has become more prominent when the tent is open, but not overwhelming by any means.

Flowering slowly, likely due to the roots having low PH(4-5)..
I flushed her a few weeks back.. I'm done experimenting with nutrients for now; I had better results, with less issues with just using the basics.
*Special Nug picture - This Bud-site has a different shape/structure compared to every other nug on this plant.. Never seen this before, on any other strain.

Hey guys :-) .
Today the plant was sprayed again with neem oil.
There weren't any more trips to be seen after the second application, but to be on the safe side, you did it again today get a cure.
That's why the beautiful dark shimmer on the leaves :-).
She has developed very well this week.
I will give you 7-10 days before I switch to flowering.
This week it was poured 3 times with 1 l each (nutrients see table above)
Otherwise everything was cleaned and, as always, everything was checked.
Have fun with the update and stay healthy 🙏🏻
