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.

03/31/25:
Today was a major milestone in the grow: all five plants were transplanted into 1-gallon AirPots and topped above the 3rd node. I also cleaned up everything below node two, leaving each plant with two strong, healthy nodes to begin shaping their structure for the vegetative phase.
Normally, I wouldn’t combine transplanting and topping on the same day, as both are stress-inducing events. However, the plants looked robust and healthy, showing no signs of weakness. Because of this, I felt confident they could handle the dual stress. Still, I expect them to take the next 2–3 days to recover, after which I anticipate they’ll bounce back with even more vigor.
Each plant was moved into a 1-gallon AirPot, which encourages air pruning and promotes a more fibrous, expansive root system. During transplant, I sprinkled mycorrhizal fungi directly near the rootball of each plant to help stimulate root colonization and increase nutrient uptake during this critical phase.
On inspection, the roots were healthy and white, showing no signs of being rootbound—making this the perfect window for transplanting without risking transplant shock or root constriction.
The newly potted plants were placed back into the 4x4 tent, now sitting about 36 inches (approximately 91.5 cm) below the AC Infinity S44 light, which is set to 40% power. This provides a PAR reading of around 360 µmol/m²/s, which is well-suited for early veg.
To begin early phenotype tracking, I’ve labeled the plants as PP1 through PP5:
• PP1: Most vigorous plant so far
• PP2: Slightly behind PP1 in size and growth rate
• PP3–PP5: Showing very similar growth characteristics, slightly more compact
If early vigor is any indication of sex, I would guess that PP1 and PP2 may be male, while PP3 through PP5 could be female. That said, this is purely speculative—true sex traits won’t reveal themselves until preflower, and many vigorous plants end up being female as well.

Всем доброго времени суток ✌️
Смотрите со 105 дня
Наконец добрался до своего минигрова и переделал коробку,извиняюсь ,что долго не выкладывал,работаю сейчас почти каждый день и бывает не особо было времени идти на локацию,тут ещё передержал растишки в шприцах,поливы бывало пропускал,быстро сохла земля,так как корни уже вылезали из под низа,потом после пересадки,растишки тупили больше месяца,я думал всё,хана им,но выходил их,чему был очень рад,дальше ещё был момент,что мягкие поддоны в боксе прохудились от старости и когда поливал обычный гров,то вода проливалась после полива и дно коробки становилось мокрым,затем сверху от тяжести лампы,коробку промялась,вообщем самое главное растишки живы и мой проект продолжает радовать Вас и меня,сделал каркас из опор для растений, теперь точно спокоен,но вот момент немного не продумал,по поводу тренировок растишек,так сказать изподвыподверта ,но ничего через тернии так сказать,в шприцах делал спецом,чтобы потом удобно было пересаживать на вулкан,делаю полив ровно в жерло вулкана )) с такой жарой,пришлось делать отвод от напольного кондея к нижнему притоку, 105 дней от каски,а я ещё не разу не кормил удобрами ,только давал от биобаза витамины,теперь точно больше не пропаду и буду часто выкладывать контент,впереди грандиозные планы ,ну и надеюсь получится сделать изюминку к концу грова

I‘m really happy with the bud growth. I think the naturalgreenrootin leave spray did his job really well, I see more healthy plants this time.
Struggleing a bit with the humidity (55%) but it is what it is.
2-2.5 more weeks, smell is crazy right now

Not much again this week. I guess that's the goal though. No stress no worries. Just good growth. Lots of flower sites on the pineapple express. Very pretty plant but a bit smaller the the strawberry cough.
2nd week of the 12/12 and flowers are showing.
Thanks for stopping by.
Stay safe😷😷
Grow well 🌱🌿🌱

I stressed this lady out early accidentally , she bounced back as best as I permitted room for . She bared with me all the way until the end throughout this entire learning cycle . I’m deeply appreciative for the ease of grow & level of bounce back she had . It was the most impressive grow but it didn’t require rocket science to grow this either

Plant 1 chopped on day 75, dried for 7 days- yielded 36.8 grams dry (1.31 oz)
Plant 2 chopped on day 85, dried for 8 days- yielded 81.6 grams dry (2.91 oz)
Total dry weight is 4.23 Ounces (118.4 grams(
The plant smells very strong terps. Curing in grove bags now.

She was nearly lost before she began. After 24 hours in water, I planted her directly in Bio365 soil. But she didn’t break the surface. By day four, I gently brushed the soil and found her buried deep but alive—a yellow curl with promise. I left her lightly covered, and by morning, Ada broke through. This week was about not giving up too early. A reminder that growth often happens unseen. We started slow, but we started strong.

Der Orange Buds geht es ganz gut 👍.
In Hydroponic dauert es am Anfang immer ein wenig länger bis die Pflanze richtig durchstartet..
Ich denke mal in 2 Wochen fängt es dann richtig an.
DLI liegt bei 16.92 ( 20 h Licht bei 235 PPFD).
Heute wechsle ich das 1. Mal Wasser und gebe additiv Silicate von Terra Aquatica hinzu.
Die ersten Tage hatte ich Schwankungen im PH Wert,ich denke weil der EC Wert so niedrig ist und weil die Blähton Kugeln auch erstmal den angestrebten Ph Wert annehmen müssen.
Die Pflanze bekommt hier und da gelegentlich Streicheleinheiten von dem Mini Ventilator damit sie kräftiger wird
Bye

Week has had ups and downs🙃
Plants seem to be growing fine 🙂 But there is yellowing and spotting still that I cannot resolve.🙄
Day 22- Still having some kind of deficiency/issue. They are growing well, don't really seem to be stunted. I think I may have burnt them with nutes.🤧 Flushing may help. 🤷♂️😅
Run-off pH is at 6.08, PPM 266
I have flushed them, lowered feeding... I'm driving myself crazy. Hahaha
Update 119 Day 23- Things are looking better. I definitely have been overfeeding them.😅
They are responding well to half nutes.🙌
Issues seem to be getting much better.
Happy Growing!
🤙💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚🤙

Unfortunately, the plants have numerous leaves which look unhealthy (discolored, droopy, crispy/decayed). I removed the 3-4 worst looking leaves from each plant every other day, although I know that can be harmful to autos. Started adding in "Sensi Cal" this week to hopefully rebound from potential mineral deficiencies. Still using Recharge microbes once a week. Nutrients are now being administered accurately and at 1/4 the recommended level.
Despite the unhealthy state of the plants, the pre-flowering bud sites look pretty good to me. I'm happy to see healthy looking pistils.
Needless to say, I'm very eager to get these girls back on track and looking vibrant and verdant ASAP.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil.
Day 1 we had sunshine and clear skies until the afternoon. We had clouds roll in and about 4:00 P.M. a severe thunderstorm hit. There was high wind, heavy rain, and grape sized hail. Fortunately the hail lasted only a few minutes.
Day 2 we have clear skies and sunshine. The temperature is mid 70's.
Day 3 we had rain and thunderstorms through the previous night and into the morning. We had sunshine, clear skies, and temperatures in the upper 70's. That was followed by severe thunderstorms, rain, and a touch of hail from 4p.m. to 6p.m. These were topped and had thr bottom nodes removed.
Day 4 we had relief from the rain. Temperatures were in the mid to upper 70's and lots of sunshine. We have a few days of sunshine in the forecast 🙏
Day 5 we had lots of sunshine and clear skies. Highs in the upper 70's and 49% humidity. We needed the dryness. 🙏.
Day 6 we had clear skies and sunshine. Temperatures were in the mid to upper 70's.
Day 7 we had partly cloudy skies and temps in the middle 70's.
This week was a success. The plants doubled in height and thankfully didn't have any serious damage from the hail.

5 Tage Zelt , aber ich glaub ich trenn da noch einige dinge . alles recht fett geworden .
So vom 4 Tag im Trockenzelt mal Photos gemacht. DAs ist also die aktuelle Budgröße .
Eine sehr fluffige Sorte !!!
Es ist endlich Zeit fakten zu schaffen . Die Ernte hat glatt ein 5 Liter Messbecher gefüllt und hat dabei 145 Gramm erbracht. Die Buds sind eher fluffig als fest . Ein gutes Beispiel dafür das die Buds zwar riesig aussehen , aber eigentlich nichts wiegen. Obwohl das optisch mein Größter Grow war, ist die Erntemenge doch weit aus geringer ausgefallen . Geschmack ist kräftig würzig mit einer Methol Note . Die Trichome sind von einem Sidebud genommen. So wirklich gut getroffen hab ich den Erntezeitpunkt nicht . Aber es klebt und klebt und klebt . Einfach perfekt fürs Vapen durch meine Wasserpfeife .
