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.

Info:
Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media.
I am only active here on growdiaries.
I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake.
Have fun with the update.
Hey everyone ☺️.
This week she has developed beautifully 😍👍.
No training was done this week but next week all drives will be topped :-).
It was poured once with 1 l, which is enough at the beginning because the humidity is very high 👍.
I wish you all the best and have fun 🙏🏻

So things are going good. I had an issue with my shower and was worried where the pipes would take them but it’s all good now. The leak was from below me it was just they had to turn off the stopcock to my shower. So it’s nice to have a shower again!
Iv not done anything this week really other than poke my head in.
Oh shit yeh I actually hoisted the fc-e3000 up and put it roughly where it would be in a 180cm tall tent but then I also added my TSL-3000, daisy chained them and dimmed to 60%. Ideally I would have the fc-e3000 the other way round so that I could put the bars either side of the TSL-3000.
I was looking at the 2000’s editions of High Times me man it takes ,e back - all the ads are either full grow boxes that are ‘stealth’ or detox solutions for drug tests! Haha bad times….not much better here now tbf.
I did find it interesting that it took the police a while to get used to it when the states (well, it was only cali at this point) legalised for medical use.
The police here are in that phase here in the UK!
Edit: annoyingly I snapped the very top of one of the cola’s off by accident, which is annoying as there weren’t many to begin with. Hopefully it’ll just mean the very tip of the bud just goes down a little to the next node. We’ll see I guess! Tbh, I’m more concerned about getting some sort of bud rot from the tropicanna being too dense.
I wouldn’t ever veg plants for this long, with this many plants, in a tent this size again. Probably max of 3. Oh well, we’ll see what happens, I’ll probably cut off some more side nodes to create some air space
Edit: to be honest, I’ll most likely take out the long light because it’s just blocking loads of the light from the FCE3000. I think I’ll slide the fce3000 down to the end with all the tall plants as the canopy is all the size height and then add the 150w ts-1000 for the low down diesel plant.
Lights are on until 11:30 so I’ll try and do it today…

Ze krijgt deze laatste week alleen nog flawless finish mee van advanced nutrients.
De koningin heeft haar vruchten flink opgepompt.
Ik sta versteld van de prachtige zware toppen die ik heb moeten ondersteunen omdat ze anders zouden omvallen door de zwaarte
Echt wauw.

Holky se začaly hezky zabarvovat, velmi silně voní a do výšky už nerostou. Jen koukám, jak krásně nabývají palice :) O něco málo jsem snížil hlavní hnojivo a přidal víc PK na květ. Těším se :)

So this week after I gave it under nutrients I apparently gave it too much nitrogen while having a potassium deficiency. Shiney dark leaves, So i fixed that, but some didn't bounce back, and I tried nitrogen. I think they are doing pretty good considering everything I've put them through SO FAR. lol. Nutrients are NPK Raw's total lineup, follow their instructions at first, Fastbuds adjustments as of this week.

Cut the net down now as all stems hardened in place. Had a reshuffle and as the Dos Si Dos much taller i have moved lights to top and propped my other 3 up on boxes to level the height more.
Really pleased with this plant so nice and short but spread with lots of tops, smells really nice cant wait to see how this fattens up.
Had to do a little late trimming to open up bottom just removing little bits and leaves well under the lights.
Done this mainly to help with the airflow and just to give plants little more space as i suffered a little rot on my first grow as was cramped and struggled with humidity however got good dehumidifier and plenty of airflow so fingers crossed it stays well away this time.
Overall plant looks really strong and healthy cant wait to see how these last 4 to 5 week turn out.

Zweite Blütewoche und sie zeigen keine Zwitter Anzeichen. Sie entwickeln sich mega und legen eine Geschwindigkeit anden Tag, das ist der helle Wahnsinn. Wir sind sehr gespannt wie die RQS gegen die Fastbuds abliefern wird.
Second week of flowering and they're showing no signs of hermaphroditism. They're developing incredibly well and growing at a breakneck pace, it's absolutely insane. We're very curious to see how the RQS will compare to the Fastbuds.

A lot going on this week!! Feeding 3 quarts every Sunday and Wednesday at this point. I did a light defoliation on Monday and did a more thorough defoliation on Friday! I opened up a lot of bud sights and it shows in the pics from late in the week!!
I just turned the fan and carbon filter on. Temps are currently holding at 73-74F and the humidity is between 43-45%. I'm very happy with that!
I hope to keep them both happy!!
Enjoy!

Hey guys welcome back in week 13!! Almost there, this week i'll start building off nutrients so i can give them a proper flush next week.
Buds are still getting fatter each day and starting to smell real strong, i do have a bit of nute burn due to a massive PK boost (PK 50-31) but i managed to find the right amount i needed to give them,
this week i'll give them a milder PK booster.
So im keeping a close eye on the ladys and her crystals to get a nice 80% milky and 20% amber trichomes mix.
The NL X Haze clones are good to go so they need a little bit of patience, and when the time is right il put the left one of the picture in to flower, and the other one will me cut down for clones and prepare them for the outdoor season.
The other clonse i got is an "Ebola Virus" strain... the name isnt that beautiful but i've seen the mother where she was cutted from is an absolute beauty, not sure but i think i'll prepare 2 also for the outdoor season and save 1 as a mom, but like i said not sure yet.
Well thats it for now guys, see ya'll in week 14 (the last week if every thing goes as planed!)
PS: Sorry for the un-sharp pic's the lens on my phone isnt that good

Had my fair share of issues this week with the lsd25 auto. growth has almost completely stopped. I had to move her to her own 1.2m x1.2m tent as she outgrew the 1m x 1m closet. Shes been in a constant droop. Leaf tips curled down. Growth slowed right down. brown spots and yellow lower leaves. Made alot of changes so hopefully she perks back up now. Shes a beast!

The stretch phase is officially over, and now the plant is shifting its energy toward trichome production!🌱
I’ve started noticing a light scent developing, though it’s still not very intense yet. I expect that to change in the coming weeks.
I did a light defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration, and I plan to do another round in about two weeks.
Interestingly, the fan leaves are starting to take on a slight reddish hue—curious to see how that develops! 💪😊
So far, everything is looking great, and I’m excited to watch the buds bulk up in the next phase!

This week we moved the plants to a more secluded location, which was easier with small autopots. Leveling and terracing the equipment was a pain. I put individual 6 gallon reservoirs for each plant. This allows me about three days before filling up the reservoirs.
The biggest problem again was the plants falling over because of wind.
They have hit the ground over 20 times, maybe thirty. Each time this dumps the reservoir, so I had to make a ton of water this week. But they keep chugging along.
I staked and wired them down and so far so good for three days.
The plants are big, with my biggest being 7 1/2 to 8 feet tall. They have mostly recovered from falling over so many times. The branches have hardened so I can’t really stretch out the branches anymore. They’re tighter than I planned….
Flowering has started and should start stacking up on one or two of the plants next week. I’m just running Jack’s RO for weeks 4 to 8. I may start with some fulvic and humic acid soon.
Best of luck on your grow.

Day 53
I dont know how i skipped a whole week? But it happens
Plants are looking a little rough, i flushed 2-3 times with just greatwhite and water. Its weird because they got yellow so fast but the tips still look clawed im some spots so im scared to go back to full feed. Slowly added 1ml bioheaven and alga mic then 2ml/l bioheaven and alga mic. Tryingnto get back up to normal feeding

Growth in early flower stage looks good. Plenty of bud sites. Nutes and LST, then major defoliation in one week.
