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.

Not even sure if they’re actually in week 10 haven’t really been taking too many pictures. Really loving the gorilla cookies and how big they are vs the apricot auto in the closer left corner. All other 3 are gorilla cookies autos. Just started feeding just distilled water for now and flush them to get for hatbest

Things are starting to turn around. The girls are looking much better overall. Starting to see some nice color and growth. I've beed watering mostly with plain ph'ed water. But I've also started adding a little Cal-Mag (from Symbys) and Recharge once per week. The new Blackberry seed popped a couple of days ago, I'm still waiting for the new DianaMed and Cherry seeds to pop, hopefully they will pop in the next day or two.

Chunking up rather nicely right now, and smelling incredibly potent! As you can tell from the picture several bud sites, two mail cola's and a few other primary cola's that are dominating the canopy of the plant! Cannot wait to harvest this sucker!

Hello, well as you can see the girls are doing amazing. I think they have done stretching and are now starting to stack on the weight.
I’m super happy with how these girls have come along they really are big beautiful women 😂
Can’t wait to show you all how they turn out for the next 4-5 weeks will be a nice Journey.
Until next time growmies ✌️ 08/28/23

So, Nitrogen deficiency SEEMS to have slowed down or stopped (hopefully). I've upped the FloraMicro as well as the frequency of feedings, from once a week to 2-3 times. Next year I will plant in soil as I'm going to fly through nutes, and the Midget that's planted in my flower bed has received nothing but water and has shown ZERO deficiencies.
The girls have now also began to show a Calcium deficiency as can be seen in the pics on new growth, as a result I've upped the amount of CaliMagic as well. Weird as I see many people feeding 1/2 the dose as recommended by GHE while i'm feeding the recommended and then some. I'm guessing it may be because the girls are big, not sure. Oh well I ordered a gallon of each of the nutes and a gallon of KoolBloom from WEGROWBUDS.ca Highly Recommended.
As soon as my prize comes in from @HumboltSeeds I will be planting 4 girls indoors!
And FYI I may break this diary up into the Blue Cookies and White Widow individually, we'll see.

Hey 👻
After many months without updates, here's a little one.
These are the originals mother plants, i took 100's of clones out of em and then flipped to bloom 2 months ago.
Here's a few pics of different bloom stages 👆
I began flush today after aprox. 60 days of bloom, i'm looking fwd to cut in 7-10 days, depending on trichomes 👍
I'm not expecting a big harvest but at least a quality one ! I kept a few phenos of Peach Tree, Pink Gasoline and L.A. Kush Cake 🙌
I'll post a final update when i'll harvest 😉

Day 57 - Yesterday I noticed that the leaves are darker than they should be, so I re-made the mixing solution lowering the PPM from 750 to 550. I've tried to raise it to see how much nutes that ladies can handle since it's my first time in coco and I like to experiment. Now I'm going to finish this mixing solution and then stabilize the next ones on 650 PPM. Keep learning every day 🙏
Day 60 - Today I added one extra equivalent 75W LED to give the lower nodes more power. Some fan leaves touch it, wish they will not burn. New update in the next days.

Straw-Lectric Lemonade-STRNG Seed
W9 01/04-10
These strawberry collection gals are growing steady during this early stretch. I gave water only last week to contain the stretch. Based on their growth, I don’t think it helped much. I also turned the lights down to 80%. Other than Cadillac1 all the plants look the same so I tied ribbons to the pots as identifiers for pictures. Kitties lost interest in my leaves, now is play with the pipe cleaners.
I’ll have to tighten them up as I found one on the grow room floor.
Strawberry Cadillac -Purple
Straw-Trop Cherry-Red
Straw-Lectric Lemonade-Yellow.
01/05 Supercrop Last week I indicated I might supercrop Cadillac1 since she is so tall. Well, you will see pics during the process of bending the stem and taping the position. I pinched the stem in my fingertips and rolled it a bit, then bent the stem, (notice the outer casing is not broken) applied tape to the joint to keep the branch from completely bending over. Each side had at least 3 nodes.
1/06 the side nodes on the branches have turned up and made more tops.
All gals show the beginning of white hairs identifying they are female.
1/9 Strawberry Cadillac #1 46” #2 37“
Strawberry Trop Cherry #1 24” #2 41”
Straw-Lectric Lemonade #1 33” #2 35
A side note: I’m taking applications for Spring & Summer cabana boy positions when I go to the beach. Strawberry Cadillac has the big fans needed for the job.
Important dates
11/9 Germination
11/25 Transplant to 1.5 gal,
12/1 Topped, Pinned and removed 2 large center leaves
12/5 Repositioned pins and removed lowest fan leaves
12/16 Topped 4 tops on each plant except Cadillac1 (first topping) and put manuka honey on the cut.
12/24 Transplant to 5 gal
12/27 Defoliate all
12/28 Flip to 12/12
01/05 Supercrop Cadillac #1 at the joint where I topped her.
Stay green, growers love 💚🌿
