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.

Flush Week! Was hoping last week woulda been enough but i dont see near enough amber. Gave em a few more tomato stakes for support and we'll see how the week finishes! I'm really hoping for that signature fruity pepple taste. the smells are pretty fruity and a bit of citrus like its name sake however the trichomes look less or smaller on it but the bud is so big and dense. Smells very different than the sour gummy bears i have going that's for sure. I need a bit more amber. I really hope a week is enough ________________________________ These monsters have inspired me to get a tray so much!!! They are almost to heavy to move. Really wanna try and get a tray stand with legs with a way to drain out! Gonna be a game changer. They can be pulled pretty much at any point, But I might as well finish the week! The fade out has gone perfect and they are a riot of yellow and purple! They look gorgeous and delicious and smell nice and Fruity! Soooooooooooo Close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the end has come to this beautiful strain What can I say it was fun to grow even considering the early problems I had with the yellowing it turned out amazing The smell and taste are out of this world. Tastes very citrucy and sweet. With a super heavy high. Looking forward to curing this one. Onto the next and big up the followers

02/24 Been busy. The room is wild. I have done 0 defoliation at any point. They were tied up and grew all natural. 🤦‍♂️🏽Big buds everywhere. Thank you for technology. The pics dont do it justice. We are getting some fade as i have completely phased out nuts, except for the bokashi/ffj to ph. The smell is insane. The color change or senescence is accelerated by the hormone Ethylene found in the ripening fruits in the bokashi/ffj mix. Although it may be abscission in this case 🤷‍♂️🏽 . They have some good frost. Ill get some better pice this weekend before the lights come on. Thanks for scopin.

26.04.21 so Woche nummer 6 hat begonnen und ich habe heute an gelato #1 und #2 ein paar Blätter entfernt und die Pflanze gelato #1 ein wenig auseinander gespreitzt so das die buds ein wenig mehr Luft bekommen morgen nehm ich mir dann die anderen beiden vor, ein paar Blätter weg für mehr Luft Ach ja und unterm netzt hab ich heute noch die vergilbten und vertrocknet Blätter entfernt war auch ne gute hand voll aber is ja eh nur unnötiger Ballast für die pflänzchen und zum Geruch kann ich nur sagen der limoncello Duft der anfangs da war ist nicht mehr so kräftig dafür erinnert mich der Geruch an eine berühmte eismarke Ben &...... Und zwar 1 zu 1 cookies&cream 😂😂😂 was mich natürlich heute dazu animierte gleich nen becher zu kaufen..... 27.04.21 hab es heute zeitlich leider nicht geschafft gelato 41 #3 und #4 leicht zu entblättern und ein wenig auseinander zu ziehen um den buds Luft zu machen, hab das jetzt auf morgen verlegt, dafür ist mir aber aufgefallen das gelato 41 #2 anfängt ihre stigmas zu Karamell Farbe zu wechseln😵😵😵😵 Sie ist viel früher dran als die anderen und ich habe nur mein anbau Zelt zum trocknen ich hoffe das die anderen auch langsam hinter her ziehen das sie alle zeitgleich fertig werden sonnst is die eine sicherlich drüber übern Zeitplan beim Schnitt und mehr amber als die anderen von den trichomen her naja muss ich wohl durch..... 28.04.21 so heute hab ich es geschafft gelato 41 #3 & #4 ein wenig von blättern zu befreien damit auch die buds mehr Luft haben war auch ca 1 1/2 Hände voll Blatt Werk bin soweit zufrieden fürs erste.... 29.04.21 heute war nix los im Zelt hab den Pflanzen beim wachsen zu geschaut und mal die ganzen buds begutachtet ob irgendwas an Krankheiten oder schimmel anwesend ist aber war nix da läuft würde ich sagen die ganze arbeit zählt sich aus denke ich mal Ach ja und unter den Töpfen im video das ist mein buddy sein name ist barney und er wollte auch mal hallo sagen normaler weise darf er nicht ins Zelt aber heute war ich nicht aufmerksam genug sonnst sitzt er immer ganz brav mit seiner Freundin vor dem Zelt wenn es auf ist und begutachtet alles von aussen obwohl die beiden manchmal eher so wirken als würden sie gucken das ich ja nix verkehrt mache.... 30.04.21 heute stand nix an, hab das Gras schon fast wachsen gehört so gut finde ich den Fortschritt. Die Rechte Seite meines Zeltes sind die buds eher kürzer dafür aber mächtig fett und die linke Seite naja die ist eher länglich aber auch fett vom Umfang her nur länger, dafür is die rechte seite mehr kompakt und die linke Seite baut grad erst die dichte auf is aber auch schon gut fest.... 01.05.21 heute war mal wieder giessen dran 4,5 L für alle 4 Ladys wollte heute eigendlich noch mal von unter dem netz an die Blätter ran und ein paar entfernen hab es aber mal wieder nicht gepackt zeitlich werd ich also morgen machen..... 02.05.21 hab es heute Geschafft wieder ein paar Blätter zu entfernen dabei sind mir diese hässlichen goldfarbenen Blätter aufgefallen heut morgen war es noch ganz wenig und 12 Std später is fast alles an dem einem bud befallen werde morgen die Ladys mal durch spülen mit Ph 6,5 und schauen was passiert. Hab extra drauf geachtet heute Temperatur im Zelt war heute genau 24, 8 in der Nähe des buds bemessen rh liegt tagsüber bei 47% nachts bei 57% und die Nacht Temperatur liegt bei 16,9.....

Oh girl oh girl, these ladies are having a good time. Switched the light schedule to 12/12 on 13 nov (21 days after germination) Steady growth on all plants still. I haven't switched the LED lights to flowering mode yet because there's no sign of flowering growth yet. By doing this the plants will stay nice and compact. Last watering was on 15 nov (5 days ago). I will water again tomorrow. This is my second indoor grow ever (and my first serious attempt), and I refuse to make the same overwatering mistake again ;) I removed 2 big fan leaves on the top of every plant. My theory is that the soon to become colas will get a bit more light and reach to the canopy quicker, let's see what happens over the next week. One of the cons of using seeds for a sea-of-green is the possible difference in growth. Luckily not too much difference in height between them so far (please note I corrected their height differences last week by raising some of the plants. I noticed a glassy, weird look on some of the leaves in the far left corner of the grow tent. After contemplating I realized that my fan was aimed in their direction and the issue might be wind burn, so adjusted the direction (see first photo) I noticed slightly higher humidity, around 60%. I will keep close attention and take action to lower it if needed.

Ladies look to be comfortable, roots are growing, leaves are spreading and look good. I overwatered them a bit but they ate that all up, next week I'll transplanting them as they've overgrown this cup quick. One of them is growing upwards much faster than the others, will have to keep an eye on that one. First pictures are from beginning of the week and the last ones last day of the week.
