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.

week 7 is ✅ nasc says 8-9 weeks of flowering so we should be getting close to the finish mark, day time air temps are still around 80 which is a lil disappointing, but other than that the grow is going easy, also should i flush? i only got 1-2 weeks left of flower and i been seeing mixed results online

We started week 7 Day 44 We noticed a little bit of nutrient burnt That's okay tho we went medium hard Last time we fed them It's okay, just the tip of 2 leaves not much to worry about. We already flush a little with just plain water today so she could feel better just in case. She's healthy and strong and developing tons of buds :) Any suggestion? Please feel free to comment below and thank you for your support, happy growing guys! Day 46 Great day outdoors from 7/7pm Rainy, cloudy, sunny But great after all, then we brought them back Inside for more CFL light Day 47 Weather outdoor Kinda hot but humid Only left them outdoors from 7/2pm then back inside for CFL Day 48 Fed them up, ladies all set All day outdoors great weather Gave them a Lil flush to each one after nutes, they had a nice run off Day 49 They looking even better today But I snapped accidentally one of the stems that carried 3 flowers, I was tryna get her LST so she could come out of scrog better but she's too thick and I was not gentle I'm so sorry guys, since she's full of buds and super healthy and literally fed yesterday and since she's full of nutes I think she'd be able to replace that stems which has already another bud forming below, so I think she'd be ready to double the stem and produce like 4 times more Buds on that area, that's what I'm hoping since it's not the main stem, anyways, I will keep you guys posted. I'm the mean time I'm taking that ripen stem with buds and hanging it so she can cure and dry and even tho it's so small hairs are already turning brownish so I guess I could smoke it and try it in several weeks I guess not sure but will keep you up to date and will open a grow question to see what's up with that Day 50 Outdoors from 6.40am until weather gets too hot DAY 51 Not much, everything good Day 52 A little bit defoliation Day 53 Outdoor and indoor comfort zone She's great we expanded the net we were using and also watered them a little End of week #7

They be stretching!! she has sprouted up alot this week! I am not seeing the normal vigorous growth that i have previously and honestly I think its the $50 cheapo ph tester i use, its not very accurate i dont think!!!! Sooooooo I finally bit the bullet and bought a $120 one that arrives tmr. This should help alot I think as I am seeing deficiency issues that I believe are related to the PH being off!!! by next week I will know how bad my tester was, this is something i wanted for a while but just didnt want to spend the 120 for a quality one, hope this helps alot!!!

🍁Dicas e sugestões? As meninas agradecem! 📸Update de fotos, vídeos e informações diariamente. DAY 22 Estudado muito para ver se aprendo algo sobre NUTRIÇÃO DAS PLANTAS e consigo fazer um bom schedule. Daqui 3 dias começo alimentá-las com nutrientes minerais. Infelizmente preciso esperar os medidores de pH e TDS/EC chegarem. O pior é que acho que elas estão pedindo comida. Ainda bem que são só 3 dias até os medidores chegarem. DAY 23 Amanhã os medidores de EC e pH chegam! Minhas meninas finalmente vão ser alimentadas, estão famintas com certeza. Cresceram muito e comeram o “quase nada” que tinha no substrato. A deficiência de Nitrogenio (N) já pode ser vista nas folhas enroladas 90°. DAY 24 😃 Os medidores de pH e EC finalmente chegaram!! Já podemos começar a alimentação das meninas. Todos muito felizes. DAY 25 Todas meninas devidamente alimentadas. Muita expectativa para saber se elas gostaram dos nutrientes. Elas estão crescendo bem, mesmo com fome (até 1cm/dia). DAY 26 😍Minhas meninas estão crescendo maravilhosamente! Hoje reguei só com água, mas amanhã vou dar mais comida de novo. Escolhi dar alimentação 2 vezes na semana. COP está cada dia mais bonita. C4 foi removida do growbox e agora está na varanda aproveitando a luz natural. Agora são 4 plantas, as 2 mais fortes irão para a floração na barraca. DAY 27 As meninas receberam a segunda alimentação da semana e ficaram muito felizes. Aumentei a rega para 500ml/planta. DAY 28 ✂️ Para aprender e entender um pouco melhor como funciona e como elas se comportam fiz hoje poda de cobertura e defoliation nas plantas C1 e C3. Na C1 eu deixei 4 fan leafs, na C3 eu deixei 2 fan leafs. Espero que elas gostem do novo penteado. 🎃Obrigado por verificar meu cultivo.

Took a while to get there but OMG little note quick! So I started her in a 1 litre pot and stuck her on top of a 1.5L Pepsi bottle with the top chopped off! And she yielded heavily for that amount of soil a whopping! 224.63 wet weight so can’t wait to see what she holds dry because them buds were like boulders! So dense! I will be back to document her dry weight and then a couple of weeks later with the update on the smoke report! But I know it’s going to be so loud! She has deep pungent aromas like gassy and sweet! She’s going to be a powerhouse! She was a little over as today a banana developed but that just tells me “well done” timing just right! She’s a little long for my taste of auto but I do suggest anyone grow her she’s amazing! In the end!

mrjones - Slurricane #7 S1 🌱Slurricane #7 S1 @inhousegenetics_official 👨‍🌾🏽GD Grower: MrJones 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹GOALS🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 🌞Environment - 75/80℉ and 55% Humidity 💧 Feeding - Advanced Nutrients Organic ⚗️Soil - 50% Ocean Forest / 20% Tupur Royal Gold / 10% Earth Worm castings / 10% lobster Compost / 10% Additional Perlite 🍃Training / HST, Will be topping, Cloning, and creating larger plants, and placing to flower under a trellis 🕷️ IPM - Will be using Green Cleaner" 1 OZ per Gallon, and CannControl from Mammoth alternating between product each month for Integrated Pest Management. 💡Mars Hydro LED / Veg Geeklight Monster Board 480W V4 / Flower 480W FC 4800 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 📜 Rambling - With the start of week 5, did some serious HST, super cropping, along with a full stem massage, Jushman Chropratic Style. Let's see how a week progresses and how they look at the week's end, 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 ▶️ Sunday - 03.07.21- The ladies are loving their new 5 gallon buckets, may be able to feed less per day or just less frequently, the new Pro-Mix HP is really nice. Super cropping is a high-stress training technique that involves pinching and bending branches to damage the inner fibers while leaving the outer lining intact. ... On a secondary level, super cropping is a way to manipulate how your plants grow ▶️ Monday - 03.08.21- Checked in on these ladies this morning, fed each plant with 40 ounces w/ nutrients, they were looking a little wilted, I also lowered the plants down (removed milk crates from under the drain tray) about 40 inches now from the lights, plenty of room to develop their legs. Will post some pictures later this evening. UPDATE - these ladies are already bouncing back! They are thriving! ▶️ Tuesday - 03.09.21- So after Sunday's session with HST/Super Croping these girls are bouncing back and looking great! They are creating amazing bushes and will be choosing one for mother plants, and transplanting the other 4 outside. ▶️ Wednesday - 03.10.21-these ladies are looking so nice but different, I am learning words likening the thicker ones versa the single Sativa looking 1! All good tonight will feed in the AM. ▶️ Thursday - 03.11.21- Fed full 40 ounces this morning. ▶️ Friday - 03.12.21- Tonight just a close inspection, they are looking great, will be doing a fill IPM on all plants in the morning. ▶️ Saturday - 03.13.21-- Fed full 40 ounces this morning. 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 📜 Cultivar Information - In House Genetics - Slurricane #7 S1 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹

Plant is starting to fill out nicely. Bursting with pistils. I'm curious to see how she turn out with the extra light wattage and the extra pot size as well as extra week or two to flower her longer

I'm so excited! This week she entered flowering! Almost doubled her height! Grew 22cm this week! I have transplanted her into a 10 Litre fabric pot. I've never used these before, but they look promising. Different to airpots. I'd say more extreme tbh. Oxygen to the root zone is never a bad thing 😎
