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.

They began to flower already. LST going well. I started it about a week ago. There are some signs of calmag def or root problems butI am pretty sure it is the “super soil” I read soil, runoff and ph a 1/4 of the dosage for WICCA bloom and calmag 1cc ph 6.5. Once they began to bloom they began to act out. Specially the green crack. Droopy and I feed them ph 6.3 water (Tap). Pulled light up a bit as it showed signs of burn. They perked up but now show signs of calmag? not sure what is happening. Everyone gives a different answer about ph as I am growing on Super soil. Some think I should keep it 6.1-6.3 and other 6.5-6.8. Hard to tell what to do with so many different answers. Some tell me to flush, others to feed slow, other say I should not feed them at all. Who knows? lol

Week 9 for Lemon Orange by greenhouseseedco, Been trying to fix the nitrogen deficiency while also some other stuff as some of the growth has been fairly poor... Not where i expected to be with them i expected to be in flower by now but not just going to flip them while unhealthy that would be a waste i think. So ill be trying to get everyone in order before i flip them. They are starting to get some extra colour on the leaf though so thats a positive.

March 7, 2023 Skywalker OG Day 45 Height: 34.5" DLI: 45 (below top) Wedding Glue Day 38 Height: 9.5" DLI: 25 Going into week 6, I expect to see massive bud production from Skywalker OG. She looks great and has a ton of bud sites and is stacking beautifully. She has also started her Bloom nutrients. I use Fox Farm Tiger Bloom. Wedding Glue should be stretching this week as well. She will certainly fill out even more and I'll definitely have to defoliate one more time. Everything looks great on her. Beautiful lush green and great form. Definitely will be super bushy. Then there is that clone I made from Skywalker OG. It rooted and seems super healthy. I planted her in a 1/4 gallon nursery bag with the 50/50 Fox Farm mix. So she is planted and living in the tent now. I'm going to die if I get a nice cola out of this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 55.3% VPD: 1.19 kPa March 8, 2023 Not much going on today. Skywalker OG has some great internodal spacing. Looking great! Wedding Glue got a few more leaf snips. Opened the canopy right up again. Clone... Nope! She gone! I was mistaken. No rooting. Oh well. Grow System Environment: Temp: 71.9° RH: 55.1% VPD: 1.17 kPa March 9, 2023 Lots of filling in last night from Skywalker OG. I had to take a few leaves off that were directly covering bud sites. Nothing crazy though. Her buds are really well formed and growing rapidly. Wedding Glue hasn't stretched yet, but she is definitely looking about ready to. She is getting wider and I can only hope that she will shoot up during her stretch. She will be massive. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 54.6% VPD: 1.22 kPa March 10, 2023 Skywalker OG is stacking! The smell is still weak, but it smells great! Her buds are filling in quite nicely. I snipped 4 leaves that were becoming a problem for lower bud sites. Wedding Glue is looking great! Still slow growing, but robust. Branches are becoming nice and strong. She will definitely be able to hold a good amount of bud on them. She still has a bunch of huge fan leaves, but they seem to be helping her with developing a natural level canopy. She is starting to get a distinct smell from her branches and stems. Nothing super strong but a nice smell either way. Grow System Environment: kinda messy today. Temp: 71.8° RH: 55.9% VPD: 1.14 kPa March 11, 2023 Unfortunately I have run out of FishShit so I dropped it down to 1 ml per gallon for the rest of the week. Hopefully I can get more ASAP. Wedding Glue had a bump in her nutrient uptake from 1 ml to 2 ml for the week. Speaking of uptake, they have both gotten really thirsty in the past day. Both reservoirs were bone dry this morning. I have to keep a closer eye on the water levels. Finally, Wedding Glue is growing upward. Or at least starting to. Her branches are all reaching up now and most have broken through the canopy. I'll do another light defoliation when she really gets into the stretch. Just the biggest fan leaves. Maybe 10 total? Skywalker OG looks great! Trichomes are starting to develop all over the smaller fan leaves. Pistils are massive and stacking is getting impressive already. Most branches have some pretty good internodal spacing, especially through the top 8 inches or so, maybe 10? Either way, I hope to see some big and long colas for this lady. She also hasn't stopped growing either. Grow System Environment: Temp: 70.9° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.10 kPa March 12, 2023 Skywalker OG looks great! She's building those buds so nicely and she is starting to get a beautiful pungent scent. So far just gassy. Wedding Glue is getting bigger and bigger. I believe she just started pre-flower today. Hopefully the stretch will be here soon. Grow System Environment: Snowing Outside Temp: 71.4° RH: 54.4% VPD: 1.17 kPa March 13, 2023 Final day of week 6. Wedding Glue will get a defoliation at some point in the following week. She still hasn't started stretching, but she looks like she is getting ready to. Skywalker OG looks great as ever. She is definitely too close to the light at the top, but the rest of the canopy is comfortable at a DLI of 45. The top is around 68. Much too high. She looks great! Pistils are getting bigger and more abundant. Even on the lower bud sites, the pistils are huge and numerous. Great end to the week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.4° RH: 54.8% VPD: 1.20

These girls are extremely healthy and I'm so happy with the growth so far. I originally only had a mars hydro to 1000 in the tent and just upgraded it to a marshydro fc e3000 and gonna allow them to adjust to light intensity before I flip to flower very happy with these genetics though I feel this yield in gonna be amazing as long as I run its course properly and give them proper attention. The Planet of the Grapes is by far the biggest girl and so happy I ran this strain.

Welcome to 📅Day 1 6/7/2021 the girls are doing great and I'm happy they have started the veg faze on mon. This new setup uses both my AGLEX 1200 lights and my MARS HYDRO TS1000 but I'm not using the AGLEX just yet as I'm sticking to the MARS HYDRO for the start of veg. At this point I will mention the 2 sponsors of this grow, the first being SWEET SEEDS for giving me the seeds I am using in this grow. thank you very much 💖 my second sponsor is MARS HYDRO for giving me the TS 1000 to use I am very happy with this light I only wish I had 2 of them lol. thank you 💗 Update 📅 Day 5 6/11/2021 sorry for the late update but GD was not working yesterday. The girls are doing great and I'll be keeping with the top watering for most likely 2 weeks. the Mars Hydro TS 1000 is great for veg🌱 as it is great for growth if you like taller veg plants for easier SoGing and micro topping this light is great my only wish is that I had a TS 2000

Girls are really full on flowering!!! They all seem super happy! Been trying to get on a better flushing regiment as it seems to really help around harvest with salt build up using general hydroponics nutrients. I can already see some buildup around the fabric pots. Gonna do a basic pesticide foliar spray with azomax. I don’t see any pests but I’d like to keep it that way esp since I’m flowering now. But everything is going as planned and keeping a watchful eye on them. Oh and also did a little defoliation again...the Maui seems to just keep bushing out while the dosi just wants to stretch!! Super impressed with the genetics and resilience of these 2 strains

Day 51 - Week 8 started and it’s looking like I really need to stay on top of watering her. If she doesn’t get water every 2 days, she seems to get severely dehydrated and droopy. Within an hour of watering she perks right up. Went ahead and gave her a feeding of nutes and tucked some leaves as best I can. Day 52 - She’s perked back up again and looking normal. Did some defoliating to get more light to the bud sites and also tucked a few leaves to avoid over stressing her from plucking leaves. From the way she’s been acting, I will be giving her a gallon of water every 3 days to keep her from drying out and drooping. Day 53 - Did a little more leaf removal and tucking today to try and keep her opened up. She’s starting to fill in a bit more and will be giving her some water today to make sure she doesn’t dry out too much like the last couple times. Day 55 - All looking good and she’s dried up a bit but gave her a gallon of water today. Didn’t do any defoliating today, just watered her and tucked some leaves. The wife will be taking care of my girls while I’m out of town for a week so hopefully they survive till I get back.

20 Weeks Total 12 Flower Weeks Harvest HARVEST - 12 Weeks, 4 Days - 2022-11-21T20:00:00-0600 Today (chop) is the 14th day since moving to 18/6. The Foxtailing of the top flowers indicates 1) light stress, 2) Reveg . . .?
 Even with 18/6 and TWO full weeks beyond week 10, I’d have waited another 7-10 days to ripen the Trichomes to my liking (>1/3 w/ vanishing abscission). As is - I know we’ve more mass - they’re both trichome laden - the smoke test will tell. Phenos #7 “Broader Leaved” demonstrated moderate inter-nodal spacing, stacking buds put to the terminal flower(s). Flowers started as tiny ‘sunbursts’ of pistols in the common form for broad leaved plants in general. She branched significantly more than I expected - the buds along each mainline cola are on a small stem that’s 1/2” - 3” long, with a 1.5” to 2” bud attached. The buds spiral up the cola, starting (with varying internal spaces) Ambassador Cartwright Ambassador Cartwright by IRIE Genetics Transition to Flower Afterglow X Arise (Clementine X Arise) X Arise -> Afterglow BX1?
