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.

Day 71 from seed the plant seems to be growing beautifully and now they are starting to develop beautiful flowers and they are entirely covered with white snow trichomes it is a very strong and powerful plant to grow what a beauty . I also I defoliate some of the lower branches that will not going to develop well enough because lack of light so they can use that energy on the upper buds instead of the lower ones. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

This plant has been my strongest/largest from the gate, so no surprise she was my biggest yielder! Incredibly strong/resilient from the start, however everything seemed to just go right for this plant. Lots of defoliation and attention helped cultivate dense medium-large nugs that certainly pack a punch! Very flavorful, and amazing aroma. I will definitely be growing this strain again!

6/11 day 55 day 56. Officially 2 months of growth. Somehow I've kept an auto flower in the vegetative stage for quite a bit of time. They are flowering and have stretched a ton. I will get actual measurements for each plant this Pheno #1 looks more indica (they all are) than the others. The pistils are shorter but more of them and the node spacing is a tighter than the others and she's stayed the shortest(least amount of stretch) and has thicker leaves(maple leaf style) her pistils started white and now have a pink tone to them and on closer inspection, some of the sugar leaves are purpling. This one could be expressing it more so because of environment. This week we've had lows and rains and cloudy weather. The other night it was in the low 40s, so in hindsight it might be environmentally expressed. Pheno #2 is the one that's been the most well rounded the whole time. Popped quick and has always been steady and not too tall and not too short. Her pistils are bright white like roots or an initial taproot. But the calyx are a deep deep purple. I believe this purple expression to be a genetic phenotypical expression rather than environment. The purple clashes with the white so beautifully. They just makes it all pop with the green. It honestly looks like a purple clover flower 😄

She is growing so fast! Already 19 days old. So far she's had light 24/7 and every time it rains I get some of that water. I think they get more nutrients from that water straighr from heaven, lol!.

Well this week I had to give the girls a fairly big trim they were beautifully bushy but they were struggling for space so I cut back the heavy shade leaves that were covering bud sites I am also adding bloom to there feed from now but they are doing really well and the smell in the tent is devine. 💚🙏🌱🙏💚🙏🌱🙏💚

1/10 Week 9 Long way to go but so long as before, things looking good Rehung the lights picked up four more inches of height which I HAD to have or burn Octopussy. The run down: In Flower tent Full Bloom nuets Pussy Galore (FF7) stretch has ended she is bulking like crazy Octopussy(LSD) Stretch finally ending she has more room now Plenty (GC) Just a damn beautiful plant bulking starting great, stretch been gone for a couple of days now Half n' Half 12ml/gal Grow 12ml/gal Bloom + kanga Solitaire (CC) Getting larger entering full flower will switch when I see more hair Chew Mee (F2) Ditto Bambi (F6) Ditto as well In auto tent switching to 12-12 today - Still on 20ml/gal GrowA/B +kanga Dink(FF2) Is just doing great! Tiffany Case - Gold Leaf ditto Thumper - FB FFT-8 Ditto Holly Goodhead - FB FFT-7 Ditto Mary Goodnight - ILGM Gold Leaf Ditto Clones: .75ml/L Grow A/B All made it though not all will be selected having to start that process now as they wont want to stay in those solos very long 1/13 Reduced bloom nuets for full flower seeing a bit of sign the N is too high. All others look solid so took it down 20% leaving PK as is 1/14 Everything got a dose of Neem oil, pots only Some didnt like the bloom nuet drop putting it back Wondering about the LSD/Octopussy first time growing this in photo so kind of winging it. Not sure if something is at her or just the way it grows. Dont see anything unexpected still dealing with a small population of gnats. Prob never be rid of them until we can get toxic on em. Auto tent is coming along began introducing bloom nuets to all 16ml/gal GrowA/B 4ml/gal Bloom Dink, its hard to imagine that plant a month ago Clones got a coat of Neem oil a bit of white fungus was trying to set up 12/16 Its all looking good, the issues we have we expected Made up the last pot for the clones with about 4 gallons of coco/perlite left over out of the original 40 gallons of coco, not bad 😎 May well be the last pot I make up here, *sniff sniff* 😜 Good night and thanks for all the fish

Day 65 (12/31): no change. Day 66 (1/1): I'm thinking the plant on the left will be finished before the plant on the right. The leaves seem to be fading and the trichomes seem to be more mature on that plant also. 11pm: just watered the plants nutes. Same as last time. Left plant 6mL micro 12 mL bloom. Right plant 8mL micro 16 mL bloom Day 67 (1/2) Day 68 (1/3) Day 69 (1/4): just got home from a trip. Plants seem to be doing fine. Nearing the end I assume. Plants will probably need water tonight 10pm: just fed my plants nutes again. Both plants received 8mL of micro and 16 mL of bloom. Day 70: (1/5) Day 71 (1/6): plants look good this morning. The left plant is definitely nearing the end of its life. The plant on the right still could have another week or more. Just posted a video: plant on the left definitely doesn't have very large or dense nugs but it has a lot of them. The plant on the right has some super dense nugs. I'm excited to see what they both yield.

I am quite satisfied, considering that they grew in a 120x120 box with a 150w led lamp, which proved to be exceptional!

Day 24 flower and holy frost! Sour Diesel is frosting up so much its crazy. The bud structure is abit smaller than all the others but man is it covered and look how much these girls stretched. Northern Lights isnt as frosty but has my favorite structure. Have alot of nice colas going and they are also starting to frost as well. Grandaddy Purp is surprising me in flower, this was the plant that's been the biggest and tallest the entire grow until now, it is the smallest. Its still stacking and prob going to be in flower longer than the others. I been hitting these girls with 800-900 ppfd at 18 inches from canopy and they seem to like it.
