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.

I moved the plants from the solo cups to the 1 gallon buckets by the end of the 1st week of veg. Now i am transplanting to a 3 gallon bucket because I will flower the plants in a couple of days. I topped once the plants on the 2nd week of veg.

i didn’t defoliate this week on this girl. I don’t think she needs it, and I don’t want to risk stunting her. The structure is open enough that it shouldn’t be an issue.

A big hello to all the cannabis growing gardeners...and all the other visitors that came across my grow journal. Just on harvest day I was summoned on a long quest...around 700 km. will be away for three days. I will update this diary as fast as i"m back. For now just the photos as no time for anything. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now cannabis smell is overpowering in my grow room I can finally write something about Spider Farmers 6-Inch Inline Fan with Smart Controller and Carbon Filter :) As my grow room gets really stinky at times i always invest in a top shelf carbon filter almost twice the size of the one provided by Spider Farmer, to my shock Spider Farmer carbon filter absorbs the smells wonderfully well. No smell leaks and that just when the fan is running at 5 out of 10 levels of output. The smart controller is something completely new to me, and had a lot of fun experimenting with it during the veg and early flower, when the smell began i needed it to run full time at level 4 or 5 to rid the fragnance. All in all the whole combo is a great deal. If you are not as keen on technology the set without the controller is awesome on it's own. But to have some extra options open, the controller at the device throws at you a ton of settings you can use to optemiase you grow enviornment. The SE 7000 is hanged at 40 cm. over the canopy and runs at 520W. This whole grow's main sponsor is Spider Farmer. You can easily obtain all the great grow equipment we use at: spider-farmer.com A big thank you to Jessie and the whole Spider Farmer crew for supporting me with the newest technological advancements in horticulture. Thanks to them what i do here is possible. Thank you Mafia Seeds for giving me the opportunity to try out your stock. seedsmafia.com/en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/moby-dick-feminized.html Plagron did send us their Contest package for the Power Buds competition . Thank you for your visit, please leave a like and hope to see you beck here in about a week.

Her tap root sprouted within 12 hours of wetting! I moved her from paper towels to the aerocloner after only one day. Mokum’s Tulip was the 1st Prize Best Indica, in the Clouds in the City Cup 2019. She is a Gelato-based feminized seed variety which has a sweet candy scent similar to a Dutch Tulip. She is very strong with mind-numbing effects achieved by crossing selected Gelato and Sherbet genetics. Terpene rich and THC rich, this XXL variety has rock hard buds, heavy yields and an exhilarating high.

December 29 day 15, growth is fine, I will likely top the plant later in the week. Roots are developed enough to remove humidity dome, although I am still running a humidifier. December 30, day 16, topped the Malasana cookies and removed growth at the first node. I am not mainlining as I don't think it would give me an even canopy across the 8sqft growing area this plant will take up. The topping won't give the same symmetry, but with a bit of training I will end up with an even, wide canopy. I removed the branches from the first node as I would have to end up removing a lot of that growth. In my experience those first branches never fill in as much anyways. December 31 day 17, recovery from topping going well. Put the humidity dome back on to keep the VPD at around .8kPa. January 2 day 19, despite the large pot causing a bit of overwatering leaf droop the Malasana cookies continues to recover well. I am done with the humidity dome after waffling back and forth quite a bit. I posted an image in more natural light to so that the leaves are a healthy green. Just that edge curling that will work itself out when the plant grows into its big container. January 4 day 21, growth is taking off as it should at this age. Its still going to be a long veg to get an 8sqft flowering size. Recovery from the topping is good, and new leaves are healthier with less clawing. I applied LST with plant ties to get growth to head toward my plant training frame (atlas plant trainer).

All genetics are loving life and looking great as you can see 👀 Thanks for answering my question regarding light schdule. I am keeping them on 18.6. If something isn't broken why change it. That is the motto I think. Shout out to all that have commented and watching and popping In to see my progress I appreciate it all.

Chugging right along, the buds on this one are miniscule compared to the pot-mate's. Makes me wonder if it's a slower genetic, or just a low yielder. No top feeding again, except for the Tropicana Cookies is the 1 gal. 12 hrs 45 minutes on.

**** HAARVEST ZOE **** Nice Strain , My little Zoe really made all the mistakes you could possibly make. No matter when I give light or want water or fertilizer. It grows and grows and grows, the main thing is that there is light. It was one of my free seeds from Zamnesia. So far all seeds have germinated. I store my seeds in a dark, airtight container at 6°C. Tastes kind of sweet after curing. Greenhouse Feeding is a really easy fertilizer to use. I used the BioEnhancer again and again. My little Zoe thanked me. The BioGrow was used as topdressing and is doing its job. The BioBloom also does its job at the right time. And that's really great and easy if you don't have an autoflower. Of course there is a corresponding product. But I was happy to get anything here at all. Legalization has wiped out the market. But for next time I have an appropriate soluble fertilizer for fast-flowering plants. It doesn't work for 8 weeks :)) I use a Sanlight Evo 3-60 1.5 with Bluetooth dimmer. There's nothing to complain about there. Set daily cycle via app. Helpful if the weather or environment is so bad that you have to regulate the light intensity. 33g after 5 days dry . 24.5 °C to 22°C with 50%-60% . curing in a vaccum box at 18°C . It looks like I'm drying too long. // It tastes a bit crunchy. Day 79: trim , slow vacuum box to cure 22°C and 61%rH . Day 76: videostuff: been drying for 4 days (res 640x480) ( optical zoom x200 - x250 ) Day 72: DLI usage total this Plant : 2236.6 DLI in 70 Days . wet trimmed, cut off, hung upside down. see you after 14 days Day 71: preparing for harvest . 24h long night session . DLI : 0 Day 70: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 800PPFD (03:30) - 800PPFD (16:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF video and photo tryouts with the digimicro mobil x300 optical zoom , mostly freehand Day 69: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 1000PPFD (03:30) - 1000PPFD (14:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF incredibly hot and rain. lost some terpene :)) Well, summer is coming, Day 68: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 600PPFD (00:30) - 800PPFD (03:30) - 800PPFD (14:30) - 600PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF - Added 1L bottle of water It's hot, hot, hot, Zoe would like more water. changed daylight cycle so it match the weather problems. tent is open until my real night comes. 103 flowers (including popcorn) counted, due to an accident about 15 flowers are missing. Day 67: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 600PPFD (00:30) - 900PPFD (03:30) - 900PPFD (14:30) - 600PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF - watering bottle water 1.75L weather to hot , changed daylight start time and daylight cycle so it match the weather problems. I'm lucky, buds are still growing :))) Day 66 (we are on the road with maximum sanlight ) - analyse some trichome . - make some Zoom Pics and Video stuff . - Sanlight DaylightCycle : - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 1000PPFD (00:30) - 1000PPFD (13:30) - 800PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF - DLI will stress alot ... Anyway, it's too hot in my room... I open the tent and now everything is fine with the temperatures and I increase the Sanlight to 100% for the first time. May Zoe love it or leave it :)) We'll see what happens Day 65 : Sanlight DaylightCycle : ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 800PPFD (00:30) - 850PPFD (13:30) - 800PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF It will soon be ready for harvest.
