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.

Gelato 44 is doing great, she is coming closer to make some beautiful flowers and I will use some stakes to stabilize her a bid,
the weight of the flowers will be pushing her over I think.
Plant turned out beautiful so far, great trichome production and an incredible smell.
The feeding stays the same for now, I just added some Bio Grow from RQS.

LSD-25 by far my favorite plant I've ever grown. It's colors are so beautiful, it's growth is exciting to watch. Fastbuds really out did themselves on this one! I love it.

Almost the end of the week. I thought I'd put up a midweek post. First week of flower almost in the books and the stretch has started. Everything is going well so far. Nutes dialed in, plants happy, the green thumb is working its magic.

Barneys Farm Cookies Kush
7 Weeks of Flowering Completed
29th march 2020
Here we are at the beginning of the eighth week of Flowering for my Barneys Farm Cookies kush Girls. 😀
They are both looking good Phenotype 1 which is the Indica dominant plant has a higher leaf to calyx ratio than her sister the Sativa dominant phenotype number 2
they both have distinct characteristics to each other such as pheno1 has a sweet smell and more stickiness whilst pheno2 has more of an Earthy smell and is clearly the better looking of the two.
Both plants have not had anything for the past 3 days due to the fact that it's been very wet here & the relative humidity is almost at 90% at some times during each day.
They don't seem to mind not having been fed or watered which is a bonus as adding more moisture to the environment is not Ideal.
So far Zero signs of budrot unlike the other strains I have close to maturity which have all shown a little botrytis forming on some buds.
This has given me some hope of being able to let both girls grow right thru until optimum maturity, whereas the Jack herer , Red diesel and girl scout cookies will all end up being harvested
earlier than i would have preferred.
That is all for this week , Stay safe and away from the crowds everyone and I'll be back next week with another update 👍

Day 170 since germination.
Massive failure and waste of good weed. My 1st attempt at bubble hash. Firstly while this plant was drying I smoked some branches. So 73grams havest weight is not a true figure. Also there was lots of trim stuck to bud. I gave up trimming because it was too difficult a job. She was just left in the dry cupboard for maybe 2 to 3 months drying. That's why I decided to make bubble hash. Plus i need to smoke alot now to feel anything.
Being my first attempt at bubble hash I decided to use all filter bags. Soaked her in ice water for maybe one hour. After first run there not much in any bags except last two (25 and 45 micron) which had very little. Second run I used only the 25 micron bag and cut out all other bags in an attempt to increase yeild, however I got very little.
I am thinking trichomes heads were either too small and they fell through 25 micron filter which is the smallest. Small trichomes heads due to weak light Marshydro TS600). I also heard that lemon terpenes melted away in water. Or maybe I just did a shit job. I don't know if I should feel proud or ashamed of the 1 gram of hash I got. I will try again but with trim from my Gorilla Runtz Seedsman.

Week 4 of the flowering phase has arrived, and last week flew by 🌬️🌱. The ladies are thriving, and the buds are now clearly visible! ✨ The flowers are starting to turn darker, which is an exciting sign 🍒.
The first trichomes are already forming, hinting at a very potent strain 💎🔥. While the cherry aroma hasn’t come through yet, removing some leaves revealed an intense, waxy scent – very intriguing! 🌿👃
I’ll keep you updated with daily posts. Drop a like and stay tuned to see how the ladies develop 🌺📸. See you next week!
Woche 4 der Blütephase ist da, und die letzte Woche ist wirklich wie im Flug vergangen 🌬️🌱. Die Ladies haben sich prächtig entwickelt, und jetzt kann man die Buds schon richtig gut erkennen! ✨ Die Blüten beginnen langsam, sich dunkel zu verfärben – ein vielversprechendes Zeichen 🍒.
Auch die ersten Trichome sind schon sichtbar, was definitiv auf einen sehr potenten Strain hindeutet 💎🔥. Das Kirscharoma ist zwar noch nicht zu erkennen, aber beim Entfernen der Blätter wurde ein intensiver, wachsähnlicher Duft wahrgenommen – super spannend! 🌿👃
Ich halte euch weiterhin mit täglichen Updates auf dem Laufenden. Lasst ein Like da und bleibt dran, um zu sehen, wie sich die Mädels entwickeln 🌺📸. Bis nächste Woche!

Was gone for 4 days and Wholly cow has she stretched and grown! Update: did some defoliation, the roots were going into the gravity fed system so I trimmed the roots coming out of the bottom and elevated the pot for 4 hours to air prune the rest. Cut down one plant so she got to stretch out more!

Unfortunately, the flowers have not become particularly firm. But the strain has an extremely sweet smell and is very strong.
The mother of the cutting, however, looked better, both in terms of firmness, shape and strength, which is probably due to the fertilizer.
